The First Brooklyn Bridge
1m The Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee Sentlnel.
The first of the four great bridges
that now span the East river at New
York. connecting Manhattan and Brook
1yn, was opened to traffic 80 years ago
May "A, 1888. 1t was commenced
in 1870 and when completed was con-
sidered one of the engineering wonders
of the world. 1t embraces a massive
stone tower on each shore, four steel
wire cables, 16 inches in diameter, and
a series of stout steel suspenders to
hold the framework of the bridge. The
river span between towers is 1895 feet
long, and the total length of the bridge,
with extensions. is 1880 feet. About 49,
600 surface cars now cross the bridge.
each month, in addition to the constant
procession of elevated railway trains.
The total cost of the bridge to date has
been $22, 100000. The second East river
bridge known as the Williamsburg, was
opened in 1903. and cost $23. 90, 600. The
greensboro bridge, commenced in 1901
and completed in 1909, cost $4,000, 900.

Weekly Cotton RepOrt

New Orleans, June THE cotton mar
ket was nervous and unsettled this week
and rather narrow as well. the range Of
quotations being 20 to 36 points. The net
results were a gain uf TO II points. The
high prices were made on Friday and the
low prices on Monday At the highest the
trading months We're IA to 26 points over
last weeks close. At the lowest they
were to 10 points under.
Weather and crop news this week were
decidedly favorable, bat the operations OF
the bulls in July effectually prevented a
downward movement of prices. The ru-
mors that muca cotton would be accepted
on July contracts caused great nervous
ress and much covering among shorts and
restricted short seliag of the new crop

that the crop mad made decided improve

on actual operations of $iM912000.
There was a corresponding decrease
of $11,032,000 in deposits and the only
feature of the statement that did not
seem in accordance with known facts
regarding the movement of money was
the very small increase of $403,000 IN
cash.
The preliminary estimates made the
gain of the New York banbs as a. re-
suit of known operations nearly $5,000,-

TYPICAL WEEK END
SESSION IN COTTON
Trading on Both Sides Is
of an Evening Up
Character

New Orleans. June Tt was a typi-
cal weekend session in the cotton mar
ket. with trading in both sides of an
evening up character. Scalping longs
took their profits whenever the market
showed the slightest tendency to ad-
vance and shorts covered on every lit
tie downward movement. Trading was
professional in character and very little
outside business came in.
The opening was steady at a decline
of l to points on good weather and
crop accounts. The favorable Liver
pool market had no effect. July stood
point over yesterdays close in the
early trading but even that month
made no great show of strength Be-
fore the middle of the morning prices
were 8 to 1 points under yesterdays
close This stimulated buying of covers
for short accounts which continued un-
til the trading months were l point
over yesterdays final figures. This
small advance was lost in fresh selling
ON the forecast of showers for the en-
tire cotton region. The close was un-
changed to a net loss of 2 points.
The weather map was cloudy and IN
dieated scattered showers over the
belt Temperatures were seasonable.
Crop accounts generally claimed that
prevailing weather conditions were
causing rapid crop growth. while al
lowing the necessary work in the fields.

Rally Toward Close

New York, June THE cotton mar
ket was comparatively quiet today and
showed a somewhat reactionary ten
dency during the early. trading under
realizing for over the weekend on
scattered selling inspired by favora-
Bile weather reports. Later, however,
prices rallied and the close was very
steady net points lower to points
higher, with the new crop showing the
gains, although there was no change
In the late weather and crop news.
The market opened steady at Sn-
changed prices to a decline of points,
with near months relatively easy in
sympathy with the cables. Indications
of showers and lower temperatures in
the south following mid-w week COM
plants of dry, hot weather, were con-
sidered very encouraging from new
crop standpoint and prices eased off
to net loss of about to points
during the early trading.
There was a little southern selling
here, supposedly on the crop situa-
ton, but the bulk of the cotton offered
was supposed to be in the way of scat
tered proht taking an das sellers were
not aggressive the market steadied up
some D or 6 points from the lowest on
covering in the late trading. Local bulls
attributed the comparatively steady
ruling of the market to continued
nervourness over the near month situa-
ton and reports that European spin
ners were disposed to buy new crops
freely on declines
Weekly reviews of the dry goods
trade indicated continued activity in
western textile circles and Fall River

trade here sold on the rains in Oklahoma

that there was a good demand for cotton

TRADING IS AGAIN
l|STLESS IN STOCKS
Some Important Stocks
Range Slightly Above
Fridays Close

New York. June 7.-Speculators who
took the view that the rise in prices yes
terday, coupled with the spirited buying,
Indicated that a turning point had been
reached after the long decline were dis
appointed by today's market. Trading was
listless, and there was no demand for
stocks such as might indicate increased
confidence in the outlook for the market.
Compared with the other earlier days of
the week, however, the market made
favorable showing. There was none of
the previous heavy liquidation or nervous
ness. Such pressure as was directed at
the list seemed to come chiefly from trad
ers who were induced to sell by the fact
that there was little demand for stocks.
For a time after the opening some of the
important stocks ranged slightly above
yesterdays close. The movement was
narrow and irregular, and finally became
definitely downward. The decline was in
f1uenced by the weakness of Can, which
sold off 3 points to 1884, new low f1g-
ure. Weakness of this stock was asso-
ciated with a report that the federal gov
ernment would soon institute proceed
ings against the company, but the report
Lacked confirmation, and apparently was
of the same character as similar rumors
affecting other corporations which nave
been circulated through the financial DIS
trict during the week. The bank state

amounting to only 100000. The heavy

MARKETS HERE AND
ABROAD AFFLICTED
Pangs of Financial Indiges-
tiOn Continue to Have Dis
couraging Effect

New York, June THE pangs of finan-
cial indigestion continued to afflict stock
markets both here and abroad through
out the week. The process of readiust-
ment while painful began to bring signs
of wholesome results toward the end of
the week. The same general causes were
operative as for some time back center
ing in the Balkan war with it's out
right destruction of capital. interruption
of banking and credit facilities and driv-
ing of free capital into hiding by the
alarms created.
The most active factor in the week
special weakness seemed to be the unex-
pected announcement at Berlin of fresh
imperial German and Prussan loans of
over $56,0oo000 to be issued on June u.
Lest February's German loans coming at
Il similarly awkard period Tor the money
market. were so unsetting to the whole
financial position that the new announce
ment caused forebodings. Berlin started
a fresh liquidating movement and drew
sold not only from the open London mar
ket, but from the Bank of England The
resulting rise in private discount rates in
London left small prospect of reduction
in the Bank of England rate for the rest
of the year.
The financial situation in Canada came
in for attention, account of enormous
borrowings of late years for Canadian
account in connection with rapid develop
ment.
Il became manifest. too, that our own
banking authorities saw the necessity OF
further readjustment of credits with no
10 toe ~f,rAt ,ftA.NI tfAV,
abroad The determined purpose of the
banks to keep liquidation resources i'm
hand was shown in the discouragement
offered to all attempts at borrowing for
new enterprises, well as In the retire
ment of existing loans. Successive days
saw prices on the stock exchange at new
low levels Sales of securities at auction
also reflected the pressure. The head
| long lengths to which the declines ran
and the character of some of the securi-
ties affected indicated closing out OF
collateral on forced sales. 1t was evident
that overloaded underwriters, especially
in London, were resorting to sales Of sea
soned securities to protect their subscrp-
tion to unsaleable new issues.
Factors of depression peculiar to the
New York market lost none of their force.
The st. Louis and San Francisco receiver
ship added'to the disfavor of the foreign
markets for American securities. The al
Tentative plans for dissolution proposed
