 Now, the New York Central is already constructing, upon foundations cut out of solid rock, another hotel still farther east which will represent an investment of about $1O,OOO,0O0. Therefore, within a stones throw there will be when the new hotel is completed four hotels which rep- resent an investment of about $30, 0,0O0, GOO The great hotel which the New York Centra. is now constructing will be of benefit to the structural steel makers, for at least 1S,0l0 tons of structural steel will be used in this work.
 THE HOTEL AGE
 One who is of influence in the business world said this morning that the United States is just entering upon what may be called a magnificent hotel era and that the investment in enterprises of this kind all over the United States has al- ready involved many millions of dollars Business men who have recently visited the south have upon their return to New York spoken with enthusiasm of modern hotels which have been erected and are row in operation in many of the southern cities. The Pacific slope and the north west also illustrate this new hotel era. These modern structures have served greatly to stimulate local business &C., tivity. Capital has been found for the construction of chains of hotels, so to speak. For instance, Detroit Buffalo Cleveland, Syracuse, Utica, Springfield and Worcester, Mass, represent this modern tendency. In this city, another hotel little north of Times Square, is to be erected. if present plans are carried out, and the building of it will make necessary a demand for some 12,00O tons of structural steel. If this hotel be built it will be in the hotel family, so to speak of which the hotels of Buffalo, Cleveland and Detroit are members.

 The convention as a result will be staged in that condition, and under that environment which is peculiarly favor. able to the production, after futile bal loting for days, of 8 stampede.
