CITY WILL ASK
FORP[ANSFOR
THE NEW HALL
ADVERTISE FOR PLANS FOR NEW
CONVENTION HALL AUTHoRI-
zEo AT MEETING OF coMMIs.
sIoNERs LAST NIGHT.

At the meeting of the board of city
commissioners last night a resolution
was passed asking for bids for furn-
ishing plans for the new convention
hall to be erected at the corner of
Broadway and streets and to cost
complete exclusive of the lot. $50. .OOO
The money from the sale of the
bonds is now available, but the bids
have to be advertised for thirty
days, the plans will be submitted 70
the city commissioners and to the
Joint committee from the two com.
mercial organizations for their ap-
proval after which bids for the
erection of the building will be called
for and work will begin.
The convention hall will be one of
the most ccmmodious in the state,
II is ideally located and will be an
ornament to the city. With the erec-
tion of the convention hall and the !
new hotel Ardmore will be in posi-. |
tion TO ask for conventions and other
large gatherings. and then. too. the
lyceum bureau will be able to furn-
ish high class attractions at popular
prices because there will be a place
large enough to accommodate the
,rowds that will make them a finan-
,ial success
The idea of combining the con-
'ention hall with the city hall has
'een practically abandoned, the con- 1
ention hall will be separate from
ny other institution and be what
was intended for when the bonds
'ere voted, a place for the assemb. ,
Ing of large bodies free from any
ther hall or institution whatever.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE COTTON MARKET

New Orleans November 5-Much quiet CT markets and narrower fluctuations than have been seen for sometime past featured the trading In cotton last week. The general tendency was to even up and this led to much liquidation of long contracts and the selling out exerted pres sure on the price, especially around the first of the week. Toward the end, some short covering appeared md helped give the market a steady tone. The net re- suits of the weeks business were rise of 10 to 14 points, the smallest price change In weeks
 Liquidation on the long side was chiefly due to fear of an overbought market and to rumors that leading interests had sold out their long contracts Liquidation was also stimulated late in the week by the nearness of the presidential election and by the pending report on ginning Shorts covered principally because of predic- tions of rise on the ginning returns. This week the opening season will prob ably be tame because Tuesday is a holi- day and because of uncertainty over the results of the election. Opinion seems to be that the ginning report of Wednesday will be bullish, expectations ranging from about S,5000O0 to 9000, 600 bales, as the total turned out to October 31. Should the smaller figure be realized it is likely a buying wave of consequence will de- ve1op because 1t would be accepted as confirmation of small crop estimates such as are now entertained only by extremists on the bull side. Anything over 5000, 900 bales would probably cause a decline.
 The general idea seems to be that after Wednesday spot accounts will be the chief influence.
