against the resolution. He opposed
it, not because of the indirect at
tacks upon him, but because he &C a.

animosity unnecessarily, he said.
The senate will not meet again un-

TIMBER GRADUALLY.
BECOMING CHEAPER
Priority Order Made on Rail-
roads to Send Coal Cars
to Chicago
DRY GOODS IN ABEYANCE

Chicago, Sept. 30.--The American
Lumberman says; Lumber prices have
declined slowly, and yet rather stead
lily, instead of being cut abruptly. The
law. OF supply and demand governs
lumber prices; the supply has been
slowly catching up on the demand. and
40 prices have slowly been decreasing,
although occasional increases are to be
noted, especially in some OF the grades
most in demand. such as fooring."
Some large western railroads observe a
slight increase In their lumber loading
this week.
T. J. McCreighton. the president,
made the following statement to the
sociation here: ANY improvements
Of standardizing the Industry Would
result in moderate price decline. We
are endeavoring to reduce the number
OF patterns in lumber molds by 80 per
cent. Cost Of operation will be less
from the simplicity that is introduced,
and In the long run the consumer will
benefit"
Coincident with the issuance of sub
poenas by the federal grand jury here
for officers of the Coal Teamsters'
Union, who called strike In South
Side coal yard, the Chicago Real Estate
BOARD obtained from the Public Utili-
ties Commission a priority order which
binds the railroads to furnish adequate
transportation from the mines to the
city, and compels them to unload coal
cars consigned to Chicago within TWEEN
ty four hours.
A leading dry goods trade authority
says: With spot cotton searching
out new low levels. the stability that
dry goods men hope for seems far
away. While all action on merchandise
for future delivery il held In allegiance
for the time being there Is good day
to- day aggregate. Efforts put forth
from time to time to bolster up the
market thus far have not produced
results. Some manufacturers gradually
reach the conclusion that the only way
to readjust is to readjust. Primary
markets evidently look for more favor
able prices. The slump in ginghams
and some other cotton goods has been
met with indifference. All eyes are on
the retail trade. which has been very
active until the last few days.
'Unseasonably warm weather less
ened the demand for fall goods, which
would ordinarily begin to move at this
period. 1t becomes more evident as
wholesale prices recede that retailers
are not playing their part in the read
justment program. Retail prices are
not being lowered in keeping with lower
costs, and this is likely to result in a
slowing down of retail trade"

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

There Is not likely to be any material
reduction in loaning rates for some time
yet, asserted officials of the larger bank
ing institutions yesterday. The revision
IN commodity prices Will have a helpful
influence toward quickening the process
OF credits, they stated. but IL will be also
some little time before any beneficial re-
suits in this connection will be. felt.
Money is still tight and. in all probabil :
ity, is going to stay tight the balance
or the current year. Persons enter
tanning contrary notion, according to
the testimony of banking officials, are
quito likely to find themselves unhappy
residents of fools paradise"
One of the more striking features OF
the situation at the moment Is the con =
tinued urgent inquiry for funds on the
part of the larger corporations. On the
other hand, the middle class, or medium
borrowing element, appears to be we'll
financed for the requirements Of the fall
and winter trade. The continued active
inquiry on the part of the larger con :
Germs Is generally attributed to the fact
that they are still carrying large inven :
tories at high prices. A great many Of
the larger manufacturing concerns are
apparently experiencing considerable
difficulty In working off these goods. The
whole situation. howveer, has been com =
pletely transformed from a sellers to a
buyers market.
A story was told yesterday in the
banking district Of the unhappy stu
alton of one Of the large New York cof-
fee houses. About year ago the concern
was paying tremendous bonuses to the
managers. and only last spring tore out
the brick front OF their building and
replaced it with white marble. To-day
the same house is virtually begging for
mercy at the hands of the banks They
are carrying Il slew Of coffee bought at
the top prices. which they have virtually
been unable to market.
Speaking of inventories. one of the
financial news bureaus yesterday pub
lishcd an unusually interesting state
mcnt concerning the position of the
large equipment companies, showing the
remarkable success of these concerns
IN reducing large inventories.
1t was figured the railroads, within
the next three years. would be in the
market for between 800 900 and 700. :
