It will have a height equivalent to four ordinary stories, there being three unusually high floors, together with a basement having an eighteen-foot ceiling. Its frontage will be seventy-five feet on Broadway by 115 feet on Sixth. Construction will be started simultaneously with that of its companion building across the street. TO COST MILLION.

Dennis, the architects who planned the structure, have recently made a number of changes In the plans to the end that the seven new stories may be used for offices Instead of for lofts, as originally Intended.

NEW YORK BUREAU OF THE TIMES. April 21. Following Friday's sharp deollne in prices, the' cotton market rallied today. It seemed that the declines earlier in the week had resulted in a stronger position and tha bulk of tha buying fwaa attributed to covering over the week-end. Shorts found nothing disturbing In the weather news or outlook, all of which pointed to continued Improvement In crop conditions, but the buying waa probably stimulated by reports that Southern spot holders were unwilling to fellow a further decline, and July contracts sold up to 19.49 compared with 13.93, the low level of Friday.

July closed at 10.30,. with tbe general list closing very steady at a net advance of 26 to 29 points. Weekly reviews of the crop read very encouragingly, and the outlook was generally clear weather over Sunday. Traders feel that the crop has probably made rapid progress during the last week, but, while the good weather and talk of Increased spot offerings has recently overshadowed bullish features, there Is still uncertainty as to the acreage, which would most likely be more In evidence should the weather turn unfavorable.

SOUTHARD, President (capitalist and late of The Standard Oil Co, Enid, Okla. ARTHUR STEVENSON, vice-president (president Central State Bank, Enid, Oklahoma.) HARRY E. SOUTHARD, seoretary. FRANK V. WRIGHT, treasurer (capitalist and president of the Lawton Drilling Co.

of Oklahoma.) The Company's lands are situated In Wegener county, Oklahoma, which consists of 320 acres and from 1000 to 2000 acres additional leases held on option In a district which today la the scene of some of the heavy oil producing operations In Oklahoma. The leases are on Sections 23, 24, 26, 34 and 35, northeast of the Townships of Coweta, and they ad Join the Stonebluff field, one of the largest In the State, which MADE FORTUNES FOR THE OPERATORS. There the leases consist of Indian leases of 40 acres each, approved by the Department of the I nterlor, and one commercial lease of 80 acres, and were secured over a year ago before the present oil boom boosted prices, In some cases a thousandfold. THE PROSPECTS OF STRIKING OIL ARE CONSIDERED JU8T AS 8URE ss In the Slsson drilling and with possibilities of PROFIT 100 TIMES GREATER, ths property has been reported upon by Mr. Charles M.

Gould (former State Government Geologist,) and he Is the man who made the discovery of this Wagener county anticline nearly 10 years ago. A pips line Is adjacent to the property, showing Immediate facilities for shipment without spending a lot of money for expensive tankage. THE WAGENER TERRITORY In question Is the SAME POLL FORMATION AS THE CUSHION snd ONE WELL on that property Is PRODUCING 1800 BARRELS PER DAY. ONE WELL OP 1000 BARRELS PER DAY would enable the Coweta Consolidated to PAY DIVIDENDS OF 80 PER CENT, per annum and there Is room for a similar well on the properties. Charles M.

Gould's report on the property, dated March 2nd, 1916, states: "In my Judgment, Oil and Gas may be expeoted In any wells drilled along this anticline, at least two sands may be expeoted, one of 500 to 600 feet, the other from 1200 to 1400 feet" He goes on to eay: "I suggest that the first well be drilled on Sections 26 or 27, T-18, R-16. East" ONE WELL HAS BEEN 8TARTED ON THE LOCATION ABOVE DESCRIBED OF THE COWETA CONSOLIDATED OIL COMPANY'S PROPERTY, AND THE RIGS AND TOOLS ARE ALREADY ON THE GROUND TO 8TART SINKING A SECOND WELL. Dont forget that Gould's report states OIL AND GAS IS ALMOST CERTAIN TO BE 8TRUCK ON THE COWETA CONSOLIDATED OIL COMPANY'8 PROPERTY, and the oil In this district Is now selling at $1.70 per barrel, with possibility of OIL SELLING WITHIN THE NEXT SIXTY DAYS AT 12.00. The company's properties are adjacent to the Gypsy common pipe line carrier, AND THE COMPANY'S PROPERTY IS CHECKERBOARD WITH THAT OWNED BY THE GYP8Y OIL COMPANY, each 40 scree practically alternating with that Company's leases.
