May contracts rose to 30.43c, or $3.50 a bale above 'tlie closing price of Monday, and practically a cent a pound i above the low level of last week. The close ahowed gains throughout the list of 57 to 64 points, linal trades in May being at 30.36c.

A good deal of thc buying by trade interests came from houses with Southern mill connections, and gested "that manufacturera were buying hedges against the raw material re I quircd to iill recent government i orders for goods. There was also mill buying to lix prices 011 call cotton. The presence of this demand, combined with the continued absence of spot pressure and the failure of Texas rain advices to bring in fresh ppeculative I selling, appeared to alarm old shoris. 1 Stop-orders were uncovered on the ad vance, and while selling for profits was more active during the last few min utes, trade demand continued in evi dence right up to the close. No change was reported in thc ex I port situation.

Exports for the day I were 9,429 bales, making 2,625,332 so I far this season, against 3,974,155 last i year. Southern spot markets as offi 1 cially reported were unchanged to 70 i points higher. Yes'day's Previous Year close. close. ago." Cash.

Cunard Line Will Build Skyscraper At Bowling Green Home of Aaron Burr, Stevens House and Other Landmarks Bought Xo. Morris Street, once the home of Aaron Burr, the old Stevens House and other landmarks in the Bowiing Green arca, bounded by Broadway, Grcenwich and Morris Streets, have passed into the hands of the Cunard Line, and Thomas Ashley Sparks, agent of the steamship company here, announced yesterday that plans were being made to erect a skyscraper which will cost between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000. The plans have not yet passed the preliminary drawing stage, and con struction work probably will not begin until early next ycar, but when the building is completed the Cunard company will be the first of the great international lines to own its own home in New York. The building will stand directly op posile the Standard Oil Building and diagonally across from the Custom House. The deal, said to be the largest in downtown real estate since Colonel T.

Coleman du I'cnt bought the Equitable for the office building in i the world, affords the steamship com pany a frontage of feet on Broad i way. The properties were purchased from the heirs of W. Mairs, a wall paper manufacturer, who owned the Broad way frontage; the Manhattan Railway Company, which controllcd the Green wich Street frontage, and the heirs of T. Brennan, who owned the Mor? ris Street plots. The combined pur I chases give a ground area of 48,400 feet.

Henry C. Irons and John R. Todd, of i irons Todd, made the purchase and will erect the building, each floor of 1 which will have an area of about 45,000 square feet. On completion the structure will be turned over to the 25 Broadway Cor? poration, to be orgnr.i/.ed by Mr. Sparks and other Cunard officials, as a holding concern.

Title to the prop erty will be passed probably to-day to i the corporation. Preliminary sketches for the build ing are being made by Benjamin W. I Morris. Carere Hastings are the consulting architects. The Cunard Line 1 is to oeeupy the basement and first I and second floors.

The Stevens House was built in 1804, i and seventy-five years ago housed Pel monico's. It was bought by Mr. Mairs in 1891. Upon its roof still stand two lions east by the Saracen Iron Works, i of Glasgow, Scotland, for the British Consulate, which once occupied it.

Cooper, I desirc to rtiterate all that I said to you in rela tion to him. He was born and rearcd in Georgia on a farm where he remaiued er.gaged in agricultural purauits until he attained the age of twenty-one. He then went Athens, where he lived for ten years or more. Whilo there he built and operatcd an oil mill i most successfully. He became one of the prominent business men of that community until hc sold out his busi ness.

Busy Career in Atlanta He thon removed to the city of At lanta, where he purchased one of tho most beautiful and valuable homos on Peachtree Street. the aristocratic resi dential street in that city. While there I he engaged in trading in oil mills and other industrial properties. During his career he bought and sold oil mills at Si ndersville and other points in Geor and Alabama, and thereafter bought a large cotton oil retinery and corn pcund plant in tbe City of Washington, LI. and after operating this for a year and a half sold it for a large profit "Like all gentlemen engaged in busi? ness enterprises, he has had his uns and downs.

He has made money and lost money, but from a very thorough in vestigation ot and a long and intimate acquaintance with Mr. Cooper I am un able to find any evidenre or trace of any crooked or unfair dealings during the entire period of his activities." 1 Washington Sees No Need for New Exchange WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. Department of Agriculture authorities expressed doubt to-night at what was termed "the economical justitication for an additional exchange in New York I City," when told of the proposed open ing of the American Cotton and Grain Exchange there. "It seema to me this war period scarcely is a time for the establish ment of additional exchangos in farm products," C.

J. Brand. Director of Markets, said. "The New York Cotton Exchange is now operated under Fed I eral control, and it has succeeded in doing away with unduc speculation in futures, and as far as an exchanpe for jrrain is concerned, New York City is hardly the field for such an cstab lishment. "The promoters of the new exchange were in Washington in August or Sep tember last, conferring with tbe de partment on the matter, hr.t no de cision warf reached, and, as I recall it, department offieials expressed doubt then as to the advisability of open ing a new exchange.

promoters then only contemplated cotton 1 can see no economical justification for the openinp of another exchange in New York City at this time." Hays to Give Banquet Chairman Will 11.
