IMPROVE THE STREETS.

1t is to be hoped that the new Board
OF Aldermen will take active and i'm
mediate steps TOWARD the improve
ment OF the streets. Our lpuldy streets
and shabby sidewalks are a disgrace
to any toun, to say nothing about a
city. AT the rate in which improve
ments have been made it will take
something like twenty years to give
main street adecent look. If the new
Board accompishes anything in this
direction it will have to proceed on a
different plan from that followed by
former Boards. 1t will have ia issue
bonds, and make contracts with work
men to improve the streets. The an
nual tax is by no means sufficient to
put the street in good condition. We
have high hopes that the new Board
will be aliveand active in this matter.

The prospect for the wheat crop is
not very encouraging. The over pro-
duction last year and the consequent
low price OF wheat has led the farmers
to sow comparatively small amount.
The weather in this part ofthe county
has been very unfavorable and it is
probable that but half a crop will be
harvested. The demand for wheat in
foreign countries is continually in
creasing. It is very probable that the
price of wheat will rise good deal

The industrial exhibition at Willard
Hall closed last night with a concert
given by the Selika Quartette. In the
morning tho Mission and Washington
Schools of Cookery removed their cult
nary department from tho hall. Tho
tables OF the Metropolitan Industrial
School and LoveiOy Industrial School
were left alone. The latter was formed
by tho teachers in tho Lovejoy public
school building, and is scarcely two
months old. The specimens Of needle
and other handiwork which they had on
exhibition were most creditable, showing
that they have material from which they
will hereafter receive most excellent re-
suits.
The concert in the evening was we'll
patronized, aud many of the audience
were surprised at the fine singing to
which they were treated. The quartotte,
composed Of Mrs. Sarah G. Waring, Miss
Mary Evans, Miss Manic Nichols, and
Mrs. J. Steuart Ball, sang "Brier Rose"
soldiers Farewell" "Old Folks at

members treated the audience to some
fine solo music. They have excellent
voices, which have evidently boon we'll

NEW YORK, April 9.--The stock mar
ket opened strong and excited this morn
ing on the European war news, and In
the early dealings there was rush by
the shorts TO cover. First prices were
generally from J 10 1 per cent. higher
than tho closing quotations last evening.
aud further gain Of I to per cent. was
made during the first half hour. This
was followed by slight reaction and
some hesitation. the Vandorbilts and Pa
citic Mail showing the greatest weakness,
while the Changers remained strong.
The street was very much puzzled over
the somewhat conflicting reports from
London, which showed that the British
and Russian oonsols were very weak,
while the governors Of the Bank Of Eng.
land, who met to-day, failed to
mako any change in tho rate of
discount 81 por cont.).. IL was claimed
that If the situation was in fact serious
one OF tho first acts of the governors
would DO TO increase the discount sale,
but against this was tho admitted fact of
the heavy decline in British government
securities, with an advance at the Same
time Of the better class of American &C.
curities. The only potent influence
throughout the day on tho market was
the news that was received from Europe
regarding the prospects of war. and as
| this news continued to indicate the prob
abilities that declaration of war was
inevitable prices rallied soon after mid
day. and continued strong, with active
trading in some Of tho leading stocks.
! Tho total sales for tho day were 337, AL
shares, an increase over yesterday Of
| 1900 shares.
Not q single stock on the active list
shows decline. Late in the afternoon
there were rumors that the Bank of Eng
land had changed the rate Of discount,
aud also that u formal declaration of war
between England and Russia had been
made, but these rumors were not con-
hrmed. Tho argument of tho street Is
that declaration of war will cut oil
grain, petroleum., and other supplies
from Russian ports, which must there.
after be obtained largely from this coun.
try; and that conservative investors will
also seek tho better class of American so.
curitics in preference to those Of coun.
try engaged in war.
