two wings 4Ox35 feet and 4Ox49 feet, re-
spectively.
The first story will be used for the wind
ing machinery, engines, boilers, etc. The
right wing will be the boiler house, and two
batteries of four tubular boilers each will
furn ish the power for the 5OO-horse power
engines. The stack will be unusually high,
looming up 116 feet in the air.
The second story will be used for store
rooms. The trestle work of the roof will be
of iron and the roof of slate. The whole
will combine strength, adaptability and
beauty where it does not cause extra ex-
pense or conflict with the former requisite.
The probable cost of the building will be
about $50, 900. 1t will be pushed to compile
tion in time for use when it is needed.
The work on the road is progressing rapid
ly, and as it is out OF sight of the stay-down-
town citizen, the majority of people hardly
realize what has been already done. One
track on Wylie avenue is pretty well COM
pleted, and soon work will commence down
Sixth avenue, Wood street and the return
loop by way Of Fourth avenue and Grant
street. The company would like to extend
the road to the Exposition buildings, so it is
understood, but SO far no change has been
made in the original route decided on.

The Oil Market Shows What 10 Can Do
When IL Tries.
The oil market yesterday was strong at the
opening. but eased off during the day and
closed at a decline. There was some scarcity
of the commodity, loans being made early at
25 cents and later at so. This had considerable
influence in sustaining prices. Trading was of
moderate proportions.
The market opened at S41s, but was soon
hammered down to S3M. from which point it
rallied and sold up to S4ss. the best figure of
the day. The bears then made raid and sue
ceeded in reducing the quotation to S35S, but
they couldn't bold it down, and the next move
was to 81 After this the market lost some of
its grip and receded to S35s, recovering slight
ly, and closing at S35z, with prospect of sell
ing lower tomorrow.

CINCINNATI. May 25.-The Police Com

police lieutenants to arrest all violators Of
the Sunday law tomorrow. They were also

to-day, when asked what he proposed to do
tomorrow if his players were arrested, as
proposed by the orders given to the police

A FLAT FAILURE,
Stock Brokers Allow Saturday 70 Pass
Without Regular Sale.

Without Regular Sale.
The stock market was SO dull yesterday that
Captain Barbour was unable, with all of his
eloquent persuasion, to induce the brokers to
come up to the scratch, and the result was
goose egg-not o single sale being effected.
There was too great difference between buyers
and sellers to be bridged over The entire list
was firm and some of the favorites were frac-
tionally higher. There was good demand for
bank stocks and other gilt-edged investment
securities. Taken altogether it was one of the
dullest weeks IN the history of the exchange,
both on the floor and in the offices.
While there was nothing to afford an indica-
ton of the course OF the market this week, the
probability is that there will be a change of
some kind, but whether for better or worse is
extremely uncertain, as all signs fail in dry
weather. After call 100 shares Electric sold at

NEW YORK, May 25.-The stock market was
again very active this morning. and it devel-
oped the same strong tone which has character
ized it during the past few days, and prices at
the close were the highest for the week. The
extreme doubt as to the length to which the
reaction begun yesterday would extend made
the opening this morning quite ragged, though
the only marked changes from last evenings
figures were declines. The market hesitated
for short time under the continuance of the
realizations but the buying was of the same
excellent character that has prevailed of late,
and the temporary weakness In few shares
The animation in the market was not SO
marked during the prevalence of the hesita-
tion, but later the activity became very great,
and with the Grangers in the lead everything
moved up materially. In the regular list Bur-
lington, Rock Island and Atchison, and, later,
Northwestern, were most prominent for
strength, and all of them advanced over per
cent though portion of the improvement in
Atchison was lost before the close The trust
stocks were also again very prominent in the
trading and the Lead Trust took the lead. fol-
lowed by Cotton Oil, the latter touching 5S1S-
A silent reaction was made toward IL o'clock,
but the upward movement was quickly re-
sumed and continued without further setback
until the close, which was active and strong at
the highest prices of the day. st. Paul led the
list in point of activity, but its final gain was
fraction only. The final changes are almost in
variably in the direction OF higher figures.
