The week is too young to furnish any new
developments in trade. Prices start much as
they closed on Saturday. All kinds of vegeta-

have been coming in the past few days in a
demoralzed condition, owing to continuous
rains and delay of trains. New cabbage is a

light receipts, but abundant supply is expected
for the balance OF the week.

Moderate Business,
The oil market was firm yesterday, and trad
ing was of fair proportions, considering that it
was entirely professional. 1t opened at SSss, Is
under Saturdays closing. In short time, un-
der the influence of free offers, it dropped to
SS, at which price McKelvy bought $1,000 bar
rels. The market hung around these figures
until late in the afternoon, when it advanced to
81, the highest point of the day. 1t then weak
ened and closed at 8ST-H better than the
opening-with indications of about the same
range Of prices to-day. Saturdays clearings
were 240O 900 barrels.

Major Moore's annual report as superintend-
emit Of police, printed in yesterdays STAR,
shows clearly the need Of an increase of the
general force, of the number of mounted police
for suburban duty, and of the number of
station houses and reiterates the annual de-
monstration of the injustice and absurdity of
the provision of law that requires District
policemen to be appointed from persons who
have served in and receiyed an honorable dis
charge from the army or navy of the United
States. The veterans of the war whom it ia
sought to favor should be rewarded with PEN
sions, and not by appointment to the laborious
and at times dangerous duties Of policemen in
large city, which they are totally untitled to
perform Under Major Moore's capable man
agement the police force has won credit for eff
cheney, but the drawbacks of inadequate num-
bers and provision of law which limits ap-
Pointments to small class, not supplying
proper material, ought to be removed by Con-
gress.

The seizure Of the telephone system in
France by the postal authorities has already
borne fruit In forty per cent reduction of the
annual rental, and drop of one-half in the
charge for using the instrument at pay stations.
1t was the rapacity of the private owners which
caused the transfer to the government. There
are corporations in this country, enjoying char
ter privileges granted on the theory that they
are ministering to the public comfort at the
lowest practicable rate of compensation, who
might take profitable warning from happen
ings across the sea.

All the indications are to the effect that
Washington will accommodate comfortably
and with complete absence Of extortion the
tens OF thousands Of visitors at the conclaye Of
knights Templar next month, and have.room
to spare. There is no city in the world NOR
Hospitality flexible in ability to stretch availa-
bic house room for the accommodation of
guests. The fact that it has grown to be a
convention city and is called upon every four
years to handle the enormous crowd which
assemblies to witness an inauguration has de-
veloped its capacity as an entertainer. The
larger cities Of the republic, some Of them
apparently much better equipped with hotels
than the capital, really have less room for
guests after the regular hotel customers
have been supplied Indeed the hotels
Of some of the largest of our cities are
regularly overcrowded without any especial
strain upon them through the presence of
q visiting multitude, and they have not the
facilities Of Washington for utilizing private
houses. Whether Inauguration guests, Knights
Templar, or visitors at the Exposition of 1892
are to be housed and fed, the capital will
prove equal to the emergency.
