fore the meeting first.
THE NEW RAILWAY.
MFR. Christian then offered the following
relating to the proposed electric railway on
Cary and Grace streets:
Whereas application has been made 10
the City Council for permission TO run an
electric railway on Grace and Cary streets;
and whereas there Is no public need for any
railway on either of said streets, and 10
allow the use of the same for any such pur-
posel would in the opinion of this Chamber,
innict serious injury, not only to the resi-
dents of said streets, respectively. but to me
property and business thereon: therefore,
be it
Resolved first. That it is the sense Of this
chamber that the right TO use Grace and
Cary streets for railway purposes ought not
to be granted by the Council.
Secondly, That committee Of three be
appointed by the Chair TO present the fore
going resolution TO the Council, and re-
specially ask that the application now
pending before il for the use of said streets
be rejected.
Upon the same letter from Mr.. +. G..

asking the endorsement of the Chamber to
the following petition:

conference.-the the undersigned, re-
| sIpctully ask that the proposition OF MI.
| W arner Moore ana associates 10 Dullu anu
operate IA railway along Cary street, he de-

second. The needs Of the city do not re-
qure any additional street-car facilities
from east 10 west. They are fully met by
the existing four lines Of railway, and any
additional lines would be detrimental
rather than benefit.
All Of which, We sumbit, are good rea-

The demand for leather, il is said in ac-

Messrs. Wingo, Elicit a. Crump, whole

about the increase Yesterday, and they
showed letters from leading manufacturers
in Boston, Dover, y. H., and other places

Mr.. MagnuS llessDefg, WhOlesdlt ucaici

been going up for some time. In the last
few months the rise has been from twelve

The shoe and Leather Reporter, OF Bos-
ton, which is considered an authority on
such matters, i'm its last issue said;
1.-The advanced prices are being assented
to by the majority Of buyers with little OBJ
lection. The notices served by manuiac-
turers on their customers that they cannot
accept further orders except at rates IN a
measure commensurate with the Increased
cost Of production, have been generally re-
ceiyed with acquiescence. There Is no
longer any chance OF lowering the price by
cheapening the quality. The most inferior
leather has advanced in greater proportion
than the best All manufacturers are busy
on contracts. Duplicate orders are prog
ably fully rs large rs they would have been

larger. The prospects are that lew sales
