was dull to-day with slight fluctuations as a
rule, and the final changes, while generally in
the direction of lower prices, are slight in all
the railroad stocks. The opening was made at
small fractions better than last nights figures,
and, while the traders were inclined to discount
an unfavorable bank statement. causing slight
losses in the early trading. the general temper
soon became strong. and fractional advances
were scored, with Union Pacific, Burlington
and the Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks most
prominent for strength. The demand was not
ever, and the sales OF the traders on a dull
market again developed the downward ten
dency, which, however, made but little progress
until after the publication of the bank state
ment. There was then more positive selling
movement. and the final dealings were marked
by more activity and very weak tone.
Sugar Reineries was the only really weak
point in the market some heavy selling being
done for Boston account, and it scored q
material decline before the close of business.
A few stocks like Union Pacific and one or two
others were we'll held, but the majority of the
railroad list were brought under the opening
figures, the close being active and weak at the
lowest prices reached. The only important
loss was Sugar 11s per cent:

Figures-Pork Steady.
CHIcAGO-Wheat-The Government report
on which the longs had so much faith to assist
in advancing the market was rather favorable
to the shorts, at least was SO construed, and
the market ruled weaker and lower with the
feeling considerably unsettled. The Market
opened 14@l11c lower than yesterdays CLOSING
figures, then rallied about &c. but again pe-
came weak, prices declining 215c, advancea el
a trifie, ruled irregular. and closed about z1sW
There was a heavy pressure to sell, but at
the same time demand was active, which
tended to hold the market for some time. put
later under continued heavy offerings prices
further declined FROM the opening ngures;
Trading was active, and there were goou
many outside buying orders received.
Corn-The Government crop report was
great disappointment TO the longs in corn, and
at the opening there was a general scramnie 70
unload. Lower prices were the rule on all Iu-
lures, May in particular, most OF the business
being IN this month. The bulk of the trading
occurred during the first hour, the marKet
opening with loss of 11s@l5ac, and quickly
sold off another Nc, rallied. advancing &c. and
again became weak with decline of ls4@2c.
Oats-There was moderate volume OF Dnsi-
ness in May but nothing of consequence in the
other months. The Government crop report
was regarded as bullish. The weakness In wheat
and corn and fair offerings produced weaker
feeling. and opening sales were at 15@ssc de-
cline. A rally of nc followed the depression,
but it did not hold and prices receded to open
ing figures, but the market closed steadier.
Mess pork-A fair trading was reported.
Opening sales were made at 15c decline, but
temporary advance of sc was gained. Later

More About Chief EIiicts Remarks at That
Award Meeting.

Award Meeting.
The remarks of Chief Elliot, at the meeting
of the Department of Awards have been made
the subject of discussion very generally ever
since. City Treasurer Major Joseph F. Dennis
ton said: 81 know nothing about the matter
beyond the fact that my chief clerk wrote the
letter in question to the Department of
Awards, and l certainly indorse his recon-
mendations Here are some of the books
furnished last year. and you can see dozens Of
pages loose through faulty binding. You can
also see that the quality of the paper is
much poorer than that we are now using. We
are i'll the habit in the Treasurer's office Of
sending in specifications to the Finance Com
mittee. showing the style of printing and rul-
ing necessary. as well as the quality of paper
required For these things we have to consult
experts in the various departments, and al
though the recommendations i'll this respect
have been hitherto respectfully treated have
no fault to find with the action of the depart
ment In filing the recommendation of my
Office"
Charles F. Peck the printer, who is alluded
TO rather unfavorably in the letter attributed
to and acknowledged by the City Treasurer.
says:
"Our house has been doing city work for four
years. In 1888 we were given the contract for the
tax books. We finished them three weeks be-
fore they were needed. and Treasurer Dennis
ston, Chief Clerk Torrance and II. h. Ben
cough, then one of the clerks, expressed the
greatest satisfaction with them. In 1889 we did
not have the contract. l was present when the
books were received, and the talk about their
poor quality and workmanship was not Sab
thschool talk. am told that the Controller
was asked to withhold the warrant for these
books. but refused unless the books were re-
jected As they were not in until the last day
this could not be done. Remember, these were
not our books. have been on good terms with
everybody around the hall, and can't imagine
why this was done or why these newspaper arti-
Giles were published. My work is in the hail.
am perfectly willing that it shall be tested and
