other unsightly things, the whole surmounted

Christian Sonnensmith, at $50, declared
that even when the street was swept the dirt

another bright-eyed little girl, who were

END OF THE WHEAT FURRY.
Lower Prices and Dull Trading in
New York and Chicago Markets.

The wheat market both here and in Chicago
opened this morning with very little show OF
excitement. At Chicago the short interest
was reported to have covered, and the market
will now barely sustain large offerings OF
long wheat.
The early rates of December wheat there
were shade above yesterdays closing prices,
but before noon the market had slumped l u
cents, to sl.O2,
In New York the trading In options was
dull and without special feature. The mar
ket opened at a decline OF u to q OF cent
lower than last nights prices, with septem-
her wheat at sLl04 and December at
$1.121h
subsequently prices declined about l cent
all around, and at noon very little trading
was being done.
Instead OF the wild whOops which came
from the wheat pit yesterday only an occa-
sional peep" was heard and business was
nat.
Spectators are waiting for another batch
OF bull news before they renew operations.

"And look at the heaps that they have
made. There are old shoes that look as II
they had been out in the weather six months
There is tin can that has been kicking
around the streets six weeks.
"Under that cider wagon is an old basket,
part OF a wash-boiler, bottle or two and a
dozen other individual articles, besides the
plain road dirt
"That cider wagon was drawn up and left
there to-day. When the carts come they will
leave the whole heap though 1t is barely un-
der the edge of the back board.
"That collection under the big truck OPP
posite is different. The wagon has stood
there continuously for Ave or six months. 1t
is a Winter wagon, not In use now, and the
old shoes, bustles, broken baskets, teapot,
tin can and rotten vegetation under 1t have
been all that time accommodating. The
sweepers never touch them, nor will they II
they lie there till kingdom come"
But Citizen MilliOen reckoned without his
host. Somebody in the Street-Cleaning De-
partment had evidently seen the reporter
taking notes and the artist drawing sketches
OF the city's disgrace, for an hour later when
they returned TO the scene some one had been
there before them, and the On,nfu,n gdtherunl
under the big truck had been hoed out and
made into a nice little mound and two blue
carts were gathering up the mornings sweep
ings.
Ever and anon the cartmen would steal sly
glances over their shoulders at the two inof-
fensive citizens VINO lounged In doorway and
chatted quietly with Citizen Millloen, who
had come out at their call.
one after another the little mounds were
shOvelled into the blue carts, and Millioen de-
clared that he had never seen the work done
so thoroughly before, though the site OF every
mound was marked after the shoveller had
left 1t by fragments OF paper, bits OF melon,
decayed fruit,a tin can or some other nolsome
thing.
Right before the three citizens one OF the
cartmen dropped a big, nasty bone of his
shovel. 1t fell upon the curbstone, and each
time the man stopped TO gather a fresh
shovelful his nose came within smelling dis
tance OF the spelling joint. But he left 1t
finally to adorn the curbing till another visit
OF the cleaners.
The blue carts even got the old basket, the
broken wash boiler, the bursted demiJohn,
the old shoes and what not under the red
cider wagon-an unheard OF thing in street.

And. with parting glare at the newspaper
men over their shoulders, the carriers drove of
down First avenue.
Then fresh survey OF the block was taken
and the artist made the truthful picture
the freshly cleaned CO street.

UNDER CART ON TwESTY-sEvBSTH STREET.
" Their first visit since came to this Office
seven months ago, think. 1t Is disgrace
full the way that street has been neglected.
We have 300 men In our employ. There is
the Manhattan Brass Works across the
street, and next door TO us is John Matthewss
soda.water works, while beyond to the west
are tall, thickly populated tenement-houses.
It's wonder everybody isn't Sick"
Twenty-seventh street runs down to Belle
Vue Hospital, that ante-rOom to death for so
many OF the more squalid classes OF New York's
poor, and 1t would seem as If 1t might re-
mind the Department that doesn't clean the
streets that there ought to be reform in
departmental methods.
Yes; Twenty-seventh street had been
swept. There was no gainsaying that, for
here and there along the street were fresh
mounds OF dirt and refuse OF all kinds.
But there were other piles, too. Piles not
made with hands. Accommodations OF weeks
OF neglect We're there under the big trucks Of
the Matthews Company, and Henry f. Kege-
Ter, who lives at 32s and owns the big nve-
story double tenement at $50, said:
"They pretend to clean the street some
times, but they never come oftener than once
aweck, and then they do 1t as you see. Those
Dig wagons stand in the street when not IN
use, and the street cleaners never bend their
packs TO sweep under the trucks.
"You see, there are things under those
wagons which haye been there for months.
1t Is disgraceful II is an outrage. 1t makes
1t livery difficult to rent property. Nobody
wants TO live on filthy street. We are poor
iolEs over here. II we were rich they would
come and keep the street in order, suppose"
An EVENING WORLD artist has made careful
and truthful sketches OF two or three OF these
wagons and the unsightly mounds OF debris
they hid.
But, aside from the dirt left under the
wagons, the sweepeTs had utterly neglected
large areas of pavement In the very middle OF
the street.

Now, there's heap OF pure, plain, nasty dirt
by the gutter in front of No. 3ls. French has
q soda water place there, and his horse some
times stands out in front.
THAT little mound was made there by the
sweepers as much as four weeks ago, so you
can see how long 1t is since they really
cleaned this street."
Charles Millioen, Janitor OF the twenty fats
at No 32O, corroborated this, and added, with
hot indignatlon
commissioner Beattie asks for s2,45O, 900
for street cleaning next year 1t would be
only robbing the taxpayers. 1t is shameful
the way this street is allowed to go.
"Tney sometimes sweep up the dirt in
heaps, but they don't take 1t away, and It is
left TO scatter again.
"When they do take 1t away they leave
more than they take. You see, they have
swept the street this very day, but there is
still enough loose dirt OF every kind scattered
in the road to be disgrace TO any city
street.
