New York, May 29-The stock mar
Eet opened comparatively firm and
leading shares made fractional adj
yanceS on the final quotations of Saturday,
while Consolidated Gas jumped points, but
the bears soon started ON another raid to
catch stop orders, and in a short time some
stocks scored material losses. General Elec-
tlle was the principal sufferer, declining from
G7'2 to 6l4 on large sales. Distillers about
lle same time broke 2B per cent. TO 10. Read
lng was subsequently pressed for sale and
fell points to 1875. This, together with a
crop of ] to per cent in the bonds, added to
the weakness of the general market and dur
ing the afternoon Chicago Gas, Lackawanna,
Louisville and Nashville and Western Union
Jersey. Central dropped 80 per cent to
lOth. The heavy pressure to sell the Readings
was due to the disappointment felt concerning
the readlustment, more particularly the tying
up OF the stock in a voting trust for a series
OF years. Rumors of probable heavy gold
shipments by Thursdays steamers aided the
Decline in the general list. II was noticeable,
however, that the efforts of the bears in the
cases of Rock Island, St. Paul, New England,
missouri Pacific, Burlington and Quincy

pardUVely little success. Near the close Cen

To the Editor OF The Evening star:
You struck the key note in Saturdays STAR
where you editorially said there is no reason
why the handsomely surfaced highways Of
which this city is proud should be smeared
by dirt-laden contractors carts. The street
sweeping and cleaning department has been
blamed and abused for the uncleanliness of
many OF these thoroughfares when the neglect
was and is chaIgeable to the police department.
/ know that Maj. Davis superintendent OF that
department., has time and again officially
called the attention OF the police department
to this condition of affairs, and asked it to en-
force the remedy placed in its hands by the
Commissioners, and vet the nuisance is not
abated, but is alarmngly the increase
throughout the city. No matter how careful
and painstaking the cup rinteudent Of street
sweeping may be with the small appropriation
at his command he cannot keep these places
clean if the police department permits not only
contractors carts to thus smear and stain them
with their droppings, which are ground into
pavements. but when they allow many business
streets to be Uttered up by old papers and
other refuse swept into them from stores and
shops. If members Of the police department
would devote more time to watching these
things and make more arrests for clear VIOLA
tions of police regulations our streets would at
all times be in better condition. l don't be-
lieve there is any necessity for police surveil-
lance of the street sweeping department, but
do believe tina: the evil YOU are first to make
public mention of should be remedied by the
police department. JUSTICE.

ALEXANDRIA COUNTY.
Good Prospects for New Railroads Through
the County This Summer.

Good Prospects for New Railroads Through
the County This Summer.
Several surveys have been made and COM
pleted through the county from points oppo-
site Washington city toward Falls Church and
Alexandria city preparatory to constructing
electric railroads, and what seems more en-
couraging to Alexandria county than anything
that has happened for some time is the fact
that New York capitalists have expressed their
willingness to loan money for railroad building
through the county. 1t is understood that ad.
vantage will be taken of this offer and one OF
two electric roads built through the county
this summer. A proposition for them TO fur
nish money to construct q railroad bridge
across the Potomac above the Aqueduct bridge
is now being considered.
The public roads Of the county are now being
improved and leveled up. and the driving is
very fine. At the beginning of the next fiscal
year n system of mGcadanized roads will be in
augurased throughout the county on all it's
principal roads.
Mr.. James E. Clements, rs agent for Mr..
Frank d. Queen. has sold to Mr.. Chaplin Brown
Of Washington city sixty-four acres Of land and
household near Linconia, in Fairfax county,
