g. Co. say:
Futures-Despite the encouraging
Manchester advices which are almost
a limit in the statement that trade
conditions are improving daily and the
advance in spots of 1.1G, with sales of
1000, Liverpool after opening 1-64
above yesterday lost this Improvement
and closed "a below last nights fig
ures, Silver surprise general expec-
tations by an advance of Ia. Our mar
ket opened rather steady in face of the
disappointing nature OF Liverpool at
last nights prices but the unloading
of longs caused q decline of & points,
from which, however, there was some
recovery and the end of the days rec
ords a decline Of only 2 or points.
For tomorrow, the eud OF the month,
New Orleans expects 1000 against 5000
last year, and receipts at ports today
foot up 1900 against $4,000 a year ago
The amount brought into sight for the
week shows loss of 5000 bales as COM
pared with last year, including the adj
dition of correction in the interior
town stocks of 5000 bales.
A favorable feature Of the
statement is the large overland move.
ment of $4,000 against 1900, showing
plainly that the Northern sppinners
are inclined to lay in a surplus stock
at the present level of prices. Spots
here continue in good demand at firm
prices, total sales today being 5000
bales.

pared with the past two years, the de-
crease from the seven days ending
March 80, last year, being 5733, and
from the same day year before last
14,0G2. These differences, however,
are after allowing 5040 plus stock cor
rections at interior towns, without
which the actual weeks movement
was ,773 behind last season and 10,
102 behind the same time in 1902.
For the thirty days of March that

sive, 1858 bales over the same 2ll
paws of lost season, and the deficiency

before last, !, 520, 1868 bales. The tota
brought into sight during the past
seven days, including corrections, has
been jO,9OS against 81, $50 bales last
year and 6I, 96S bales the year before

THIRD CHANCE.

IN constructing the drydock at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard to I've up to the terms Of his contract, the
Secretary of Navy this afternoon decided to give
the contractor another chaEce-the thrd-to com
plete the dock This decision creates some surprise
to use no stronger term-n naval circles in view
of the fact that the ability of the contractor TO finish
the work is than questioned. and people are
beginning ask themselves whether behind this
whole business does not lie concealed political job
The contract for the construction OF the drydock
was awarded by Secretary Tracy. the law compel
ling him to accept the lowest bid without exercise
of discretion on his part Of any kind. The lowest
bidder proved TO one James Gies. who Is under
stood to have had experience whatever In this
kind of work. and whose bid in the neighbor-
a specified time. but before the date mentioned in
the contract mad arrived the Navy Department
found itself compelled to extend the time limit
give up the hope OF having the dock completed with
in any reasonable period without entering upon
vexatious and expensive lltigat ion. Secretary Her
bert had in the meantime succeeded General Tracy
in the administration of the Navy Department and
before any was fairly aware OF the fact
extension granted to the contractor. which viii
expire in September next. y report recently made
cusively that Mr.. Glllies is not likely be able 10
finish the work. but nevertheless the Secretary
granted him to-day and the OF his departure
for the Pacific Coast what is virtually third
tension. 1t is remarked In this connection that
James Gllies is a stanch Democrat; that he has
a pull Of generous dimensions. and that more
over he Is the father-in-law of Congressman Mag
ner of Brooklyn.
