and closed at 6.92d6.SSc, with the tone of
the market steady.
The situation is very mixed one, and
traders are much troubled to form intelli-
gent opinions on the market. The war
clouds in the Levant whether they prove
serious or not, have certainly been the
leading factor in this weeks decline. The
uncertainty as TO whether war will result
or not is almost as disturbing in its ef-
fects on business as open hostilities would
be, while nearly every one holds the opin-
ION that some solution of the problem
other than an appeal to arms, will be
forthcoming, every one fears that his
opinion may be wrong. and curtails his
financial ventures, so as to be as well
prepared as possible for whatever may oc-
cur.
The movement of cotton has been far
IN the excess of the expectations of the
bulls, but the almost universal belief that
this has been due to the recent heavy
purchases by exporters and the mills in
the interior markets, and that it has left
the sources of supply almost bare of
cotton, have robbed this factor of much
of its natural effect upon the market.
There is little doubt that with the least
encouragement in the way of advancing
markets, the mills of the world would
again become active buyers, and, on its
merits, cotton looks cheap to us. There
are so many possible occurrences that
would affect even these low values ad-
versely, that we advise caution, but we
still think that those who buy upon good
breaks will soon find an opportunity to
realize at higher prices"
New York, March 6-The Sun says of
cotton; spot cotton here was unchanged
with sales of 392 bales for spinning The
political news from Europe was the domi-
nant factor in the speculation to-day. 1t
was rumored here that all Greeks liable
to military duty had been called home and
on this rumor local operators sold, depress-
ing cotton. Liverpool was higher both
for futures and spots, and Liverpool and
the south bought here, but the unfavorable
political news offset these usually bu,lsh
factors. Many here contend that in the
event of European war the result would
be beneficial to American industries. The
receipts at the ports this week are esti-
mated by New Orleans at S0,000 Local
estimates are 10000 to 1900 bales"

STREET sPRINKLING.

The city council has approved the
schemes adopted 10 utilized the street
car lines to sprinkle the streets. AS this
sprinkler is only applicable to the
streets used by the San Antonio street
car company, because of the different
gauge of the track it remains for
the city to provide for streets not used
by the San Antonio street car company
and some very important streets, where
cars do not run. In the proceedingsSof
the council yesterday, during the dis
cussion of this matter, the contract
with Mr.. Santleben for sprinkling was
read and Mayor Callaghan called at
tention to a discrepancy or strange
feature of the contract which was
made in '95 for one year, to expire in
80, but the figures had been changed
TO '97. The Elmendorf council knew
all about the Santleben contract when
they adopted the street car sprinkler,
so that there can be no conflict.
The truth is, sprinkling the streets
is as much police duty of the city
as sweeping and the removal of gar
bage. The only thing is, can we af-
ford the luxury to sprinkle a few
streets while the balance remain dus-
ty. The city should own, as it is able
to do so a well equipped sprinkling
outfit, as other cities have. The street
car companies who now enjoy valuable
franchises which have cost them moth
ing. should be required to keep their
tracks sprinkled and well lighted.
The large expense of this sprinkling
venture is made by the present city
council on the excuse that the other
city council did it. The only question
should have been can the city afford
it, if there is no money to pay off even
the back accounts of the former adj

A GREEN COUNCIL

Although in office over a month, the
present city council are as green az
cucumbers. It's only when Mayor
Callaghan is in the chair that they
feel that they are alive. 1t is evident
they have never read over the city
ateChism-charter- when a resO-
luton comes up making appropria-
tiOns they call for three several
readings and votes, the char
ter only requires, two-third
vote, out of II. Ordinances require
three several readings and a suspen-
sion of the rule to be passed at the
first meeting proposed. 1t won't do
for the city council to depend entirely
on Mayor Callaghan to do all their
thinking for them. Alderman Hicks
looks as sharp as a briar, and as pert
as young gal. but he don't study
his subject sufficiently; Duerler seems

There is suspicion of chaos about
this whole Cretan business. There is
not a single one of all the Powers that
actually knows it's own mind in the
premises. and Russia is the only one
that has any clearly defined idea of
what it would like to accomplish in the
outcome. There is so little truthful
ness about the average Turk or Cretan
that it is useless to put any depen-
dence in the word of either. Greece
is not much better off and the powers
have so long made lying a fine art
among themselves that if they wanted
to tell the truth it would puzzle them
how to go about it. Diplomacy is
only the are of lying set to national
music.
