w. b. Taylor is Now on Trial For an
Old Crime.
w. B. Taylor, charged with the muir

ATTORNEY MINORS OPINION.

City Attorney Minor this morning
submitted to the sewer committee his
opinion as to the correctness Of the
claim of the Greenville company for
an Offset on their use of overtime in
completing the sewers by the action of
the council in 1896 in arranging with
the street car company for the opening
of only one street at a time for sewer
work.
The city's counsel holds with Mayor
Callaghan that the city council has
no right to be generous with the city's
property and contract rights such as
this; nevertheless the council is not
bountd to insist on claim the
courts would not allow. The sub
stance is that both parties can come to
an amicable agreement, If. the contrac-
tors will specify the days lost by che
injunction stoppage.

Cotte D Letter

New York, April 15.-As en example of waiting market the trading this week has been perfect Prices crawled a few points upward owing to the good busi- ness in spot cotton, but the sellers out numbered the buyers at the advance and most of the trif1ing gain was lost The net change for the week Is unimportant. Ante-holiday markets usually show some life. owing to the desire of operators to even up tra nSactions. but today was notable exception to this rule. The early Liverpool cables reported unchanged prices there. Our market opened at slight decline. Later in the day Liver pool gave way, but this did not have much effect on prices here. Orders were very scarce and the market was terribly dull all day. May opened at TIP and saggod off until the close, which was barely steady. with May at 7.0S to 709. Little attention has been paid during the week either to the Mississippi floods, the conditions of which are no better or to the Gfeece-Turkish situation which can- not be said to be worse. It is long we think, since the market has rested upon a more even keel The short interest is trivial and the long interest Is not great With the continued dullness sentiment here grows more bearish in spite of the strong statistical position. The most prominent operators here believe in lower prices, and they rely upon better reports from the south, which will surely follow improved wea ther there, to bring the break about. We cannot share these views. It seems to us that the strong position of cotton must tell in the long run. The demand from spinners is good now and we believe that before the end of the season they will be scrambling for their wants at higher prices. Gen eral business Is slowly improving, and in the face of these factors we do not see the wisdom of selling cotton short rely ing for profit upon a crop that is not yet fully planted. The general speculative public refuses to demonstrate belief in higher prices by buying cotton, and we expect the stern law of supply and de- mand to cause he advance. The New York and New orleans exchanges do not open again until Monday and the Liver pool market will be closed until Wednes- day next.

New York. April 15.-Proceedings were ra ther dull on the stock exchange today and values dropped almost without ces- sation. The fact that there will be no more trading on the London exchange until next Tuesday probably restricted any demand and influenced the minds of the timid ones there to realize profits IS much as possible and to unload any hold ings that seemed in danger from possible developments in the Greco-Turkc rela- tions. Consols were down in London, and there was uneasiness apparent over the seeming waning of the accord of the powers in the eastern question. Londo n market also suffered from the demor- alizatiou in the Kaffir securities and whispers of financial difficulties of a large operator in thise properties. The depression. thus caused was reflected here most obviously, as was natural in the stock held largely abroad, which showed marked declines.
