STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 15.-The stock mar
ket was subjected to a rather drastic IL
quotation of speculative holdings to-day
in continuation of the movement of yes
terday. The selling was due to a feeling
that it was safer to take profits at the
present level than to retain holdings over
Sunday. The situation at Havana was
the motive of the selling. There is no
assurance felt that there may not be a
sudden development of a dangerous sit
uation there which would necessitate i'm

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Housing Meeting-Resolutions
 O. the P..I.

Nearly every member of the chamber of commerce waS present at the reyll- lar monthly meeting last Monday even- attended cooked and primcd with reso- utions and motions for the bcttcrncnt of the city and the welfare of it's citi- zcns. and as result much has been accomplished that without this organ ixed body would have been ne gicctcd. to the dctrinunt of Wlangcl and its future.
 The first matter of importance Was the introduction and adoption of d rcsG- lution by Judge Wiioughby Clark re- questing Judge (. 5. Johnson of soilka to allow the November term of the l.. S District Court to be ic!d in Wrangel |. Judge Clark said:
 "I'hc conditions now are far different from those that existed when the law allowing Wrangcl one term of the court d year. wa, passed. Tine increase ill population. followed naturally by the increase of litigation. both civil and criminal, and the ease with which jurors now can be scrurcd makes it in- pcrativc that we insist upon ol,r rights and secure at least one term of court |, year here.
 A copy of the resolutions will be pre- sented by Judge Clark to the court at Sitka the coming week
 The report of Me#srs. Car pbcll. Blumhardt and Jensen constituting the sanitary committee, on the condition o1 the city and steps t. be taken tC remedy the evil. rather startled those who had given the matter little OF nc attention and the remarks of Marshal Grant brought rather forciblr to mind the fact that some decided action Was necc -sary. and that at once. The mar shal assured the chamber that if con. plant was made against those W ho viO. l lated. as was shown. the actual deccn. cies of civilization, he would do all in ] his power to bring them to justice, 1 The matter being referred to members of the legal profession present. it was decided that request to the citizens both permanent and transient be made to keep their premises clean and ir good order and in case of continued neglect or refusal to prosecute undei the nuisance act
 The committee was instructed to SO licit funds for. and secure the services of. d scavenger whose duty it will be tt remove at stated intervals garbage and refuse from the business and resi- dencc portion of town. and put the city ina sanitary and healthy condition.
 A motion was made, seconded ana carried that numbers be placed on the buildings on Front street and the offer of Surveyor Brown to number each twenty feet on the plat of Wrangel was accepted. This will be done. and it is to be hoped the business community will adopt the method at once as d guidance to the stranger "For no" that the brewery is closed," as some one remarked i've have no landmark by which to guide visitor down Front street." Collector Arment was pres ent "and didn't say q word.' (Laugh' ter.
 Mr. G. NJ. Miller, as one of the emo. mittee on fire and water, reported that all means at hand were being used fol the safety of the city, and that with care by individuals in the construc. tion and maintenance of their chimneys and stove pipes contlagration could be avoided. The report was adopted.
