THE TEMPLE STREET PAVEMENT

THE TEMPLE STREET PAVEMENT
 An afternoon paper yesterday spoke of the plan of taking up the asphalt block paving on Temple street and turning and relaying the blocks in stead of laying new pavement, as is now proposed. As a matter of fact the block on Temple street, through the green, have already been turned and relaid once and at the time of that re- laying the faces of the blocks. which before that were uppermost, were so worn that the condition of the pave ment then was about the same as that at present, which it is considered necessary to remedy. The question now is not as to the necessity of a new pavement but as to what kind of new pavement shall be laid, asphalt, con crete or some other material.

VOLUME OF LIQUIDATION
1t Is Very Large at the Opening
Yesterday.
VIII Result i'll a Read instment
of Investments.

New York Feb. 21.-The news and de-
velopments over Sunday bearing upon
the financial situation and upon the
various matters upon which attention
is now centered We're not of themselve s
calculated to precipitate such large
volume of liquidation as appeared in
the stock market at the opening Of
business this morning. SO far as the
SpanishCuban situation was concern
ed, the most conservative reports dis
closed little additional information as
to the origin of the disaster to the
Maine. On the other hand, the rather
alarming advices respecting the
chances of a clash between the British
and French forces in West Africa
found little reflection in the London
stock market, and purchases here by
foreign houses were one of the most
noteworthy features Of the day, large
amounts Of various stocks being taken
this forenoon.
Aside from the buying for foreign
account and the occasional covering of
short contracts, the trading disclosed
little support, and the declines scored
during the morning were severe in
many cases.
Apart from the extremely unsettled
state of the stock market there were
few evidences otherwise of character
istic war scare.
There was a slight decline in Gov
ernment bonds, which We're fairly act
i've in the outside market, but the deal
ings on the stock exchange in these
securities are of insignificant proper
tiOns. In the event of prolonged hos
tilities extensive issues of Government
bonds would result in a readjustment
of the present basis of investments.
In the afternoon the markets ten
dency was less uniformly weak sup
port being accorded to a number of
stocks, New York Central being a case
in point. Except in relative activity
and the extent of the declines the mar
ket was without particular features

GOVERNMENT REFUSES GOLD
New York Bankers Severely Critt.

else n Recent Treasury Order
New York Feb. 21.-Bankers generally
criticised today unfavorably the Treasury
order issued last week directing the SUBJ
treasury in this city not to ACCEPT anv
longer deposits of gold but to require
deposits of legal-tender notes for trans
fers of currency to interior points, chiefly
to New Orleans, st. Louis. Cincinnati and
other places where small notes are want
ed at this season of the year for moving
crops. A few months ago, when the
banks had a superabundance of currency
and the Treasury needed gold the Treas
ury issued an order the reverse of the
present one, and insisted on gold being
deposited for transfers of currency
The reason given for the present order
is that the Treasury has more gold than
it needs Bank officers today said that
the Treasury's position was very absurd
that the recent deposits of gold for trans
fers of currency had not lessened the
Treasury's holdings of legal tender notes
as silver certificates were invariably paid
out at the points mentioned in exchange
for the gold deposit and that such orders
only had the effect of harassing the
banks a little and interfering unneces-
sarily with the movement of money for
crop purposes, thereby inconvenencing
the public. The National Park Bank
offered customers gold coin today in pay
ment for checks presented at the counter
Some of them took the coin but the ma
jorty said they preferred notes.
The Treasury will have no big demand
for legal tender notes until APRIL. when
it has s5,S00,09) to pay for interest. Against
that, however should be set off the
money in the banks on account of the
Union Pacific sale and the sc, 800 GOO to be
paid to the Treasury on account of the

No Tobacco Is Being Shipped FROM

New York. Feb 2l.--For some reasons

the spanish officials in Cuba would seem

edict went into effect some ten days ago.
A certain New York merchant had eN-
pected TO receive a large consignment by
one of the Ward Line steamships. In
stead, the vessel brought a letter in
which his Havana correspondent said no
more tobacco would be shipped for the
present. The imports at this port amount
TO many millions of pounds year, most
Of this tobacco being, required to supply
the local demand. On the supposition
that they could get all the Cuban tobacco
they might want. importers and manu-
facturers have made no attempt TO store
supplies for future use. The result is
that there is scarcely any Havana to-
bacco in the market. and Ii is probable
that what there is will soon be worth
double the price of today, unless the
Spaniards remove their embargo. If they
do not there is going to be Havana to-
bacco famine An official of the tobacco
board of trade said:
Il suppose that Blanco is following in
the footsteps of Weyler because of the
income the insurgents derive from the to-
bacco. Even if the growers in Cuba do
not contribute To the insurgent cause, as
il is reported they do, the Cubans get
an income from the cigar-makers here.
Most of the cigar makers are Cubans, and
all OF them earn good wages. There are
at least a hundred thousand who con-
tribute a dollar q week TO the insurgcnt
cause. 1T is this fund that is helping TO
send so many cargces of ammunition to
