HAVEN & SToUT's COTTON LET,
TER.

New York Sept. 10.-(Special) -
From speculative point of view the
influence of expectations that the pres
ent crop will exceed 100000 bales
have been modified somewhat by con
tinued reports of unfavorable weather
and the consequent growing belief that
the Government crop report, due this
afternoon. will show fairly large fall
ing off in average conditions, more par
ticularly in the Atlantic States The
lateness of the crop and the possibility
that this will have an effect upon the
size of the yield is also taken into con
sideration by the trade, while the slow
movement is another factor in the situa-
ton. Unexpected firmness continues to
mark the course of both spot cotton and
prices for futures in the Liverpool mark
ct, which in the latter part of the week
scored quite an advance. In c0nse-
quence of this the New York market
has shown increasing strength and
somewhat better quotations, due in the
main to renewed speculative buying, as
commission houses have displayed in
creased activity as purchasers. At the
same time uneasiness on the part of the
SHORTS over the immediate course of the
market occasisoned some covering, al
though the principal selling at the adj
vance comes from the element in the
trade which has taken consistently
hearish position, and refuses to regard
the bullish incidents referred to above
us in any way modifying their con
clusion that the ultimate movement OF
quotations will be toward a lower level
At the same time the prevalence OF
views of the better kind for some time
past has resulted in excessive specula
tive sales and created Il condition of the
market which rendered an improvement
such as the present week has witnessed
entirely natural.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Sept. 10.-The stock mark

London. The London advance was APP
parently manipulated from this side, for
the rise here was met by quite heavy
offerings i'll continuation of the liquida-
ton of the last few days, forced by
the calling of loans. The extent Of this
liquidation is reflected in the contrac-
ton of S6,77S,000 in loans, shown by
the weekly bank statement. Northern
Pacific preferred and New York Cen
trail showed the largest gains in the rail-
road list, the latter on short covering.
The advance in Central was lost, but

The reaction at the opening invited
some buying, and especially i'll st. Paul,
which rallied nearly point on the
traffic statement for the first week in
September, showing an increase over
last years unprecedentedly high level of
SGG,212. The corn roads sympathiZed
only moderately on account of the tips
current in the grain market that the
government report on the condition of
the corn would be unfavorable. The
industrials came more into notice in the
second hour, and especially Tobacco,
which showed violent recovery from
yesterdays weakness, rising an extreme

The news which caused the advance
was not forthcoming, but presumably
had to do with the plug tobacco agree

THE LONDON ADVANCE
WAS APPARENTLY MANIPU-
LATED FROM THIS SIDE.
RISE HERE MET By HEAVY OFFERINGS
In Continuation of The Liquidation Of Last Few
Days. The Extent Of This Liquidation
is Reflected in the Contraction
ofS6,078, 900 in loans.

New York, September 10.-The week
has shown transition in the contract
operations in dry goods. During the
heat of the early part of the week and

COTTON.
New York September 10.-The cotton
market opened steady with prices un-
changed to 2 points lower and ruled
feverish and irregular during the first
hour the crowd entertaining conflicting
ideas as to the showing the Government
report would make. Trading was spas
modic and chiefly of Il local character.
English news about met expectations but
weather reports were of bullish average,
indicating continued rains in the Eastern
portion of the belt and reports of cold
in the Northwest. Few outsiders put
in an appearance throughout to-days
short session Promptly at II O'Clock
the Government September crop report
was received by telegraph from Wash
ington. 1t showed general average
crop condition of 1913 per cent as against
91.2 August LIST. and predictions of SO
to 81 were made by the crowd. This
news sent shorts to cover with rush
and prices jumped up 4 TO points with
trading active.
Near the close realizing and burst of
bear selling caused break of several
points and at the close the market was
barely steady with the net gain reduced
to a matter of 1M2 points Trading was
active up to the last moment and about
evenly divided between the local and
foreign elements. Sales 400 bales for
export.

1900 bales, against 5,472 last week and
1850 last year. Port receipts estimat-

FIRE DEPARTMENT HORSES
Purchases Inside the Appropriation
and Prices Cheap

Months and months ago the council gave
the fire department an appropriation of
sS945 with which to buy thirty horses for use
in the fire department.
The term months and months ago is used
advisedly, as only seven horses out of the
thirty ordered have been bought within
year preceding June 1st last.
Commissioner j. Kuhrts and Assistant
Chief Smith expended the money, bought
the horses and a detailed report of their
work, taken from the city clerks books,
shows that they have bought thirty-one
horses instead of thirty for 5000. leaving $245
out of the appropriation to their credit.
Had they not purchased the one extra
horse the department would be without a
reserve horse today.
Some of the details of the buying, In view
Of the demand that horses be advertised for
Is of interest Horses were bought in Ven
tura county, in San Bernardino, Riverside
and wherever animals fit for the service
could be procured. The two buyers, allowed
$3.50 for two teams, bought them for $780, al
lowed $1,000 for nine horses. they bought ten
for $110O, and so on through the list. Not
horse was bought until thoroughly tried by
actual work, and so far not new horse
purchased has broken down. The Depart
ment needs a dozen horses, and now that
the matter is being agitated. an effort is to
be made fully to fit the department with
sound animals.

CITIZENS PROTEST
The Main Street Residents Demand
Protection

The protests against allowing the Los An
geles Electric company to tear up Main
street in order to put In conduits are pour
ing in upon the council. Many of the as
sessable real estate holders along the street
who have not paid their assessment say
they will not pay unless assured that the
pavement recently completed is left intact.
They urge that the lighting company has
had ample time in which to comply with
the law, and not having done SO, they should
be debarred from making the citizens suf-
fer for their negligence.
The city engineer and street superinten-
dent agree that no matter how carefully
the repairs are made Main street pavement
if again torn up can never be replaced in
as good condition as 1t is today. Both
Street Superintendent Drain and City En-
gineer Dockweiler are more than proud of
the Main street pavement and say that no
piece of work as it now stands.
The matter will probably be taken into
the courts either by the protesting citizens
or the lighting company. Opinions as to the
law differ, but the majority opinion is with
the lighting company's right to put in con-
Quits
Citizens protest against widening Twen-
tieth street from Figueroa from Grand av-
enue and against opening Park Grove ave-
nue. from Twenty-frst to Twenty-third
streets.
Citizens petition for a sewer on Sixth from
Wilmer street to Laura drive.

PASADENA BOULEVARD
Aggressive Fight Being Made Over
the Route

The matter of selecting route for the
proposed boulevard towards Pasadena
promises to give the board of public works
just now, and the city council later on, all
the work they can do to reconcile conten-
lions among the residents of that section of
the city through which the boulevard will
pass by whatever route selected. What is
known as the "adobe route" seems to have
the hardest workers in its favor, but
whether 1t has the greater number of citi-
zens as its advocates remains to be seen.
The building of the boulevard is a much
needed Improvement and it was decided some
time ago not to allow any fractional fights
to delay the work. This promise has not
been kept to the letter. Today the two
members of the board of public works, Ash
man and Blanchard, who yesterday went
over all the routes suggested for the boule-
ward, will have final meeting with citi-
zens and 1t is hoped and expected that they
will make up their minds to adopt one route
of the several suggested and recommend 1t
to the council. The matter has been drag
ging along until it is getting tiresome. The
general opinion seems to be that 1t coulI
and should have been settled long ago If
the engineers and surveyors can be be-
ieved, and the citizens on all sides of the
question earnestly hope the matter will be
ended today. Lets do something or moth
ing, and if nothing, give the other fellow
chance to do something" was the way a
citizen put 1t yesterday.
