ALL ARE HAPPY.
Public Works Engineers Receive
Their Salaries

Owing to the muddle in the Public
Works Department, occasioned by the
laws passed by the last Legislature,
the salaries of Chief Engineer Nurse
and Assistant Engineer Randle were
held up by the State Board of Ex-
aminers.
The Auditing Board to the Commits
sioner of Public Works referred the
matter to the Attorney General and re-
quested an opinion. The opinion was
received a short time ago, and was to
the effect that all claims for work con-
tracted for before the expiration of the
term of office of Commissioner Leake
(March /, 1S99) should be paid, and
that the warrants of the engineers who
supervised the work should be drawn.
So it happens that the contractors
for the work at cut-offs g and in the
San Joaquin River and Engineers
Nurse and Randle are happy. Every
body has been paid

October. The question now is to what ex-
tent a small crop IS discounted. The rise In
price has been large; quotations at the
close last evening were 70 to %. points
higher than month ago and some people
are asking whether this is not enough for
the present. There was nothing in the
early market today to encourage either
side. AT first quotat tons were to 3 higher,
and in quick order went off to 5. There
was no snap and little interest, especially
owing to the absence of frost news. Re-
ceipts were running light as usual, and the
movement appeared to be regarded as of
little importance for the time being. Re
perts were again current of better prospects
on account of mild weather and the opinion
was that not much advance would be seen
until freezing weather. Cables came low
err on futures. The amount brought into
sight for the week was 100000, against 411.0OO
last week. and 553 900 last year. The close
was about the same to 2d3 points higher
than opening. Port receipts, 27SI3, against

New York. October 20.-Liverpool de-
clined 1872 on spots and 2-64 on futures. Our
opening was Irregular but not far from
last nights prices, after which decline
of a few points occurred on selling by two
prominent bull houses This was followed
by good local buying, based on small re-
ceipts at ports and interior, and prices
steadily gained points. Sellers receipts
are small at ports and at interiors and
naturally tend to confirm small crop notion.
On the other hand claim is made that Eu-
rope by not buying, keeps back the flow
and also that the planters are holding
back. Whether in the south, fine. and crop
prospects improving. The demand for
goods is said to be quiet, with but few
orders. The close of the market was steady
at an advance of points over last night.
This advance will very likely bring higher
Liverpool on tomorrow.

SHORTS RUSHED To COW R

New York, October pa multi
tude of conflicting opinions served
to prevent special activity on either
side of today's cotton market and
checked and marked alteration in prices.
The market opened steady 293 points higher
on the near months following firm cables
and buying for foreign account. But fears
that the weekly statistical showing might
prove bearish led investors to unload the
latter months with the result that those
months went off sharply 1Q2 points.
After wavering for a few moments the
market became unsettled and broke nerv-
ously under general selling pressure. AS
the returns came in from the interior points
and the ports, it was seen that the move
ment of the crop during the past week
had fallen far below the most conserva tive
estimates. Shorts were quick to realize
their position and sought to cover with
rush, and prices responded to their support
in good form, reaching level of 5Q7 points
above last nights close early in the after
noon. As the market improved trading
gradually increased with fresh buying for
investment account the chief feature. Sem
tsTnent at the close was strongly bullish on
the crop situation. The market was finally
very steady at net rise of 3a7 points.
