Enough of the fence surrounding the new
postoffice building was removed yesterday
to allow pedestrians the use of the side
walk in front of the building. During the
afternoon the rubbish which had accumu-
lated in the cutters inside the fence was
removed and the building showed up to
much better advantage than 1t ever has be-
fore. A portion OF the fence still remains
on the M street side in order to protect the
walk, which is not quite completed. Super
intendent Cramer will move his office into
the building today and the little shack
which has been used as a superintendent s
office for year or more will be carted
away. The east and south doors are closed
to the public in order to give the force OF
workmen as much room as possible,

New order Governing Saloons.

Mayor Ensor tightened up the screws on
the saloon men again yesterday by issuing
an order for the removal Of all window and
bar screens and also all wine rooms. Cap
tain Allie Of the police force served notice
on the liquor dealers yesterday that the OBJ
structions mentioned must be removed on
or before Thursday, June 10.
In connection with this matter the mayor
said that with the small police force at
his command he could not watch all the
saloons properly and the only thing to do
was to order the removal OF all screens in
order that a clear view of the bar could
be had at all hours during Sunday. Ac-
cording to the authorities one saloon keeper
rigged up a contrivance whereby he has
been enabled to violate the Sunday closing
order without detection. The person in
mind had an electric button placed in a
concealed position at the front OF his build
ing and kept a constant watch UP and down
the street. When blue coat hove in sight
the button was pushed and the crowd in
the Saloon rushed to the wine room, where
they concealed themselves until the officer
bad passed. The way the police were being
hoodwinked was too good a joke to keep
and the story leaked out. Particular at
tention will be paid to this place in the
future.

BRADsTREETs FINANCIAL REVIEW
From Beginning of Inactivity Stock
Market Inter RecONern

From Beginning of Inactivity Stock
Market Later Receivers.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Bradstreets Finan.
clal Review tomorrow will say:
At the beginning Of the week the market
showed a disposition to continue its low
sagging tone. The gold shipments was cal
culated to support this belief and with the
absence OF any public buying led the pro-
fessional traders to generally act on the
short side of the account. IT is also recog-
niZed that at the present rates of exchange,
some European interest, generally thought
to be the Bank of England itself has put
premium upon gold consignments, small hut
suihcient to induce an artificial flow from
this country.
There was a steadier tone Ia Tuesday 5
trading and Wednesday yielded two incl
dents which for the time being at least
seemed to change the temper OF the specula-
tioI. One of these was the declaration OF
the regular per cent quarterly dividend
IN the American Sugar company's common
stock, matter about which the street had
INDUCED in more or less doubt for a full
month. The other was the declaration of
l12 per cent half yearly dividend Oil Atchison
preferred, with the announcement that the
earnings OF the road In the fiscal year ending
June 30 would also provide for another
half yearly dividend of the same amount
next January. Coverings, not only in the
stocks Just named, but in other parts Of
the list. at once ensued and some fresh buy
ing was attracted. The upward movement
continued on Thursday. The steel stocks in
spite OF some irregularity in American Steel
and Wire were generally higher and the
strength OF the market In whole seemed
to center in the portions OF the list which
had been the object of principal bearish
pressure. The firmness OF the grain mar
ket and unfavorable accounts OF the crops
had apparently little further influence on
speculation. London took but small part
In the trading here, though the Atchison
dividend induced some foreign buying Of
that stock. On the othsr hand, the weak
ness OF the mining division OF the London
market, caused by the failure OF the
Transvaal negotiations, did not find any re-
fectior here, apart from a decline in
Anaconda shares and the continued heavi-
ness OF Amalgamated Copper. The bond
market continued to be very strong, with
an unabated demand for the better kind OF
lssues,and such a scarcity OF such offer
ings, even at the prices, that the inquiry is
perforce turned to lower grades and new
securities, more or less attention having
been given this week to the first mortgage
bonds to be issued by the reorganized Wis
