The streeI eaaz.
Called to Account.

Warner Stutler, Superintendent Of Street
Cleaning, yesterday complained TO Com
missioner Ross that Dagget G. Dugan are
violating their contract for hand cleaning
of the streets and have been doing so
since the first day OF the present fiscal
gear The complaint was in the form of
special report which the Superintendent
has contemplated making for some days
past. He asserted that that he thought the
violation Of the stipulations and general
Specifications would be continued. and rec
commended that for this reason the con-
tractors be required to show cause why
their contract should not be suspended
and the work done by other parties
Commissioner Ross has immediNe
charge over the Street Cleaning Depart
ment, and after he received the report he
recommended that it be approved, and for
waTded the document to District Commis-
sioner Wight. Commissioner Ross further
recommended that the contractors be re-
CURED TO show cause before noon of next
Friday why their contract should not be
suspended. 1t was also recommended by
Commissioner Ross that the sureties of
the contractors, namely. the MARYLAND FL
deity and Deposit Company. be acquainted
with the contents of Superintendent Slut

was at least 25 short of sufficient force 10

man was 1900 square yards on both con-
tract and District work. Under the present
contract many of the men are required to
clean as much as from 1900 to is 00C
square yards per day. The consequence is
the work is not half done. The contractors
have not only failed to employ a sufficient
force OF men but they have also failed to
supply the men with the necessary outfit

There was a great dearth of general
news yesterday, even the fake news"
usually manufactured in plenty being alb
sent on account of the general anxiety
over the Brooklyn matter. One of the few
bull tips of the day was to buy American
Steel and Wire common stock. The state
ment is made by a semi-official authority
that the Wire people will soon take their
application to the stock exchange to have
their securities listed on the exchange.
This application must. according to the
rules of the exchange, be accompanied by
full statement as to the affairs of the
company, gross and net earnings, and divi-
dend prospects 1t is said that clique
is preparing to advance the common stock
sharply in anticipation of this statement,
which will be an excellent one according
to all reports.

that there will be any radical changes in
the market for some time. Meanwhile the
crop IS doing quite well and. in fact the
conditions could hardly be better in some
sections. What will be the outlook thirty
days hence is another question. good
deal of liquidation is on the programme
but it is not thought probable that, for a
while, at least, there will be much of a
decline. Tired holders will buy back
after evening up, and. in fact. selling on
bulges and buying back on breaks will
keep prices within the range indicated

opments.

The talk regarding Federal Steel COM

argument in this case being that the in
junction against the paying of the divi-

The statements to be made public this
week will be in general most attractive
ones, and may do much 10 strengthen the
market. St Paul will issue two, the reg
ular weekly gross earnings statement, and
the annual report. 1t is known that the
yearly statement will be magnificent one
The figures have been approximated in
this column heretofore. The weekly state
ment also will be fine, as usual Other
reports that will show immense earnings
and the most prosperous conditions are
those of Rock Island and Atchison for
the month of June. The grangers were
steady and strong yesterday, declining
fractionally at the opening and recovering
much of their loss before the end of the
day. st. Paul closed at 131, Rock Island at

Nashville were both strong, showing little
disposition to recede with the remainder
