sensibilities. that is, if she was asmoker
The Mayor was there and various
other members and eX-members OF the
Board of Aldermen, besides business
men and other guests. OF the eighty
members of the fire department, sixty
regular and twenty substitutes, some
two thirds were present The whole
number of persons present must have
been some over a hundred.
The first order of business was card
playing and smoking, conversation, and
joking. After enjoying these diversion
and billiards till about S.45 the assembly
was called to order to listen to remarks
by Mayor Gordon. The Mayor stepped
forward during the expeclant hush that
followed and spoke in part as follows.

a Scheme to Trap Operators nn the
New Orleans Cotton Exchanges.
New Orleans, La: Intense excitement
prevailed on the cotton exchange Sept. 229.
The directors met and suspended business.
The market had scarcely opened when
operators became paralyzed by adviccs
from Liverpool showing futures were
advancing by leaps. In half an hour liv-
crpool jumped nearly Il cent. Operators
were unable to explain the tremendous
jump. II is believed the wires have been
tapped and IL gigantic stealing game is
afoot somewhere. Private cables are
going to Liverpool by dozens seeking in-
formation.
New York: Regular quotations on
cotton from Liverpool show that instead
of advancing by jumps, as understood AT
New Orleans, prices We're actually lower.
