COTTON.
New York, October 5.-Offerings of
cotton We're eagerly snapped up by
nervous shorts around the opening at
the cotton exchange today and before
sufficient cotton could be found to meet
the demands Of investors, the foreign
element and the South, prices had adj
vanced 5 to s points. BY midday this
improvement had been supplanted by an
additional rise of 4 to points with
the market at that time showing re-
markable strength. Though there were
intervals of profit taking, causing an
occasional set back in prices, the late
market showed plenty Of bullish spirit.
English cables showed great strength
with Liverpool futures FIVE to six and a
half points higher and spot cotton ac-
tive and hardening.
The cotton belt supplied bad weather
news, reports of still higher prices for
spot cotton and receipts in such volume
as to bear out small crop estimates. Pri-
yate wires declared that the crop was
showing up less favorably as the season
progressed. The Government charts rec
ord heavy rains in portions Of the At
lantic States and falling temperature
west of the Mississippi Valley. In the
Central Gulf area a severe storm was
said to be in full sway, leading to fears
of more or less damage to cotton still in
the fields. The bulk of the cotton re-
ported sold today was down to the
account of mill buyers. The market
closed steady with prices net to IL
points higher.

The tourist business for this season bids

up at a much better rate than passenger
officials have known for some years, and
predictions were made that an exception

promise of its youth the season is now

II Is the best thing that can happen for
them, as IL drives more visitors down from
the North and at the same time serves
TO keep those already in Florida from
starting on their homeward trips A bit
of warm weather just al this time has the
effect of cutting off the season and driving
fore they would otherwise think of return-
ing.
The coming of the warmer days is the
time when Savannah gets its greatest
profit out of the tourists. 1t Is then that
they stop over here on their return. When
tickets are sold tourists by the railroads
they are allowed the privilege of spending
fifteen days on the route each way This
is in order that they may stop over al
such places as they may 1T. The
privilege is exercised at several points

DISCUSSED NEW ORDINANCE.
Assessment Committee Talked Over
Fate of Tax Assessors.


The Council committee on assessments,
consisting Of Aldermen Thomas, Schwarz.
Williams. Wells and Doyle, met at the
exchange yesterday for the purpose of con-
sidering the substance Of an ordinance 10
govern the board Of tax assessors and re-
ceivers. which win expire April by law.
The matter was discussed from various
standDoints, and an ordinance was agreed
upon to submit to Council.
The committee has the provisions of this
ordinance to suggest, and as the time for
the dissolution of the present board is
close at hand, quick work is demanded.
TO make sure of getting the ordinance
passed by the time the present board ex-
pires. Il will be introduced az the meet
ing tomorrow night, and passed at the
meeting on April %. If it were postponed
until the meeting after the next an objec-
tion TO its passage would throw the crea-
ton of the, new board beyond the time
the present board will have expired.
Alderman Thomas, chairman ofuthe com
mittee. was seen in regard TO the meet
ing, out would not give any informa ton
ABOUT the ordinance he said had been
agreed upon.s He admitted that the new
arrangement may save the city some
money. lit may and II may not save

of the City Council The general impress
sion all along has been tha4 the city
would make material saving in this de-
partment, and If the assessment commit
tee does not find this practicable, the
chances are its report will undergo some
changes
Inc opinion OF large number has been
that the board could get along with much
less in salaries than is now required. II
Is said the old arrangement of having one
man in the office for the clerical work,
with the privilege of calling in assistants
when necessary, to be paid by the city
per diem, would work well again

soneli of the board will be changed. Mr..

formally accept the conditions Of the law.
The acquiescenee of the board was Sc
cured, and there will be no obstacle 10
the further steps that are to be taken be-
fore the company will be in a position to
award the contract for the construction
of the bridge. The plans for the structure
are now before the Secretary of War for
his approval as this is a provision of the
law governing the placing of bridges over
navigable streams.
Nothing relative to the acquisitions that
have been made by the president and other
stockholders of the Georgia and Alabama
was done by the board, and it is under
stood that nothing growing out of the
change of ownership of the Seaboard Air
Line and the Florida Central and PENN
sular was considered. Later meetings of
the directors may make changes, but the
president and Northern directors will be
present when business Of such Importance
Is transacted.
