Extension OF conduit lines and establish
ment of conditions for placing wires and
cables underground are the substance of q
resolution offered by Mr.. Kinney last night
and adopted by the House of Delegates.
The new boundaries defined in the reso-
luton are the river. Arsenal street, st.
Louis avenue. Union and Macklind avenues.
Mr.. kidneys object is to provide legisla-
zion prescribing conditions for the burial
Of cables and wires in this district.
The resolution must be accepted by the
City Council &c become effective. Subse-
Quently a committee is to be appointed,
consisting of three Councilmen and three
Delegates. TO make a thorough study Of the
problem and report conclusions, accompa-
MED by a bill.
For several months the Special Committee
on Lighting of the Board Of Public I'M
provements has had under consideration
the subject Of extension Of conduit limits,
but no repor has been submitted to the
board. Necessity Of examining into ordi-
nances covering the subject. and desire to
guard against errors. has consumed much
time.
Yesterday morning property owners ap-
peared before the board and objected TO the
mating Company Of Carondelet to erect
poles on the north side Of Olive street be-
tween JeHerson avenue ana h1nR nign-
way boulevard. The application and re-
monstrances were referred TO the Special
m on Lighting.
The board rejected the petition Of the St.
Louis Transit Company for permission to
erect trolley poles on Pine street from
Twelfth street to Twenty-first street. IN
der the Central Traction ordinance. the
Central Traction Company obtained right
of-way on Pine street on condition that the
cars be operated by an underground trolley
system. The board followed the advice of
City Counselor Schumacher in refusing
the application. 1t is thought that the st.
Louis Transit Company will take the mat
ter to court.
Members Of the board are almost unan-
tmous in the opinion that the present
boundaries Of the underground district
should be extended. In his last message
Mayor Wells urged legislation to make
burial Of charged wires compulsory. The
general opinion is. however. that the Board
of Public improvements Is most competent
to take initiative steps.

mittee to Confer With the

WARM DEBATE ON SUBJECT,
Indications Are That the House

Debate over the garbage reduction con-
tract bill was precipitated in the House of
Delegates last night by Mr.. Reiss. whose
motion for recedence from amendments re-
tected by the City Council caused an uproar

Mr.. M~eysenburg. the Council adopted the
report of the Committee on Sanitary AZ

Jected collectively.
The reading Of the Council message con-
veying this Information was delayed in the

Mr.. Burke was recognized in the tumult
and moved that the House insist on the

LARGE INCREASE
 IN STOCK TRADING The Dealings Were "Spotty' and Affected All Shares REALIZING DID NO DAMAGE Steel Companies Were Strong, Notably On the Acquisition of the Ala
 bama Company by Ten
 nessee Interests.

New York, June 13-There was nota- ble increase in the speculation in stocks today, the figures running up to mill lion shares. Speculative interests was still decidedly spotty as to affect the whole list by sympathy with unimportant exceptions. There were points in the list nevertheless which were held back by palpable realizing. The realizing was we'll taken and inflicted no losses on the stocks. Pennsylvania was notable ex- ample in this category and the South westerns did not share to the full in the buoyancy of other Western railroads Very large amounts of Pennsylvania stock have been marketed this week and in the loan crowd the stock commands a premium. The selling is to large eX- tent against the buying of rights to sub scribe to the new stock issue. Notwith- standing the official disclaimers of report ed purchase of the Pennsylvania Steel Company by the Railroad Company. Wall street opinion regards that as an accom- plished fact. The continued strensth to- day of Colorado Fuel and the buying of that stock by some brokers usually em- ployed by the Colorado Company was be- ing sought by the Gould-Harriman inter- est with the same purpose in view as that ascribed to the Pennsylvania, namely, to insure the cheap production Of It's steei rails supply. The advance in Colorado Fuel reached Sh, carrying 1t above yes terday's high price. Other independent steel companies were strong, notably Tennessee Coal which rose 3B on the ac- quisition of the Alabama Steel and Wire Company The United States Steel stocks were heavy.
 The Gould Hartman brokers were ac- tive in various stocks, notably in Union Pacific. The buying in this stock was on an enormous scale. and was closely fol- lowed by St. Paul throughout all its fluctuations. The street was in the dark as to the cause of the movement, and at tributed it vaguely to further working out of the Northwestern Railway rela- tions and to favorable crop news. A well defined rumor gained currency towards the close that some heavy original hold ings of St. Paul represented in the direc- tory for many years have been sold, and that the stock will appear in the col lateral for the Union Pacific convertible bonds. Cleveland, Cincinnati, and St. Louis advanced on the reported acquisi- ton of the Cincinnati Northern Minneap- oils and St Louis, after further decline of 1 point owing to disappointment of yesterdays unchanged dividend, rallied strongly points.
 Western Union gained 21s on the strength of it's large dividend return. Quite a long list of railroad and indus trial stocks advanced from to points. The buoyant outburst in Union Pacific made the closing firm although there had been constant reactions on profit-taking. Several convertible bond issues were strong and active in response to the movement of their stocks. The market was generally active and quite firm.
 Total sales, par value, s5,740,OOO.
 United tSates bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

Cotton Letter.
By Private Wire to sledge Commission

By PrlVate W1ro tO oieuBS SohiiiiSoioh
 Company.
 Birmingham June 13-Liverpool began the day very satisfactory, but before the end of the session broke sharply on the belief that the July deal was over, and on the circulation of reports to the ef- feet that crop conditions on this side were greatly improved The close was to 5-64 lower on futures and 1-16 on spots. New York followed Liverpool on the sum mer months, working lower Oh these, though enjoying temporary rallies on cov- ering by shorts. The heavy selling of July and August in Liverpool by New York house lent color to the view that the Ideal" in the summer positions was over. Weather reports indicated an average rainfall of 1.18 for the Savannah district with 1.24 at Alapaha. 1.30 at Waycross. while an inch or more fell at numerous other points in the Atlantic states. Texas got practically none. Cooler tempera- lures were reported. As a result, aggres- sive selling in the new crop positions was absent. Private advices. too, indicated that the crop in the Atlantic states was not working up to any too excellent prog ress. The close was to points lower on the summer months, and i higher to lower on the new.
 The movement was on a heavy scale with port receipts at 5345 against SS0 last year. and interior receipts Ss9s against 912.
 Port receipts since Friday were 44.600 against 5000 last year and 5000 in 1899.
