IONIA NEEDS CASH.

Mayor Scully and Alderman Ward
went to Lansing this morning armed
with petition from the common coun-
Gil, signed by all its members, urging
the passage of temporary special bill
amending the Ionia city charter so the
board can borrow not to exceed $4,000
over and above the charter limit. II
has been generally known that owing
to the extensive water works improve.
ments made last fall the council was
behind on cash. The amount is said to
be at this time about $1,000, while the
charter limits the council so that is can.
not borrow more than $1,000. The
idea is to get around this through this
temporary amendment, it being figured
that by strict economy next year the
city can catch even and have money
left.
In connection with this deficiency
the council received a report from the
city clerk stating that the water work:
improvements cost a total OF S,lS9.75
and that there were general improve
ments amounting to s1,390.72, a total
of IS, $50 AZ, and 1t is also stated that

been active in the West and wholesalers have done

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Further weakness developed in yesterday s
stock market. Selling for both accounts was
general throughout the list, and at the close OF
the day the greater number Of active shares
were well under Thursdays final level. Ih"re
were no developments affecting the strength OF
conditions governing values, but the bear Gle
ment managed TO find in the Venezuelan situa-
tjon in reports Of Queen Victoria's health ana
in iron and steel affairs sufficient reasons for
aggressive action against prices. Buying on
the decline came from substantial sources.
Sentiment in speculative circles continued to
centre on the position of the iron and steel com
panies ard the possibility Of war between the
Carnegie interests and other large steel con-
Germs A war in the steel trade would OF
course be damaging TO many lines OF 1ndus'rlal
progress while it would naturally exert a seri-
Gus effect on investment values The mere
rumor that the millions invested in this great
Industry may be placed in danger through
war of determination among the various COM
NAMES frightens Wall Street out of its senses,
and incidentally helps the transfer of weak
stock holdings to the hands Of people who see
little save smoke in the present apparently con-
fusea situation When the steel stocks decline
a little further there will be less uneasiness
over the predicted steel war. The various steel
and iron interests in this city have been hole
ing many conferences in the last few days, and
it is quite certain that they have had nothing
in mind save the best interests Of the stock
holders.
Early losses in the steel shares were generally
recovered before the close, and in the last half
hour the whole market, under the influence of
covering of shorts. enjoyed a rally Speculation
throughout the day, however, unsettled,
and MANY sto2-loss orders were reached in the
r,opular railroad stocks. st. Paul, Northern Pa
cffc. Delaware and Hudson, the traction shares
and the Southwestern issues showed the effect
of commission house liquidation, and lower
prices were predicted, although it was thought
that to-days market might develop a traders
advance Money market conditions were in no
way responsible for the weakness in securities.
Lending rates were easy, while money continued
to accumulate at this centre. In the week the
banks have gained the known movement Of
money over 100000 Sterling exchange was
a trife irmer. but no gold was taken for export.
Good buying orders in yesterdays market were
placed to secure stocks cheaply as possible
and not to resist the bear pressure.
