night, and while 1T is subject to a slight
revision in respect to the time of the
issuance of the call, which may come
this week, it will be carried out without
fail.
The meeting last night, which was really
called for the purpose of determining on
candidate, resolved itself into a lively
discussion on the opinion given by Mr.
Griggs, and for the time being the Sc
lection of a candidate was forgotten
The consensus of opinion was that Mr.
Griggs had gone too far. The fact that
Gov. Van SAINT had recognized the stat
utes bearing on the matter to the extent
of officially notifying the executive OF
the city, Mayor Smith, seemed sufficient
and in the minds of all made plain their
duty and authority.
The establishment of a precedent in
the election of w. B. Joyce by the COM
mon council in 1896 to fill a vacancy in
the board also appealed to those present
and on this the decision to go ahead
and hold an election despite the conten-
lions of the legal department, was decid-
ed upon.
1t is doubtful if the board of county
commissioners will permit whoever is Sc
lected by the council to participate in
their deliberations, but this will bring
the question before the courts and it will
then be satisfactorily adjusted and settled
for all time.
Said Alderman Murphy:
II don't care what the charter pro-
vides or does not provide. The statutes
are plain as to who is to fill vacancy
in the county board when that vacancy
includes district within the city limits
The governor in his official notices rec
ognizes this law, and that, in my mind
is sufficient.
President Schiffman said:
''Mr. Griggs' point is perhaps well taken
but it is vague and hardly acceptable
The state law provides for certain con-
tingencies and the charter does not.
think the meeting will be called next
week.
CANDIDATES WE'RE ANXIOUS.
While the members were celebrating
behind closed doors, a number of the
interested including w. J. Preston and
c. ]. Weyl, was congregated without.
The appearance of the members later
was the signal for immediate button
holing, but who the lucky candidate was
the members refused to divulge. c. J.
Weyl, it is figured, has the lead, while
Preston follows, though it is claimed
that in case Weyl fails to make gooC
in three or four ballots his vote will &C

didate who has a number of avowed
supporters among the two bodies, and
his friends claim will make spirited

off the prize in the event that Weyl anc
Preston fail to get a satisfactory vote.

Mr.. Gilbert reported that if the board
preferred to let the contract piecemeal
said plant could be installed for $212, 900,
but it would be at the sacrifice of eff
cheney and durability, and he did not
think such course wise. The lowest
bids submitted by items were as follows:

The board then listened to dozen
representatives of different firms inter-
ested, who pointed out to the board the
merits of their respective boilers, gener-
at1ng plants, pumps. heat regulators,
smoke prevention devices, furnaces and
other equipment The board saw that
the work of letting the contracts was
going to be an arduous task, involving
many complications and decided to take
time in which to go over the various bids
carefully with the architect. The board
adjourned until next Tuesday, at which
time the awarding of contracts will be
made. The general impression seems to be
that the work will be let by separate
items and not in lump to one firm If
the lowest bids. as they now appear,
should be accepted, Allan Black & Co.

BALTIMORE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Nov. 1.-The prevailing I'M
settlement OF speculative sentiment was
well illustrated by the widely diverse
opinions expressed as to the effect of the
renewal Of government bond purchases by
the Treasury. The wavering sentiment
shifted somewhat to the optimistic side
late in the day, when it became known
that the offerings of bonds at the Sub
Treasury already amounted to 81, 2S2, 900,
thus promising considerable relief to the
money market. The closing Of the Lon
don and Paris exchanges today served to
obscure somewhat the question of the
foreign situation and gave opportunity for
a number of favorable incidents to work
with cumulative force. The result was a
rather animated buying movement in the
last hour, which turned the market
strongly upward and left prices at the
top level of the day. A few stocks show
striking gains and the leaders in activity
are point above yesterday in number
of cases. Baltimore and Ohio was con-
spicuous in the late dealings and it rose
"a without definite news. Pennsylvania
had the benefit of the extra dividend dec
laration, thus making the return to
stockholders per cent for the calendar
year, or the same as last year. The pre-
liminary figures Of the movement Of cash
disclosed the fact that the current of the
interior movement had turned toward
New York, the net gain as result of thu
direct express shipments amounting to
81, S50,S77. The statement of Sub Treasury
operations includes in it's net result pay
ments which effect loss to the banks
of SO 925 900. The loss in cash by the
banks on all accounts seems, therefore, to
be something over $2000,000 for the week
The easy condition of the money market
and the action in the stock market is
pretty clear intimation of strength by the
banks, so that there maybe changes in
the loan item to Offset the cash loss. To-
days cotton exports were again very
heavy, reaching 100000 bales and the
wheat exports for the week have run up
to 6,672,SSS bushels. 1t is believed that
an. active movement of cotton abroad
would be the most effective factor toward
depressing exchange and checking the
export of gold. The local fractions were
strong and the Southern Railway stocks,
Louisville and Nashville, New York Cen
trail, Hooking Valley and the stocks of
car companies showed strength. Sugar
was heavy on the cut in price by
competitor.
Railroad bonds were quite active and
irregular. Total sales (par value) ST.
