was an addsess all well read with
pleasure. We cannot do better
than to give it here in full:
1T will doubtless be expected of
me, as the Chief Executive of the
city, to say something upon this
occasion which terminates the Off
cial association of several of our
city officers who, by their faithful
discharge of duty deserve feeling
of deep gratitude from the citizens
of our city Of Mexico as well as
myself.
During the official year now
closing the city has been called up
on to pass thru the most cmbar-
RAISING situation since her incor-
pOration as city.
a decrease in revenue, which
has been beyond your control, and
the large expenditure of money, in
the protection of our city from the
further spread Of Il pestilcncc
which has kept our city in con
slant fever of excitement and suS-
pense, has almost totally prevented
improvement and progress.
Thru it all You have given cv-
cry means of support and cncour-
agcment, moral and financial, that
was at your command uOtwith-
standing the unjust criticism of
those who did not or would not
know the circumstances which sur
rounded you in your official dis
charge of duty.
ITO the councilmen who sit with
us officially for the last time to-
night, most heartily appreciate
your fidelity to the citizens inter
ests and part with You with regret
and the highest appreciation of
your merit Us true representatives
of your respective wards.
ITO those who come to take
your places tonight, will only say
that YOU are the representative of
n people who will expect YOU to
look well to their interests.
There are many improvements
necessary, more especially in the
cleanliness and neat appearance Of
the city. There are nuisanceS,
which it has seemed almost impos-
siblc to abate in the past, which
should be removed. The hitching
racks around the square is nota-
Bile one. The stock pens and
scales on South jefferson street is
another. There are Others which
your good Judgment and foresight
will point out. The question of
municipal ownership of some of
our internal enterprises has en-
gagged the public mind for some
time. You will have cause to con-
slider its merits during your official
term. Hoping that harmony aud
wisdom may characterize all our
official acts, we now enter upon
another year of official duty and
responsibility"

New York, May 1.--Union Pacific again
furnished the sensation OF the stock mar
ket today and the movement of that stock
and of stocks correlated with It in the
speculation dominated the market practi-
cally all day. The stock showed good
gain at the opening and was firmly main.
talned all through the period Of sharp
reaction when the enormous prohttaklng
had horne down prices after the opening.
This reaction had become very general
when Union Pacific began to advance by
such strides and on such succession OF
buying orders as was surprise In even
the current market. The advance was
pretty steady by fractions up TO about LII,
hut from that point the advance became
Wild, jumping point between sales some
times and falling back as abruptly, but
without any relaxation In the character or
buying until the prices touched 100 From
that point the stock fell back by fcverlsn
fluctuations to 123 aud ybrated wildly
as though the traders were attempting to
find level representing some undiscloscd
offer for the stock. The violent relapse In
Union Pacific came about the same time
as the dividend action OF Atehison. AS
there have been very demonstrative claims
that the semlannual dividend Woulu ne
. per cent instead Of IL per cent, there
were some disappointed traders who sold
the stock on the announcement causing
relapse of 8 points. The mutual mar
ket looked at this time as though Il would
lose all the advantage derived from the
squirt fl Union Pacific aud large part
Of the recovery Of from ! to points
from the carly low level was lost again.
The general movement Of prices was so
erratlc as to throw the spectators luto
