TO KEEP TRUCKS OFF A VENUE
MR. CANTOR THINKS THEY SHOULD NOT
USE 1T IN CERTAIN HOURS-PROPO-
SITION TO WIDEN STREET.

Borough President Cantor said last night that
he would call a meeting of the local boards
of public Improvement embracing the territory
traversed by Fifth-ave. for the purpose of draft
ing resolution TO prevent the use of Fifth-ave.
by trucks and heavy draught wagons between
certain hours of the day. when the avenue is
crowded.
while I was in the Senate" said Mr. Cantor,
II tried several times to get through a bill
keeping heavy traffic off Fifth-ave.. but never
succeeded. AS 1t is about the only thoroughfare
in the city free from streetcar tracks, it might
be hardship to exclude truck traffic from it
absolutely, but it should not be used by trucks
and market wagons in the late forenoon and
afternoon, when the avenue is thronged with
women and children"
President Cantor has received from Steven
son Towe. a consulting engineer, a suggestion
with reference to the widening of Fifth-ave. by
cutting off part of the sidewalks on each side
A map which Mr.. Towle has turned in to Mr.
Cantor provides for addition to the carriage
way OF about eight feet all of this being taken
from the west side of the street between
Fortieth and Forty-second SITS in front of the
new public library site. AS the city owns this
property, Mr.. Towle suggests that there would
be no legal obstacles in the way of appropriat
ing part of II for carriage uses. Mr.. Cantor
said that he of the opinion that strip of
the sidewalk could be sacrificed all the way from
Fourteenth to Forty st to good purpose
1t is Mr. Towle's idea that the work of widening
the street be done gradually, block by
block. Corporation Counsel Rives will be asked
for an opinion on the legal points involved.
The sidewalks of Fifth-ave. extend thirty feet
from the building line with eight-foo stoop
lines. The Common Council in 1882 granted per-
mission to property owners to inclOse fifteen
feet for courtyards, lawns and flower beds. This
space in the business section of the avenue in
the opinion OF many, serves no particularly use
full purpose.

ANOTHER ADVANCE IN COPPER.
AGREED BY THE TRADE THAT THERE HAS
BEEN A GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN
THE SITUATION.

Another advance in the prices in copper-the sec
ond in many days-was made yesterday by the
United Metals Selling Company. Lake copper Is
quoted at 11Is cents a pound. with the cleo
trolytic at IN to 112s cents and castings at lis
to 1lA cents 1t is generally agreed by the trade
that there has recently been great improvement
in the copper situation The big surplus stock held
a few weeks ago by the United Metals Selling Com
pany is said TO have all been sold and distributed
and consumers all over the world. who for months
have been making hald to mouth purchases, are
now reported rushing TO supply their needs at
the low prices ruling.
Amalgamated Copper shares were again yesterday
the feature OF the stock market. advancing an
even three points on aggregate sales of more than
100000 shares. The report from London that a di-
rector of the Rio Tnto Copper Company was on
his way TO this city TO confer with the Amalga-
mated companys managers could not be con-
frmed yesterday. but believed in usually well
informed quarters TO be true although ii was
added that the statement that he would propose a
reduction OF the output of his company was prob
ably unfounded in fact.

Every recently built European hotel now has Its
American bar where all the fancy mixtures sup
posed by Europeans to be dear to the average
American be had. and. curiously enough. many

States. The latest additions TO the number are
those of the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool and of the
Queens Hotel In Leeds both of these hotels being
the property of the Midland Railway Company of
England, and the entire fittings of the hotels and
their American bars of the most modern and
elegant description. and the 'barkeeps' have been
specially selected from among the most expert
