the Compulsory Vaccination bill. which recent

that the Compulsory Vaccination bill was an
unnecessary measure, and that the present law

II was reported recently that Drs. Lewis and
Harris were regarded as strong advocates Of the
compulsory vaccination tiH, and that Dr. LsderIs
was numbered among its opponents None OF
them have ever been in favor of the bill 1t was
said last night that Dr. Daniel Lewis would

of making known there the result CT the con-
ference. Steps have been taken to put end
10 the compulsory Vaccination bill and one OF
the persons responsible for this acticn against
the bill said that the bill was Just as harmless
as 4 moving cannon ball.
The substitute bill will probably be an amend

in their districts. in fact in relation TO the
vaccination Of any class Of persons Frequently
the school commissioners Of such places have
been in conflict this subject with the boards

man Downing, Of the First Ward took occasion
70 criticise Mayor Low severely. He said that
the Mayor was keeping many Democrats in
Office and putting other Democrats in office al

Per cent Of the votes that elected him.
Alderman Downing also spoke bitterly against
the bills curtailing the powers Of the aldermen
and giving the Board Of Estimate and Appor-
tonment power Of removal and appointment.
DE declared that the scheme originated with the
Democrats. in spite of the fact that Mayor Low
stood sponsor for the bills. He prophesied that
the Democrats would nominate Borough Pres-

would have control of the Board Of Estimate and

BY S14.5OO.OOo OUTLAY.

Surprise and derision were expressed by Off
cials and others interested in the Brooklyn
Bridge problem when Gustav Lindenthal. the
Commissioner of Bridges, yesterday announced
the details of his plan for relieving the con-
gestion of traffic at the Manhattan terminal of
the bridge. 1t was declared that Mr.. Linden
thars plan both absurd and impracticable.
1t said that his plan provided for the eX-
penditure OF more than S14.Oo0O00, an amount
of money Which some of the officials declared
could not be spared by the city in several years
for any new Improvement, and which reached
nearly to the original cost of the Brooklyn
Bridge The plan it was asserted, called for
the spending of enough money to construct
seven rapid transit tunnels between Manhattan
and Brooklyn, and yet it did not promise TO
increase the carrying capacity of the bridge
by so much a single passenger day. The
money would he spent it was declared to in
crease the terminal facilities Of three railroad
corporations that are rich enough to spend
millions of their own for such purpose.
The details of the Commissioners plan for re
lief of congestion of traffic on the bridge are
summarized follows

THE RICE MARKET.

Advices from the South note enlare-
ing movement along the Atlantic coast
as result of easing prices. A consid- :
cradle supply of both rough and
cleaned have recently been drawn from
the Southwest and finding that the To-
cal product was relatively out of line.
ideas have been modified as to Caro-
lima sorts; then again, the time for pre-
paration for the new crop is at hand
and constraining some to realize in or
der to meet on-coming expenses.
In the Southwest there is sizable
movement, which however, is far short
of desires. With the lulling of demand
in December stocks of cleaned accumu-
Lated and as outgoing shipments since
since the opening of the year have taxi
en- less than current offerings, plethora
is the rule rather than the exception;
all mills have shut down on their night
run and not a few discontinued opera
tions for the time being. Fortunately
the larger part of present holdings are
in the hands of those financilly we'll
heeled, who are confident as to the out
come, and who will not sell until the
spring is well advanced, or II is fully
determined that the crop is in excess OF
present estimates. Receipts of rough
continue at full volume, but from now
on, 1t Is expected that they will be on
diminishing scale.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad note generally fiat conditions
quite in contrast with times gone by
when at this period the current of busi-
ness used TO move prices sharply. The
dead level is no doubt due to the infiu-
ence of the Syndicate which keeps spec
ulation down and the market free from
the stimulus incident TO the endeavors
Of millers 10 secure their share OF in
coming parcels. Reports from Burmah
are encouraging, and the crop promises
10 be Of high order and reasonably
priced.

New Orleans, Jan. 30.-As Liverpool

opened unchanged, improved to ).
subsequently on small Houston esti-
mate and lighter interior movement
for the day. The large port receipts
free New Orleans estimate and easiness
OF spots, caused break late, making
the closing unchanged to point higher
on the day. The cold and inclement
weather. generally prevalent through
out the belt. may check the movement
temporarily, but it is doubtful whether
any material advance will be estab-
lshed considering the lack of export
demand and the weakness of spots.
Liverpool cables to-day say that trade
is unsatisfactory with no prospect for
an early improvement, and that stocks
of yarns are increasing. Sentiment,
while still bullish, shows an absence
of enthusiasm, as the decided decrease
in receipts anticipated for eight weeks.
has failed to materialize. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that the recent sad
weather will retard receipts to such
an extent as to occasion an enhance
ment in values. While this may be
realized the anxiety of spot holders
to sell as well as advance from MANY
points in the interior, reporting large
amounts held at on plantations, might
offset any temporary falling off in re-
ceipts, considering the unfavorable Eu-
ropean textile trade situation.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 30.-To-day's market
again showed its sympathy with
Amalgamated Copper. The dealings In
this stock were about twice as great
as those in sugar, and the transactions
in the two stocks combined were an
overwhelming proportion of the aggre-
gate. The speculation in Amalga-
mated Copper, while very active, was
accompanied by much confusion of
sentiment regarding the actual devel-
opments in the trade, and their bear
ings on this security. The active and
excited demand for crude copper in
London this morning and apparently
urgent bidding on the local metal ex-
change at advancing quotations in
dicated urgent requirements in the
trade but the advance in Amalgamated
Copper, while apparently a logical re-
suit of these trade developments Is met
by persistent representations from
sources which the street regards as
authorized to speak for insiders which
seemed to be designed to discourage
the advance in the stock. The price
moved irregularly to-day but at level
above last night throughout. The
price touched n at one time, which
represented an entire recovery of yes
terday's loss and X in addition The
net gain on the day is 1s.
Sugar was depressed and at no time
sold fully up to last nights level. This
mornings published report indicating
little chance for the reduction OF
duties on Cuban sugar affected the
stock throughout. The publication OF
the statement OF the United States
Steel Corporation was ignored so far
as could be perceived in the trading
in the stocks OF that concern, which
were of Insignificant proportions. In
the railroad list Southern Pacific easily
held foremost place with a net advance
Of two points. The activity OF this
stock was associated, in the minds of
traders, with the resumption OF active
trading of a leading operator after a
period Of illness. It's strength helped
the other trans-contlnentals by SYM
pathy. The increased net earnings for
December of Union Pacific following
yesterdays Increase by other cereal
carrying roads was a help to the West
ern and Southwestern Changers as the
effects of the corn crop shortage were
expected 10 develop not later than De-
cember. The other movements Of the
day were from individual causes The
Linseed stocks advanced strongly on

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. 30-Indications of
$4,000 receipts at the ports to-day
against $4,000 last year proved an OBJ
stacle to any improvement in the mar
ket which opened dull, with ports un-
changed. and showed little change
thereafter. There was more or less
complaints from the South regarding
the recent cold wave. Little Rock. es-
pecially being visited by a sharp bliz-
zard, as win undoubtedly retard the
movement in that section. Other Sec
tions have also suffered in a less de-
gree and the expectation is that the
interior movement of the week will
prove a good deal lighter than other
wise. Final cables showed no change
IN prices. Trade conditions appear so
good that present prices for raw ma
terial are regarded as reasonable The
receipts at the ports this week have
been decidedly disappointing Early in
the week bulls were hopeful, because
OF the fact that we would be compar-
ing with figures last year As the
week advanced, It appeared that cotton
was coming out quite freely and as
we approach the close of the week
there is reason for believing that the
ports may show a movement fully
equal to last year, which was 1871, 900.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. SO--The cotton mar
ket opened steady in tone, points
nlgher and for the rest of the first
hour barely changed one point. Bust
ness was extremely narrow and the
market without special feature of in
terest. AS an. offset to rather large
port receipts the Liverpool cables We're
a shade better than expected, having
recovered to 2 points before our mar
ket opened. The shorts were not in
cnned to place any particular conf
dence in sharp drop in interior re-
celpts, nor were the bulls in a mood
TO attempt using the decrease there
noted, in view of the fact that for
three days an unusually severe rain
and sleet storm has ragged over prac-
tlcally the entire belt Belief that a
strong bull interest, with headquarters
IN Wall street, stood ready to support
the market on any drop to S.10c for
May, and that prominent spot cotton
interests of New York and Philadel-
phia were prepared to sell freely on
every advance to S20c for that option.
served to check prospective invesors
from re-entering the markets for the
present. The official reports from
southern spot markets was without
feature and private information from
the belt was without new phase. In
fact, the whole situation for the time
being seemed to be a standoff, with
scalpers, even reluctant to make a pos
tive stand on either side. A slight
furry of general buying was started
toward midday, when Houston issued
very small estimate for to- morrow S
receipts, but at noon New Orleans sent
out an estimate which fully offset the
effect of Houston figures. Light room
selling sent prices off a trif1e at the
close.
The close was steady, with prices
net points higher to points lower.
