Fluctuations Were Irregular and the Market Closed Steady. Net Two Points Higher to Tnree Points
 Lower-Some Selling.

New York, April 29.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at an advance of to 5. points in response to better cables than expected. Following the call it ruled IT, regular displaying rather firmer ten dency for a time on the old crop options which advanced 2qS points for July and August, while the new crop months, more largely influenced by the rains reported in the southwest, were relatively weak. The early estimates for the days port re- ceipts. calling for only about 5000 bales against 1O,s7i baiesylast year. for time exerted a sustaining Influence, but 1t soon became evident that the figures would be overrun and the actual proved to be 11,S51 bales. Liverpool also devel- oped weakness later In the day. About 217 bales of cotton arrived here from Liver pool with 1900 to follow in the immediate future, supposedly for delivery on May contracts, and these factors brought about general selling later, which carried prices to a level 1Qs points below the closing prices of yesterday. From this there was slight recovery following fresh support from the bull contingent, but fluctuations were irregular, and the market finally closed steady, net points higher to points lower.
 Total sales futures estimated at 15OOOO bales.

Mitchell Decides to Light Its Own
Streets.
At a recent meeting of the Mitchell
city council steps were taken to i'm
prove the conditions which surround
the lighting facilities OF the city.
For the past year or two there has
been considerable complaint made at
the very poor service given by the To-
cal company, but all efforts to get
something better have failed. The
company holds an exclusive franchise
from the city and the city is compelled
to pay Sill each per month for the
eight lights for a period OF twenty
years, thirteen of which have passed
by. Seeming so well entrenched, the
electric light company has been in a
position TO do about as 1t pleased. Re
peatedly the council has endeayored to
get better service, and failing, it has
decided to take drastic easur for
the future.
Mayor Silsb~ sent a special message
to the council on this occasion which
has for its purpose the annulment of
the franchise and for the city to take
steps at onc looking to the erection
and maintenance OF a municipal cleo.
trio light plant.
The mayors message WAS received
ia a favorable light, and will be acted
upon. The ordinance committee was
Instructed to prepare an ordinance for
the next meeting OF the council which
shall repeal the present ordinance and
will a5rogate the features of the ordi-
nance which bind the city to an ex-
elusive franchise and require it to pay
a stipulated price for it's lights.
There will doubtless be a hard legal
fight over the matter, but the city feels
that 1t has the grour1 on which to win
a suit should one be brought.
