GOVERNMENT REPORT SENDS COTTON
PRICES SOARING AND TRADE ON THE
NEW YORK 'CHANGE IS UNPRECEDENTED

anything before recorded, while the
prices broke all the records for this
season OF the cotton year.
Same in New Orleans.
New Orleans. Dec. 4.-Yesterday
was the widest day ever seen in a
cotton market. The bureau estimated
1852 .O3g bales for this seasons crop
sent prices up from 80 TO 81 points
above Wednesdays closing figures.
Within four minutes after the estimate
was read prices advanced 40 points.
The advance was steady until March
stood so points higher than the last
quotations before the reading of the
estimate. Eight and quarter min
utes after the report was read the mar
ket received he first check. The rise
i'm March figures suddenly stopped at
go and the next sale was seven
points lower. The bears made great
efforts 10 keep the price down but the
bun movement was irresistible and a
few minutes later prices were again on
the loom.
In their enthusiasm the bulls pre-
dicted 25-cent cotton but conservatives
thought Is cents high enough for some
time to come. The trading of the day
was probably greater than any pre-
ceding day in the history of the ex-
change.

going to starbOard as he should have

FREEHOLDERS CONFER.
Bridge Committees of Essex
and Hudson Discuss the
Plank Roam.

The Free Bridge Committee of the
Essex Freeholders and the Road Com
mittee of the Hudson oBard held a con-
ference at the Court House, this city,
last night, and agreed to recommend to
their respective boards that twenty-nine
feet additional on the north side of the
Newark Plank Road be acquired by the
joint counties; that the roadway be
widened to 60 feet and paved with spe-
cifcation trap rock or granite blocks
This agreement, which was reached
after a most harmonious discussion by
the representatives of the two. counties,
is subject to the trolley company, now
operating along either side of the road,
bearing its proportionate share of the
cost of the improvement, and sub
committee was appointed to wait on the
trolley officials and see if they would
agree to the same.
The matter of whether the trolley
tracks should be placed in the centre or
at either side of the road as now, was
discussed, but no definite decision was
reached.
At this afternoons meeting of the
Hudson Freeholders resolution setting
forth the necessity of the proposed i'm
provement will be adopted as provided
for by the amendment to the State oRad
act, passed at the >last session of the
Legislature. Essex has already done
this.
The present right of way owned by
the joint counties is 81 feet. 1t is pro-
posed to purchase an additional 20 feet,
making right of way of so feet, but
for the present only sixty feet will be
improved, the idea being to have the ad-
ditional ground for sidewalks when the
same are needed.
Freeholders f. E. Ward, Conrad
Hoerl, Christian Volz and John Bull,
with County Engineer Owen, represent
ed Essex at the conference, while Hud-
son was represented by Freeholders
Richard Fallahee. Joseph w. Griffin,
Thomas Rooney, William Pairson, Chas.
C. Schmidt, Phillip iBndernagel and
Engineer James w. Leahy. County
Counsel oJhn Griffin, of Hudson, and
Wisconsin Jackson, superintendent of
the Plank road, were also present.
Freeholder Ward was chairman and
Freeholder Pairson secretary.

certificate under said law extending the
existence of said company perpetually.
This action is open to the same consti-
tutional objections as above stated in
reference to the law of 1876 and the GER
tiicate filed under it. Further, if the
charter of the Jersey City and Bergen
Railroad Company expired in 1884, it
certainly cannot be extended by an act
passed in 1902, eighteen years after its
death. / am, therefore, of the opinion
that there is good ground for question
ing whether the North Jersey Street
Railway Company, which is the assignee
o fthe Jersey City and Bergen Railroad
Company, has any rights whatever to run
cars in our streets. The language of the
oCurt in the recent case of the Newark
Plank Road Company confirms this inn
preston. nj order to test this question
it would be necessary to bring an 2
nation in the name of the State and the
consent of the Attorney General must be
obtained to bring such action"
whether there is any way, by legal
proceedings, to compel the trolley COM
panies to render to our citizens any bet
ter service, is a very hard question to
answer. I'll is notorious that the trolley
companies, especially during rush hours,
render very poor service / think the
most effective course would be to apply
to the legislature for legislation which
would make clear the standard of eff.
cheney in service to which the companies
could be held, and to establish suitable
machinery of inspection and supervision.
If the action brought by the consent of
the Attorney General should prove sue
cessfulh the whole matter would then
be in the hands of the city, and in grant
ing new franchises the city could insert
such reasonable restrictions as would en-
abel the city to hold the companies to
a proper standard of efficient service.
Il have not yet completed my inves-
t4ation fthe chcarters of the telephone,
gas and electric lighting companies, but
will submit report on these companies
>as soon as possible.
