BE 1batco. G.
Yesterday afternoon The Board of

smith and attended TO some impOg-
tant matters. sr-
Dr. J. W Mofett the secretary OF
the meeting. was instructed and au-
thorized to write 20 the Gainesville

tent Of the scarlet fever aud diph-
iberia in their cty. and what precau-
tlous they were takins to suppress
the same.
The board then took up the Para
disc alley nuisance. and the following
resolution to De presented at the next
meeting Of the city council was
adopted:
I'VE. the Board Of Health Of the
city Of Ardmore. do hereby request
the honorable mayor and city council
Of the city Of ArdmOre to lake the
necessary steps to have the proper
drain placed under all the buildings
on the south side OF Main street from
the cold storage house to Caddo
street. because under every one Of
these buildings there constantly
stands dead and foul water. which is
menace TO the health Of those who
occupy those buildings and TO the
nelghborhood surrounding them. And
we feel that Il is a duty that the may
or and city council owe to the citi
zens Of Ardmore for the preservation
Of their health
o. And that It is necessary that
the mayor and city council abate the
nuisance arising from the sewerage
Of Paradise alley and all It's connec
tions. and the Wilmington hotel ant
the United States jail, unless they
wish 70 endanger the health Of "a,
city Of Ardmore hy inviting these nuis
ances. The same deadly and fata
epidemic may scourge us as Gaines
vile s now scourged And 10 see q

able goods in the building occupie,

"3 And further that the city an
thorltics see to the immediate remoya
of the carcasses placed near the road
side Of many Of the roads leading int
the city Since there IS no question
that the decaying animal matter i
the cause Of typhoid fever, and tina
our city having and using only sur
face water. these endanger the III
Of every citizen and may create

The above resolution was unani
mously adopted by the board and vii
be presented to the city council for fl

TSpegta to The Advertiser.
 NEW ORLEANS. Aug I4-Liverpool ad- vices were better than looked for, consequently our market opened 2a4 points higher and sub sequenty advanced 416 points additional later on fresh buying predicated on Washington re- ports that the tropical storm Is apparently cen- tered over the Gulf. near the north coast of Hucatan, the future course being uncertain owing to absence of advices from that region. IL Is thought' that during the next 24 hours it may materialize all along the east Florida. South Atlantic and Cuban coasts. Realizing near the close caused slight easiness. making the net gain points August and on the other months. Scattered showers were report ed from all sections of the belt. except in East ern Texas. It is predicted that unsettled weather win continue over this district tonight and Saturday. Showers will occur over the greater portion of the district. Rains will probably take place along the Gulf coast by Saturday night as a result of the tropical storm. The steadiness apparent today was due to the uncertainty as to the course of the storm In the Gulf and the absence of sellers There seems to be a disposition to await future de- velopments before entering into fresh engage ments In the meanwhile splnpers and out sders are apathetic in consequence of the un- favorable textile trade conditions and good crop prospects Sentiment. however, is very buIllsh. Therefore we continue to advocate the pufrchase of late months on all decided breaks and suggest taking profits on steady periods.

lBy Private Wire from Gilbert & Clay. NE WoRLEANS. Aug. l4.-There was a de- cided lack of activity throughout the entire session of today's cotton market and barely enough trading to keep the records alive. all though the undertone was one of strength and tcrday's close. The visible figures to be pub lished this evening point less bearish, the in sight for the week according to Superintendent King is 5,696 against 9l ,878 last year; the total for the season lo.76S. 392. against Io.- 6o6, PAS. New York's certihcated stock to- night is 5i 347 The Gulf storm has moved to the western portion of the Gulf and the To- cal observer says rains will possibly set in by Saturday night Excessive rains or any other visible supply may expect to begin increas-
 ing or has tendency to delay early receipts . attracts more than usual attention and at pres ent 1t is strictly a weather market. Say that the visible supply of American on Sept. Ist Is 500. 900 bales, of which 250. 900 Is of in ferior and unstable grades. leaving the supply sufficient to meet consumption some 8 days, free movement would materially relieve the situation and should early receipts prove self in an awkward position. Bremen Is re- ported as shipping 3.AOo hales to New York today for delivery on August contracts and we hear of other shipments to be made. The pinch will undoubtedly be felt severely on the other side of the Atlantic for the near posi- tions. Aside. from a stimulating effect the Winter positions will answer more readily to crop accounts and with the September bureau report hanging the situation, the steadt- support Is remarkable and those options in the absence of country support is remarkable and forciby demonstrates the danger attendant on bearfsh operations.
