New Orleans, May 3.-Spot cotton
quiet and weak; demand limited. Sales
OPS bales, including coo to arrive
and 200 f. o. b. Prices reduced Is.
Futures opened dull and to 8
points down. Soon after the first de-
cline there was an advance that car
ried prices slightly above yesterdays
closing figures, due to covering by
shorts who feared the crop reports and
some buying by longs. The weekly
crop reports had no apparent effect on
the market, the condition being as
expected. In the trading July lost 10
points at 1875, advanced to 1887 and
declined to 1878 and finally advanced
to 1889. The market closed steady,
the old crop months being one point
down to five points up while the new
crop positions were to points.

Mr.. Nordstrom's Ideas.

Councilman Nordstrom still ,cllngs to
his belief that the council should make
the purchase. He points out that the
city has paid $4,000 for hall site and
will be required to pay an additional
$1,000 for street Improvements around
the property. 1t will be necessary for
the council to transfer $4,000 from the
general fund to the city hall fund In
order to provide the money necessary
for the construction of the hail. and
in this way the indebtedness will be
increased $4,000, according to Mr..
Nordstrom's figures The hall must he
built just as quickly as possible, SO
the council will have no opportunity
to accumulate fund before the build
ing is completed except by making the
transfer.
II believe we should buy the F'lavel
brick" said Mr.. Nordstrom yesterday
purchase OF the city hall site at Six
teenth and Exchange is concerned, we
need not further cripple ourselves f.
,naneially. If the Flavel proposition
will be a better one for the city than
the proposal for the construction Of a
new city hall, then we should accept
it. Many property holders have come
to me and urged me to use my influence
to bring about the purchase. One Of
the wealthiest men of the city today
told me that the Flavel property would
increase enough in value within the
next five years to enable the city to dis
pose of it at a price which would per-
nit Of the building Of a hall costing
$4,000. So many favorable express
sions came to me that l secured an
option from Captain FIayel on the
property. The option win hold good
until the 21st inst. I shall present the
matter at the special meeting of the
council Monday night"

The feature of the session outside
the election of the officers was the Sc

Milwaukee on July IL, and who will
look to the interests of the resolution
passed by the convention here asking
for the consolidation of the Pacific

BILE by delegates from both the United
States and the Dominion Of Canada.
Besides Everett, there were two candi-
dates for the next convention-Port-

general favorite, and the poll of the
votes of the delegates gave the con-

that II the city undertakes the con-

run up to $4,000 before IL Is COM

There will be considerable objection
TO the location OF the city jail In the
