NEW YORK; Oct. 17.-In the dry goods market operations are not materially in- creased, but firmness is the prime factor, sellers refusing to grant concessions. es- pecially on current purchases.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
RULING IS MODERATELY ACTIVE FOR
 THE DAY.
Alter Working Up to Advance of to Polnts. Selling on the Fart of the Bears Causes Decline
 in VaIues.

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.--The cotton market ruled moderately active and after some early irreguiarity was generally easier under selling promoted by reports of easier spot cotton in the South
 The opening was firm at unchanged prices to an advance of points Some private advices. however, indicated frosts in portions of the northern belt and there was talk of a cold wave and this seemed to supply buying motive that was acted upon to some extent by wire and commits sion houses. But after working up to 2 net advance of about 6@ points the market weakened under active selling by local bears and free offerings for the account or a leading spot interest. During the balance of the session there were occasional re- sessions as shorts took profits, but the gen. eral course of the market was ldownward and at the close prices showed net de- cline of 1o913 points. ;. The tone was steady. Sales were esti- mated at 250,oO bales. Business was again largely of professional character. Port receipts for the day were rather over ex- pectatiors and the discrepancy between in- terior receipts and shipments suggests fur- sher accumulation of stocks at interior points

WALLlSGFoRD

The matter of calling a special bor- ough meeting was up and disposed of at the meeting of the court of burgesses Tuesday evening.
 Borough Attorney Hubbard said he was present at the request of the war den to give his opinion relating to the calling of a special meeting on peti- tion of the Central Labor union, who asked that borough laborers be given an eight hour day with S1.75 pay and that. when a skilled mechanic is en- ployed. he be a union man and be giv- en union wages, and that borough citi- zens have the preference when labor was required Judge Hubbard said it was not oro1er nor legal to call the meeting. The freemen had nothing to do with the engaging of labor; that devolved upon the court of burgesses, the water commissioners and the cleo trical commissioners in their separate departments. and that there were cer- tain privileges and favoritism which were against the state constitution. Burgess Hale moved that the action taken at the previous meeting in call ing meeting be rescinded. This was seconded by Burgess Newton and car ried.
