IMPROVEMENTS HELD UP.
Grout, Backed by Mayor, Calls Halt
for T'vO Weeks.

All assessment improvements We're voted from
the calendar of the Board of Estimate at yester
days meeting motion Of Controller Grout who
said he was not prepared TO vote TO increase the
citys indebtedness until his experts had prepared a
table showing the amount of uncollected and I'M
collectble assessments outstanding and for
which the city is liable. This action actically
stops all public improvements pending the report
from the Finance Department.
All the borough presidents opposed the motion.
President Littleton of Brooklyn condemned the
policy Of holding back improvements designed to
increase the assessable value of property. Mr.
Fornes voted with the Mayor and Controller.
The resolution took from the calendar all matters
that meant an expenditure of money and reduced
it from eighty-nine items to nine items. Physical
improvements alone called for 100000. and that
item does not include street openings and widen
ings. In two weeks Mr.. Grout hopes to be In a
position TO give the ngures showing the city's
obligations in assessments.
The Mayor STONED the protests of the borough
presidents with: THE chair has no desire to stay
improvements, but has to agree with the Controller
that may not expend money beyond the city
capacity and that ii will be wise TO wait until the
Controllers statement shows us how we stand.

TIP CAME TRUE.
Noe a Prophet Not Without Honor
IN WaU Street.

Whether or not as a result of his acting on his
own tip Thomas w. Lawson's provisional pre-
diction OF Thanksgiving Eve came true yesterday,
and he enjoys the distinction, novel to him.

after investigating this information he should find
it be correct, he would dump over his hold

Somebody dumped these stocks at about the

which might give rise to the suspicion that Law
sons well wlshers' were inclined to disregard his
appeal to them to "see that l get good prices"
Amalgamated opened 1855 and within the first
half hour had dropped to 6l4. although before noon
it got back to its opening level. Sugar, which

A. l. Jacobs, lawyer. No. "a Broad-st who

that the project nearly completed.
A number OF prominent steamship representa-

that il was absurd to connect his line with any
such removal. The North German Lloyd, the Hol-

BADLY BLOCKED
Mills Near Pittsburg Cannot Get
Products Handled Man Close.

Pittsburg. Nov. 25.-Six miles of freight cars.
loaded with products of the mills in the lower
Monongahela Valley. block the yards of the
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad at
the Homestead plant, and hundreds of other
cars are on tracks at other mills awaiting ship
ment. While the congestion is not complete and
some freight ia beng moved the production has
reached that point where the railroads are ser-
ousy handicapped in the way of motive power.
Efforts were made yesterday to clear the block
ade. but it was impossible TO send out more than
a small proportion of freight awaiting shipment.
There is also a serious shortage of cars.
The congestion has reached that point where
officials of the mills face a probable suspension
until relief appears. Yards leading in and out of
the mills filled with cars that should have
been moved days ago, while the plants have been
keeping up production because Of the demand
AS a result the shipping yards at Homestead
and Braddock piled with finished product
that should have been loaded and outbound over
a week ago
The same condition exists at the Duquesne
plants and the big yards in the vicinity Of Oliver
Hollow filled with loaded cars.
