The street committee began
Thursday having dirt and pieces
of broken brick placed in the
middle of Jefferson street to fill
up the center and low places.
When this part of the work is
completed, it is to be hoped that
the committee will make an
effort to grade the street, open
the bitches on each side and get
a proper fall so the bitches will
drain thoroughly.

New York. May 26.-lThe cotte,;

But 1t was evident that the market had been sold quite heavily on yesterdays break and with the triple holiday approaching shorts showed a disposition to cover, which soon steadied the market and during the middle and late sessions prices showed a generally firm undertone, creeping gradually upward Around 11.S1 for July there was heavy selling by q house with German connections and a slight setback but later room covering ffrmed the market up again with July selling at 12.s5 and October at 12.S0. The close was 4 or points off from the best and steady at a net decline of 3 points to an advance of points. Trading was not active, sales being estimated at only 100000 bales and transactions seemed to represent evening up rathen than the putting out of fresh ventures.

 NEW ORLEANS. May 26.-Ttere was no material change in the surrounding fea- lures pertaining to cotton. Much was said and thought of in connection with prospec- tive operations of leading traders on both sides, but the fluctuations stood for little more than the effect of miscellaneous trans actions. Reports had it that a large op- orator on the short side in New York had been liberal buyer the decline and was desirous of completing this liquidation while on the other hand 1t was hinted that New Orleans bulls were quietly buying at each concession and accumulatir1 a line or July contracts in the metropolis far in excess of ability to fill deliveries in that market. In fM;t the atmosphere was so full Of cross currents as related to probable ma nipulative tactics, that one from sheer pru- dence would be constrained to avoid the summer months for speculative purposes It is very perceptible that trading in these options is daily diminishing and working toward spot basis, unless prepared to receive or deliver actual cotton, traders should rigidly abstain from commitments In any months this side of September New crop options are guided chiefly at precent by weather conditions and attention is cen tered on the Eastern belt for signs of an early rainfall. On any firm periods the new crops will furnish tempting opportunities for sales.

 Futures opened quiet at decline of from to points. Liverpool and New York were disappointing, both being lower. Of- feringsf were free after the opening and prices were driven down. The wealth CT map again unfavorable in the eyes of bulls and conservative traders. No rain fell in those districts where rain is badly needed. in spite of the confident predictions made yesterday. The bears were still sell ing winter months, however, and prices were weighed down by the selling. It is said that exporters and spinners have been buying the winter months heavily of late and that any sharp upturn would find of- feringH in any position scarce. In the trad ing July lost 12 points at l2 S2 and recov- cred to 12 93. October lost points at 10. As and recovered to 10. 55. The market closed steady. May lost net 16 points June 1f.

VIRGIN FAUNcE's COTTON LETTER.
 (OYer Private Leased Wire

NEW YORK. May 26.-There was a steady opening to the cotton future market today. but the trade generally was rather quiet. The first prices were to 10 points lower for the old crop months and 1 to 6 points lower on the new crop options. On the lower prices there was fair buying of July cotton for outside account and wire houses were credited with having good buy ing orders at prices slightly below those current. The cables were disappointn nr showing considerable weakness and the lo- cal market, considering the action abroad was encouraging to some of the more con- fident longs The early weather map was somewhat disappointing, since it showed an absence of rain in the Atlantic States The forecast. however pointed to showers in that district and naturally the longs were not inclined to, push their position very much. The short interest in the market was figured to be Very extensive and under the circumstances the bull interests were not inclined to liquidate. inasmuch as they felt that with little work they might be able to get the shorts to cover. The trading was not very active Southern operations today were not especially significant though many prominent operators were disposed to wait on developments in the New Orleans market. The spot markets were steady and quiet with a small offering and light de- mand. The late market was dull and mar row. The estimated port receipts for the day were 5000, against 4.si5 for the same day last year.

CHfCAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
 CHICAGO. May 2s.--Nervous suspense characterized wheat trading today as a re- suit of uncertainty concerning what might De done regarding supposed open trades of John W. Kaufman. suddenly deceased. In consequence business was restricted and price changes were narrow. July closed hc higher; corn Sc higher; oats %c higher and provisions from 1oc to 2oc up.
 For period at the start, wheat exhib- tied firm undertone. July opening H o Mc higher at s6k 6S6%. The question of the amount of Kauffman's short interest in May exerted the first considerable bullish infiu- ence, offsetting temporarily the effect of increased Northwest receipts and contin- ued favorable weather. May was strong for a time and deferred futures reflected part of the strength. Steady cables also tend ed to support prices. Primary receipts were much larger and crop report issued at Cincinnati was quite bearish. Trading in general was rather light and during the latter part of the day prices fluctuated er- radically within a narrow range. The mar ket closed firm with July at ssk after and e7. and closed at 9sR Clearances equaled 100000 bushels. Primary receipts were 544.s00 bushels. against 522.200 a year ported 132 cars. against 5s last week and 166 year ago.
 The unsettled weather and conflicting claims as to the probable movement fin the near future made trading in corn rather hazardous and in consequence the volume of business was extremely light. Under the in- fluence of heavy rains throughout the corn belt, corn shorts covered, holding prices firm the entire day. July opened kc'to L a sc higher at 4s to 4sM B4sK, sold off to F% GAS and closed at 4SK. Receipts 305 cars 31 contract grade.
 The monotonous duilness of trading in other grains was relieved by the activity in oats There was liberal buying credited to a big provision interest. Offerings were light causing strong tone during the lat ter part of the session. July opened un- changed to a shade higher at 3sk to 3sh o 38A, sold between 3s and 3s and closed at 3SA. Receipts. 134 cars
 Covering by shorts marked the trading in provisions Small hog receipts and higher prices were incentives. Heavy shipments of meat were cn additional bull factor. The market closed at about the highest of the day with July pork up 20c at il 35; July lard 12hc higher at 6.5 50 and ribs 1oc high CT at e.571k.
