subway suitable for the handling OF
immense traffic, The corporation do
ing the work has a capital of $50, 600,
600 and it will require large part of
that, if not all and more, to put the
entire system into operation. But
when running it should bring great
returns, as it is very probable that n
large part of the freight and trucking
business of the city will be done by
it. At present it is estimated that
Chicago merchants pay $50, 900, 600
annually merely for trucking to and
from railroad termiuals-a work
which it is expected the subway will
larp ely take upon itself. For the
road soon to be put in operation 1000
steel cars and 100 electric locomotives
are being installed Chicago is to
be congratulated on her subway for,
besides the financial benefits which
will undoubtedly accrue to the mer-
chants and business men, her streets
will be partially relieved of their
congestion, and with that will come
opportunity for improvement of those
streets which at present are none too
good in the business section. AS one
Chicago man puts it:
For Chicago at-large some patent
benefits will result-the ill-regulated
congestion of her streets will be re
lieved; her barbaric street.ca ser
vice encouraged to approach some
thing like reasonable speed the filth
of her disgraceful pavements lessened.
With the passing of present teaming
conditions, Chicago could asphalt her
downtown streets and might even be
induced to sweep them annually. The
tunnels will not only cause revo-
luton in traffic; they may work
reformation in Chicago's Indifference
to civic cleanliness. "

searches is abomnable. If the Ii
cense comm issioneTs honestly desire to
do their duty they are hampered by
the necessity of securing private citi-
zens to sign the complaints when the
place to be searched is dwelling
house, which it usually is, i'll whole
or part. IL they are not honest IN
desiring to do their duty. they can al
most entirely hold up all efforts of
other people to do it for them by re-
fusing to entertain complaints and
charges againgt licensees and others,
1t seems almost as though the law was
specially intended to be framed SO as
to be of little effect in the respect in
question. Rutland saw the effects
with license commissioners who were
inactive or worse Montpelier has
had conscientious commissioners, with
the results every, body knows License
was almost defeated and the chairmen
of the board resinged because he be-
lieved his work unsatisfactory
his belief was unwarranted.
Again, the trouble is not with the
men but with the law. The delusion
that license would bring the millen-
ium has been dispelled. The cold
hard fact that the experiment with
the open saloon has been dismal
failure is enforced upon the convic-
! ton even OF license men.

CHICAGO'S GREAT SUBWAY.

New York has. been engaged for a
few years in the construction of an
ger traffic. Throughout that time
the people Of the city have been dis
commoded and the streets have been
torn up, and in some sections made
dangerous and almost impossible as
result Of the WORK. Every little
while terrible accident has occurred
and many lives have been offered up.
Explosions and cave-ins have occurred
occasionally, while accidents because
of surface conditions have been noted
daily. The subway in process of con-
struction has been running sore in
the city against which everybody
rallied and of which everybody was
painfully conscious,
New York must take off her hat to
Chicago in tie subway business. In
the city by Lake Michigan twenty
miles of subway have heen built in
the heart of the business section with
out isturbing hardly stone of the
city pavements, without an accident
OF any consequence occurring as a
result of the work, and without a
complaint being made to the city au-
thorities by AUDITING land owners or
any body else. So quietly has the
construction gone forward that the
Chicago papers declare that great
many residents of the city knew
nothing about it until few days ago
when newspaper discussion became
rife The engineering has been
marvel of success, so far as it has
gone, whether considered from the
standpoint of the convenience of the
public or the economical expenditure
of money by the CON pany.
The cost Of the twenty miles of
tunnel already built is $4,000, 600,
while the hundred and twenty miles
still to be built will probably cost in
addition $l5, 600. 900. The equipment
of the part already finished is being
rushed and it is hoped that the sub
way will be in actual use before
August. And in the question of use,
Chicago appears to have done better
than New York OF Boston, or London
or Paris. Instead of building her
subway for passengers and leaving the
streets for freight traffic, she is max
! MI m fllsat l.
ness under ground and leave the
streets for passengers. Her solution
OF the problem Of over-crowded streets
appears more sensible, or at least more
agreeable to the public.
Moreover, it Is claimed that the
franchise under which the Chicago
subway is being built is the most
favorable to the city OF any privilege
ever granted to and accepted by cor
poration in this country. By it,
terms, five per cent of the gross
receipts 60 to the city during the frs
ten years of operation, eight per cenl
the second ten years, and twelve pei
cent thereafter until February 49,
1899, when the entire system will be
come the property of the city, free o
all liens and encumbrances. 1t i
said that this is the only subway il
any city in the world built by privat
capital without having its securitie
guaranteed by the municipality.
1t is tremendous undertaking
one which can hardly be appreciated

WALL STREET BEARS
FORCED FUTURES DOWN.

New York, oct. 26.-Thc cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of 2
points to an advance of 2 points. In
fluences were conflicting. Cables were
poorer than expected. while the
weather as reported by the early map
was considered unfavorable, owing to
more or less general rains and fore
casts for cold weather in the western
belt. At first prices responded to the
cables, but before the call was com
pleted it became evident that there
was little better buying movement
through commission houses, and May
opened higher, while the whole list inl-
mediately following the call moved up
and before the end of the first hour
showed gains of about 4Q7 points.
After the initial bulge the market
ruled generally weak under Wall street
bear pressure, selling of hedges by
leading spot interests, liquidation and
selling orders from Liverpool, where
sentiment was affected according to
private reports by an estimate of the
crop, placing it as over 1900, 600 bales.
The market closed within a point or
two of the bottom, at a net decline of
sob points. The final tone was stead
led by the covering of room shorts
Sales were estimated at 235, 900 bales.

New York, Oct 26-It looks to US
as though the bears had made a good
turn on the census report. which was
given a bullsh Interpretation at first.
The advance of 8 94c this morning was
utilized for the purpose of putting out
fresh short lines, which in turn ap-
peared to be covered or partially So,
following the decline to 9.75c, for that
position. had the whole fuctuation
looks like a good scalp and nothing
more. with commitments back to about
where they stood prior to the issuing
of the report. Bad weather in the
South helped to steady the market at
the opening and brought about the
early advance in spite of the disap-
pointing cables, which we understand
were affected by the Neill estimate,
placing the crop at over 100000. The
main thing, however, appeared to be
the fear that further instruments Of
the census report would not make so
favorable showing from the bull stand
point, and the trade doesn't know when
to expect the next report. One may
be issued later to-day. AS most of
the counties reporting yesterday We're
in states where picking did not be-
gin as early as compared with last
year in the bulk of the counties yet
to be heard from, it may be that the
report as whole is misleading Al
lowing something for this fact, it hard
ly seems that more than 6,00O,000 bales
were ginned to Oct. Is, and accord
ing to estimates of the proportion of
the crop already picked and remain
ing to be ginned, this in our opinion
amply confirms small crop estimates.
For the immediate future, however,
it bids fair to be an old fashioned mar
ket with a tagging tendency in the
absence of aggressive bull speculation
and the hedging sales of importers.
Eventually it will prove bull market.

WARE a LELAND
Say Break In Market Was to Be
Expected.

Expected.
New York, Oct. Pas was to be
expected after the sharp reaction of
S5 points the market broke rapidly
after the early advance. Every one
expected it and as long as traders con-
tinue to get the swing of the market
their views are the best to be had.
1t may be the professional element will
be all wrong in the end, but for the
time being their views are to be treat
ed with consideration. There was moth
ing to account for the break from
8 94c to 9.75c, for January this morn
ing. any more than the account OF
the rise yesterday. When the trad
ers who were all for an advance yes
terday. said the price was high enough
this morning and started to sell. that
was the signal for drop. Every one
sold at once, and the break was as
rapid as the advance Generally the
market can be counted on for a crack
after a rapid advance of 30 or 40 points
at this season of the year. We may
have a further break or 9la cents may
be bottom for the present. If the
movement begins to diminish, and there
are reasons for believing the maximum
figures have been reached, steadiness
is more than likely. There is too much
cotton for sale to give a bull much
encouragement. For this reason profits
should be taken on every reaction.

COTTON PICKERS
BUSY IN FLORIDA.

Jacksonville, Fla. Oct. 26.-The
weekly crop report of Section Director
Mitchell for the week ended Oct. "a,
issued to-day, says:
1.-THE week was dry and generally
favorable over the cotton counties for
picking cotton, which was pushed with
energy. The bulk of the crop has been
gathered. although a few fields need
immediate attention; pickers are scarce
in some sections and work is thereby
retarded. The tropical storm that pre-
vailed during the first and middle of
the week over southern and central
portions did much damage to vegeta-
bles on low lands. Some pineapples
and citrus fruits also suffered to some
extent"
