SEA ISLAND COTTON.

There was an active demand
throughout the week and during the
first days of the week there were
large transactions. Toward the end
offerings were so light that business
was restricted.
Although receipts included large
blocks of cotton accumulated in the
interior early in the season, they still
fell short Of the receipts OF last year
by about 800 bales. Exports were
nearly 1000 bales greater than receipts
and the stock Is now 1867 against
21,8l4 last year.
The crop in sight Is about IS, ZOO

DRY GOODS.

New York, Feb. 3.-Buying has not
been as liberal as in the last few days
in the dry goods market owing to the
uncertain condition of the raw cotton
market. While sellers showed no dis
position to weaken from their former
position, yet the utmost conservatism
is shown by both buyer and seller and
there seems to be no indications as to
what the future NAV have in store.

WARE A. LELAND
Advise Traders TO Only Buy on Big
Breaks.

New York, Jan. 3-The break was re-
sumed this morning. and May broke
through 16 cents, to 1880. This ment
loss of a cent and a half in two days
and many regarded this as a good
cleaning out. At IS cents there was
more or less support, and later on in
the day sharp reaction of about 30
points took place. In general there
of the market and now that Il Is evil
dent that the Sully interest is practi-
cally out Of the market, the change
that took place yesterday is likely to
be felt for some time.

they may not be forced to cover the

If the men who were long of cotton
through the local bull leader see
reasons for getting out, we can see no
good reason for buying. Prices are very
high and decline of 2 cents or 8 cents
would leave the price high and I'M
certain. The movement now is on a
fairly good scale. 1t is a bad market
and we would only buy on big breaks

KRUGER ORDERS POLICE
TO ENFORCE ORDINANCE
Attempt Made at Cleaning Down
Town Streets-Outside Districts
Are Untouched.
ALLEYS ARE FILTHY

Further enforcement Of the ordinance re-
quiring' the cleaning of snow from side
walks is promised by Superintendent of Po-
lice Kruger. 81 have instructed the men,
bers of the force" said the superintendent
last evening, Ito see that the ordinance is
enforced. and if 1t is necessary we will
make a number of arrests
Good progress was made yesterday in
cleaning the down town streets, but much
still remains to be done on outside streets.
A number of blocks in the business district,
on Washington, Illinois and other streets,
were flushed last night cleaning them of
mud and slush. The rain that fell
for great part Of yesterday and last night
aided greatly in this work.
Cleanliness of streets is not the only
thing that the police department is ex-
pected to see to. The Board of Public
Safety yesterday instructed Superintendent
Kruger to order his men to pay more at
tention to the condition of alleys and to see
that they are cleaned of ashes and rub
bish. Complaints indicate that there is
much room for Improvement in this direc-
ton in many parts of the city.

SAYS MOTORMAN GAVE
HIM 1.-THE COLD STARE'
Albert Johnson Complains and In
terurban President Has Fun
with Board of Works.

President F. NJ. Fauvre, of the Indianap-
oils Eastern Railway Company, injected
little humor into his hearing by the Board
of Public Works at yesterdays session, in
regard to the complaint made by Albert
Johnson, the Irvington banker, that a car
on the Indianapolis Eastern line failed to
stop at his signal at 6:25 o'clock on the
morning of Jan. 2 The matter was brought
to the boards attention by Mr.. Johnson,
and Mr.. Fauvre appeared to explain the
seeming failure of the motorman of the
car TO stop at signal, has been recently
ordered by the Board of Public Works. He
said that at the time stated binding
snowstorm was in progress and the mo-
torman did not see Mr. Johnson until It
was too late to stop the car.
''If the motorman," added Mr.. Fauvre
looked at Mr.. Johnson as he passed. with
a cold stare as Mr. Johnson puts 1t, then
il was because ne was amazed to see a
banker out in snowstorm so early in the
morning"
Mr.. Fauvre's explanation will be sent to
Mr.. Johnson, to see if it is satisfactory.

The programme for the afternoon con-
sisted of the reading and discussion of sew
eral papers, notable among which was one
on THE Passing of Indiana as a Lumber
State" by Henry COburn of this city. Mr..
COburn's paper aroused a great deal of in
tereSt and was pronounced one of the best
of the convention. In the forenoon the as
ISOLATION went into executive session, which
means that the meeting was held behind
closed doors and that the proceedings will
be known only TO members. 1t was stated,
however, that nothing of especial i'm
portance was done at this session.

members. a large class of noVitiates was
taken over the long and devious path that
leads TO complete knowledge of the mys-

ton there was a session on the roof, ="

FOR A SECOND
CAR LINE TO IRVINGTON
Residents Of Classic Suburb Say
English-Avenue Line Should
Be Extended.
NEEDS OF A COLLEGE

Three petitions bearing a total Of nearly
1000 names. were presented TO the Board
Of Public Works at its yesterdays meet
ing. asking for an extension Of the En-
glish-avenue street car line from its pres
ent terminus east to IrvingtOn. The desir-
ability of this Improvement was pleaded
before the board by committee consisting
of Prof T. c. Howe. of Butler College, r.
n. Miller, c. b. Clark. s. III. Smith. Carl
Koch. A. NJ. Bongam, w. A. Van Buren,
and G. NJ. Cross.
The first petition is signed by citizens and
property owners in that part of Irvington
lying south Of Washington street, and asks
for an extension of the English avenue line
from its present terminus TO some point on
English avenue at or near Line street in
Irvington. The petition recitcs that most
of its signers must walk from one-quarter
to one-half of a mile to reach the East
Washington street line.
The second petition is signed by residents
Of the territory lying south OF Washington
street and east Of the Belt Railroad, and
recites that this territory has ample
population TO justify better street car serv-
ice than il now has, besides the fact that
there two public institutions needing
street car service Butler College and the
Bona Thompson Memorial Library. 1t
suggests the feasibility of extension
TO Butler avenue, just south of the c, H.
& d. Railroad, or a line OF East WASH
ingtOn street at the Brookville road. out
the same road TO some terminus south or
the c., Fl. & l. Railroad.

OBJECT TO CREMATORY.
The Residents May Ask Court for
an Injunction.

Residents in the vicinity of the Flanner
& Buchanan undertaking establishment on
North Illinois street may bring suit to en-
join Flanner & Buchanan from completing
their proposed crematory which is now in
course of construction. A petiticl that
seeks TO bring residents of the vicinity
together on the proposition is now circu-
lating.
1t is claimed by those back of the move
ment that the crematory, while il might
not in itself be offensive. would decrease
the value of property in its immediate vi
cinity. Ii Is stated that one of the pc
titioners cOntemplates the erection of a
fat in the same square as the Flanner q
Buchanan establishment, and that he be-
lieves the crematory would seriously affect
the rental OF the building.
The crematory is nearly completed, and
the undertaking firm proposes TO go ahead
with the work until stopped, If at all.
