SULLY IS
 CONFIDENT.
Expects to Resume
 Business Soon.
Conference Held To-Day But No Statement Given Out-Failure of London
 Broker Announced on Stock Exchange To-Day

New York, March 21.-Members. of the cotton brollera ge firm of D. !. Sully x company, who made an assignment Saturday, were in conference early to- day with MT Cutcheon, counsel for the firm. Counsel for Joseph H. Hoadley, the assignee, when asked for state ment said he did not think there would be anything to make public until after the meeting of the creditors late this afternoon. The hope of resumption of business by Sully & company rests with the creditors, among whom there is said to be a desire to help Sully to his feet. This will be accomplished, it is thought, by the appointment of David Miller as assignee, through whom an effort will be made to re- establish the business.
 As MT Sully entered his office he said:
 q am sure I will resume very short ly,'' adding that no statement of as sets or liabilities would be ready until after the meeting of the creditors to- day. MT Cutcheon made the following statement later:
 tsThe statement of assets and lfa- bilities is being prepared in Mir Sully's office. People generally and even the cotton exchange element have but lit tie idea what tremendous job is ill- volved in the preparation of this state ment. It is doubtful, though, whether this mass of work can be finished to- day"

WOULD DISTURB MARKET.
Payment i'm Cash of Purchase Price to
 London Dock Companies.

London, March 21-The impolicy of the clause in the Port of London bill providing for the payment to the exist ing dock companies of the purchase price of their property i'll cash, was forcibly presented to the president of the board of trade, Gerald Baifour, this morning by small but very in- fuential deputation of bankers, he added by Lord Rothschild. Unless the clause is altered it would necessitate the raising of about $1S5, 100000 in cash. This, as Lard Rothschild point ed out. could hardly be accomplished without a serious disturbance of the London money market. He declared that the numerous large issues of stocks, both government and municipal of recent years had disturbed the Lon- don money market with the result that the price of all government and municipal stocks had fallen consider ably. The issue of a further large amount of stock to raise the necessary cash for the dock purchases must fur ther depreciate securities and unneces- sarily disturb the money market. Lord Rothschild therefore urged that the compensation be paid in guaranteed port stock, instead of cash.
 The president of the board of trade said the views of the bankers coincid- ed with his own and that everything possible would be done to avoid an unnecessary disturbance of the money market.
 
 The port of London bill is to estab- fish port and dock authority for Lon don. It follows the recommendations of the royal commission in regard to the acquisition of docks and proposes the expenditure of $12, 2,5OO,O0O TOT deepening the Thames and the estab- lishment of a board of control, empow- cred to purchase docks and ware houses. The London county council is to guarantee the interest on the money borrowed for this purpose.

would lead their ticket by a
LARGE NUMBER OF VOTES
but that the straight Republican
vote should reveal itself to this ex-

Their highest claim was that the
normal Republican majority in the
city was about 500, and the ma
lority claimed for the ticket was
about Loco. The Democratic nomi-
neca for these offices were regarded
as unusually strong and popular

that tho Republicans went down the

10 show that no party weakness was
