 The opening was easy at decline of 4@1o points in response to much lower cables than expected and official weather advices failing to show the expected rains There seemed to be some effort on the part of local bulls to check the decline soon after the opening. but selling orders came in from practically all directions in- cluding Liverpool. where the market con- tinued easy after the local opening and New Orleans.
 Private advices as to the new crop also seemed less pessimistic and local bears were emboldened to sell quite freely. with the result that before midday prices were off to a net loss of about l0Q13 points. There was q rally of about points from that level just before the weekly bureau report was read on covering The summary of the report made srather bullish reading. but had been discounted or was less bullish than expected. and when the details of the report were published showing fully as fa- vorabIe an outlook as indicated by the sum mary the market then broke under more or less general selling and liquidation.

Fire Chief to Be Elected.

Governor Browards act in this morn ing signing the measure providing for an amendment of section ST of the Pensacola city charter makes the office Of Chief of the Fire Department of this city an elective one, and some in- terest was locally attached to the news coming from the State capital today which states that the first cleo tion will have to take place in the usual order of things in next months general election. This means that there remains but a week for the candidates to qualify, since the Council will hold a meeting on May 16 for the purpose of making up the ticket to be voted on June G. : The present chief of the department was elected in January of this year in the usual manner. This Is done by the Board of Safety. the branch of the city government having control of the po- lice and fire departments. There was heard some dissatisfaction with the manner in which the head of the fire department was chosen, the claim be- ing made that the office was too impor- tant to be filled by the board. which is made up of the Mayor and three un- salaried members. This sort of argu- ment seemed to have carried some weight, for the measure went through quietly and without opposition, and was favored by both representatives from this county. It was introduced in the Senate by MT. Blount of this city. and in the House of Representa- tives by MT. J. c. Avery, also of this city.
