NEW YORK LETTER

New York, Oct. 17.-Municipal ad-
ministrations in this country, particu-
larly in large cities, are not famous
for their economy. and II is safe to
say that nobody ever suspected the
municipal government of Greater New
York to be more economical than the
governments of other American cities.
AS a rule. figures showing the ex-
travagance of city administrations. are
more exasperating than sensational
except in some few instances. The
figures concerning the cost Of main
street however, are so extraordinary
that even the most pessimistic critics
of the administration find II difficult
to accept them as correct
According to the figures submitted
by Sheriff Erlanger to the board OF
estimate the cost of maintaining and
conducting the Ludlow street Jail rs
S100.750 a year, not including the
$40, GEO which constitute the sheriff S
salary At the present time there are
only three prisoners in the Jail, and,
according to the figures their mainte-
nance costs the city over $50 a day
FOR each prisoner. Once in a while
there are a few more prisoners IN the
jail. hut their number has not exceed
cd nine for over year.
Taxing the maximum figure as the
average. the cost OF maintaining the
prison would be about $40 a Day for
each prisoner. One of the local pa
pers has figured out that the city
could save about $45 day by sending
its prisoners, each accompanied by q
trusty guard. to the st. Regis Hotel
and board and lodge them there. The
prisoners and their guards could en-
| joy luxurious quarters, delicious meals
drink champagne with their meal'
and smoke fine cigars and 1t woult

su1LY CASE MAY BE REoPENED.
Referee Reports in Favor of Permitting
determination of Claims.

If the report of Macgrane Coke, referee
in bankruptcy, filed in New York, shall be
approved by Judge Holt, the entire Legal
proceedings connected with the failure OF
Daniel J. Sully, the former cotton king
may be reopened.
The opinion of Referee Coke is given
upon the application of Davies, Stone &
Auerbach, attorneys for two sets of Pc
titioners-Edwin Hawley and Frank H.
Ray, who have been sued by Sully's trus-
tees In bankruptcy for certain sums alleged
to have been lost through participation with
Sully in alleged cotton pools, and f. o.
Mccormick, L. F. Berg and Julius Kahn
non-cotton exchange creditors.
These petitioners brought up the following
questions:
Whether the amount, about 81 900, 600
paid out on Saturday, March 10, 1904. after
the failure. to cotton exchange creditors In
the form of margins deposited In banks
was preference. and so Illegal.
Whether the prices prevailing on Friday
March H. or Saturday March 49, in the
cotton market should determine what Is due
from the Sully estate to the creditors. and
Whether transactions of the cotton ex-
change are gambling transactions.
Referee Coke in his decision says:
Large sums Of money, 1t is alleged. were
paid by the bankrupt by way of margins
within four months and within very few
days of the bankruptcy, and 1t Is not I'M
reasonable that creditors who have not re-
cefved such sums should desire to examine
into the facts with view to ascertaining
as are known as preferential payments I'M
der the bankruptcy act. 1t does not seem
to me inequitable to permit a judicial In
veStigation into this matter

RECORD PRICE FOR BUTTER.
New York Consumers Paid Highest
Figure in Ten Years.

Butter Is higher in New York than it has
been at any time in ten years. The best
grades were selling Friday at 81 and IS
cents a pound. For these the dealers were
paying 80 and "a cents, the highest price In
ten years.
Even at these prices the supply is far
short of the demand, the greatest shortage
being in the better grades There were
only about 2250OO pounds received Friday,
and most of this was below the top grade
There Is considerable fault to be found
with the creamery, even when marked "ex-
ira % points" Dealers who supply the
most expensive trade, including the first
class hotels and restaurants. find difficulty
in buying the desired quantities of the
best quality. The effect of this rise In
price has been quite notceably to reduce
the quantity sold in the smaller shops, and
this. in turn, has forced dealers to sell at
a slight advance on wholesale rates. state
butter that cost them 81 cents being sold
for 33 cents. and imitation creamery, cost
ing % cents, being sold at an advance of
one cent.
Warm days will improve the grass food
In the west and reduction in prices may
be expected soon.
The egg supply, as usual. has reached its
maximum at the Easter time. and there
are eggs enough for all at reasonable prices.
The average retail price Friday was "A
cents a dozen. For these the dealers were
paying 90 cents. The best fancy selected
freshly gathered eggs are selling at whole
sale for 81 cents, and the best western at
from Is to 10 cents, the southern eggs be-
ing one cent a dozen less.
These prices are supposed to be at the
bottom, for the refrigerators are now lay
ing In their supply, so as to furnish fresh
eggs next fall and winter Receipts Friday
were 13.OO0,0OO eggs, and they disappeared
about as fast as they reached the Hudson
river During this week from four to hf-
teen carloads have been going into storage
houses on the other side of the river daily.
Most of these are the best selected stock.
It is estimated that there are now in the
homes of New York, for Easter consump-
ton, about 1900, 900 eggs.

Standard Oils Answer in Missouri.

A motion was filed in the supreme court
a jefferson City, Mo, yesterday by Attor-
ney General Hadley to strike out the plead
ings filed by the Standard Oil Company and
the Republic Oil Company to his informa-
ton alleging combination to control the
supply and price of oil in that state. These
pleadings deny the allegations set forth in
the information filed by the attorney gen
eral and at the same time attack the con-
stitutionality of the antitrust law. Attor-
ney General Hadley, in his motion, contends
that such pleadings cannot be filed in the
supreme court, and bases this contention
on decisions in the case of former Attorney
General Crow fire insurance companies
