MARKET FOR COTTON
RATHER A NERVOUS TONE WITH
 TRADING LESS ACTIVE.
Fluctuations Narrow and lrreguIar, But inc Close is Steady at a Net De- cltne of Two to Three Rotnfss
 Sales 17J,OO0.

New York, May 15.-The cotton mar ket showed ather a nervous tone to- day with trading less active and fIuc- tuations marrow and irregular. The close was steady at a net decline or 2ft3 points Sales for the day were es- ti1nated at 175000 bales. The openEg was steady at an advance Of 1m6 points and prices worked up to net gain of 4G6 points immediately after the call on covering of shorts market ,,s, and continued predictions of a buliish weekly bureau report at midday.
 The daily weather reports For the day were considered favorable, how ever temperatures being about sea- sonable with no precipitation of con seuuence and with the Scattering shorts pretty we'll covered on the opening bulge. Prices eased off toward midday under realizing and little selling from local bears. The weekly report proved a little less bullish than some had sx- damage from frost notably Tn North Carolina and the market was easier after its publication. The close was within d point or two of the lowest, though steaeied slightly by bull sup port southern spot markets were un- changed to 1-16c lower
 Receipts continued liberal but fnte- rfor shipments reflect loss Of stock at interior towns and exports have re- gently overrun the port movement

 The chief feature developed in the cotton situation today was the large spot sales at Liverpool. where sales of 14.000 bales were again reported. Cables said exporters fer and relatively cheaper to buy in that market than on this side. The stock of American cotton in Liverpool is now in the neighborhood of s9e.oOo bales. as compared with 100000 this time last year. Undoubt- edly good deal of the Liverpool stock is cotton held subject to the call of spinners cency the big inroads that are now being made on the available cotton in that market For the time being the spot demand has prices there rise to the proper parity. more activity than ever may be looked for in the local market. Today.s daily weather report no rainfall was needed. In South Texas where droughty conditions are complained of, little or no precipitation occurred.

 Despite more liberal receipts than had been expected. the oats market was steady Shorts were moderate bidders for the May delivery and with small offerings the price of that option was nearly f-2c higher. This had oullish influence on the more distant deliver les. Small contracts of contract oats in store in Chicago furnished the main incentive to buyers.

terday. And so, 1 was much surpris-

began to explain to me that he meant
no harm to anybody by the work, and
was only doing a public service. Yes,
it was George Castle who was having
the work done.
''An I ever said about it, anyhow,
was that I would go out there and see
what was being done, and that permits

datlon of the Honolulu Improvement
Committee that the Promotion Com
mlttee call a public meeting, at as
early a date as may be convenient, to
discuss Improvement matters and
arouse interest in lettering existing
conditions in Honolulu and that all
those persons who have been asked to
organize local Improvement clubs be
especially invited to attend
1t was the sense of this Committee
that such meeting would do much to
arouse interest, prevent misunderstand-
lngs and make clear many matters
which are perhaps now only imper-
fectly understood by those interested
IN the general movement.
Resolved, That it is the recommen-
dation of the Honolulu Improvement
Committee that in laying out the dis
trict to be covered by local improve
ment club. both sides of a given street
be included, and that where planting
along the street is undertaken, that
single species of tree be used for a
natural section, that is, one or more
blocks as the case may be.
1t was the sense of this Committee
in regard to the resolution that by
having both sides of a given street
much unnecessary friction would be
avoided and that it would be possible
to carry out plans for its development
and improvement far more easily than
if the street came under the combined
jurisdiction of two clubs.
Resolved, That it is the recommen
dation of the Honolulu Improvement
Committee that a zigzag path be built
up the face of Punchbowl, following
the ridge above the reservoir and
starting from the upper end of Alapai
street; and that few clamps of Night
Blooming Cereus and other succulent
plants be planted along such pathway.
Resolved, That Captain John Kid
well be requested to attend the meet
ing of the Promotion Committee to be
held on Tuesday next, and to be pre-
pared, if the members of the Promo
ton Committee so desire, to discuss
with them the ideas of the Improve
ment Committee in regard to the pro-
posed path up Punchbowl
Very truly yours,
RALPH S. HOSMER,
Secretary.
