NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

New York, March 13.-The cotton
market was active and weak during to-
days trading with the close barely
steady at a net decline of IS TO %
points. Sales for the day were estiniat-
ed at $50, 900 bales. The opening was
barely steady at a decline OF ; to &
points in response to lower cables .han
expected; reports of more urgent offer
ings of low grades in Liverpool and
continued buying receipts. There was
active buying from the start by n
of the large Broadway houses and COW
ing of shorts, but there was a good
deal of cotton for sale and prices con-
tinued to decline after the opening.
Two or three times during the day
there We're slight rallies on covering,
but there seemed to be no signs of re-
turning confidence. Shorts were able
to cover freely on a scale down and the
market closed at practically the lowest
point of the day, representing a decline
of about 43 to 48 points from the high
est of last Friday. Business seemed to
be largely local and the fact that con-
siderable blocks changed hands made
it look as if the buying operations were
shifting their position. Liverpool raj
a seller of the old crop months during
the early session. Unsettled condi-
tons in stock market circles probably
aided the decline, which was accom-
panied by rumors that the bull lead
ers were ~liquidating and hat spot cot
ton "a Offering more freely in the
south. Southern spot markets were
unchanged to 1-Sc lower. The weather
continued seasonable.

No primary or election in recent
years created as much interest as did
that held yesterday. Efforts had been
made by the supporters of all the can
didates to poll their full strength.
Voting began early in all the wards
and continued practically without in
PERMISSION till the polls closed. Es-
p~ecially rapid and steady was the vot-
ing in the Fifth ward.
From reports and umO from the
different wards received frequently dur
ing the day, it appeared that the race
was very close, Moore being in the lead
several times according to reports. The
most surprising rumor, which would
have shown that a political upheaval
had occurred, was that Moore was
ahead in the Third ward, always re-
garded as Springer's stronghold, and
that he would carry that ward. These
reports continued until the official
count had become known. Further
surprises Were in the results of the
First and Fourth wards, which it had
been believed, would give majorities
for Moore. The Second was always
regarded as close and the Fifth being
uncertain, both candidates claiming
and hoping, but neither certain of that
ward.
The executive committee met at the
city hall at 1880 last night with the
following members present: Chairman
kellum, and Messrs. l.. B. Rogers, 9.
w. Worth, S. l.. P. Anderson, Henry
Fennell, H. T>Bauman, J. VanB. Metts,
and W. G. Brinkley. Official reports
were received early from the Second.
Third, and Fourth wards. The First
ward report anne in at 8 o'clock anu
it was about 10 o'clock when the Fifth
ward report was received.
The only matter, aside from the
count, brought to the attention OF the
committee was a protest by Mr.. r. J.
Shepard, on behalf of Mr.. s. J. Ellis, a
candidate in the Third ward, that there
nao been a miscount in the votes for
aldermen, and another count was
asked for. The committee opened the
Daliot boxes and their count confirmed
the report turned in by the poll holders
and registrars.
After all the wards had been heard
from and the reports tabulated. the
result was announced to quite a gather
ing of citizens who had patiently wait
ed for several hours to get official in
formation.

JAPANESE AND AMERICAN SAL
ARIES

If any one would know the reasons
impelling the japanese to emigrate in
large numbers to the Pacific coast and
other spots in the United States, a
glance at the military salary list of
japan will afford enlightenment. The
pay of the acknowledgement of the
United States army is $1,000 per an
num-; the pay of a major general.
$500; of a %brigadier general, $500;
of a colonel, $4,000; of a captain noun
ted and of a chaplain and various 9th
er o~.ieers, such as regimental adju-
tants, $4,000 per year.
The japanese year book, just issued,
shows that the commanding general OF
the japanese army, when serving with
the c%olors, receives the princely salary
of $500, and a like amount for ex-
traordinary expenses, or a total of
