EDENDALE WANTS USE
OF ALESSANDR0 STREET
Property Owners Lay Their Wishes
Before Board Of Public Works,
with Promise of Ad-
justment

The board of public works held hear
ing yesterday in connection with the de-
mand of the residents of Edendale for
sian park, now monopolized by the Pa
cific Electric cars
The street is narrow at that point, some
streets are crossed by the company with
out a franchise because it owns a pri-
vate right of way over some strips, and
altogether Edendale insists on immediate
relief.
1t is believed the controversy can be
adjusted, as intimations of that charac-
ter have been made to Councilman e. A..
Clampitt of the Second ward.

The Poet

He sang of war; he burned mems blood
to spill,
And yet he could not bear a fly to kill,
Ecstatic verse in woman's praise he
made,
Though of all womankind he felt
afraid;
For such as loved not Natures charms
he wept,
While to the crowded city streets he
kept;
But longed for things that wealth
alone could buy;
And the whole world praised, to his
shameless glee,
Not what he was. but what he'd hate
to be.

HENRY CLEWS
 WEEKLY LETTER Operations on the Stock Exchange Have Been of a Dull and Insignificant Character.
BULLS ARE FAVORED
One of the Most Depressing lnflu- ences on the Stock Exchange Is the Continued Issue of New Securities No Advance in Stock Market.

New York, May 1S.-Operations on the stock exchange have been of a dull and Insignificant character Spec ulation for the time being appears to have been largely diverted to wheat and cotton. \ backward spring has undoubtedly been the cause of consid erable damage to the wheat crop and acreage has been diminished Of course few weeks of favorable weather would quickly compensate for much of the damage thus far re- ported and there is no doubt that much of the acreage already plowed mp will be planted in corn or other crops. Nevertheless, for the time be- ing facts are on the side of the bulls in wheat, and the speculative follow ing, which is considerable, readily jumps into the first favorable stream There is a large supply of wheat left over from last season, and indications do not point 10 any serious shortage, although crop reports from abroad are also somewhat unfavorable Cotton has been strong, mainly owing to the enormous consumption of the staple, the backward condition of the crop and tbe probability of only an aver age increase in the acreage Although a wet and backward season is ad verse to some crops 1t should be noted that 1t is extremely favorable to hay and oats, and big hay crop will go far towards making good all known deficiencies in wheat.
 One of the most depressing influ- ences on the Stock Exchange is the continued issue of new securities Some of the most reliable estimates indicate that st,000, ,0O00 ,000 securities have been authorized since January first, and of this amount about $600,- GOO, 300 have been issued the latter amount consisting largely of short term notes by railroads. These de- mands for capital coming upon an al ready Over-taxed market account for much of the present depression in Wall Street. There is plenty of money in the country; it is capital that is scarce. the floating supply of the lat ter having long ago been practically exhausted and no time allowed for it's replenishment. As it is, the railroads are practically seizing all the avail able new capital that is offered. Their wants are imperative in order 10 en- able them to meet the enormous traf- fic forced upon them from all parts of the country. Of course, these out lays mean active employment for la bor, and the demand for structura
 materials continues, promising to lasl until railroad facilities have caught
 up with demands. General business continues on an active scale. While there has been a partial cessation O. the launching of new enterprises, ow
 ing very largely to conservatism O
 banking interests, the productive ca
 pacities of the country are still full,
