CoLER AND METZ DISAGREE.
Controller Charged with Playing Politics by
Borough President.

As usual, Borough President Coler and Controller
Metz exchanged few verbal blows at the meet
ing yesterday OF the Board Of Estimate and APP
portionment. Mr.. Coler brought up his request
for transfers which had not been granted, and as
result had caused the suspension of a number of
employees in the bureaus of sewers and public
buildings and Offices A statement which he said
came from the Controllers office incensed him
greatly he said it intended political pur-
poses.
At this point Controller Metz begged deny
fathership of the statement, but Mr.. Coler still
persisted that It had the effect. as it came
from mis- rivals office. At MetZ's request his pre-
liminary report Colers request was read In
place IT said:
1T is self-eyident that If account can stand
the transfer from II much was asked OF
Board of Estimate and Apportionuent for that
The history of the account absolutely
10 show the necessity for such extravagant ex-
penditure"
The Controller says the responsibility for the ex-
haustion OF a years appropriation in ten months
must rest with MI Coler and not with the Board
Estimate

Transfer COMPROMISE.

Facing the danger of losing their franchises in

bind the franchise agreements which were broken
recently by the naugurating OF the 15-cent fare to
New York, Receiver Sutherland, of the 1onkers

Warren. He proposed that If the city will name
its franchise condition requiring an Scent fare to
any part Of New York. he would ask the courts
permission to make agreement between the city
and Yonkers Railroad Company and the Union
Railway Company to carry passengers from any
place in Yonkers to Kingsbridge on the South
Broadway line for a single fare of five cents each
way.
Nothing whatever is said in the letter about the
changing of the rates on the Fordham and Jerome

lines are not included in the agreement the pro-
nosal will be refused Mayor Warren said that he
would agree 10 no proposal that did not give the

London Stock Market.

London September 12.-The feature of the weeks trading on the stock exchange was the satisfactory arrangement of the heavy settlement, especially in the kanirs section. This section continued to att tract increased attention from American as well as continental and local sources at improving prices and 1t finished the week higher, in spite of considerable profit taking.
 While the settlement naturally restrict ed the general business, cheap money brought an inquiry from the good yield ing securities. Consols shared in the gen. eral betterment but they lost their im- provement and closed unchanged
 Home rails, however, which dragged the greater part of the week finished quite brisk. Paris operations lacked spirit during the four days of the week. especially among foreign bonds, owing to the Moroccan situation, but increasing attention later caused a substantial rally especially in Russian and Japanese bonds, while reports of improving conditions in the iron and steel trades brought a steady rise in these shares Activity pre- vailed in the American section of the market where the support of Wall street continues to be pronounced. This was supplemented by continental operations especially among the low-priced issues dHtouS Wiiicu IhiS dho oouthSih oSihS were the features, owing partly to the shortage of stock. Today there were some rather sharp setbacks accompanied by irregularity, from the advance of yesterday on adverse Wall street news and today the features Of an unfavor- able New York bank statement, together with dear money, helped the bears to depress the market which finished quiet. Erie was and Southern Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio each ? points dearer, but the other securities show little change on the week. In view of tho South American and Egyptian gold re- quirements and tho fact that the Bank of England still falls to get the gold arrivals, the discount market made a valiant attempt to advance discount rates. It succeeded, however, only tenn porarily, owing to the abundance of money.
