DIFFICULTIES IN
GRADE SEPARATION
WORK ON EAST SIDE MORE TROu.
BlEsOME THAN ON WEST
SIDE.

In preparing plan for grade sop
aration east of Woodward-ave., the
city engineers ONCE is discovering
obstacles that have not been met with
In west-side separations, due to the
built up nature Of the district and the
nerrowness of the streets. There are
number of factories built to the
street line adjoining the railroads,
and 1t will be grave problem to give
them access to the street. The sitna
ton tends to show that these separa.
tions will be much more expensive to
the city than any others undertaken
So far only the levels have been taken
and the full plan will not be out for

NEW LOW RECORDS
 IN COTTON PRICES Lowest Figures For the Year
 Are Finally Touched ALL REPORTS ARE BEARISH Slight Covering Occurs Near the Close, But Not of Sufficient Volume To
 Better Prices, Which Close Very Low.
ILL REPORTS ARE BEARISH

New York, March 1S.-The cotton mar ket made low records for the movement again during today's trading and closed barely steady at decline of to Is points. Sales were estimated at 600 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points and after some ht- tie irregularity worked up to a net gain of to points on relatively steady cables which suggested thal bearish spot news had been exaggerated, covering of shorts and some local buying on the reaction theory. But demand lacked aggressive ness, every one seemed to be more anx- ious to get out of their holdings, and the market broke sharply after midday un- der selling by spot houses, local bear pressure and liquidation by early buyers. many of whom seemed inclined to double up on the short side. May sold off to 10.10c and July to 9.87c, or 16s to 1T4 points below the high figures of last January. There was some covering at the close but demand was not sufficient to cause any rally worth mentioning. Reports of weak holders in the south seemed to be the main bearish factor and advices were re- ceived from Memphis and some sections in Alabama stating that as result of a very slack demand from spot buyers, cot ton might be shipped here for delivery on contract. Southern spot markets were unchanged to Ac lower. Exports are said to be running lighter and the weather Is believed to be favorable for new crop preparations in almost all sections of the south.
 Receipts at the ports today, 16,74S bales, against 12,4SS last week and 27,747 last year. For the week, 10o,O0c. against 1l0.- 74s last week and 16S,765 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, 4755 bales, against s49O last year; and at Hous- ton 3757, against 1o,062 last year.

yesterday.
 steady rush prevailed along Nor ris avenue all of yesterday, while prices changed but little except in meats. in which a general shifting was experienced.
 In meats rib bellies changed from s7.25 and s8 to ST and sS 25; dry salt clear bellies from $7 65 and s8. 25 to $7 .7b and ss. 55; rdy salt extra sh ort ribs from $7 to s7 S2h; leaf lard from S& to STc.
 In flour, meal and feedstuffs every thing remained unchanged except meal, which increased slightly. Wa ter ground increased from S1c to S2c per bushel, while 90 pound bags went from $1 60 to $1 Demand was very good.
 Fruits, produce and staples moved very rapidly, with a fair stock, thus holding prices to n steady tone. Price on eggs is quoted at 15c, which is for best grade of Tennessee eggs. Some of the dealers are quoting a 14c price, which is prevailing in the case of the country product. The retail price was maintained at 2oc among most of the retailers, though a few quoted them at 15c.

Hubbard Bros. 6. Co.'S Letter.

New York, March 1s.-(Special.)- Heavy liquidation again appeared this afternoon for no apparent reason, as for eign advices were better than anticipated, while receipts were light The market had been quiet and steady. with few sell CTS. until the same selling movement which 1t has felt during the past three days came upon the market.
 Offerings of July became very heavy, carrying the price down as new buyers only were found at concessions. At tho same time there were buyers of May, which held it's premium to the close at about the lowest prices.
 Among the local traders the feel has been very pessimistic at the failt of the market to respond to any favot, able advices and they look for still lower prices in the absence of any demand from American spinners.
 Liverpool will probably not decline as much as expected tomorrow
