New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 4.--Cotton spots were steady at an advance of l4c on all grades. Middling, 10 3-16c. Sales were 1850 bales on the spot and S25 to arrive.
 Futures opened very steady, F to 10 points above the close Saturday, as re- suit of heavy buying in England and the advance in the Liverpool future market. The advance at Liverpool came in the na- ture of a surprise to local traders al- though the belief that there was large short interest in that market prevailed here last week The local market worked higher after the opening on the prospects of bad weather in the southwest. During the late session there was disposition on the part of many traders to take prohts on the advance and this brought apout a slight recession in values. At the close, which was steady the active months were 15 to 3S points above the close Saturday.

THE CITY AND THE SUBURBS
Baltimore american.

Baltimore American.
During the past week two communications
have appeared in the american commenting
upon the circumscribed area that is embraced
within the boundary lines of Baltimore, as
compared with the expanded areas which other
important American cities have added to their
limits 1t is fact which is, of course, quite
apparent to ordinary observation that the terri
are growing populous at the expense of the
city, for the people who are building up the
picturesque villages surrounding Baltimore in
in every direction do not generally come from
afar, but are mostly urbanites, who in order to
obtain larger breathing space, have chosen to
become suburbanites. As the two correspon-
dents have pointed out. Philadelphia, Chicago,
Buffalo, Denver, New Orleans, New York,
Pittsburg and several other American cities
have scooped in a surrounding territory which
has taken in not only the nearby towns and
villages, but in some instances cornfields, poul-
try farms and cattle ranches by the thousand.
And at last Boston, whose area at present is
greater by more than eleven square miles than
that of Baltimore, is proposing to expand her
boundaries twenty miles in every direction
from the State House dome.
Only twenty years ago Baltimore succeeded,
after most strenuous effort, in extending her
boundaries to the east, north and west. But
this expansion was comparatively modest
one. The present area is less than one fourth
that of Philadelphia, less than one sixth that OF
either Chicago or New Orleans, less than one
tenth of the territory embraced within the
bounds Of Greater New York and about one
thirteenth of the area which Boston is propos-
ing to fence in and hoist her flag over. The
problem of taxation-of adjusting the tax rate
enters, of course, into every proposal to expand
the limits of cities. New York, since annexiDg
the greater part of three counties has regulated
the tax problem by the property valuations.
The tax rate is the same in the Wall Street area
and in the outlying pumpkin and hay farm
areas But while an acre of real estate in the
downtown section may be assessed at $40, 000,-
600, an acre in the farming districts may not be
assessed at beyond $50. There should be found
a method of adjusting the tax scheme by a
Greater Baltimore so that it will be an all
round fair proposition. Baltimore should GER
tainly not be losing the growth that fairly be-

HooRAY FOR BILL

Sure Bill he has brother
That's right Charley is his name
And Bill will be elected in the fall
No; don't mean the other
Why. of course, we mean the same
The chap they nominated In that hall
Then give three cheers for Bill
Hi ! give 'em with will
Now one for Brother Charley. who's peach :
Your enthusiasm spill
When you whoOp it up for Bill
And say! you ought to hear him make speech
The Bill mean has travelled;
He has sailed across the seas
NO; his Brother Carley wasn't on the trip
Lots of problems he's unraveled
With the very greatest ease:
And he's bound to be elected-take my tip.
Then it's Bill ! Bill BILL
He's living in the White House with his kin.
And Brother Charley. too,
Will find a lot to do
When Brother Bill has finally moved in.
oh, the Bills. Bills Bills
Think of all the kinds of Bills.
Adding to our joys or ills
Silver Bills and doctors Bills:
Great Gold Bills to give US thrills;
Rent-day Bills to give us chills;
Bills of every kind and nature;
Bills passed by the Legisature:
Bills for food and clothes and lodging;
Bills that keep the debtors lodging;
Bills all clean and crisp and new:
Ragged Bills; Bills overdue;
Bills that cannot be collected
And our BILL to he elected!
Make no mistake-he surely will
OF course he's Charley's Brother Bill
You know-Bill-l -New York World.
