There was very little done at the meeting of the City Council last night but several very important things were said For instance Mayor Shea reported that he had dis. covered by going about the town in his capacity of fire chief that the wiring of the town was in very dan gerous condition; that in very many cases there was found to be no tub ing where the wires passed through ceiling or walls In private buildings, he had discovered in several places where the wood was actually charred by the heat of the wires. One nota- ble instance was the Presbyterian church. When Rev. Mir. Goods at- tention had been called to it he had at once put men to work to properly wire the place. There were other in stances where long ropes of wire were used to carry the incandescent lamp from room to room and where the door between was closed upon the wire and the insulation worn off and danger resulted Also where the ropes of wire were knotted and worn and short circuit resulted. Of. ficers were warned to keep a sharp lookout. No other action was taken.
 It was stated that an attempt to com pell the observance of the law in this regard might te a good thing in two ways the second way being replenish- ment Of the treasury.
 The other thing of importance Usid was that there vera bills due which there was DO money iu the treasury to meet. Mayor Shea said 1t was up to the Ways and Means committee to find the ways aud means to meet them. He advised to get busy. The money must be gotten in somehow from somewhere; the taxes must be collected or some- thing done as the situation was very bad.
 Mir. Shaw, chairman of the ways and means committee was not present and DO action was taken,
 Mir. Snyder called attention to the fact that only small proportion of the poll taxes had been collected. He thought that Chief Dillon should be stirred up. He did not believe in making one man pay poll tax and permitting his neigh bor 10 go free. If ALL citizens were not to be made to pay alike he would next year refuse to pay his own.
 Mir. Dillon said that more poll taxes

T0 FUNDS IN CITY TREASURY

had been collected thus far this year than in the entire year at any time before.
 Mir. Snyder said that had nothing to do with 1t. MT. Dillon had been engaged to collect the poll tax and was given liberal commission for so doing and he did net think the collection should be limited to the easy ones.
 All this discussion was called out by the report of the city treasury which showed a deficit of $15O and requlsltion from the school board for S65O for the month of Novem. ber-with no money to give them.
 A proposition was read from Messrs. Hill & Wettrick, who are making the survey of the townsite, to make a complete survey of the town including the Moore tract, and to furnish large map for S2OO, saying that 1t could be done at this figure now while the surveyors were here and the work would dovetail with the work on which they are en- gagged, while at any other time 1t would cost much more.
 It was agreed that the map was much needed but the condition of the treasury would not permit 1t to be undertaken at this time. There was also a proposition from the same firm to make a survey Cf the ceme- tery necessary to be presented to the war department in connection with the proposed petition to have the re- serve set aside This would cost S75' Both propositions were referred to the Ways and Means committed
 Mir. L. s. Harrison was present representing a number of citizens who desire to flood the ball park to make a skating rink. The matter was referred to the Public Works and Public Property committee with power to act.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
lndcclsion Marks Speculative Scnti-

New York, Nov. Manifestations marked the speculative sentiment in the stock market to-day The price movement was very mixed and the conflicting movements seemed to be so nearly balanced in their power to af- feet sentiment that neither was able to prevail. That the market was being subjected to a churning process by powerful hands was the fairly obvious Inference from it's action The most conspicuous of the opposed movements to-day were those In St. Paul and in U & Steel st. Paul showed aggres- slve strength at different times and the brokers employed 10 do the buying of the stock gave the impression of an accumulation by the most powerful of the financial groups habtually active ln the speculation. on the other hand there was persistent selling of T.. s. Steel, some of the individual transac- tons being in enormous volume The stocks that moved with St Paul in the upward tendency were, for the most part. amongst the less conspicuous, low priced stocks The usual market lead CTS. including the Hartman prices, the Hill stocks, Amalgamated Copper American Smelling and Reading were inclined 10 move in company with IT. s. Steel No fair idea of the incoher- ence of the days movement can be conveyed without this detail of the course of individual stocks
 The upward spurts, at different times, in New York Central, Chesa- peake x ohio and the Rock Island is- sues had no explanation In new de- veopments affecting the properties. They were attributed. for the most part, to activity on the part of stock market pools in the stocks. The feature of the day in the wider financial sig nificance was the evidence of tho capl- tal requirements opening before the markets The announcement of the sale of $50, 100000 of American Tele- phone and Telegraph convertible bonds to bankers seemed unexpected and was of portentious effect on sentiment.
 This was partly due to the announce, llleul VI h HllNllebe to hlluel Wiil'IS VT tho prevlus slO0,OOO,0 900 issue of these bonds to subscribe in the present case at 02, although tho bonds sold Satur- | day in the market as high as 95 3-4
 To-day they declined to A and the companies shares also fell two points
 It was inferred that the terms offered to the former syndicate members for subscriptions to the new Issue are de-
