NEW YORK sTocK LETTER.

Furnished by Cameron Currie * Co.:
quite heavy buying orders were put
in the market in a number OF the lead
ing stocks this morning with the result
that some of the actives advanced from
half a point to a point and half and
gave an appearance of strength TO the
whole market. About Ii o'clock. how
ever heavy selling took place In Mis-
souri, Pacific, which forced the price OF
this stock down some three points be-
low last nights close, and caused sharp
breaks in Denver preferred and West
ern Union. the result OF these declines
being TO somewhat unsettle the entire
list, the Missouri, Kansas a. Texas Is
sues showing special weakness. Lead
ing stocks, however. held their own
fairly well. and only show fractional
declines from the best prices reached
around IL o'clock. There has been
little news or gossip TO affect tho
course of trading one way or the other
and dealings remain largely profes-
sional favorable influence was tho
strength and activity In the new city
bonds which sold In large amounts up
TO 107. This IL an advance OF about
three points over the price at which
the bonds were allotted.

nousEHoLpER INTERESTED.

PORT HURON, Mich, Feb. To-
)Decial. The new state constitution
beginning 10 become the political
toic OF discussion In this section or
W state and many opinions are ex-
r4nsed a. TO the new fundamental
~ which will be submitted 10 the
|ectors OF the state for approval or
oaDproval.
H X1rst In every discussion is the
c<ion relating to the right OF only
Epayers TO vote on questions IN
&|x1ng disposition OF public utility
1nchises and expenditure Of public
oneys. Almost without exception
k8re is strong disapDroval OF the
1fion OF the constitutional conven-
Nm IN disfranchising non-taxpaying
|ofers. especially on questions per-
<Infng to franchises for light, water,
|60, street railways. etc.
The fact that this city is just now
wing 10 settle the question OF new
H5 franchise. makes 1t appear plain
~ how unfair II would be TO limit
&e vote on such subject TO taxpay-
Nh citizens only. 1t Is argued that
4ory householder In Port Huron,
Whether taxpayer or not, is vitality
.nkorested In the subject OF gas
<onchise. and II 1t ever came to
Note. would be entitled to just as
<&uch consideration as gas-buyer, as
Any taxpayer. In such matters the
oroperty qualification Is not bit pop
mar In this city.
X However. It is admitted that there
- 4 shade OF difference in matters
por<ainiiig to disposition of moneys
tontributed by taxpayers only. For
Instance. the question OF building
&6w school house at large cost II Is
ffued, might more properly be lin
NJ TO the action Of taxpayers only.
u. AZ the unsatisfactory section now
<nnds. II is safe to say that it would
oan many votes hereabouts against
&ko new constitution.
~ to the general features OF the new
6cummt, judgment is suspended.
&nd there Is very little discussion or
nv other matter except the dis
section. which is well
21xh unanimously regarded as great

500 men At WORK
CLEANING STREETS
OF SNOW
CITY IS IN GRIP OF HEAVIEST
STORM or THE WINTER
BUNCH OF TROUBLE FOR THE
RAILWAYS.

One OF the heaviest snowstorms OF
the winter descended on the city
about 1880 o'clock Tuesday night, ac-
companied by brisk easterly wind
which increased In velocity to IS
miles an hour during the night, and
which caused the iaky stun to drift
badly. Up to 2 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon a little over nine inches
OF snow had fallen. with no immediate
prospect OF let up.
1t kept the street car company go
ing some to combat the Clements, but
It succeeded fairly well. While some
of the schedules were irregular no tie
ups occurred. The railroads were up
against IT once more and their trou.
bles Will increase should the snow fall
continue through the Gay. In the VI
entity of Chicago about IA inches was
recorded early Wednesday mornins
and traffic on all the lines entering
the city was seriously impeded.
Fortunately for those who were COM
PEELED TO go out of doors the mercury
remained well up in the twenties, reg
istering 2S at o'clock this morning.
Forecaster Thompson, however. looks
for drop today. but makes no guess
as to how low II will descend.
With the first waking sparrow, the
foremen OF the ID. r. w. were out
Wednesday morning getting gangs to
| gether to clean up the beautiful from
the streets. Before noon more than
| 500 men were at work and others
were being added to the gangs as fast
as they came In with shovefs.
| The days bill for cleaning up tho
snow will run to at least $500, be.
side what other departments are
spending.
Work on the Belle Isle canal was
stopped almost entirely, only 80 men
being kept at work there, and many
OF those laid of TO come to the city
hall and were set at work shovelins
snow. II Is expected that the full
force will be back at the island
Thursday, and others will take Their
places on the street and CROSSING
gangs. II will take several days C
get the downtown district and i'm
portant crossings cleared.
Fears OF another melting OF the
snow. such as occurred last week
are driving the d. p, w. officials K
take every possible precaution. Tbs
Fairview pumps are fixed up for an
other siege, while the bitches OF tn,
Eighteenth ward are being cleaned ou

There was a change OF position by

this morning. A number OF the firms

appeared as heavy buyers OF certain
stocks, causing the leading element
on the floor to turn to the bull side

some hurried covering OF shorts In
these issues. Northern Pacific was
