WILL WORK CHANGES
Debt Limit Decision VIII alter
City Bookkeeping.

jeremiah Mahoney, head OF the law and
adjustment division in the Controllers office
commenting yesterday on the debt limit
decision by the Court OF Appeals, said:
1T will be several days before complete
statement of the cty's debt can be pre-
pared. Forty-two distinct questions were
certified 10 that court for determination,
ard the ruling of our highest court makes
necessary many changes in the system IN
vogue in determining the borrowing capac-
ity of the city.
Upon a careful analysis Of the figures OF
the city as OF June 80. 1908, presented to
the court 1t would seem that the margin
of Indebtedness of that date was about
$4S.OOO,O 900.
THE changes that will now have TO be
made in the city's method OF calculating
the debt will include a deduction from the
total debt Of all revenue bonds outstanding,
excepting those outstanding five years or
more after the taxes against which they
were levied become due. Special revenue
bonds must now be deducted also an IN
stalment placed in the budget each year to
provide for interest, and the amortization
OF the city's debt; also all cash in the sink
ing fund and cash in those funds against
which contracts are not registered; also
bonds payable in any year, provision for
which must be made in the budget. and the
cash holdings of the sinking fund.
"As these amounts were never deducted
from the total debt, the bookkeeping meth
DDS in the Department OF Finance will now
be arranged so that these items can be as
certained upon very short notice. Until
that is done we cannot tell the cltys exact
borrowing capacity, although it is safe to
say that at the present time il exceeds
$4,000, 900.

MANUAL TRAINING VICTORIOUS
Beat Yonkers High School in Game
Marred by Much Wrangling.

In an uninteresting game of football.
marred by many wrangles and fights the
Manual Training High School eleven de-
feated the Yonkers High School team at
Washington Park yesterday by a score OF
L 10 0. Two fist fights occurred On the
field, and the game threatened to end in a
forfeiture to Manual Training on a hot
dispute over the forward pass.
The home team was fast, but was op-
posed by a strong one, and had TO play
its best to win. Both touchdowns scored
by Manual Training were the result Of
line plunges through left tackle, which was
the weak spot in the Yonkers High School
lineup. Farley played a strong game at
fullback the Brooklyn team. and swept
all opposition before him. Yonkers was
the aggressor in the first half, but al
though coming within striking distance
failed 10 score. Roster, the small quar-
terback of Yonkers High attempted a field
goal from the 15-yard line, but it was a
poor attempt, falling five yards short. Both
teams were penalized in the first half for
delaying the game.
Five minutes after the second half opened
Manual Training, by line plunges, was able
TO send Farley across the line, amid wild
outbursts Of applause from the school con-
tingent. Hendrickson kicked the goal. W.
Cassidy was pushed across the line five
minutes later and Hendrickson again
kicked a goal. Yonkers High never had a
chance to score In this half.
Foley and w Cassidy played a good
game for Manual Training. while McCulIom
and Webb. who covered the ends, and
Shelley, were conspicuous by their fast
playing for the Yonkers school.

JUssERAND FOR PEACE. "
France in Shape, However, to Retail
ate for Tariff Measures.

Jules J. Jusserand. the French Ambas-
sador to Washington, returned to his post
yesterday after his arrival on the French
liner La Provence. He had been away on
three months leave. The Ambassador was
not pleased with the roughness Of the pas
sage from Havre. but remarked when the
steamer docked that he was feeling In
good shape now.'' Concerning the attitude
of France toward the United States on the
new tariff bill. NJ. Jusserand said:
France is ready to fight. but do not
believe the matter vii ever come to
state where she will fight. Don't misun-
derstand me. I do not mean for one min
ute that France is seeking trouble. It was
but natural that the agitation should arise.
France is in first class shape CONNER
cially to retaliate in the matter OF any
tariff measure, And when I use the term
fight, I'm simply using another term, as
you might say, for retaliation. Once more
let me add however, that I don't think
retaliation will ever be necessary. 1 feel
confident that both countries will come TO
an agreement"

COTTON Is SOARING
Passes II Cents for First Time
Since 1901.

For the fret time since the Sully corner,
In February, 1904. the price of cotton on
the local exchange yesterday not only
reached but passed the 14-cent mark so
long predicted by the bulls. The May op-
tion sold up to l4G5 cents and the March
option up to 14.03 cents on excited covering
by shorts. The other options were also
strong, the whole list showing a net ad-
vance of about 25 points. or 81 % bale.
The high figures of the day were reached
shortly before the noon hour and were
maintained 10 the close. notwithstanding
enormous re llizing sales. The rise was at
tributed to reports from the South that the
crop would be at least 100000 bales short
and further bullish advices from the spin
ming centres. 1t was rumored also that
one of the largest of the local shorts had
finished covering Friday afternoon and
was now taking the long side for an ad-
vance to 14ls cents.
The market opened firm at an advance
OF from to 16 points under a volume Of
new buying. and continued to advance
steadily during the first hour Toward IL
o'clock the market turned sensationaly
strong and prices jumped up rapidly, until
the May and March options had both
passed the 14-cent level Prices then
eased off trife on profit taking by old
longs, but rallied again on further heavy
buying from spot interests and active COW
ering by the shorts, the latter. in addition
to the bullish advices from the Southern
spot markets and from the spinning centres
before referred to, also having in view the
publication of the report of the Census Blu
reau on Monday, which will show the
quantity of cotton ginned from the growth
this season prior to October is.
The local bull pool is headed by James
A Patten, who first became active in the
cotton market here a few weeks ago. Mr..
Patten expressed the belief recently that
the price of cotton would ultimately go to
20 cents, basing his prediction on the small
ness of the crop, coupled with an increased
demand.
