DDS Of reorgani2ing the Office so that
such shortage cannot occur again.
Under the present plan. 1t seems al
most impossible to check up the &C
counts until the receipts turn up for
items on the books still unpaid. The
Mayor explained that under the pres
ent plan the Commissioner OF the Rev

specified time each year The hooks

10 the City Collector, charging him
for the whole assessment of taxes
something like 100000 Similar

he Is similarly charged on the books

From the books delivered to him. the

In n drawer In the office there has

GOTHAM COTTON
SHOWS A GAIN
RALLY AFTER THE CALL SENDS
PRICES UP ABOUT FIVE AND
NINE POINTS.

New York, Oct. 25.-Cotton opened
steady at unchanged prices to a de-
cline of two points, which was about
in line with the cables.
The census report showing 100000
bales ginned to October Is, against
5,423,62S last year, proved Just about
as expected, and it was evidently the
signal for active profit taking ON the
part of recent Sellers, including houses
with Southern connections. At any
rate, prices rallied right after the call
and later sold about five to nine points
net higher with December leading the
advance. The trading feature appar-
emily was the Southern buying on the
advance from 500 to 9.05 for January
while the selling was scattered, but
seemed chiefly local.
Prices sold about 1908 points net
higher before the upward movement
was checked, but it was estimated thai
no less than 10000 bales of snor
