CITY FATHERS AGREE.

The city fathers may now be said to
be under way again, all the necessary
ordinances for the fiscal year as we'll as
the appropriation bill having been
passed. The report of the finance and
street committees adopted last night
provides for certain contemplated I'M
proyements under circumstances which
meet with the approval OF a majority
OF the members OF both boards. The
proceedings of the present City Council
up TO last night have not been marked
with the expedition generally charac-
teristic Of the representatives OF the
city, the boards having at times been
deadIocked over certain matters, but as
time went on it was shown that they
were in no sense implacable, realizing
as they do, that they had been sent TO
Council to transact the city's business
and that it is necessary for them to
come together and get to work. This
they have done, and there is reason to
believe there will be no more serious
disagreements.
DeadIocks, comparatively speaking.
are few in the history Of the Alexandria
CITY Council, and when such unfortu-
nate conditions have leen brought
about cooler Judgment has eventually
prevailed and the result has shown that
there has after all been a disposition t.
work together for the public.good. This
was apparen: last hight when the Com
mon Council receded from their action
in amending the license law when it
was received from the Board OF Alder
men. This action showed conclia-
tory spirit and was decided relief to
some who had reason to believe ohju.
racy would be shown by both boards.
Upon the advent Of new council
certain members, elected upon divers
issues, think movements which they
believe are for the public good should
be acted upon Immediately. After a
survey 0: the field, however, it may
become apparent that their measures
are not expedient or are premature,
and, like sensible representatives, they
are disposed to await time with pa
thence for the enactment OF movements
which they have the best motives for
urging. Such seems to be the case at
the present time.

Joys of HOuse-Cleaning
om the Galveston News.

Ioiil tue 1dlNeStOH Ne"S.
 Once upon a time we used to beat carpets by hand. and the time of spring cleaning was the time when paterfamil- las felt called upon to work late at the office. It was wonderful the way busi- ness increased just about that time,
 If 1t didn't go, because some men have wives with the gift of second sight, it was customary to drop in a drug store on the way home and drink some aro- and lie in a cool place with a wet towel tied about ones head, for the spring sun sometimes works that way on a fellow.
 But of late the automatic back action suction cleaner has been called upon to do the beating, which is not beating after all, but cleaning by suction, much as an elephant takes water
 In fact, the supposition is that the elephant was the first suction cleaner ever invented. You threw peanuts on the floor and the elephant sucked them in with the ease of a modern carpet cleaner, absorbing dust and tacks and blue headed pins.
 So now a man can go home and let the suction cleaner do the work He finds It's rubber nose poked lnlo the ln- nermost recesses of his closets. He finds that nothing is hid from it-not even the 67 pint and half-pint bottles he has hid away from view from time to time.
 No more does he break his back pounding carpets on a line while the neighborhood gasps for breath, says bit ter things and thinks of injunctions.

New York Cotton Futures
Open. High. Low. Close.
New Orleans Cotton Market 1

New Orleans, July 10.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at a decline of ' to 10 points. Cables were somewhat lower than due and weather reports were bearish as they were to the effect that the drouth in Texas and Okla homa had been effectually broken. Sell ing was heavy on the first call and immediately after; scalping shorts were profit-takers on a large scale but the demand from this source was not suf- ficient to affect the market until Oc- tober threatened to break through 12 roc At the end of the first half hour of business the list was s to sl 8 points under Saturdays close.
 The forecast of showery weather for the entire cotton belt caused a still further depression around the middle of the morning. The market, however, took offerings better than 1t did In the early trading and the decline was widened only a few points. the list at it's lowest going 12 to IA points under Saturdays last prices The old crop months exhibited the greatest weak ness, which was due to the receipt at Houston of 33 bales of new crop cot ton This seemed to bear out the claim of the bears that the movement of the new crop in July will be heavy. To- ward noon something of a reaction was seen on the new crops; the old crops did not show any recuperative power. At noon the old crops were 12 to II points under Saturdays close and the new crops were to 10 under
 h. the early part of the afternoon session the market was very weak. Trading was moderate in volume but there were few buyers. At ? o'clock the old crops were 2i to 37 points un- der Saturdays close and the new crops were 17 to 8 under.
 The cotton market closed barely steady at a net decline of IS to 37 points.

TALL GRAINS TAKE
 A SLIGHT DECLINE
Rain and Cool Weather Throughout Northwest
 Relieve All Concern

Chicago, July 10.-With plenty of rain the forecast for the week, all grain un- derwent decline Wheat closed AQ1c net lower; corn, 1Adlssc, and oats the same as Saturday night, to 1h0ssc be- heath. The outcome for hog products varied between 10c loss and 2i5c advance. Moisture which had fallen throughout the northwest relieved for the time be- ing all concern about the wheat crop. Whatever other chance the bulls had to- day was killed by the official range pro- duction that a considerable period of low temperature awaited immediately at hand. One of the leading experts went on rec ord with statement that there was now no likelihood of failure in North Da- kota such as last year. Further encour- agement to the bears was afforded by country offerings of new wheat becom- Ing so large as to seem almost unwieldy. In consequence pit sentiment from the outset till the last gong favored the sell ing side. The government report did not arrive till too late to cut any figuring in the trading and for that matter proved not to be expected. During the session September ranged from Ss%ds9zsc to sO9sc. with the finish easy, 1c net lo~6r at sObc.
 Liauldating by longs was the order of the day in the corn crowd. Buying ap- peared to be chiefly in the nature of profit taking on the part of shorts Im- proved atmospheric conditions were re- sponsible. September fluctuated between 641sc and 647sc, closing weak, 14c off at 641ke. Cash grades were heavy: No. ? vel low at the wind-up was 63q63jac.
