record among the standard issues IN

impetus given by trading during the

stock market opened on Monday with
a strong upward tendency which not
only carried stocks higher on that day,
but continued the rise until Il was
checked by per cent call money near

10 keep the market within a safe range
and prevent any ebullition Of specula-

was not such with the New York banks
that new loans were in favor, as the
drain by the interior institutions on
the New York stock Exchange had
caused a strain. which could be relieved
only for the time by calling loans. The
tension Of the week in money doubtless
will be relieved by the arrival of gold

FIGHTING HARBoR FILTH.

The request of the Corporation '"uh'
sci for an appropriation Of S3O,uoo Wl'n
which TO continue for another year the
legal fight against further pollution OF
New York HarbOr with sewage VIII
appeal strongly to enlightened Sympa-
thieS, provided it can be made clear
that there is need Of such proceedings
and reasonable prospect Of tnclr
success. Protection Of these waters
from additional deliicment, and so iar
as possible redemption Of them from
that which they already suffer. IS high
~ desirable. and if either Of those ends
is 70 Ice attained 10y such means the
pending suit should he pressed to q
finish.
There viii be some doubt however
of the desirability OF supporting the
request with statements which must
be seen 10 he extravagant. Referring
10 the intention OF New Jersey 10 cN-
tend somewhat the limits of the area
drained 10y the Sewage COMMISSION
the Corporation Counsel says that II
this were done "thc Island Of Man
haitian would he surrounded 10y filth
exceeding in lOathSomeness that OF
"GowanuS Canal before New York
CITY installed the flushing scheme FOR
Its improvement" But such would
not be the case. More than one-half
OF the entire urban sewage 81 the
state OF New Jersey is already poured
more or less directly into the waters
Of the North River and the Upper BAY.
The purpoScd extension Of the sewage
system would add only II small per
centage more. Indeed. if al the sew
acc or the state. from Sussex 10 Cape
May. were poured into this harhor II
would not equal the volume when
New York itself Is now sending into It,.
We must remember that the population
Of Manhattan Island alone IS nearly as
great as that of tie whole state OF
New Jersey.
The two states. or this city and that
state. should rot fight each other on
this question. but should recognize
each others equal rights. needs ana
duties. and should cooperate for the
safeguarding of their common inter
eStS. There can be no doubt that Tn"
entire basin Of the PdsSaic and Hack
onsack rivers has It's natural drainage
into Newark Bay and thence into tde
narrow waters sUlTOundin- Staten ISL
and. whence the major part OF 1t comes
into the Upper Bay by way q the MI
van KuH. All that drainage now
comes down 10 these waters in It's
crude state. There is at least ground
for contending that if II were screened
50 as 10 remove the solid matter and
were poured into deep water AT the
bottom Of the middle Of the baV IL
would be much less offensive than 4
now is. OF course. this city should
make sure that il will bc thus screened
and might well demand q greater de-
gree Of publication. But II cannot
expect 10 bottle New Jersey up from
her natural channels Of drainage. The
rule should be threcfold: No increased
admission Of crude sewage; no admiS-
sion Of sewage from other drainage
areas. as was done i'm the case Of the
Bronx Valley sewer. and steady on
deayOr toward the publication Of the
sewage which now flows into the har-
Dor. In all three directions New York
and New jersey should find II possible
to cooperate tremendously and to their
