Plan to Buy in Bulk.

At present supplies are delivered by
contract, but under the proposed scheme.
all materials needed by the municipality
will be bought in bulk at wholesale prices.
The storehouse plan was recommended
by Secretary of Commerce Redfield at the
time he was a member of the House Dis
trict committee and made an investiga-
ton of the Districts purchasing methods.
One of the surprises of the budget is
the item for the construction of a new
municipal lodging house. While this
improvement has been recommended
previously, the board of charities here
tofore has not strongly urged it. for the
reason that 1t considered that there were
more important reforms to be obtained
first. The Commissioners. it is under
stood, consider the need of new
municipal lodging house an important
one and have provided for a building
that will be credit to the city.

Support Impresses Holders
of Stocks.

NEW YORK, October 16.-Can common
and preferred rose 81 point each at the
opening today. First prices elsewhere
showed small and irregular changes.

mated made small gains. and Union Pa
cifc and Steel were slightly lower.
After the opening transactions the
whole market shaded off. Westinghouse

The better feeling created by yester-
days advance was dissipated today by
fresh selling of a speculative character.
Substantial Declines.
Substantial declines in standard rail-
road stocks. especially the grangers and
Pacifics, influenced rather broad selling
of various specialties.
Speculative sentiment veered strongly
to the selling side today. opinion was
especially bearish among the more i'm
poTtant professional traders. who were
heaviest sellers of Union Pacific, Read

Holders of stocks were impressed by
the continued absence of banking sup
port, but reports that banks and trust
companies were unloading holdings be-
cause of dissatisfaction with financial.
political and business conditions met
with denials Further cuts in steel

lecture as to the effect of currency legis-
lation had weight In depressing senti-
n1ent.
Slow to Recover.
Although trading became dull after the
first hour, the market showed no ability
TO recover with any spirit. Weakness
of minor issues indicated that weak
spots were being sought out to force
genuine liquidation.
Bonds were heavy.
The buying power went out of the
market entirely after prices had recover
ed little from the low level.

Illinois Central and talk of necessary
financing by other lines was responsible
for the early marked weakness in certain
stocks.

undermined the improving tendency.
Some shares returned TO their low figures
and the whole market sold close to the
bottom.
Business was no larger on this decline
than on the fractional rally which pre-
ceded it.
