lengers, J. H Morrison and Merrill H.
Ladd.
During the early part of the day the
voting was very light and it seemed
as if the prediction that the vote would
be heavier than in 1918 would not be
verified. At noon the voting by wards
was as follows: First 164, Second $50,
Third $50. Fourth IT'S; total S7S. The
usual noon rush pushed the total num-
Der of votes cast up to LOO, and at 8
O'Clock the list stood at 1880, leaving
only a total of ISL votes to be cast in
all four wards to equal the total num-
Der polled in 1918. At o'clock the
polls closed, and when the official
counters completed their count at s
o'clock the results showed that the
democrats had elected a majority OF
the board of aldermen as well as re-
elected Mayor Daniel P. Dunn to serve
his sixth term as mayor OF Whitman
tic.
They elected two out of three alder
men-at-large two out of three as
SCISSORS, the sheriff, city clerk and
treasurer. and aldermen from the First
and Third wards, leaving the board OF
aldermen to 8 democratic.
The republicans had to be satisfied
with two aldermen and a minority on
the board and the assessors.
Mayor Dunn's majority was 125, &c
better than two years ago, when there
were four candidates in the field. The
closest vote was in the First ward,
where C. c. Case, republican, was de-
feated by William B. Mcintosh by four
votes.
The results follow:

NEW YORK CoFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-During the early
operations the coffee market showed
further weakness, with the January posi-
tion 10 points below the final OF yester-
day under selling against notices. The late
months, however, were fairly steady as
there was a disposition to transfer inter-
est from the near to the late positions,
The spot demand continues dull and there
seemed to be little prospect Of much i'm
provement until after the holiday season
is over and interior handlers have taken
their annual inventories.
