TO the Silver Tire Company. 2o2
King street, and Prince A Mousley,
.21O1 Market street, to install gaso-
line tanks and pumps in front of
their places of business. The reason
assigned by the directors in the case

-on a part of 1t.
In the case of Mousley It was
ruled that his place OF business is
too near a church edifice, and as

Raw Silk More Active

A better demand for raw silk hss
been manifested in the last two days
according to importers and traders
Although prices here are nominally un-
changed, there has been less shading OF
prices than was evident last week and
importers are more firm in their quo
tations. Double extra cracks, Kansai.
were quoted at $3.50 by most dealers
yesterday and Kansai No. l was hold
at $500 to S7.10 in the majority OF
cases, although some quotations a.
S695 were reported.
Buying as yet is small, the dealers
say, and is forced not so much by be-
lief that the decline in raw silk has
reached its low point, as by actual no
cessity for silk to put on the looms.
