.C[0E IN QUANDARY OVER HOUSING BILL.
 AND SEEKS ADVICE.
Permits Payable Tuesday Morning, Yet Definite Pol
 icy Undecided, commis- Sioner States

Although city licenses were due Monday and will be payable when the comptroller's books open Tuesday morning. Commissioner ". B. Cloe had not decided late Monday after noon whether he would enforce his war time ordinance requiring that all rooming houses and hotels obtain per mits from him before being granted licenses.
 The ordinance was resurrected by Commissioner Cloe about month ago in his anticipated cleanup cam paign on rooming houses. Numerous protests have been aroused since he declared the measure would be en- forced literally and would include private dwelling places that take boarders.
 Commissioner Cloe Monday after noon said that some changes might be made" He said he would hold a conference with W. J. Wynn, city at torney, and be guided by whatever was told him. He said he did not know what changes he had in mind, but that he understood tlrat the le- gal department had some that would make it more acceptable to the pub lie. When the ordinance was first brought to his attention by the legal department about month ago, Cloe pounded on his desk vigorously and announced that he would wield it with fearless ardor. It had proved a fatal boomerang to the political life of John Taylor, his predecessor, in the last city election
 It is understood that permit blanks have been printed The law was de- clared invalid by Judge Hugh A Locke of the chancery court in the Co, with the legal department since that time have brought expressions of confidence and doubt from Cloe at various intervals.
 New Measure Up in Ar
 Whether Commi ssioner Cloe will present Tuesday for the third time his proposed ordinance providing for revocation of rooming house licenses will be determined at a conference with W. J. Wynn. city attorney, which will supposedly be held before the commission convenes at 10 o'clock, Cloe said Monday. Commits sioner Cloe presented the ordinance for the first time about a month ago. It was twice carried over. Cloe com plained that the commi ssion discrim- mated against him in carrying his bills over. Then Commissioner w. E. Dickson declared the public safety commissioner was going too far with his proposed cleanup campaign any way.
 After the legal department had brought two old ordinances to Cloe's attention, the commissioner declared that he would abandon this measure. Later, however. these two measures were declared invalid by Judge Hugh A. Locke. and-after consultation with the legal department-Cloe said he would bring the proposed ordi- nance up again.
 Two weeks ago Cloe said he would present the ordinance at the next meeting. At that session, two com missioners were absent-and Cloe de- cided to wait until January g. Since that time he has given out various statements, which eliminated Mon day with the assertion that he would confer with the legal department to determine whether he would present the bill.

LAST HOUR OF COTTON
MARKET is THE MOST
EXCITING IN SEASON.
May Goes Over 27.90 With
All Other Futures Clos

New York, Jan. 1S.--The last hour
Of trading on the cotton exchange today
was one of the most exciting periods
of the season. Not only did prices
advance into new high territory, over
2T.aO for May, but the whole list closed
at the top.
This represented a gain OF 80 points
over Fridays closing quotations: March
closed 2T.73 TO 27.T5: May 2I.So 10
2I.92 and October 1892 to 25.94.
Though the cotton year is net yet

bales OF March was compelled to bid
prices up to 1856. 16 points over last

the highest prices of the season. There
was hardly a block of 1000 bales avail

small lots only. After the opening, a

CURB MARKET ACTIVE
Profit Taking In Speculative Leaders
However, Causes Slight Decline.

New York. Jan. 1S.-The Curb mar
ket closed the week with active buy
ing still in progress in oils and indus
trials. Profit taking however, by those
who had purchased early in the week
resulted in slight declines in the great
err number Of recent speculative lead
ers.
Stutz Motors was an exception among
the industrials and was again a fea-
ture, reaching higher levels. The ad-
vance in Stutz was based on rumOrs
that the same interests which have
been connected with Studebaker for
some time past are now interested in
Stutz Motors.
Durant of Delaware reacted from
its high of Friday TO below so, but
closed with a gain of over points on
the week. The Indiana stock had an
advance of almost 3 points in the same
period. Realizing sales, although not
heavy were responsible for a drop of
over a point in Hayes Wheel, but the
advance for the week amounted to
about 3 points.
Oil shares remained firm through
today's short session. The improvement
in the oil situation recently resulted
in several noteworthy advances taking
the week as a whole.

CATTLE PRICES CLOSE
WITH GOOD GAIN OVER
LAST WEEK--HOGS DROP
Hog Market Is OF With
Large Supply Held Over
in Pens.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-ClosinE livestock
trade was of little account. Supplies
were heavy in the cattle alleys, but most
of the fresh stuff was held over. Nearly
10000 hogs were held over from yester-
day, and the market was off. A week
ago most Of the choice light hogs Sold
close to 50, and thus the trade closed
lower this week. Compared with
week ago, cattle values showed A good
gain.
Receipts today were 1900 cattle, Is.
900 hogs, 1000 sheep, 500 calves.
Cattle: Few cattle were sold today.
Prices were about steady. with the mar
ket for steers at the high point of the
week. Bulk of steers closed 2565D
cents above a week ago, with some sales
showing more gain. Top steers went st
S11.SJ. Cows and heifers went to kill
ers at a gain of 50@75 cents above a
more upturn. Gamers were strong at
the close, with bulls at an advance of
J06T5 cents from a week ago. Calves
were uneven during the period. but
closed about like last weeks closing
market.
Hogs: All kinds of hogs we're lower
from the start. The general trade was
off 20@35 cents after a slow start, with
good butchers going below IS. Strictly
prime light hogs sold at $3.50. but they
were again in class by themselves.
Some Of the rough packing hogs sold
down to S7.25, but good lots went at
ST.5067.S0.
Sheep: lambs were not offered in
large numbers today. Some small lots
were on hand. but practically all OF the
fresh supply was direct to packers, and
the trade was only nominal one. Fat
lambs showed little change from week
ago. Aged muttons were lower, but
