It was a dull market , ou the Stoc'R oxcliungo toduy and the vol ume of business was largely restricted. The trading was purely professional and the changes in thn transactions of the day Avero generally unimportant. The inactivity of fered tlio siicculativo fraternity llmo for dis cussion of the great Atchison mystery , which absorbs the attention of the street to n largo degree. Whether President Ilcin- hart of the company went to London tu nn- gotlnloa loan , and , if ho did , with what suc cess , were the questions for which solutions were sought , but as the only person who could answer both of these conundrums is aboard the stcatnor Teutonic , homeward - ward bound , conjecture and rumor are the only factors of the situation. Atchison stocks anil bonds were well held toduy , tlio shares advancing IJ per cent , In the early dealings , with only a ) , ( per cent reaction at the close , while tlio bonds recorded material advances. The advance in sterling exchange rates to the point ut which gold shipments were made last winter Had no apparent effect on stock values , but caused some talk of possi ble exportation of the precious inotal on Saturday. No indications , however , nro given of any such shipments and it is not mi- ticipatcd that there will be any of moment unless sterling rates bo marked up still higher. Sugar held its place at the head of the list of sales , but fluctuated within narrow limits , During the morning it was in demand , the declaration of the regular dividends yester day bringing in a good muny purchasing orders and an advance of 1' ' to \ ' ' percent was ordered. The bears , nowover , were disputing the advance nnd thww out sug gestions that in vlow of the proposed tariff legislation the last U per cent quarterly dividends ou the common stock had been do- , clured. As no disposition was manifested to throw out nny heavy short lines , the effect on the shares was but slight , n reac tion ot JB nor cent only being ; made , . ' 4 per cent of which was recovered ut the close. Chicago Gus held Its own until iato in the nfternoon , when n rumor was started thnt tlio reported cash dividend had not been de clared , and on this a drive was made on the stock , which sent it down l } { per cent with out any subsequent recovery , for when the llrst cunnrd was denied a report came that mi injunction to restrain the payment of the dividend had been asked for. There was Rood buying in Ucneral Electric in the morning , most of it in Boston orders , and an ndvanco of 1 % per cent was recorded. This wus quickly followed by u selling movement which resulted in u reduction of } per cent , with a llnal recovery of % per cont. The general market opened strong nt an advance of a fraction , and after u brief period of limitless became weak , rather by reason of lack of animation thun any pressure to sell , und durlnir the rest of the day moved feebly up nnd down ns tlio traders pulled the string , no marked change being made except in a few of Iho specialties , Rubber preferred making an ndvitnco of 24 } per cent and Amer ican Cotton Oil J.'j per cent , whllo Tobacco preferred declined JJ ! per cent , Canada Pacific 1 per cent and Consolidated Gas 1 per cent. Cleveland , Cincinnati , Chicago As St. Ixmls preferred sold up 0 per cent on two 100 aliuro lots , the Unit being ut 85 per cent and the second ut IK ) per cent. The tone of the general market at the close was llrm and the tendency of prices was upward , A well known Wall street man , who has no crucial connection with the affairs of the AluhUon company , sale ! to an Associated press representative this afternoon that just bofora leaving for London President Hoin- hart hud told htm that tils inlosion abroad was primarily to obtain needed rest nd incidentally to make the personal acquaint- tanco of the leading foreign security holders of the country , Ilo foreshadowed the at tacks upon the company during his absence , laying that possibly while ho was in inid- ocean receivership and other uiro results would bo prophesied for the Atchison. There is nobody who can give any dcdnito statement of the oxnct status of the Atchl- son's affairs until President U"tnlmrt reaches port , nnuY JajW l the only tongnO thnt can glvo spdiillictwccn now nnd that time. The Post saysv-.Tho trend of tlio lock market wns Upwfi : | : today nnd although the trading was lleht jfrirt ealns predominated throughout the list , Thcro was some Lon don buylnir , cspoci.illy in Atchison , but the noto\roithy loc.il lulranccs were In Western Union nnd the DMubtri.il st6cks. Among thesoSngiir cortinaitcs again showed the strongest tone , the snort interest , once moro covering industriously throughout the list. In fact the covorinc , of the shorts was the only feature of < thb day. Tlicro was no ngcrcssivo buying for the long account.

It Is more than likely th it a now system of nwardln'rontrncls for public work nltor the llritof thoynar will bo InnuiiurnioJ by the llo.ird of Public Works. The contt-m- idatod change will brhiR about a complcto revolution In thn plan of givlntr out o.in- Iriicis , and it Mhonuht by ( halrmnn Win stie.tr ili.it u largo S.IVIUR will bo inado te thu city , Mr.Vlnspcar says Unit It has como to hli knowledge th.-U sovcr.il Amorlc.iu cities him In operation n system ol publio uorlc thnt awards the contract for pavmp curbing , nuildni ; water , as and SUVUT connection ? ail to ono contr.tdtoi and nil tit ono tlmo and that thn contractor meets Iho oxpcnso of In- Mpcctlon. In Omaha a sopar.ito contract in jinido foi'oach utiil the city pays for Iho in- apni'tlon. In nditltion the proposed chanso woliitl do. away with a vast nmount of n-it fnpu anil cnmhersomo rccoixl Ueonliii ; , ' 1'lin chairman has sent out reitiMts ) for copies of plans and upcclll. callous in nso In n largo number of cities nnd when llicso arrive ho will probably U I- ijest them and scok to have the > forms now In n.so bore romodoled. Mr. Wtnspcar real- i/cs Iho fact that reforms como slowly , To start with ho would havoi the contract u warded to ono man for doing the paving on n streol and the maldngof the wutor , KM and iM' wor connections , and the tiiirhinc hi' would nt present , let go to another. Ho diic.s not know whtjther it would bo wlso to force the contractors Just now to meet the ox- pctiso of Inspnotlon , which costs the city $ per day. That iiu | tlon ho would bo in clined not to push thlsyu.ir , bin bring about the iu.HiLjm-aUon uf a now system in a reasonable enable time. . \Vlnspcarlmsglven this subject dim dOiMlionnml nt present regards It with favor , lie believes that It would re- suit in less delay in securing the completion of p.ivinur. Hut ono contractor wonjil bo dealt with , by Urn city and ho would bo held responsible for nny delays. The bewhls- kercil pretext and excuse of waiting on thu i'urhliifr contractor , or the ono puttlnV In thu connections on thu street , would not atttntl nnd the p.ivlm ; contractor would bo com pelled to proceed , ns ho would have thu cntlro work In hand. Under the present system It requires from three to six months after the llrst move Is innuo to get paving under way. l-Mmi u district Is created nnu then bids for paving and curbing are received , fifteen days time belnu occupiod. Thirty-six day * time Is then given property owners to select material. The contract has been awarded and ten more dajs at least have been Inst. This is f9st llmo and generally a council committee or some imforscon circumstance dcliys nt least thirty days. When the pav ing and curbing contracts are awarded , bids are solicited for mailing the connections on the street another delay of nearly thirty days hoforj the contractor finally gets to work. Thus it goes , from onu delay to another , and the prodding up of llrst ono contractor nnd then nnother. All this red tape and bother wouht be done away with if ono man had the entire - tire work in hand. This is what the chair man of the Hoard of Public Works believes , and if ho can h.ivo his Ideas Impressed upon the other members of the board nnd city council there will bo some needed reforms nnd changes in next year's spccillcatlons. fijM It Curei Colds , Coughs , Bore Throat , Croup , Influ enza , Whoopin ?
