New York, July 29.—The opening of today’s market was at an advance of 3 to 2 per cent over closing prices. London had improved cor- respondingly over night and had some buying orders in our market. Prices held well throughout the day and fluctuations in the general list were within very narrow limits. The short interest was very materially reduced yesterday afterncon and early this morning, and the market has had a temporary breathing spell in consequence, While the bear party are figuring up profits and deciding upon character of their next campaign prices will be permitted to take care of themselves and dull- ness must naturally follow. Bear maneuvering having become somewhat dangerous at present low prices,it is rumored that sagacious operators are quietly covering outstanding contracts Preparotory to trading on the long side of the account. Affairs in the west are still very unsettled, and Denver reports the assignment of 1 Peoples Coal Company with a capital of $8. 000,000.

Torexa, Kax., July 20.—Delegates to the bimetallic state convention began to arrive last night and at noon today there were proba- bly 100 ardent advocates of the free coinage of silver in the city from outside points. The at- tendance will be much lighter than the pro- moters of the convention anticipated. It had been announced that Congressmen Bryan and McKeegan of Nebraska and Bland of Missouri would be preseut to address the con- vention, but none of them have put in an ap- pearance, and A. C. Shinn, vice president for Kansas of the National Bimetalic Association, who issued the call for today’s meeting, has received no reply to the personal invitation which he extended them. ‘The arrangements for the convention are iw- complete, and even Vice President Shinn ea ive, no details concerning the programa of the day. He will call the convention to order at 2o'clock afid expects that the entire after- noon session will be devoted to routine business, the evening session being reserved for speech- making. None but popntiste are showing any interest in the convention, members of both of the old perties studiously avoiding any participation in it. In point of numbers the convention will undoubtedly be a failure, but it is a foregone conclusion that formal resolutionsof thestrong- est possible character will be adopted in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the present ratio.

This was to be done by producing the punched westward halves of the tickets issued yy that road. It was said before the meeting began that the Chicago ticket affair would not be touched on unless deliberately raised by some member of the joint committee. It was learned from a trustworthy source that the ultimate motive of the attack on the ware, Lackawanna and Western and on the New York, Ontario and Western, the two roads in question, was to bring about a. reconsidera- tion of the present schedule of differential rates between here and Chicago. ‘The ground given for this interpretation of the movement was the well known disappoint- ment and dissatisfaction with cago passenger trafic and the resentment of the undue proportion of travel carried by the two roads having the lowest differentials. On the other hand the committee of agents in Chicago been collecting Ontario and Lackawana and eastern tickets to present evi- dence of the alleged flood of these tickets’on the Chicago market. ——— EDISON PATENTS SUSTAINED.

Situation of the Fifteenth Street Transfer Station Decided On. INTERVIEWS ON GARBAGE. The Collectors to Be Provided With Horns in the Future. TODAY'S OFFICIAL ORDERS. ‘The transfer box for the convenience of pas- sengers of the W. and G. R. R. Co., will be lo- cated in the middle of 15th street on a line with New York avenue. ‘Thin is practically the decision of the Com- missioners, who for the past two months have been giving the location of a transfer box seri- ous consideration. They realized the ne- cossity for some arrangement whereby the con- gested state of affairs at this point could be bettered, and Cept. Powell was given charge of the matter, tomake any recommendation he saw fit. It had practically been settled to locate the depot on the west side of 18th street directly opposite G street, and make all transfers there. ‘The Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company was requested to submit plans for a depot at this point, and did so, but were not ornamental enough, and Capt. Powell had one of his draftsmen make another and more elaborate pian for a depot. Since the dis- cussion in Tax Star. however. Capt. Powell has changed his views of the situation. While he believes the plan first proposed to bes good ‘one, he is willing to try another, and as stated above has recommended and the same has been agreed to, to place the transfer station in -the middle of 15th street. In conversation with » of Tae Stan on the subject Capt. Powell said: “agree fully with Tue Stag in ite solution of the transfer problem. The company should be made to es- tablich a ‘transfer station at the corner of 14th and Penrfylvania avenue, and run the i4th street line directly up Mth. The Commissioners, however, are werless to order this change. ‘The charter of the company gives it the right to run a double track. Personally I am opposed to double tracks on streets. Why look at Getreet. A more serious condition of affaits iy be imagined, One track along that street is more than sufficient. The merchants complain of the hardship, but the charter of the company protects it, gives the Commissioners no power to change the tracks. My idea would be in re- lution ‘to the question. of locating a transfor station for the W. and G. RR. to get the com- ny tomake the change. We cannot compel it.and I doubt very much if the company would be willing to make the change unless the Dis- trict paid the expense incident thereto.” New Orders. “Toot, toot, toot. Open the gate, open the rate.” ‘The ery of the garbage collector and the sound of his tin horn as of old will shortly re- sound in the alleys about the city. For some time past the Commissioners have been considering the best plan to enforce a collection of the garbage. The contractor claimed that the fault was with the house- holder and not with the collector. If the householders were compelled to place the garbage in an accessible place there would be no trouble, they w The Com- missioners did not feel justified in ordering the placing of garbage outside of the gates in the alleys, and yielding to the request of the cou- tractor, decided to return to the old tin-horn scheme and allow the collector to blow a horn for the purpose of warning the householders that the garbage man was around. Meneger Bayly of the National Sanitary Cogepeng bad a long and earnest conversation wil ommissioners this morning in rela- tion @ Gis subject. He contended that the blowing of horns was not a nuisance and he believed if the collectors were allowed to use them the complaints would be reduced to a minimum. He said that horns were used in the collection of garbage in Baltimore, New York and. Boston, and he did not seo any reason why they could not be used in this city. Commissioner Parker stated that it would be necessary to make a police tion on the subject before anything could be done. Upon reconsideration, however, he deeided to try the experiment and accordingly wrote the following letter to Health Officer Hammett: “The National Sanitary Company constantly complain that nt» large percentage of ‘the rexidences the garbage is not accessible: that repeated and prolonged calle and poundings fail to meet with response, and that ase conse- quence the garbage in many instances accu- mulates, “In the hope of correcting this the Commis- sioners direct that the National Sanitary Com- pany be permitted to blow a horn that notice may be had of their approach, that the garbage may be collected without unnecensary delay. It will be the duty of houseboiders to promptly respond to this call that col may be promptly made.” In conversation with a reporter of Taz Stam on this subject Commissioner Parker suid: ~ *We have just appointed an inspector for the purpose of investigating garbage complaints. “If he reports that complaints are groundless we may deem it proper to publish the name’ of the complainant who had no cause of com- plaint or whose cause of complaint was brought about through their own fault or neglect. “When we find that the National Sanitary Company are at fault we will exhaust every legal and otherwise, to correct the It must be manifest, however, to every one that a garbage cannot break into a house nor climb over a fence to remove garbage. Last year at thi time there were as high as 450 complaints a day, now we less than fifty, quite a difference and not an alarming percentage for a popula- tion of 250.000 people. One complaint for every 5,000 wouldn't seem to — fore- shadow the cholera, The mortality statement of the health officer is most gratifying, and shows the city to be in an excellent sanitary condition. So faras in their power the Com- missioners propose to keep it 80.” President Daly on the Horn. President Daty of the National Sanitary Com- pany in conversation with a Stan reporter this afternoon on the instructions given by the Commissioners allowing the use of a horn in the collection of garbage said: “Every garbage collector will be re- quired to carry a horn and to blow the same at each corner of a strect or alley, and also in the middle of the square, and when the horn has been sounded as vided if housekeepers and others interested do not set their garbage at some convenient place for removal within a reasonable time the cart will pass on. “When housekeepers and others have gates opening upon a street or alley and will set their garbage immediately on inside of the door or — gate, the garbage man time to penetrate any considerable distance into the house or yard. Where garbage is collected from the front door,the sounding of the horn is notice to householders to make ace cossible without delay. I have no doubt the use of the horn will greatly facilitate the work of collection and give satisfactory results,” Today's Orders. ‘The Commissioners today ordered— That gutter on cast side of let street north- east. north of F street, be repaired.
