Mayor I'uttun presided over yester day's meetings of the Joint Boaid .-mil tlic Hoard ol Aldermen, which were three quarters of an hour late beginning. Those iti attendance were Advisors Saw- anil Gwyn, and Aldermen Junes, Wcstall, II. 1,. (iudger, Cosliy and J. M. Guelder. liusiucss was transacted its follows: The finance committee submitted a re port regarding the $.'1,000 deposited by M. II. Kelly, contractor for the new pipe line, tia a guarantee, and the committee recommended that the question be sub mitted to City Attorney Sondlcy. Re port adopted. Dull Merrick, esq , entered a piotcst against the manner of construction of the rock wall in front ot Mis. Dull'ield's piopcrty on Huston street, declaring that the wall was ugly and practically useless. Clerk Miller looked up the record and it said that a "dry rock wall" should be constructed, and no action on Mr. Merrick s request was taken. lo the city attorney was referred the iticstioii of whether t lie Hoard can lavv- lully expend for further improvement the money panl m 1:1 th" w;iy or assessments on paving heretofore done. Instructions were given the street com- nuttce to construct a rock wall in front ol Mrs. M. M. Junes' property on I'atton i veil tie.

RliCOVEKY. moiiev lias Hecouie 11 en '-y ut Houllieru Trade Centers, Nicw Yiikk, Sept. 23. R. O. Dunn & Co's weekly review of trade says: "There is no longer only a miscrospic or sentimental improvement that cannot be measured. Some increase is seen both in production and distribution of pro ducts. True it is smaller as yet, but af ter the worst financial blizzard for 20 years. It is not to be expected that all roads can lie clear in a day. I5ut all conditions, except at Washington, favor gradual recovery, liusincss goes on in unquestioning confidence that the general desire of the people will in some way pre vail. Money has liecome abundant and easy at 3 per cent, here on call, and speculation fortunately favors greater freedom in commercial loans. Stock and products arc dull without serious fall in prices, the industries are rapidly rallying to make good the scarcity of supplies, caused by weeks of inaction. The vitality of the demand for goods, such was the wonderful consuming power of the people, if lessened for a time, Las not ceased, and the shrinkage in the record of commercial disease and mortality shows progress toward health. Neither the advance ofl', gc in exchange nor the small absorption ol gold by the treasury lias been felt, for the mint is a long way beyond the point ut which it waited with breathless anxiety for steamers. Monetary condi tions favor revival of trade and indus try. While renewals arc us large asever, commercial loans ar? no longer un known.'' Six out of a dozen Southern trade cen tres report a gain over last week. Will Tlierv lie a Saloon on IMItou Avenue? When the Hoard of Aldermen met Huff Merrick, esq , presented a petition from 11. Southwiek requesting license to sell liquors in the Grand Central hotel building. At first thought il seemed that the old "I'attoiiaveuucsaliiou" question was coming up, hut Mr. Merrick said that it was the in tent ion of the petitioner to have the saloon in the basement of the hotel, and the entrance would be from West College street. Of course one entrance would lie from I'atton avenue. as patrons of the saloon could go to the bar liy way of the hold office. The ques tion was at once sprung whether the I saloon would he within 100 feet of the M. C. A. building. Mayor I'atton recalled the storm of indignation raised by the granting of a license for a saloon on I'atton avenue last year, anil said the Hoard could not he looearelul. An order was made instructing City linginecr Lee to measure the distance between the proposed saloon and the V. M. C. A. .Mr. Merrick later on produced the law concerning the granting of licenses, and said Mr. Southwiek did not want to run a bar in the ordinary acceptance of the term, but as a part of a first-class bote-. Alderman loncssaid if there were an en trance on I'atton avenue liv which patrons could go to the bar.it would iniount to about the same thinr as hav ing a main entrance on the avenue. Mr. Men ick pleaded against delay but the order stood. Doctor I'eWlioii Mr. Wcstall submitted an ordinance prohibiting the sale of fish and oysters outside of the market house, anil provid ing a tine of $10 for violation thereof. It docs not apply to persons sellinc; fresh water fish "of their own catchiiiL!." Chas. A. Webb, esq , presented a peti tion signed bv nearly all of the city's physicians asking that no such restric tions be placed about the succulent bivalve, as in eases where sick persons need oysters it frequently hapiicns that the market is closed and were the ordi nance passed it might be a detriment to the health ol the alorcsaid sick patient. Mr. Jones, speaking about the petition. said that such things weregenerallv got ten up by persons interested, .and any body would sign them he might sigrti tnem lumsell. 1 lie ordinance passed on first reading, hut laid over a week be cause of Mr. Cosbv's objection to a motion to suspend the rules. A jury was ordered to assess beiichts and award damages on an extension ol Short street. Hcliool I'ouiiiililet'iiiiiii On motion of Mr. Wcstall the Hoard rc-elcctcd II. A.

City Ivngincerl.ee reported assessments lor sidewalk work on various streets, wliu-h were adopted. 1 he market house hucksters presented their xinti-pcdilkr petition. No action was taken, uud a further rciiuest for lower rents was referred to the market house committee. ( in motion ot Mr. Jones an order was made that all delinquent taxpayers who will pay their taxes by November 1 shall have receipt in full without paying tlic o per cent, torleit. MlralKlitout And Ueforiucr. J. M. Gudger made the statement that if there was one underpaid official in the city's cniplov that one was Market Keeper lirwin, who had to be about the market from o'clock a. in. to S p. m every day except Sunday, and all this for the beggarly sum ol tt l a month: He iv as a good officer, said Mr. Uudgcr, and although he looked over the politi cal fence contrariwise to Mr. C.ude'er that gentleman moved that his salary be increased to $ !." a month.

The platform de nounced the Sherman law as a make shift not a part of. it, but the whole. And yet the bill repealed only a simile clause of the act. leaving the other parts six sections m full force. So far horn the bill carrying out the Democratic platform, it was a gross violation of a direct reversal of its plain unambiguous declaration. Attempted Train Wreekliii:. I'.vi:ttk, Me., Sept. 23.
