for 1925 FOR a quarters rent for fire protec-
ton from February lat to May lst, for which
the Council at q called meeting held last

cause OF the failure OF the company 10 fur

decline TO pay tile bill. lie contended that
the company had fully compiled with its
contract except in the instance OF falling to
furnish water at one tre, and this was brought
about under circumstances which perhaps
would not occur again In lifetime. He

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Produce.

CHICAGO. Nov 1s.-Wheat-A fair volume Of
business was transacted in speculative way. The
market opened dull and featureless. but sfterward
developed moro life. within a somewhat irregular
course of prices The December futures after ruling
for some little time at about the closing figures OF
Saturday, suddenly broke loose from Nav and de-
elined 1ssc while the May futures declined only SCI
held quiet and steady and closed l0c lower Tor De-
eelnber, while May closed same closing figures Of
saturday. The weakness. especially in the Deem
Der futures, attributed mainly 10 speculative
huences. II was limited that a prominent local
trader undertook 10 close out wheat for Deem
ber and other traders having taken the cue, sold IL
out from under him. Difference hetween the
December and May futures wldened from 3iSfd3L.c
90 41Ec under this movement and closed al 40
premium. European market adyices quoted wheat
steady and firm, and Beerbohm cables quoted higher
prices asked, but closing private cables quiet
The visible supply increased 559, 600 bushels The
principal points which figured in the increase were
the spring wheat points, while nearly all OF the
winter wheat points, Baltimore excepted, showed
decreases from 1000 to 40, 600 bushels The canals
showed an increase and the lakes a large decrease
Receipts In the Northwest continue large New
York wired that there were numerous export orders
Tor wheat there and that miers also inQuiring
for wheat An order 20 buy 10000 bushels of No.
hard was sent 10 Minneapolis at &c above yester-
bought wheat Tor May delivery both at Chicago and
Duluth. COrn-A fair speculative business was
transacted and the feeling developed on Saturda
easier there being considerable pressure brought
70 bear on the near futures. The weaker tone was
attributed mainly 20 tho increasing receipts. The
wet weather here did not appear to have much effect
on values, as west Of the Mississippi the weather
was reported cold and clear. The market opened at
the closing prices of Saturday, was steady for a
time, taen sold off 14S1sc, ruled steady and
closed 1SG5sc lower than Saturday. Oats-Were
active, stronger and higher, but outside prices were
not maintained until the close. The advance was
due almost entirely to the buying for May by large
operator who caused an appreciation of 3Sd19c.
There was fair selling AZ the top, and recession OF
