CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago. March 13.-The carly news con-
nected with wheat taken altogether was
encouraging to the bulls and a the start
the market recovered somewhat from the
extreme dependency it evinced Saturday.
A better feeling was impaired by steady
foreign markets and the small worlds
shipments last week. Tho exports from
this country comprised about 65 per cent.
of the total. while Russian and the Da-
nubian combines furnished only about Is
per cent May opened Amasc higher at
from 691ac up to 695sM69a4c. but the de-
mand at the improvement was not urgent
Scattered selling by commission houses
forced the price off to 69asc At the point
however, the selling pressure slackencd
and an upward tendency set in. The prin-
cipal feature of the days news was the
crop damage reports. They came from all
directions and made much more positive
claims of winter killing than previous ad-
vices. Near the close the reported dam
age to the Indian wheat crop by drought
and the steadiness of European markets
caused this market to rule firm to the
end. From 693sc for May the price grad
ually rose to 701sc. when slight reaction
set in on profit taking and May closed at
97Tsn70c. -at
Corn gained little in sympathy with
wheat, also owing to the rHCCip.s of quite
few buying orders from the country.
One of the heaviest local shorts was the
principal buyer. Liquidation of long corn
seemed to have run its course May closed
re higher.
Oats were firm in sympathy with other
grains. There was good scattered de-
mand for May. but July was more or less
neglected, May closed "sWl2C advance.

DISCUSSED INSURANCE
Joint Meeting Board of Trade and City
Council Committees

The insurance committee of the Board
of Trade, T. L. MCGOWAN, chairman, had
conference with Mayor Drennen and AL
derman J. T.. Lynaugh, chairman of the
fire committee of the city council, yester-
day afternoon in the mayors office for the
purpose of urging the importance of in
creased fire protection.
They went over the situatio quite thor
oughly and showed that with an increase
in the fire department, such as Chief Null
len recommended in his recent report, the
insurance rate in this city would be low
cred something like 35 cents on the hun
dred; that Birmingham would be listed
with cities of the first class 1t was stated
that no one seemed able to give the
amount of insurance carried in Birming-
ham. but at the lowest figures 1T is be-
lieved that with the rate lowered IS cents
there would be a total saving of between
twenty and twenty-five thousand dollars
The Board of Trade committee naturally
took the ground that as the increased fire
service asked for would not cost in the
way of maintenance over S13,500 per an
mum, that it would be simple economy for
the council to make the necessary appro>
priation. The mayor and Chairman Ly-
naTgh manifested much interest in the
matter and it was understood that they
will favor the increased appropriation
when the question comes before the board
of aldermen.
