There Is good prospect that Van Buren
will within short time have more up
to date system Of fire alarm, As hereto
fore II was first necessary for a distant
alarm to be telephoned to the central
Office and from there to some other
point near the bell tower. The proposed
improvement consists IN placing the
alarm bell on the roof Of the Citizens
Bank building above the telephone
central Office, so that by IN electric de.
vice the alarm can be sounded direct
from that office, BY dividing the city
into districts and having n certain mum.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, January On heavy
demand >ad light offerings provisions
showed a strength and activity far out
shining the grain markets to-day, May
pork closing 223a W25c, May lard l21s@f
15c and May ribs 15c higher. Wheat
was depressed by the Liverpool weak
ness, but sgeadied on war news and
strength of provisions.
May closed 1sWAc under yesterday
Corn closed unchanged and oats a
shade better.
Under the first shock Of large hog re-
celpts and lower prices at the yards
the provisions market weakened, show
ing shade losses at the opening This
was speedily regained The demand
was good early and improved as the
session progressed and the holders
were coy and bids were constantly
raised. The pit was animated the
greater part of the session. May pork
ranged from $40 go at the opening to
$40 921a and closed 221zQ25c higher
at $40 S71s010 80. May lard from
IS STU to S. 05, closing 121a@ 15c up
at So 021a@6 05, and May ribs from
SIS IS to So S0@5 S21a, with the close
l5c over yesterday at IS 80.
Wheat was dull and heavy, lower ca
bles and the good Argentine crop news
being depressing factors. The decline
was not important, however. May
opened 1sc down at 695s 069s4c, sold
down to $685. @691ac, rallied on buying
against puts and on a little buying in
fiuenced by the strength of provisions,
touching 69A @697sc, and eased OF,
closing 1sDAc under yesterday at
$3.50. Primary receipts were 4S2,897
bushels against 754,546 last year. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported $40 cars,
compared with 279 last week and AL
year ago. Receipts here were 81 cars,
none of which graded contract. New
York reports Is boatloads taken for ex-
port. Seaboard shipments in wheat and
flour were equal to 100000 bushels.
While this news was considered bear
ish by some. many traders were in
clined to ignore it, pinning their faith
to degree to the possibility Of Ger
man interference in British-Boer af-
fairs and to the strength of provisions.
During the last hour of trading a fair
volume OF business was transacted and
the tendency seemed to be towards
firmness.
Corn early was inclined to be easy on
somewhat freer country offerings, but
the strength of provisions turned the
scale and the close was firm. Early
there was selling by elevator people and
some realizing by floor traders. Up to
noon, the market was easy. but the
crowd after that took more cognizance
of the provisions advances bought corn.
Receipts were 315 cars and at primary
points $4,000 bushels against Psi ,O0C
last year. Atlantic port cIearances
were 5000 bushels.
There was a large business done in
oats to-day, over 250,000 bushels bought
to load and hold till the opening Of
navigation. Receipts were 14f cars.
May ranged from 1850 to 241241sc,
closing firm and a shade over yesterday
at 24c
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat
is cars. corn $50 cars. Oats 1G5 cars,
hogs $4,000 head
