THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
An Improvement In the CASH Demand
for Wheat.

CHICAGO, March S.-Wheat was tirner
today. The opening was easier on the in
different tone of Liverpool cables, which
were 1-Sd lower, and the Price Current
summary which reported the wheat situa-
ton unchanged and the marketable supply
much larger than possible distribution be-
fore the new crop. An Improvement in the
cash demand. 800, 600 bushels bsing worked
here for export, and the strength in corn
caused shorts uneasiness, and n cent rally
followed. Primary receipts were 50,0e3
bushels less than last year ''fi't
Corn was lie over Wednesday Ship
pers were buyers of futures all day. There
have been many indications today tEat
good deal of shipping business is under
way. The aggregate this week viii be very
large. Receipts were only 2S2 Ears, with
300 for tomorrow.
Oats were without much feature merely
kept firm by the strength of corn and
wheat. and tonight's prices are practically
where they were Wednesday. Receipts
were l13 cars. with 215 for tomorrow.
Clearances were $4,000 bushels. The 'send-
ment is not bullish and oats follow corn
rather sluggishly. --r .-..
Provisions opened quiet and steady, but
soon firmed up. and had n sharp advance on
buying led by packers and closed strong at
the improvement. On the advance there
was quite an increase in the outside in
vestment demand and shorts did consider
able covering. Tho interest is still large.
particularly in pork, considering the light
stocks here. Hog receipts were again
lighter than expected and that market
was strong. The cash trade was some
what better.

SPEED RULES TO BE ENFORCED.
Automobiles to Receive the Special
Attention of tie Police.

Major Sylvester called the attention Of
the Police Department last night to the
regulation governing the speed Of vehicles
in public thoroughfares. He referred par
ticularly to automobiles and locomobiles
and directed that the law relating to such
vehicles be rigidly enforced Arrests will
hereafter be made in every case brought
TO the notice of the police where the speed
law is violated, and it is hoped complaints
will be lessened materially by such ac-
ton.
The law under which action 1s taken was
framed by the Commissioners some time
ago. Ii is in view OF the Introduction Of
the electric carriage that special action by
the police in It's enforcement is thought
desirable. The regulation provides that no
bicycle or horse vehicle shall be pro-
PEELED across interesting streets or ear
tracks at a speed greater than six miles an
hour II further limits the speed of street
cars To twelve miles an hour. Other yehi
Giles are also brought under these rules and
must be governed accordingly. -s.

Referring to rumors circulating in c0m-

terday:
1T is nothing but a continuance of the
rumors that have been started by specu-
lators for the past twelve years. Con-
steering the fact that my company is eX-
tending its lines and establishing regu
larry new Offices, there seems 10 be no
Indication that the two companies will
