CHICAGO, July 16.-The corn mar.
ket suffered decentralization because o.
the break up of the drouth, September
closing 5$s@51ac under Saturday.
Wheat felt this and weak cables and
closed 5s0Ac reduced. Oats closed
1ac down and provisions from 715019c
lower in lard to 30c depressed in pork.
Corn at the outset assumed the de-
cidedly weak position which made il
the center of attraction on Change
during the day. The opening was at
a loss and early trading jammed the
price still further down. There was
practically one factor-rain in gener-
GUS quantities in the corn belt, Kan
sas especially. Message after message
announced that the drouth had been
broken and the crop left with the
brightest prospects. There was rain
Sunday and more to-day. Country ac-
ceptances were heavy Local people
got 10000 bushels on bids sent in last
night September opened 1850 to 2%c
down at 43c to 42c and met practical
ly no demand as the market had
slumped to 4014c. True, there was a
reaction early, September rallying to
42c after declining to 41ssc, but it did
not hold for any time. Liquidation
was general and the prices wobbled
wonderfully as times as holders look
ed here, there and everywhere for pur-
chasers. At the bottom the selling
pressure was less vigorous and shorts
took profits. This resulted in little
recovery, but the close was decidedly
weak, September 33s@31ac under Sat

100 loads, and perhaps ITO loads work

week of 100000 bushels. Liverpool

In wheat it was a case of holders
continuing to let go while there was
very small short interest to absorb
Offering. The selling encouragement
was found in the corn weakness, in
weak cables from Liverpool, and in
rains in the northwest and continued
more favorable reports from that sec
ton of the country. However, reports
over northwestern conditions contin-
ued to conflict and many good authori-
ties predicted a one-third crop for
North Dakota. New York reported II
loads taken for export, but the price
was still out of line here. September
option opened higher to lower at rs to
77ssc and gradually under the liqui-
dating pressure sagged to 1850. As in
corn there was some recovery from the
bottom, but at the close was weak.

were 10S' cars, II of contract grade.

The increase proposed in the fire depart
ment is practically the same as in the
police department. Ordinary firemen will
be raised, IL the bill passes, from $40 to SIS
per month, and the increase corresponds in
the other grades to the increase proposed
in the police department.
Following the Introduction of the new
salary ordinance, Councilman Castleman
introduced bill raising the salaries of the
street commissioner and the superintendent
of the water department from $1,000 to $500
annually. Both bills were given a first
reading, and will probably come up for final
action next Monday night.
Western Avenue improvements.
The vexed question of whether or not
Western avenue shall be replanked from
Union street to Cedar street was settled
last night by the council ordering the work
done. The matter came up in a recon-
mendation from the board of public works.
Councilman Muldoon moved that the work
be ordered. Mr.. Rude moved as an amend
ment that the board of public works be
instructed to reject all bids which 1t had
received and to defer advertising for more
bids. This opened the floodgates of discus
sion, and the matter was debated at length.
The proposed improvement has been OPP
posed by several property owners, who
claim that First avenue is in such good
planking of two parallel streets which feed
practically the same portion of the city.
After a lengthy debate, Rude's motion to
reject all bids was lost, and Muldoon's mo-
ton to order the work carried. The vote
on Rude's motion was as follows

was passed by two-thirds vote over
the mayors veto.
Councilman Crawford who has been rec
ognized as the most unceasing advocate
of the measure In the council. called the
matter up. and moved to pass the ordi-
nance over the veto. Councilman Diller,
an opponent of the ordinance, wanted the
veto message read, and Clerk Coryell had
started to read the voluminous document
when Mr.. Diller changed his mind. Craw-
ford's motion to pass the ordinance car
ried without debate. The vote was fol-
