overlook it. The directors at their
meeting had before them n

The prospects for activity
in the construction Of down
town buildings in Chicago
Chicago


have received a serious setback in the
refusal of the Council to permit struc-
lures Of over 132 feet. 1t is stated that
the total cost Of construction of eighteen
buildings, mostly in the business district,
for which plans have been prepared. will
be $4,000. 600. but some Of the enter
prises are contingent on the Councils
attitude. Builders would like to see this
money invested.
Evidences multiply Of the steadily I'M
proving position of real estate. Inquiries
for north shore dwellings for summer oc-
cupation are already bein. made. The
suburbs are attracting each year larger
proportion of ChicagO's population. In
manufacturing properties an active mar
ket is reported.
Grains and provisions were lower. May
wheat losing 25s cents on the weeks
movement and May corn 81 cents. Liq-
uidation In wheat was caused by snow in

mand. Enormous receipts Of coffee made
the market weaker and prices are easier.
Money shows increasing ease. The
Bank Of England reduced its discount
rate from 4 to 311s per cent. but there is
a suspicion that the London market IS
being prepared for a new loan. Call
rates in New York are practically nom--
inal. and while commercial funds the
country over are in good demand rates
are gradually easing. Country banks are
increasing their city balances and are
buying commercial paper freely They
have been advised BY the city banks to be
cautious in their purchases. particularly
of city paper. and to make no such pur-
chases without consulting their city cor
respondents.
