SUBURBAN APARTMENT

petition to the railroad commissioners asking for gates and a watchman to be placed at the Bridge street crossing. At 10:3O the board adjourned for two weeks
 At the meeting of the board of war den and burgesses one of the members inquired of the clerk if he had heard from the railroad management in re- street crossing. The clerk replied in the negative. Burgess Westbrook said it was about time something was done about this matter. "The other day was up there and the bell was ringing along merrily and although I waited half an hour no train came in sight Some time ago a request for gates and watchman was sent to the railroad management and they sent back very curt reply saying that the bell on Bridge street Is all right if the public will go as the law says it must, that is, watch and listen, but as Burgess West brook remarked, a man in hurry would be waiting all day according to the way that bell rings. Sooner or later the railroad will be compelled to furnish gates and watchman at this crossing. The crossing is with its presentsprotection a.regular death trap, inasmuch as besides the adults who travel that way the crossing Is used by several hundred little children on their way to and from school.

Primitive Vehicles fin ChiIi.

A recent report from United States Consul Mansfield at Valparaiso does not convey favorable impression of the progress of mechanical science in Chilli. Most of the vehicles used in that country, he says, are primitive in design and crude in construction. Clumsy two-wheeled carts, in most in- stances without springs. are general ly used. In the country districts oxen draw the carts, the yokes by which the animals are attached resting on their heads just back of the horns, where they are fastened by strips of rawhide, AS their heads are deprived of freedom of action the oxen some- times suffer torture from the jarring of the heavy carts. Carts similar in design, but lighter, and furnished with shafts, are drawn by horses in the cities. In town and country alike, goods are commonly transported on the backs of horses and mules.-- Youths Companion.

HEAVY FOUNDATIONS
LOWER THE WHEAT MARKET,
JULY CLOSES CENT LOWER
AT 715-S CENTS.
Corn Declines in Sympathy, but
Oats and Provisions Hold
Unchanged.

Chicago, May 7.-Heavy liquidation in
wheat by prominent holders resulted in a
decidedly weak market to-day and closing
prices were 1c lower for July. while May
was off 1lsc. July corn closed sc lower.
with oats unchanged. Provisions We're
steady. the July products closing from a
shade to 2,2c higher.
WHEAT.
The sentiment in the wheat pit was eX-
tremely bearish. outside markets being low
err. while cables were also lower and the
weather favorable for the growing crop.
Under these influences the market opened
a tritie easier. July being IA shade lower. at
72tsc, while May was unchanged to &c low
er at 7Sssc to 7Sssc. Commission-houses
We're liberal sellers early In the day and
there was also selling by brokers'. which
was credited to the leading long. who was
supposed to be getting out of his July hold

began to follow this lead and the price

July closed steady at the decline, at 1ss@

and Duluth report receipts of Us cars,
which. with local receipts of "a cars, l of
contract grade, made total receipts for the
three points of l22 cars, against III last
week, and IA a year ago.
CORN.
The weakness in wheat had but little eff
feet on corn. and as u rule the market
showed firmness. with a fair demand and
small offerings. There was only scattered
trade by cornnissinn-louses and the vol
ume of business was light. The weather
was more favorable for planting. being gen.
orally fair with moderating temperatures:
Receipts were moderate and cash demand
fairly good. After selling between 4iAs0
44!ec and 441sc. July closed sc lower at
4412c. Local receipts were Isl cars. with
four of contract grade.
OATS.
Oats were quiet and held steady, not
withstanding the break in wheat prices.
Commission-houses sold quite freely at the
opening, but the offerings were readily alb
sorbed. Receipts We're small and the cash
demand somewhat improved. There was a
little late selling in sympathy with the
lower prices in wheat, but the close was
steady with July unchanged at 3l7sc. after
