New sy.tem Being Put In.

For the past three weeks workmen have been busy stringing new cables over the city for the Bell Telephone system and putting the wires in good condition.

 The partition between the two offices Tn which central Is now located will be torn down and made into one large room. The new switchboard will have small electric lights instead of the llt- tie drop of the old system and when a subscriber lifts the receiver from the hook the light will burn brightly on the little lamp that represents his number. The force that recently reached here will also exchange the present instruments for the latest made ones! which will. be put In all over the city.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISION

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
 Chicago, May 17.-Heavy profit taking in the Northwest caused a setback in wheat prices here today. At the close the price of wheat for July delivery was off Y O visions are practically unchanged.
 Weakness was manifested in the wheat market throughout the entire session. At @S7hc Two main factors entered into the situation to contribute to the initial decline. One of these influences was weakness of the wheat market at Liverpool More slg-- nificance, however, was generally attached to the prospects of clear weather in tile spring wheat country. official reports In dicating clear skies and higher tempere- lures throughout the Northwest. Soon after the opening covering by shorts forced up the price of July to STA qs7Ac but re- action quickly occurred During the early part of the session trading was active. several large holders being liberal sellers. Sharp declines at Minneapolis and Duluth pressure was checked materially by re- port of a Chicago crop expert. The season which at the end of March" said this au- thority was unusually early, at the middle of May Is distinctly late. Weather con- ditions for three weeks have been wholly unfavorable both for plant growing and port there was little news of bullish tenor At sex @S6%c the July option touched the lowest point of the day. Dur ing the last haR hour of trading shorts
 
 caused only slight rally. The market was weak at the close with final quotations on July at S6% @ S6hc.
 The May option was again the star at traction in the corn market. At the start the market was exceedingly strong. Higher prices however, soon brought out liberal of ferings and with the slump in wheat a mod crate reaction occurred. A report from Philadelphia claiming a sale of 100000 bushels for export however, revived bull- ish feeling The market closed strong. May opened unchanged to 1hc higher at 531 54hc, sold between 52hc and 54Ac and closed at 53hc. July opened % O hc higher at 4sA G4SMc, sold between 4S@4Shc and ls%c and closed at 4SAc.
