SUPERVISOR GIVEN
COLD SHOULDER.
Nicholas Asks for Plans
and Is Turned Down
by His Colleagues
ABLERESOLUTION

Supervisor Fred Nicholas is In a po-
sition to write one-act farce entitled
How 1t Feels to Be Turned Down.
That's what happened to the head in
name, If not in fact. of the building
committee at the meeting of the Su-
pervisOrs yesterday afternoon.
Nicholas presented a resolution call
ing on the Works Board TO prepare
plans and it was pigeOnholed.
At the tag-end of the meeting, when
half the Supervisors had adjourned
themselves away and the rest were
sleeping in their chairs. Nicholas pre-
sented his resolution. 1t was, in brief.
a request that the Board OF Public
Works formulate plans and specihca-
tions for municipal building 10 be
erected at Eighth and Mission streets.
and to submit such plans, together with
an estimate Of the cost.
Supervisor Boxton said that he un-
derstood plans were already prepared
and the lot being put in shape. The
reply came from Nicholas that he could
find no city architect.
Supervisor Gallagher objected. He
said that the offer OF the lot had not
been made in writing and that he did
not believe In ordering plans until
lot were assured.
From Supervisor Nichols came the
retort that he was trying to force the
matter to an issue, and he admitted
that he was blank when IL came TO
personal knowledge.
The war Of words was closed by a
motion to lay the resolution over and
the building committee was instructed
to find out just what are the eondi-
tions that surround the offer OF the
property.
There promises to be a lively battle
over the proposed ordinance that will
give to the Board of Supervisors ex-
elusive authority in granting permits
for stables. Under the existing ordi-
nance the stableman must secure the
consent of all property owners. within
radius OF 200 feet before going ahead
with his building Supervisor Wilson
presented the majority report, favoring
taking this permission out of the hands
OF the property owners and placing il
with the board Supervisor Lonergan
presented a minority report. giving
property owners the right TO object.
Upon the motion OF Supervisor Cof-
fey the ordinance was referred to the
committee of the whole. which will
discuss its provisions Tuesday morn =
ing.
Supervisor Gallagher suggested that
both stabIemen and owners OF property
are entitled TO consideration and that
the 200 feet could be changed TO Is
feet.
The tax levy Of 1892 and the debris
ordinance were finally passed, and the
permit asked by the Palace Hotel
Laundry TO operate a steam boiler on
Post street was granted.

Arrivals continue very moderate owing to the
continued slowness of the railroad in making
deliveries. Yesterdays receipts included "a cars.
but of these only IL run out, which caused
a scramble for supplies among buyers. The
situation is thus explained by the circular Of
Somers & Co.:
I'VE have very uninteresting Hay market

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.
Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, July 12.-Despite slight advance
at Liverpool, the local wheat market opened easy
on moderate selling by pit traders. Prices. how
ever, quickly recovered and for the remainder
of the day sentiment in the wheat pit was bull
ish. Rains in the Canadian Northwest and
prospects of unfavorable weather in the spring
wheat territory OF this country, together with
higher prices for wheat at Minneapolis, tended
TO advance prices here. The strength of the
northwestern market seemed to confirm the re-
ports of damage by rust in the wheat fields of
North Dakota. Foreign news also favored the
bulls. II was reported that the crop In Southern
Russia had been badly damaged by rain and
that Argentine reports had declined. The mar
ket closed strong. September opened unchanged
to h6Nc lower at 7sc TO 1915 @1SAe, advanced
to 7eh q T9H c and closed &c up at 7Sk @79c.
The corn market under heavy selling
pressure all day and weak tone prevailed
throughout. September opened unchanged to ise
lower at 52s. d527s sold between 52ssc and 53c
and closed of ssc at 5211c.
The oats market steady because or fresh
reports of damage by dry weather. September
opened unchanged to Il c lower at 364sc TO 5oAc,
sold up TO 363sc and closed &c up at 36c.
Provisions were rather weak on selling by local
packers but trading light. A DC decline In
the price OF live hogs was weakening influence;
At the close September pork was on loc, lard
was down 716c and ribs were INC lower
The leading futures ranged as follows:

scarce and some handlers quoting even higher
