CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-The wheat market war
inclined to be weak all day, although the pro-
nounced strength OF coarse grain tended to
steady prices late in the session. The market
opened weak, owing to a decline Of 11sd at
Liverpool and to continued heavy movement
in the northwest.
The weakness abroad was said to have been
due to increased offerings of Argentine wheat.
News of the day was almost exclusively in
favor Of the bears. Export demand was slack,
primary receipts were liberal Bradstreet 8
report on the worlds visible supply showed an
increase Of 900 bushels, compared with a
decrease Of 2190O0 bushels the corresponding
time last year, and final estimate made by
a prominent crop expert on the wheat crop Of
Kansas placed the total yield at 100000 bush
els in excess of the government estimate.
Prices rallied nearly 1 cent from the low
point of the day on covering by shorts which
was based on the sharp advances in corn and
oats. The close was steady. May opened
ss41c lower, at $1.01hQ1.0OM, sold off to S1.0OM
and closed at s1.01a.
The corn market was decidedly strong be-
cause of demand by leading bulls Offerings
through the day were light. A ready demand
for all offerings on the sample table at 1sc
advance created considerable bullishness among
traders in options.
Talk of almost total depletion OF stocks in
the east also exerted a powerful influence on
buyers. The close was strong. May opened
A@3sc lower, at 551a@554sc, advanced to 56%
@664c and closed at 56ssQ561ac
Oats were strong about all day, owing to an
eXcellent demand Tor caSn gram, Wnlcn was
eagerly taken by eastern shippers The mar
ket closed strong. May opened Nc lowerA at
5o%, sold at 50Nc and then advanced to 53c,
and closed at 521Ac.
Provisions were strong all day on buying by
shorts, based chiefly on small stocks Of lard
in store here. The bulge in coarse grains,
however, had considerable effect At the close

Railroad Commissioners Joseph +. Bur-
lingame has granted to the Rhode Island
company permission to cross certain
grades In the cross town route the COM
pany is building in the two OF cranston.
And thereby hangs a new Interpretation
or the law relating to crossing streets,
tracks and highways which has never be-
fore been made.
The Rhode Island company recently
made application to Commissioner Bur-
lingame for permission to lay rails in the
town of Cranston from a point on Park
avenue In that town at or near the corner
OF Narragansett avenue. thence easterly
along Park avenue to Broad street, cross
ing all railroads, streets. highways or
travelled highways at grade.
Commissioner Burlingame has been
over the ground and thoroughly in
spected the proposed crossings and has
given the necessary permission. and
the railroad company will begin work
at once. The crossings involved are
those at Elmwood and Warwick ave-
nues.
Heretofore the law has been con-
strued TO permit a railroad to cross
its own tracks without let or hindrance
and without irst seeking permission
from the railroad commissioner.
1t has also been construed to per-
NIT the crossing of other streets. as
many as was considered necessary or
desirable. without making application,
provided only that such crossings did
not involve crossing another company's
tracks.
Mr.. Burlingame. however, construes the
law differently. and the attorney-general
bears him out In his contention.
This means that hereafter, at least
while Commissioner Burlingame Is In Of
flee, electric or steam road that desires
to cross street. whether or not there is
Track on II, must irst obtain permis-
sion from the railroad commissioner. even
though the city or town council OF the

sion.
