CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, March 16.-The wheat
traders had little new to talk about
last night. Bear leaders were said to
be short a little more than they were
the previous night, and seemed con-
f1dent of their position. They sal dthat
the dullness in the cash situation, con-
tinued absence of the export business
and the general apathy Of the trade
the world over favored lower prices.
They were not all scared by the re-
ports Of dust storms in the northwest,
as there is no crop there to hurt as
yet. 1t was said, however, that the
dry surface at this season indicated
that there was comparatively little
moisture in the subsoil and that it
might be a factor later. The pit ele-
ment is inclined to be bullish, but as
one trader put it, eve keep one foot
on the base all the time"

WILL DESIGNATE
POLLING PLACES
CALLED MEETING OF THE CITY
COUNCIL WILL BE HELD MON.
DAY NIGHT TO DESIGNATE
POLLING PLAcEs-oRpINANcEs
WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Mayor Lowell has issued a call for
special meeting Of the city council,
which will be held Monday evening at
the council chambers in the city
building.
One of the main purposes Of this
meeting will be the consideration and
designation Of the polling places for
the city during the year of 1911. AS
yet this year, the places for ballotting
haYe not been named and it is up to
the council to select these before the
next election, which will be held be-
fore the April meeting of the alder
men.
AT recent meeting of the school
board some objection was raised by
school patrons and teachers, at the
city using the school buildings for poll
ing places. 1t was alleged that the
crowd that gathered around the school
building attracted the attention of the
students from their studies and made
successful work for the day almost
impossible. 1t was further stated that
IL required some time to get the odor
of tobacco smoke, which was raised by
the poll workers, from the building,
which was very disagreeable.
1t is preslTled that some one from
the city school board will ask the coun-
ell at its meeting Monday evening, not
TO name the different school buildings
as polling places.
A number Of ordinances will also
have the consideration of the council
at the meeting Monday evening. City
Attorney Shure has prepared two good
ordinances relating to employment
houses and the licensing Of horse trad
ers and sellers who are transients, and
these will have the recognition of the
city dads.
