New business in oats last week was
light interior holders are not uneasy
over the liberal importations Of Can
adam oats, although there are a num-
Der OF cargoes still to come In. Local
spectators did most Of the business In

"The new corn Is weighing about 20

the December crop report Is out, sub
tract 20 per cent from 1t for light

crop. This town has been furnishing
about Ave cars per week of corn and
oats in towns in southern Illinois at &c
per blu above market bids. They were
offered 63c net, their track Saturday,

Concordia, Kans.. reports that in

been bought by farmers and dealers
around there to be shipped in as soon

Market Notes

The corn situation, simnaered down,
is dependent upon the weather and the
attitude Of the farmer in selling. High
prices continue to be paid for old corn
by feeders and there are large numbers
of cattle and sheep on feed in Iowa.
Illinois and Indiana that have been
shipped in because Of the anticipated
good supply OF corn, SO that a heavy
consumption is anticipated. While the
was the lightest at this time in years,
shipments were almost double the re-
ceipts, being 1,015,000 bu, against 81e,-
600 blu last year, and stocks should
show q good decrease.
Canadian distillers were large buyers
of corn in store here last week, secur-
plies at Nc over December. Argentina
corn sold In New York as low as 67c,
or shc over the price at Liverpool. It
Is said that the Liverpool trade recent
ly overbougIt on Argentina corn on the
belief that the shortage in America
would result In high prices, and the
heavy decline there Of late has been the
result of liquidation. which Ia said to
be well over
Cash corn prices in the southwest
continue to attract attention from the
grain trade Of the country, due to their
extremely high level. st. Louis advanc-
ed h@lc Saturday. with q good de-
mand, while Kansas City was un-

OBJECTS TO PAVING
OF UNIMPORTANT STREET

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir: | was very much interested I'm
letter to the Chamber of Commerce
from George Branson, a former resi-
denf Of this city. Some of the COM
ments were particularly good. One
of especial interest was the condition
of Front street between Market and
French, that il gives one entering the
city the idea of it being a secondhand
city from the display of old shoes and
clothing which decorates the exter-
ior of the buildings.
Front street between Market and
the station has made some very credi-
BILE changes in the past few years, and
still more could be made, and the
street put in a good business condi-
tion.
Another publication which attracted
my attention was list of streets to
be paved by the city, from the bond
issue which is pending before Council
at the present time. The list contain
ed Willing street which is a small
thoroughfare between Fifth and Sixth
West and Washington. This street Is
at the present time the rear entrance
or back alley in other words. for the
properties from West and Washing
ton streets. There are only three sta
bles on the street. and the street is
paved with cobble stones, which are
In fairly good condition.
There are a number of important
streets in the city which really need
paving, and from my point Of view ]
think it is wrong for the city to &c
TO borrowing money to pave a street
like Willing street, when there are SO
many other streets which need 1t and
would be far more credit to the city
than the one above mentioned.
My attention was called to the fact
that a certain amount of this money
/ it was necessary TO spend in eacl
ward before It would receive the en-.
dorsement or vote from the member
of Council Of that ward. If this con.
dition is to be the one followed, Il Is
certainly wrong and very unbusiness,
/ like.
If the city is going to borrow money
to pave streets, the interest on thu
bonds is paid from the revenue Of the
city at large, and all paving TO bt
done should be done in places where
II would be of more benefit to the
city. J. Bail Peirce,
