senting a drop Of 3S to AZ points from

Demand From Commission Houses
Absorbs Heavy offerings at Open
ing and Advance Follows.

CHICAGO, December 11-wheat de-
veloped material strength today after a
weak start. Bearishness at the outset
was reflection of lower quotations
from Liverpool. Offerings, however,
were so readily absorbed that the mar
ket quickly recovered, and afterward
scored q decided advance. The demand
came chiefly from commission houses,
and seemed to be largely in the ma
ture of reaction from the effects of

Notice was served on the city,
through the council cop1mittee ON
health and city hospitals. Tuesday
morning, that the township OF Gratiot
and the village of st. Clair Heights.
Will move to enjoin the commissioners
of public works from constructing q
reduction plant on a site already pur-
chased beyond the city limits, as soon
as the first spadeful OF earth 10

The committee instructed Commits

cavation work as soon as possible, SO
as to have the city's right to invade
the township and the village--part OF
the site being In the village-with the
reduction plant passed on by the
court and definitely settled. Mean
while the committee Is holding up
500 900 worth of contracts for equip
ment for the proposed reduction plant,
which Commissioner Fenkell has sub
mitted for confirmation.
Attorney Edward 8. Greece repre-
sents the township, and Attorney
James ii. Pound the village In the
fight against the reduction plant.
81 think that the city ought to
wash it's own dirty linen and not take
it outside the city limits" Attorney
Greece told the committee.
THAT sounds reasonable, but our
neighbors all rely on US for some
thing--water, sewer connections,
light, etc." retorted Commissioners
Fenkelt.
Aid. Barnett wanted the committee
TO visit the plant of the Detroit Re
duction Co., in French Landing, hav-
ing in view the possible purchase OF
that plant.
Aid. Vernon said he had been reli
ably informed oy an ofYicer OF the re
duction company that Its property ID
not for sale, the concern being anxious

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-Today's
stock market reflected the variety
Of rumors which grew out of the war
developments abroad. The sinking
OF another neutral ship caused the
marine underwriters to raise their
rates for war risks, while the news
of the Russian reverses, and the re-
taliatory measures which Great
Britain threatens to adopt against
Germany In return for the subma-
rine activities of the last few. days
made II more difficult for shippers
to get the ordinary protection.
So far az Wall-st. was concerned,
the feeling was one of uncertainty as
to what the net result would be.
The market showed a good deal Of
nervousness throughout the day, and.
although there was no sensational
selling, there was little disposition
manifested to support the market &C.
tive shares In any aggressive way.
The closing was dull, with many OF
the active issues above the low level
