HARVEST REGION STORMS
SWING WHEAT UPWARD
Firmness Of Liverpool Prices Also
Counted Against the Chi
cago Bears.

CHICAGO. June as-Storms in the
harvest region gave an upward swing
today to the price of wheat. Damage
and delay were reported to be serious il
both Oklahoma and Kansas. Firmness
Of Liverpool quotations counted also
against the bears.
The opening here, which changed
from d to IL higher. was followed by
additional gains, but later the market
reacted to a considerable extent.
Corn Prices Harden.
Corn hardened owing to prospects OF
unsettled weather. Offerings were
light. After opening 4 to IS up, the
market receded somewhat. though
without any decided weakness.
Favorable crop advices made oats
ease off. Demand lacked volume.
Lower prices for hogs carried down
provisions. On the break packers were
credited with giving the market sup
port.
Assertions that the Missouri crop had
been materially harmed by the rains
and Hessian fly tended afterward to
cause a rally. Meanwhile. seaboard
demand for old wheat was strongly IN
evidence. The market closed steady
at "a to 21sa2L net advance.
Subsequently corn became f1rmer with
wheat The close was steady at Ba1s
to bsaa. above Saturday night.

his death was not unexpected,
owing to his advanced age and
recent failing health, the crisis
came suddenly this afternoon.
Two tragic circumstances

Will Ask That The New Traf-
fic Ordinance Be
Modified.
MEE!|NG TUESDAY NIGHT
Don't Think People Should Be
Forced to Drive to Corner
In Order to Turn.

Quite a number of Columbus
citizens expect to appear before
the members of the city council
at their regular monthly meeting
Tuesday evening and ask that
they modify the traffic ordinance
recently passed A long petit
tor. wes ciral,laied rpoect'v ard
signed by practically every bus
mess man in the city asking that
the aldermen modify the new
traffic law.
1t is acknowledged by every
one that some features of the new
law are good, but the people feel
that they shold not be required to
to drive vehicle to the end of a
block in order to make a turn or
cross a street. They do not OBJ.
ject to that part of the ordinance
requiring a person to drive to the
right, but they feel that in a
city the size of Columbus that the
law has been carried to the ex-
treme when they prohibit turn
in the middle of a block.
The following part of a commu-
nication written to the Columbus
Dispatch the past week by a cit
izen who resides in the County,
shows what the people think
Of the new law:
I'VE frequently phone or write
our orders and send in our wag-
ons by negro drivers. We ex-
pect these drivers 10 load in a short
time, as short time as possible, re-
turn with their loads, and re-
port for work in the fields. When
the negro driver attempts to cross
over from one side of the street
to the other to finish his load and
is met in the middle of the street
by one of your handsome "Blue
Coats" with a list of instructions
that he cannot understand, the
negro looses his head, and of.
times returns without his full
load, or else drives pair of mules
almost to death before he can
get his wagon turned and parked
according to instructions.
"We commend the wisdom OF
your councilin writing into this or.
dinance its valuable features. but
we do protest that they have
gone a little to far for the pres
ent, at least.
