THE WHEAT LIST
Prices Weaken on Strength of Rum0r
Relative to Tightening of Neu.
trail Blockade.

Chicago, Jan. 19-Wheat prices
weakened today, influenced by asser-
tons that the Tightening Of the block
ade of neutral ports would further
complicate the difficulties Of export
ers and tend to restrict buying A
fresh advance to a new high record in
ocean freight rates from the United
States to Great Britain was an addi-
tional encouragement to the bulls.
Profit taking by holders became de-
cidedly free.
Rallies failed to last. Foreigners
were declared to be selling futures
here and at Winnipeg and the outlook
was for increased arrivals at Mime
apolis and Duluth. 1t was denied that
the Canadian government had been
buying. The close was weak, 100
1asc net lower, with May at 1904
and July at 1895
Opening prices, which ranged from
sc off to sc up, with May at 1.31A@
1872 and July at 1241aQ124A, were
followed by sharp decline all around.
Corn gave way with wheat. Besides,
enlarged receipts gave an advantage
to the bears. After opening 1s@A off
to shade up, the market underwent
general sag.
Reports that corn had been pur-
chased to come here from the west
and southwest kept the market de-
pressed. The close was steady, but
| 3s 12c net lower.
Oats DETECTED the declines In other
cereals. AT first, however, prices
showed a disposition to climb, owing
to recent big sales to the seaboard,
Provisions eased off with grain.
Firmness in the hog market had only
a temporary effect.

Roy NJ. johnson OF the Statesman
has disposed of portion of his un.
allotted land purchased at the gov
ern-ment sale last November. The
price paid by him on his first INSTALL
ment Of One-fourth was $19i.I5. The
price he received for his oil lease,
retaining royalty of One-eighth, was
S14,000.00 in cash. L. X. Davis Of
Huston purchased the 40.aere lease
at 5000 per acre, and California par
ties purchased the 60-acre lease at
10000 per acre. Should the land prove
to be underlaid with oil the royalty
alone would make Mr.. johnson
wealthy. not counting the bonus for
the lease.

Hass Resigns on Bank B0ard.-Be-
cause of the Clayton bill prohibiting
interlocking directorates which will
shortly go into effect, ]. H. Hass, pres
ident of the Scott County Savings
bank, yesterday rendered his resigna-
ton as director of the Iowa National
bank, position he has held ever since
the bank was organized. 1t was in
1889 that the Iowa National, now one
of the strongest banks OF Davenport,
was organized. Mr.. Hass was one OF
the active organizers and in the 27
years of the banks history he has
been one of it's most trusted and COM
petent advisors. Cashier Frank Yet
ter of the Iowa National said in con-
nection with the resignation that 1t
was only the new federal law which
made the banks acceptance OF the
withdrawal necessary and that other
wise it would not have been consid-
cred AS testimonial Of the esteem in
which he is held by his fellow direc-
tors Mr.. Hass was presented yester-
day morning with a handsome solid
gold watch. His successor will be
chosen soon.

Empty School in Forty Seconds.

Empty School in Forty Seconds
Fire broke out in the Jefferson school,
Sixth and Warren streets at $50
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
building was emptied of children in
40 seconds. The damage will not ex-
coed SIS, and the blaze only served to
demonstrate the efficiency of the fire
drill system in the public schools here.
Smoke was discovered issuing from
the hot air registers in the different
rooms shortly before time for closing
the school. The principal, Mrs. Emily
Farrand, upon being apprised OF the
fact, sounded the alarm. Within 40
seconds after the gong had been rung,
the building stood empty and the chill
dren in the open air we're lined up
along the sidewalk. The exact source
Of the smoke had not been discovered,
and the children were sent back for
their wraps. They had reentered the
school and had emptied it again within
two more minutes. They were then
dismissed.

TO ASK FUND FOR
MARKINCSTREETS
Commissioner Juhl Will Request Spe.
eial Appropriation OF $1,000 for
Metal Labels.
NEED MORE THAN 5000 SIGNS
Four Plates Will be Placed at Each
Intersection if Council Agrees to
Vote the Money.

People coming to Rock Island from
other cities and unacqua1nted with To-
cations here in the future will be able
to know their latitude and longitude >
Commissioner n. E. Juhl today de-
cided to ask the municipal commission
for a special appropriation of between
81, 500 and $4,000 for metal street
signs when the annual budget is pre-
pared.
Proper labelling of all thoroughfares
in Rock Island has long been advocat-
ed by Commissioner Juhl, but owing
to the work he had to perform in the
general care Of the streets he is unable
to take from the street fund a sum
large enough to purchase the signs. He
is accordingly compelled to ask for a
special fund for this purpose when
the annual appropriation ordinance is
considered by the council next May.
The signs and their installation will
probably represent an expenditure OF
at least $1,000. Between 5000 and
$500 plates will be needed because the
commissioner plans to place four on
each corner.
Needed Long Time.
eve have needed some kind of signs
for our streets for a long time" Com
missioner Juhl said. Rock Island is
an easy city to learn. The avenue are
numbered back from the river on the
north boundary and the streets from
the river on its west limits. That
makes it easy for people to follow di-
rections.
But we have to provide signs OF
some kind to let them know where
they are at. They understand the
numerical system of street designa-
ton easily, but they must know the
location they are at when they start
out"
Frank L. Patterson, sales manager
of the Rock Island Lead Pencil com.
pany, submitted to Commissioner Juh1
today two types of signs. Both are
steel and enameled with porcelain.
New Territory Included.
Mr.. Patterson declared that the man.
ufacturers of the plates guarantee
they will not chip and that the colors
will not fade. He said they were aciC
proof and that smoke and weather
would not affect them. The letters are
/ in white on a dark blue background
An ordinance was adopted las
spring changing the names of the
streets in the newly annexed territory
OF the city to correspond with the sys
TEN then in vogue in the old city
proper. The installation of the sign.
in the new territory will greatly ait
acquainting the public with the new
names of the highways.
