thought that the pavement bill ever
had any chance The tendency OF re-
cent years has becR in the opposite di-
rection. The result can be attained by
keeping down the asso ssment In resi-
dence districts somewhere near the
actual benefits to abuttlng property.
The defeat OF the sewer district bill is
OF little CONSCIENCE because the city
can abolish the sewer districts by q
general charter adoptionand subsequent
ordinance, If three-fourths vote OF
the council can be mustered.
The only serious set back so far is
the defeat OF the bill permitting all
cities to abolish ward funds. OF the
two still pending one will probably be
adopted and the other has q chance.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Nervousness Over Danger to Shipping Man,
Tested In Wheat Market.

| Chicago, Jan. 19.--Rlsing rates of vessel
| insurance on the Atlantic tended to depress
| the wheat market today, and 30 too did an
| apparent pause In export demand. Prices
| closed heavy u to 2%c net lower, with
May at 3ls7E @l,ss and July at tl.52h
| @l.b2M. Corn lost Y nc to 1hc, and
oats NC to ts@Mc. Provisions wound up
at to 12hc net advance.
Disquiet In regard to increased perils for
ocean commerce handicapped the wheat
bulls from the outset. but at FIRST the mar
| ket was helped upward by hopes that the
| urgency Of European need of supplies would
| prove more than Offset. The fact grad
| ually became evident, however, that new
purchases for Europe were not being rushed.
| Holders who had profits In sight made haste
to realize, and while doing received de-
| cided Jolt from announcements that marine
underwriters were hosting charges to record
| breaking figures Refusal by the interstate
commerce commission to storage charges on
| export grain seemed also to count In favor
| of the bears, although the commissions ac-
| ton did not affect sentiment much II at all
during the earlier part of the session.
| Considerable notice was taken of advices
| that Baltimore had 100000 bushels Of wheat
on steamers not yet reported as cleared,
and there was bearish comment also on the
| circumstance that North American ship
ments for the week showed an apparent
falling of Of more than 100000 as COM
pared with year ago. Bearish domestic
crop reports formed something of an addl-
| tional weight on the market.
| PROFIT taking by holders acted as a burden
on corn and oats as well as on wheat Sea-
board demand seemed to be only for guar
| anteed quick shipments. Only bulges in
| both corn and oats faded away and wero
| succeeded by declines.
| Advances in the provision market resulted
| chiefly from higher quotations on hogs. An
upturn at Liverpool also was an aid to the
| bulls.
