PUBLIC WORKS BOARD.
Members Decide Against Grading
 McClintOck Street

Because, mem bers of the board stated, there have been but two houses built on McClintock street in the past 50 years and one of them has been abandoned, the board of public works last night turned down a petition to grade that highway. Commissioner o'Brien agreed with other members that the petition was presented in hopes that it would be acted upon favorably and the work would increase the value of the road for speculative purposes.
 1t was voted to have the city en- g1neering department prepare maps and an estimated cost of laying walks and building a retaining wall on North street between Beaver and Sexton streeets The petition of Adna John son to install a gasoline feed pipe from his tank on Main street, adajcent to his block, to the curbing was not granted.

International Situation Cause Of
 Greater Caution

Wall Street.-Peace negotiations were again factor at the opening of today's market, steels and equip ment as we'll as motors and allied specialties recording further reaction of l to 2 points. The losses were offset in part by the strength of shippings, sugars, Great Northern Ore and U. s. Rubber. Rails and Coppers were dull and unchanged. The market became more irregular before the close of the first half hour.
 Alternate rallies and reversals marked later dealings. trading indi- eating greater caution pending more definite developments in the foreign situation. Shippings and industrials were the sustaining features, U. s. Steel rising point from it's mini mum. A few equipments kept pace with this movement but automobile shares showed further depression, General Motors yielding almost five points and Maxwell common and second preferred 2 to points on suspended dividends General chemi- calls featured the high priced special ties, declining 1 points to 21O. Lib- erty bonds sold at 99.96 to 99.98.
 Steamship shares had another up- ward spurt during the intermediate session, but specialties, particularly tobaccos and oils, reacted sharply, losing 1 1-2 to points. Steels and some rails also eased fractionally.
