CHICAGO
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. May 14.-Corn. sharply
advanced in price today more as a
result OF lack OF selling pressure
than on account of any great buying.
Bullish sentiment was based on part
on active export demand for bread
.stuns. Besides, skepticism appeared
to be growing as to whether the
movement OF corr to- terminal. r?ar-
kets could be much enlarged at s-es-
ent. Opening prices. which ranged
from L IA off to 3-S advance, with
July 31.75 to LIS 1-2 and September
s1.G2 TO 1862 rs. were followed by
decided general gazing.
Oats hardened with corn. After
opening 3-S@1-2 cent lower to IA
cent up. including July at 81 $50
81 SIS, the market scored a moderate
rise all around.
Weakness in hos values had a de-
pressing effect on provisions. Foreign
interests were said to have been free
sellers of lard.
Subsequently. the fact that wheat
prices were at the highest OF the sea
son did Il good deal to lift corn to Il
new top level for the crop. Corn
closed unsettled ut Ga to . IS net
advance, with July III IS I o LIS
Is. and September 1.64 IA to 1.64S.
Later the market rallied in sym
pathy with grain.

SUBDIVISION STREETS.

A resident of East Rosemont was
recently fined in the Police Court for
allowing his automobile to remain on
a subdivision street all night minus
a light. The defendant in this case
later was disposed to take an appeal
to the Corporation Court . on the
ground that.as che City Council had
refused to take over and pay for the
work Of contracting the new streets
in East RoSemont. that the police
authorities were acting beyond their
power in holding residents guilty of
violation of the traffic law recently
passed by the City Council.
Whether or not the city should be
taxed to defray the expenses of con-
structing streets in this subdivision
is mooted question. Many repre-
sentative person believing it is in
cuntbent upon the city to do so, as
taxes upon the property are paid the

prise and should open and keep up
streets in that area at its own cost
But we are not called upon to sit in
judgement on this issue: The Courts
may in due time settle. the matter.
i But the .city's: claim to jurisdic-
ton in the matter of violations OF
the traffic law it would seen from a
horseback" opinion is justifiable.
While subdivision streets are con-
structed as highways, into which any
one can run a vehicle, and violations
of the traffic law are of the same
nature as those committed upon
general highway.
This question was raised IN the
Police Court months ago, and APP
peals were threatened by those upon
whom fines had been assessed.
In conversation yesterday con-
corning this matter, during lull IN
the proceedings of the Police Court,
attention was called to late-drawn-
ont case in the United States District
Court in Alexandria many years ago
when the late Judge Robert W.
Hughes presided over that tribunal
The late Shirley King had brought
suit for damages against the captain
of a river vessel for colliding with
mis- vessel while the latter was anchor
ed in a swash channel in the viiinity
Of Piney Point and not displaying a
blight at night. Kings lawyer CON
tended that as his vessel was at
anchor some distance east of the
buoycd channel, it was not incum-
bert upon him to have light dis
played at night. Judge Hughes in
his opinion took the opposite view,
las, any vessel of the same draught.
he said, was likely to enter the swash
channel at night when collision
would be probable. King was made
TO bear his own damages.
This opinion might be made to. bear
upon Rosemonters who being off the
/ main highway suppose they should
| not be compelled to- place lights upon
! their automobiles.
