PRICES
RISE ABRUPTLY
GRAIN UPIURNS

Chicago. oct. s. Covering by
shorts ran up prices abruptly In
the wheat market today. but when
such buying ceased . material re-
action took place. The furry
among shorts seemed largely due
to the fact that initial offerings
were light, and to gossip that pur-
chases Of Canadian wheat by do
nestle millers appeared likely to
diminish. Besides. there was talk
that the holding policy Of Kan
sas farmers would probably be
strengthened. Opening quotations,
which ranged from &c to 6Ac high
err with December 1872 to $1.96
and March $1.s2 to $1.95, were fol-
lowed by rapid changes downward
from the top scored at the outset.
Corn reflected the action Of wheat
After opening nc to csc higher,
including December at S5kc to SIC.
the market hardened q little more,
and then quickly lost much Of the
gain.
Oats were firmed with other ce-
reals, starting sc to lie higher. and
December 55c to 55kc, and later
ascending q trifle more.
Upturns in grain and hogs tend
ed to lift provisions.

SIL|.vlS PA |
OR FORFEIT II


Contract for the paving Of FIJI
teenth street, Silvis, must be sign
ed BY the Mccarthy Construction
company within the next 10 days
or 1t will be withdrawn. An ordi-
nance to this effect was passed last
night BY the Silvis city council after
numerous complaints from the al
dermen and citizens upon the con-
tinued delay in starting paving OPP
erations had been read.
1t is the opinion Of the Silvis
council that the construction COM
pany is delaying initial proceedings
30 that the, work will have to be
postponed until next spring. Prob
ably such action on the part Of the
company il due to surplus
amount Of contracts for fall work.
The paving Of Fifteenth street viii
not require more than q months
time to complete and the council
is anxious that the work be done
this fall. Should the Davenport
company fail to sign the agreement
within the allotted time the job will
be given to some other construction
company and operations imme-
diately begun.
w. e. Hobson. police marshal,
and Frank .Jenner, street commits
sioner, were granted 10 per cent
increase in salary, to start imme-
diately. Ordinances providing for
increased remuneration for these
Offices were recently prepared by
s. E. Long, CITY attorney. and pre-
scented to the council last night.
Salaries Of firemen and few 9th
er employees were increased several
months ago.
Following the reading of a mes
sage from President Wilson. NAM
ing Saturday, Oct. 9, as fire pre-
vention day, the council passed a
resolution to have issued card pos
tiers explaining the proper method
Of sending in q fire alarm. The
posters will be distributed about
the city and placed in the schools
and other public buildings next
Saturday together with telephone
cards telling how to telephone in
q fire alarm. It is the opinion OF
the council that many serious fires
can be prevented in this way.

and neighboring cities had been
unable to report for work this
morning it would have been the
most logical outcome of the. chicken
fry, sponsored by the East Moline
Y. C.. A. last night, considering
the amount Of food consumed.
The meal was served in the din
ing hall at the Joslin fair grounds
by women Of the Yuma and Rose
Hill churches. Members of the two
churches rivaled each other in the
amount and quality Of food placed
before the diners and were 80 in
sistent that every morsel of the
feast be consumed that their hos
pitality threatened the comfort Of
their guests.
F. H. Railsback, East Moline at
torney, presided as toastmaster and
short talks were given by Rev. o.
w. Carr, pastor Of the East Moline
Methodist church; Rev. r. Wilbur
Babcock of Moline, DR.. John Nc
Gown Stevenson of Rock Island and
several others. Ralph E. Stolz, &C
tivities director Of the YIN. C. A..
led community singing and enliv-
ened the program with some orig
inal stories.
Close to $3.50 was taken in from
the sale Of tickets and this sum
will be equally divided between the
Yuma and Rose Hill societies whose
members served the feast. The Y.
M. C. A.. although sponsoring the
event, declined to share In the pro-
ceeds, stimulation of interest In
community affairs being the chief
aim In giving the dinner.

course throughout the morning.
Gains among sugars, shippings.

Substantially increased, but rails
lost ground with oils. Texas and

ment rails rallied moderately be-
fore noon, bat shorts pressed their
advantage In the speculative indus
trials. Call money was plentiful
at Z per cent, and exchange on Lon
don strengthened, but rates on con-
tinental Europe were heavier, the
Italian rate falling to a new low
record. q
