Space Sold On Thirty-Day Permit
Basis, According To Regulations

Rules and regulations for the mu-
nicipal market were approved at the
meeting of the city commi ssion Tues
day morning.
President D. E. McLendon said the
rules were gathered from laws ap

annual leases might be preferable,
but the 30-day permit plan was
adopted. This will enable the city
to remove any concessioner who may
prove Objectionable.

whose department the handling of
the market will come, said plans for
the conduct of the market had a
tentative atmosphere now, but before
long the machinery will be running

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The wheat trade
was quiet today. The undertone was firm
most of the morning session, but prices
lost the early advance in the later trad
ing. Strength in Liverpool caused some
short covering at the opening, and with
selling pressure light prices moved in an
upward direction After the opening the
east bought deferred futures based on the
rally in sterling exchange and the local
crowd followed. About midday there was
pressure on the reported increase of 1934.-
900 bushels in the visible supply, raising
the total to above 100000 bushels.
Wheat closed &c to 1mc higher; Decem-
Der, SLOPES @11O2R; May, $1.0SB @1.0SA;
July, $1.061&.
There was a better tone to the corn mar
ket. Estimated receipts of 300, 900 cars did
not meet the expectations of the trade,
and this caused short covering and rein
statement of long lines. Selling pressure
increased in the later trading, and some
reaction was noted. Visible supply in
creased 10000 bushels.
Corn closed s@1c higher; December,
1875 a74c; May, 727s @73c: July, 1850
Oats followed the trend of corn, but trade
was small in volume. Visible supply de-
crease SOB 900 bushels.
