CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Featnres of the Trading; and Closing;
Prices es Board of Trade.
CHICAOO, Sept. 9. The wheat market
was weak at th opening today because of
world's shipments, which were much larger
than expected, and the fact that a largu
mount of grain was exported from Rus
sia This cams a a surprise to the mar
ket, and at the opening longs unloaded
freely and there was much selling for
short accounts. It was also reported that
the expected damage by frost to crops In
the Dakota had not materialised. Decem
ber wheat opened H3o lower at ll.uOVl?
1.0014, and sold at Local receipts of

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morning
were very large both here and at every
other market. The yards were full, and as
quite a number of the trains were late In
arriving the trade was delayed to some
exteut. It was well along toward midday
before buyers and sellers got ready to do
business and the afternoon waa far ad
vancod before anything like a clearance
waa effected.
The offerings of beef cattle consisted
largely of graaa rangers, as Is to be ex
pected at this season of the year. With
liberal receipts and with sharp declines
reported at all other selling points the mar
ket opened slow and anywhere from 10
15o lower all around. As a matter of
course all sales did not look that much
lower, but the general market could safely
be quoted that way.
Cows and heifers were also In large sup
ply and they, too, experienced a aharp de
cline, prlcea being generally 10(3 lf.c lower,
except on some very desirable kinds.
There waa a fair Inquiry for atoekers and
feeders, but the feollng la generally that
prlcea are entirely too high, hei'.oe at every
opportunity afforded by large receipts and
by lower markets at other points buyers
make It a point to pound valuea aa much aa
poaalble. They atarted out talking 10lfic
lower and they succeeded In buying a good
many of the cattle that way.

HOGS As usual on a Monday the re
celpta of hoga were very light at this
point. There were, however, very large re
ceipts at Chicago, with the reault that the
j market broke very sharply, carrying down
with it the markets at the river. Prices
nere were generally 6l0e lower than at the
cloae of last week. The trade waa rather
dull, aa it la apt to be on a lower market,
but the hogs kept selling and a clearance
waa effected In very fair aeaaon. Hoga
aold largely at 36.7C66.95, with a choice load
of light hoga at $4.20.

day of last week and still ther did not ap
pear to be any too many to supply the
demand. Chicago reported about the sama
number, with the market opening weak to

the river.
The trsde at this point waa a little slow
In opening on account of so many of the
trains being late. For this reason it was 9
O'clock before very muoh business waa
transacted, buyers being inclined to wait
until most of the stuff was in sight before
Disking selections. It was evident how.

show very little change whatever might be
the altuatlon at other selling points for
th reason thst ths barn was tuft of feeder

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Jewish Holiday and Coming of Grain
Report Cause Doll Market.
NEW TORK, Bept, 9 Several circum
stances conduced 1 to make an extremely
dull day In the stock Tiarket. One was the
occurrence of a Jewieh holiday, which
caused many absentees from the financial
district. Another waa the government re
port on grains tomorrow, still another was
the offering of New York city 4 per cent
bonds, bids for 340.000.000 of which-will be
opened tomorrow. Evidently intending bid
ders were preparing means to participate
In the bond sale. As the final Instalment
on the Union Pacific convertible bonds,
which caled for about $33,000,000, is alao pay
able tomorrow, the requirements on the
money market were heavy. The strain Is
expected to be short-lived on this slds, aa
immediate redeposlt are likely to be made.
There were dealings In th new bonds when
Issued In the curb market within fractional
range of 102 with an upward tendency.
This quotation was believed to represent
more a random estimate or tne proDaoi
price tomorrow.
The feature I nthe money market was a
slroncer tone again for time loans for the
longer period. Supplies of commercial paper
also are reported large. The dtsoount rate
at Berlin advanced. Reports of frost In
the northwest were of moderate eflect In
the wheat market. Copper declined again
In London and also at the New York Metal
exchange, and In consequence the copper
Indstrles were the greatest drag on tne
moderate advanolng tendency in the gen
eral list of stooks. Parts of the small gains
of the day were lost In the process of
realizing.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$745.ou I'nlted States bonds were un

Park Commissioner Cornish Discusses
an Important Subject
OPPOSES BONDS FOB BITTING LAND
pedal District Taxes the More Eonlt
nhle Way, Preventing log
rolling and Exorbitant
Prices.
OMAIIA. Sept. 7. To the Editor of The
Bee: A nuhllshe.1 Interview with me. while
I substantially correct, appears to be mle
1 understood.
Many people have assumed that I am
1 opposed to acquiring Inside rest park and
play grounds for children. This Is a mis
take. I strongly favor acquiring pla
grounds for children In the densely popu
play grounds should be acquired In th
latrd portions of the city. 1 believe that
following locations:
1. In the vicinity of 6:xro and Pierce
streets.
2. In the vicinity of Fourteenth and Wil
liam streets.
8. In the vicinity of Tewnty-seventh and
Mason streets.
4. In the vicinity of Twenty-fourth and
Lake streeta
8, In the vicinity of Nineteenth and St.
Mary's avenue.
6, In the vicinity of Eighteenth and Chi
cago streets.
I believe that the eight acre lying be
tween Rlvorvlew park and Bancroft street
should be acquired.
I am opposed to acquiring any of these
l,nds unless the people owning property
In that vlclnlly are willing to have a spe
cial assessment levied against their prop
erty to pay for the same.
Exorbitant Prlr for Land.
I am opposed to issuing bonds for pur
pose of acquiring land for park. My
reasons for this are aa follows:
When we Issued $400,000 bond with which
to buy park land the city was compelled
to pay the very highest price ever paid for
similar lands In this city. Every city In
the United States that has bought lands
for park purposes to be paid for by bond
which are a general burden upon the entire
community has had a similar experience.
In order to carry the bonds they have
been compelled to purchase not only land
that were needed and desirable, but land
that were not desirable. The more land
acquired and .the higher the price paid, the
more certain are the bonds to carry, The
system encourages logrolling, manipula
tion and corruption. The Interest of the
individual citizen Is adverse to the interest
of the general public. The city official
are left without the assistance of the gen
eral public and are sure to be defeated
In their efforts to protect the city. This
has been the universal experience of all
cities In the United State where lands
were acquired to be paid for out of a
fund created by the Issuance of bonds to
be a charge upon the general taxpayer.
During the last eleven years we havo
'adopted a different system of paying for
park lands In Omaha This system has re
sulted satisfactorily. It has been approvcj
by every student of these matters In the
United States. It Is being Imitated In other
cities. It has been approved by the supreme
court of Nebraska. There Is no reason why
it should be departed from. To change It
now would work Injustice to the property
owner whose, property has been assessed
to pay for park and boulevard lands dur
ing the last eleven years. This system ia
as follow:
Fixing; Property Benefited.
Whenever the people In any locality sig
nify a willingness to have their property
assessed to pay for a park or boulevard
addition, if the Board of Park Commission
ers approves their plan, the necessary pro
ceedings are taken to condemn the lands.
A special assessment Is levied upon the
property in the vicinity of the Improvement.
The districts so created have been very
large. For Instance, the district specially
assessed to pay the cost of the thirty-two
acres added to Rlvervlew park extends
from the city limits on the south to the
Burlington .depot on the north. The tax
being relatively greater on the land's lying
near the improvement and scaling back to
nothing In the remote end of the district.
The same system was adopted In acquir
ing the Boulevard between Rlvervlew and
Hanscom parks and the Boulevard and
parks between Hanscom park and Burt
street, and the addition to Bemts park. It
Is worthy of note that out of over 7,000
piece of property assessed In this manner
less than 100 people appeared before the
several boards of equalization to protest
against them. Only two suits were started
to resist payment of the tax. One of them
was dismissed before trial. The other was
carried to the supreme court, where Judg
ment waa rendered in favor of the city.
There never ha been an assessment In
this, or any other city of the United State,
that has been paid more promptly or cheer
fully than, these assessments. The reason
for this has been that the lands were ac
quired at proper prlcea and the assessment
to pay for the same was equitable.
Co-operation of Property Owners.
The lands could not have been acquired
at the proper prices had not this system
of assessment to pay for the same pre
vailed. The abutting property owner, know
ing that his property would bs charged with
a large part of the coat of th. Ln. ..
assisted the city to acquire the land at it
rai vaiue. ne i alwaya a competent wit
nee to prov the value. The city never
acquire park land that It does not want
becauae the intereated property owner will
not conaent to be taxed to acquire lands
unless they are really desirable.
Logrolling is prevented becau.. an. 1-
callty can get what It wants by paying
for It and It I unnecessary to Join force
with other localltle. Th Injustice of Is
suing bonds to pay for these playgrounds
will be more manifest by following out In
practice what must take plaoe.
Central Playground.
The ground at Nlneteenm and st M.-.
avenue Is recommended as central play
grounds. They consist of two lot and are
really too small for the central playground
of the city. It la estimated that this
ground Is worth $30,000. We can vote but
$60,000 bonds In one year, henoe If we buy
these grounds :t will consume three-fifth
of the fund In one year, leaving but $20,000
to acquire the other playgrounds which
are needed quite as much. If not more,
than th central playground. The park
board, mayor and city council must sit In
Judgment to determine what other desir
able lands must be taken and what not
taken because of limitation In ths fund.
This will result In charge of favoritism
no' matter what the board concluded to
do. The property owner whoa property
ha or will be assessed to pay for th
boulevard from Miller park to Bern I park;
from Be nils park to Fontanel! park. Bern!
park to lianaoom park; from Hanscom
park to Rlvervlew park, with the numerous
playground and rest park along it routs,
will have to aland th burden which has
already been aaseassd against them and
In addition thereto assume their portion
of the burden of paying for the cost of
the playground In the heart of th city.
Meanwhile the valuable property lying
north of the Union Pacific track and south
of Cuming street and west of Twenty-new.
enth street will not have paid any special
assessment whatsoever and will have te
par only their portion of the general bond
tax. This I manifestly unjust.
peelal Asaesnasent tn Fair Way.
Th fair way would he to acquire at least
one block for playgrounds In ths heart of
the city costing $50.y and pay for th
am by special assessment against the
property lying In th heart of th city
which has escaped all the assessments by
reason of the park and boulevard acquired
In th last eleven years.
Cut-Off lake Is a special case for the
resaon that It lies at one side cf the city,
1 necessary to the rounding out and per
fection of our general park system and
th property In that vicinity could not af
ford to acquire such a park as the city
ought to have. The city Is unable to as
sess property lying In Iowa. For that
reason Cut-Off Lake park should be paid
for by assessing property In that vicinity
to the extent that It Is speclslly benefited
and the rest of the fund should be created
by donation by public spirited cttlsens.
Omaha has now reached an age where
many men who have acquired fortunes
here will want to show their love of th
clly In which they have lived and acquired
their fortunes by contributing to such a
worthy charily. Our people have responded
readily to the construction of similar char
itable Institutions costing much more
money, and I doubt hot that Cut-off Ink.
park can be acquired In this manner pro
vided we get a price upon the lands that
is considered fair.
Park Bond for Improvements.
An ordinance Is now pending before the
city counoll to submit a proposition to
the voters to rote Sfio.OCO of park bonds at
the next election. There Is no promise on
th part of the Park board that any por
tion of this money should be used In the
purchase of lands. These bond ought to
carry for this reason. The city Is under
obligations to Improvo the streets around
Hansoom park and pay Its proportion of
the cost of improving streets around Jef
ferson square, Bemls park, C. Turner pnrk
and all other parks fronting opon a street
which I not a part of our boulevard sys
tem. I'nder the law there Is no fund with
which to pay these charges unless the park
bonds are Issued. In addition to that we
have acquired and are now acquiring ap
proximately ten miles of boulevards. These
boulevards ought to be graded sn that
trees can be planted at once. It take
ten or fifteen years to grow tree after they
are planted. Therefore the grading should
at once be done. The permanent Improve
ments of paving and macadamising can
be done from year to year aa funds are
provided for the purpose. In this manner
the , boulevards can be perfected by the
time the trees are grown, o a to give It
beauty and symmetry. With the funds thus
far available we are not able to grade
our boulevard and at the same time main
tain the portion of the Boulevards now
being used. For instance, the city owns
1W feet between Tenth and. Thirteenth
streeta. It has graded and planted tree
upon the south fifty feet of the land, but
1s unable to do more. W have lands
available for play grounds tn the vicinity
of Thirty-fourth and Leavenworth streets,
but are unable to grade It with present
funds. When graded this will give splended
play ground facilities In that populous dis
trict. We will soon acquire the land In
the vicinity of Prospect Hill cemetery, In
cluding a play ground and observation park
at that point.
This work should be finished at onco to
permit the planting of tree. Subsequent
Improvement can be made aa the current
fund permit. For this reason I hope that
the park bonds proposition to be submitted
to the voter will carry, but It should be
understood that no portion of the funds so
created will be used for the paying for
lands. E. J. CORNISH.
