Receipts for the six days have been a little over 32,000 head, or aome 7,000 short of last week, but fully 4,000 more than for the corresponding week a year ago. Weather conditions ana trans portation difficulties havo Interfered with the market all week, but In a general way desirable strong weight beeves show an ad vance of 1526c for tha week, and right good heavy cattle sold up to $12.80 yes terday. On the plain short fed and warmed up steers It has been a very uneven and unsatisfactory trade from start to nnisn, and closing prices are not materially dif ferent from a week ago, The same holds true as to cows and heifers. - In stockers and feeders there was soma activity during tha early part of the week, but cold, snow and poor railroad facilities hava shut off tho demand recently and closing prices are around 2605OO lower than a week ago, while In the case of common light weight stuff tha declines have even been greater.

Clearing of Railroad Blockade Tends to Weaken Corn Market. Chicago, Jan. 19. Clearing up of the railroad blockade tended today to weaken the corn market Prices closed heavy, January $1.27 and May $1.24, with tho finish as a whole unchanged to ',4c down, compared with 24 hours before. Oats declined c to o net In provl slons, ths outcome varied from a setback of 10c to 35c advance. Faced by prospects of liberal receipts here Monday and Tuesday ths corn market showed a downward slant almost uni formly throughout tha session. Notwlth standing that severe winter temperatures still curbed the activities of the railroads, Indications of substantial progress In the removal ot traffic congestion were too plain to ba Ignore. Selling, however, was at no time agressive, although bearish sentiment was somewhat augmented by peace talk, especially In tha last hour, during week end adjustment of trades. Oats sagged with corn. Hope ot sales to tho seaboard led to a temporary bulge. which was more than counteracted when no business developed. Heavier receipts of hogs weakened pro visions, but sharp reduction ot tho weekly total of hog packing led afterward to ral lies. The late upturns were partly due to the fact that shipments for the week were shown to have been greatly curtailed by trafflo difficulties. Chicago, Jan. 19.

CITY PLANNERS OUTLINE THEIR HIGHWAY PLANS One of Recommendations in Annual Report Is a Continuous Boulevard System and Scenic Drive. One of the recommendations urged by the City Planning commission, in its first report, is a continuous boulevard system. To accomplish that desideratum the commission sub mitted the following outline to the city council: "It may be said that the dignity and beauty of a city depend, to a large extent, on its boulevards and scenic drves. Yet " n not be expected that Omaha can afford a comprehensive boulevard system un less it pursues a steady and continu ous policy in developing and ac quiring them. "Omaha with a poulation of 225, 000 now has a park area of approxi mately 990 acres, and a boulevard system 35 miles long. The boule vards, however, are lacking in con tinuity in various places, and in par ticular afford no connection between Hanscom park and Elmwood park." The commission recommends a boulevard link between Hanscom and Elmwood parks by extending Woolworth avenue through the County Poor farm and thence in a southwesterly direction to the inter section of Forty-fifth and Center streets. From that point it is sug gested that Center street constitute a boulevard to a point where it crosses the Missouri Pacific tracks. Thence the boulevard would follow Saddle Creek in a southwesterly di rection to the junction of the Mis souri Pacific railroad and following the Little Papillion to its intersec tion with the Happy Holloy creek, and thence northeasterly to Elmwood park. Other boulevard recommendations follow: A district boulevard connec tion between Bemis park and the be ginning of John A. Creighton boule vard at Hamilton street by way of Thirty-eighth street. Florence boule vard, as its termination at Chicago street, to be continued south on Nineteenth street to Jackson street at such time as the Dodge street hill shall have been cut; then east on Jackson street to its connection with Bellevue boulevard, thus connecting two separate boulevards and avoiding the confusion in pleasure traveling through the central part of the city. The intersection of Bellevue boule vard with Bancroft street at Eleventh street should be made safe by ac quiring more property. "The improvements and new con struction mentioned will, together with the present boulevards, give the city a complete inside boulevard sys tem," the report states. . In addition to the completion of an inside boulevard, the commission rec ommends an outer boulevard system in these words: "In addition to these improvements, considerable time has been spent by the commission in the study of an extension of Florence boulevard north, and a boulevard ex tending from Dorcas street and Tenth street south to Childs' Point. In themselves, these are independent boulevards, yet they are a part of a future comprehensive outside boule vard system." Commenting on the proposed Thir teenth street boulevard, the report reads: "One of the most interesting scenic views of Omaha is to be found on the slopes on the west side of the Mis souri river, extending from Dorcas street south to Cihlds' Point. At al most any point along the stetch of four miles one views fertile farm lands; a wide, interesting river, in which the sky", the hills, the distance are reflected, and around it all is the sty-line of distant forest-clad hill sides. Nature has not made these slopes suitable for farming, but has made them beautiful, and most of them are still covered with forest. Since this land has little commercial value it could be -acquired at slight cost, and should be preserved in a state of nature. Such a preservation would have scientific value, both in respect to forestry and to wild .life. But, above all, it would have priceless value for those who live in or visit Omaha. Within half an hour they could pass from the bustle of the city to the seclusion of the forest. The route mentioned may be divided into four distinct parts, as follows: Dorcas street to Riverview park; Riverview park to J street; J street to Mandan park; Mandan park to Child's Point.
