CITY TO BUILD
: STREETS OVER
ROADJRACKS
Railroad Officials Informally
..Approve Building Street
Over Tracks on the
South Side.
. Railroad officials have informally
approved the project of building a
. new street over tracks and bridges
from the south end of the Thirty-
' second avenue car line to Thirty
third and I streets.
The proposal, as worked out by
Commsisloner Roy N. Towl and the
city planning board, is to build a
road that will carry street car tracks.
The project requires official ap
proval by railroads because there
are five roads to be crossed by via-
ducts, and the viaducts will have to
be built by the roads.
,i Commissioner Towl has asked the
roads for their official approval. He
does not believe any of them will
.object because the proposed street
wilt open up a big industrial area.
. The roads that will have to be
crossed by viaducts are: Union Pa
cific Northwestern Belt Line, Bur
lington, and Union Stock Yards
lines.
General Manager Buckingham of
r the Stock Yards Co., Saturday said
. he approves the proposal.
Mr. Towl's engineers have esti
mated the total cost, exclusive of
laying street car tracks, at $384,520
He estimates that the cost of the
various viaducts will be approxi
mately $250,000, leaving a little more
than $100,000 to be spent by the city.
At present, there is no way of get
ting to South Omaha except via
Twenty-fourth street, or streets east
of there. Persona coming from the
southwest to Omaha, have to go
through the packing house district
to get to Omaha.
i The proposed road will eliminate
that! condition.

Chicago, June 7. Weakness prevailed
most of the time In the corn market to
day owing largely to liquidation of lines
that exceeded the newly re-establlshd
maximum limit, 200,000 bushels. The
close was unsettled at a range varying
from 1c net decline to H4c advance, with
July at $1.68 to $1.69 and September at
J1.60U to $180. Oats finished un
changed to c higher. In provisions,
the outcome varied from 65c setback to a
rise of 10c.
July delivery of corn was In particular
bearishly affected by sales necessary to
conform with the 200,000 bushels rule. Ii
addition the market ns a whole had a
downward tendency owing to good weather
and to reports of labor unrest on both
sid'-s of the Atlantic. Sentiment against
high cost of living received much notice
in this connection. During the last part
of the day, however, week-end adjustment
of trades led to rallies in which the
September option was most conspicuous.
Oats were in the main affected by the
action of corn. Some improvement of do
mestic shipping call was noted.
Changes In the value of provisions ap
peared to depend to a great extent on
the course of grain rather than on the
hog market. Lard and ribs showed gf'Od
recuperative energy, but pork far less.

One Day Reaction On Stock
Market Features Trading
New York. Juno 7. Outstanding feature
In trading on the stock exchange this
week was a one-day reaction which only
temporarily Interrupted the unward trend
of prices that has been In progress during
the past for or five months. After this
relapse the advance was resumed with all
its earner vigor and many stocks, includ
ing United States Steel repeatedly advanc
ed into new high ground.
Professional Interests, momentarily tak
en aback when the rate on loans ascended
nn Tuesday to 11 per cent, a new high
figure for tTi-year, professed to believe
that the rise was not due to any endeavor
to interfere with speculation but rather
there was actual scarcity of funds because
of requirements of money for other pur
poses, notably income tax and Victory
loan payments.
After this period of acute weakness tire
rate receded to the figure which had been
normal, six per cent, and by thet end of the
week, the losses which had been incurred
during the liquidation were more than re
covered. Special influences adverse to certain
stocks include Lehigh Valley's cut in divi
dend, the action of Gulf States Steel in
passing its disbursement and opposition
to the liquidation plans or International
Mercantile Marine, while the government
report on cotton reflected unfavorable con
ditions in this crop. Offsetting these fac
tors, however, were indications of improv
ed industrial conditions, resumption of
gold imports from Canada, big railroad
earnings and prospective extra and in
crensed dividend together with a better
copper price outlook.
Rats for bills on the allied and neutral
countries varitd considerably during the
week with a rather sharp decline early in
sterling.
New York Coffee.
New York, June 7. Reports of firmer
Brazilian markets led to considerable cov
ering in the market for coffee futures here
today and there was also some trade buy
ing on the advance. The opening was 11
to 16 points higher, and the active months
sold sbout 20 to 26 points above last night,
losing, figures, with September touching
19.00 and December 18.50c, were at tne best
point of the day, showing a net advance
of 24 to 28 points. Reports that banking
nterests in Hraztt estimated ine coming
Santos crop at only 4,044,000 bags, includ
ing the carry-over or old crop coffee, were
factor on tne advance. Closing bids:
