Chlcfo Trlbune-Oastha Bn iMttd Wire.
Chicago, May 1. General evening
up on the part of the shorts for over
Sunday resulted in a higher average
rof grain prices. Trade was light,
however, and the best figures were
not maintained. May corn lost 1 7-8c
on reports that 15.000 bushels de
livered on contracts before the open
ing was not in good condition while
deferred deliveries were l-2c higher
to 3-8c lower, the former on July.
Oats gained 1-2(S1 5-8. Mav lead
ing, selling at new record figures-
ye closed ll 3-8c higher and
barley lc higher. ;
t Despite a wek's campaign on the
bear side of the market and reports
of very strained financial conditions
corn ciosea J i-4 i-sc higher as
compared with the finish of the pre
vious week, while oats were 15 5-8
higher. May leading in both in
stances. Rye was 4 7-86c lower
and barley 4c lower.'
Rapport on Break. '
With the bulk of th trad of a local
hraet.r, corn and oata war .silly In
fluenced. On the breakr there wag fair
aupport and on tha bulges offering! In

ly noticeable at 0o for July and 76o for
September oata.
Weather condition! over the belt were
much more favorable. Weekly forecast
wae for rain early followed by generally
.fair with nearly normal temperatures.
'With the stock market cloaed, the trade
was forced to give their attention to the
factor! that govern grain prlcea ex
clusively. While the eaat holds very amall atock!
of corn and oata, domestic distributors
ancelled 66.000 bushels of corn and i3,
000 bushels oats, due to Inability to get
ahlpments from the west.
By Clow Strong.'
iTrad In rya was rather light, but May
union mm i limes, ana ciosea wen to
ward the top on short covering. Reports
of a strike at New Orleans and that one
of the leading lake lines had ordered lta
steamers tied up until further ordera had
some effect, as It was feared that export
movement might be curtailed. No. I on
track sold at 3c over May, against 60 over
recently. Nothing waa heard regarding
export demand.
Offeringa of barley were small, and de

RETARDATION OF
PAVING MEANS
MENDEDSTREETS
Commissioner Butler Says In
ability to Sell Intersection
Bonds Affects Mainte-
nance Department.
The retardation of the paving pro
gram for this year, due to the in
ability of the city to sell $100,000 in
tersection caving bonds at 5 per
cent and par, will affect the street
maintenance department, according;
to City Commissioner Butler
He asserts that it will be neces
sary to do considerable patching; of
asphalt pavements which should be
rcpavea, ana ne cues aixteenm
i-fft Trrnct in Farnam strMs. as
a particular instance. Part of this
thoroughfare Douglas street to
Victor avenue has been neia in
abeyance as a repaving district for
two years and was up for disposi
tion this season. .
Repair the Asphalt.
Th ctrit rlcnartmsnt ha renaired
th asnhalt on Sixteenth street. Lo
cust to Farnam, already this season.
Mr. antler contends tnat tnis street
should be repaved without further
delay, because he says it is an ex-
npnsivi nrnnnsition for the citV to
frequently repair old. asphalt pave
ments. Last year he went over six
teenth street three times. .

Streets Need Repaying;.
fr Riit1r refers to TwentV-
sixth' and Tweftty-eighth streets,
from St. Mary's avenue to Harney
streets, as strikine- illustrations of
old asphalt pavements which his de-
parimcnt win cimcuvui iv pv
again this spring, although he states
that it is plain to the casual oDserver
that these streets should be re
paved. The street maintenance depart
ment is limited to $75,000 and it is
h nnim'nn of the commissioner that
this appropriation will be exhausted
earlier, than usual tnis season. .
Principal Thoroughfares First.
Mr. Butler believes that first at
tentinn cliniilrl he civen to the orin-
cipal thoroughfares which carry the
bulk of the tramc and are oDvtousiy
nf tnnst imnnrianre. The result will
be that many outlying streets must
be neglected this year.
Illustrative of the expense of re-nairino-:
olrl asnhalt navements. he
states that the work already done
this spring on Mxteentn street, iro
nist tn Farnam anrl now heinor done
from Leavenworth to Vinton, . will
cost about $15,000. He believes that
the cost of repairs that were maae
on Sixteenth street last season and
tuhirli will he marie this season
would easily pay for substantial re-
paving. .

DISPUTE , BETWEEN
RIVAL DEMOS OVER
DOUGLAS CONTROL
Drys Deny Contention of Wets
That Later Will Rul
County Convention.
y . ..
H. L. Mossman, chairman of the
"independent democratic' organiza
tion," which wishes to be known as
opposed to thev"regular democratic
committee," states that his side will
have an equal representation with
opponents in the democratic county
convention, May -11. ,
"I noticed that somebody gave out
a statement that the drys will have
only 17 delegates in the county con
vention," Mr. Mossman stated. "That
is absurd. Mrs. H. J. Bailey, chair
man of the women's committee,
counted at least 25 women who were
filed by her- committee. We will
have at least half of the delegates
and we will be able to take care of
ourselves. Why, we will have such
men as I. J. Dunn, Lysle I. Abbott,
T. B. Murray, Elmer E. Thomas and
Mayor Smith among our delegates."
It now appears that the democratic
county convention will be a battle
for power between the democratic
wets and drys. Both are claiming
numerical superiority.
