Tho facts have already been given In detail by
Tiiv.TuruuNK, and tbo delegation rehearsed tbo
whole matter to Mayor Harrison, who promised
to do all he could to expedite matters.
One of tho reasons why there Is so much delay
and digging up on Stato street Is because the
now cable-arches wore laid In n ditub out two
feet above the olght-lnuh water-main la tho
centre of tbo street. Had this been loft, tho
reverberations of running oars, might hnvo
caused u break, which would have undermined
tho trucks and caused much damage. The
mains nrn bclug removed to tho west side of the

seems that some of tho contractors for siroo .
Improvements have allowed rotten wood and

spectors claim tuit this aunt Is dumped over

liable to bo hauled over tho’coals. Tbo Com
missioner insists that tho now pavements shall
bavo nt least a sound, It not a permanent,
foundation. . ■ (
Tm: Law Department has sent no opinion to
thoCbalrmnnuf tho Health Committee on tho
subjoot of a morgue. It states tlmt it is tho
legal right of both city and county to tnnlntalu a
morgue, but It Is not necessary for both to do so
—ln fact It would save complications, and con
duce to elllclent management for only one to
have a place for receiving thn remains of tbo un
known dead. The cost would not bo groat, and it is
recommended that tho city proceed to build t
suitable place. In tho meantime, tho olty could

Aid. Ilond, who Is tho Chairman of tho Com
mittee on Unllroads, and who Is a practical man,
has been studying out the bridge problem. Ho
says that In Cleveland bridges £!5 foot long and
wide enough for two slrGoi-rallwaytracHs nro
turned bv small steam-engines m fifteen sec
onds so that boats can pass. This allows boats
to come within about five foot of tne centre of
of tho bridge before it Is placed on tho turn. In
Chicago two men do tho work in from tbrce.and
a naif to six minutes. When a bridge-tender
sees n vessel oppronch a bridge next to his bo
rings tho bell and generally opens his bridge be
fore tho boat has pawed through tho other draw.
The result Is an unnecessarily long delay, which
could easily bo obviated. Ilond would place n
••pony'* clght-horao-power engine at tho
obutmonts of tho bridges, which would save
people from llvo to six .hours a day at pitch
crossing. Besides. Instead of keeping bridges
open ton minutes at a stretch to allow a num
ber of vessels .to pass, tho bridges could bo
closed and opened between each, and thus ac
commodate thousands of people at all hours of
the day. 80 far as tho present whistles used by
steamboats nro concerned, under the now ordi
nance. Aid. Bond says that they work well
enough on tugs, which carry ninety pounds of'
steam at all times, but on propellers they are
useless, ns tho latter como up the river with but
thirty pounds of steam, which docs not give su f
flclont force to blow tho whistles loud enough
so that tho bridgetendors can hoar them.

TUB PRICE OB BREAD,
DBALBIIB TIUIEATENINO AIIISB ON Abb QUACKS.
In order to ascortolu to just what extent; the
bread trade Is unsettled, a Thibunb reporter
called upon a number of tbo principal baiters
yesterday afternoon. A leadlngwbolosalo man
ufacturer staled that about a wook ago the price
of Vienna broad was advanced ono cent, and
now retailed fur eight cents. Vienna broad was,
to bo ranked among tho luxuries and command
ed u good prloo ou ocoount of tbo extra cost In
Us inuiiufnoiuro. Tho bulk of tbo broad mudo
retails at seven cents, though thoro are grades
retailing os low as five cents. There ought'to bo
arolsoof o’cent a loaf, it was claimed, since
Hour was $1 a barrel higher than It was six weeks
ago, labor had advanced, and yeast bad nearly
doubled In cost. Tho dealer stated that ho
baked from B,UN) to 10,UN) loaves u night, and tho
. advance of a cent a loaf was an absolute neces
sity, as tbo present prices barely covered cost.
It was his opinion that, If tho bakers did not gut
the advance, they would either have to go out
of tho business or
OUT DOWN TUB WEIGHT OF TUB LOAF.
Another manufacturer said bo handled two
grades, milk and common broad. MUk! broad
retailed for aeven cents, and there was no dis
position to advance tho price of that grade at.
S resent, as the Uour used in Us manufacture
ad nut increased In price. Common- broad
Is. now selling tor live cents, but, as the
Hour used in Us production had advanced from
sl.to $1.60 per barrel, the bakers generally
thought they ought to get a cent moro on tho
loaf, Tbo reporter Inquired as to whether the
bakers would bo likely to reduce tbo site of
tbolr loaves in case they could not get an in
crease of price, and was told that there was a
city ordinance fixing the standard weight at six
teen ounces, but that It was uol enforced.
•*Look hero," said tbo baker, “I will weigh a
few loaves Just to show you that they are no
sbortwolgbt," Whereupon ho took several
loaves from bis stock, aud, placing them in the
scales, the reporter saw that they tipped tho
beam at sixteen and a half ana seventeen
ounces, this showing that they wore not only up
to the standara, but wero actually over weight.
M J could refer you, It 1 chose," said the baker,
** to a number of small manufacturers, whoso
broad Is slways under weight, and It . tbo city
officials would take (be trouble to Inquire Into
the matter, they would find that the loavoe
turned out by the men referred to do not aver-.
ago more than fourteen ounce*. This shortage
or two ounces to tbo lout makes a barrel of
Hour yield about a dollar more, ana Is a direct
violation of tbo ordinance, enabling bakers wbo
are unscrupulous ouougb to resort to U to
undersell tho honest baker."

from Archer avenue to tho river, to connect

Aid. Lawlor believed It would bo for tbe best
intoroat of tbo Club to bnvc tbo two ovlls

Uippnutly.
The Mayor said ttaoClub had a license, and It
liquor was being sold to minors bo would rovoko
it. Ho would direct tbo police to look luto tbo
matter. -
Aid. Cullcrtoa said bo was In earnest Tbo
Police Department was doing all It could to pre
vent tbo salo of liquor to minors. In view of
tbe fuel tbnt gambling was going on all over tbo
city, tbo resolution was buncombe, and ougbtto
bo referred to Lawlor, wbo should bo Instructed
to make some sort of a report os speedily as pos
sible, and see if bo could stop lu
Aid. Smyth was opposed to tbo soiling of
liquor to minors, but dofanded tbo gamming,
which, ho said, was carried on openly without
cappers.
Ho wanted tbo resolution referred to tbo Com

First. Tbo olllco Is a sinecure as applied to

by tbem. This was so apparent to tbe members'
of tbo Council of 1877 that they refused to ap

Secondly, an attempt to carry out the law asnt

Tblrdly, there is no necessity for any official
Inspection or city .‘lnspection, as tho goods are
nil sold lu tbo country and weights ana quality
guaranteed by tho shippers. / ■

that your honorable body will suspend action on

At this point a delegation of State street prop*
orty-ownura and residents entered the Council
chamber, and Aid. Wlokcrsbam asked that they

ances In regard ,to the present blookadlngof

Aid. Everett was opposed to allowing citizens
to tnko up the time of the Council. Lot them
bo beard through some Alderman.
Ald.Dlxon said It was customary to allow such
dolvgnUons tbo courtesy of a bearing.
Aid. Barrett moved that the bo
Aid.’Young said bo would vote that tbo Com*
njlttco bo board, because Aid. Everett voted for
the cable ordinance after it bud only boon eight
or tun days before tbo Council.
Tbo Visiting Committee loudly applauded this
and wore rebuked by tbo presiding olllccr.
Aid. Everett defended bis course In voting for
tbo cable ordinance, and said tbo Aldermen
from the First Ward wore perfectly capable of
presenting tbo grievances of their constituents.
Ho was opposed to the Introduction of commit
tees of citizens into tbo Council, although bo
sympathized with tbo Stale street residents.
Aid. Hildreth suld tbo right of petition was
recognized by every legislative body, but snob
petitions must bo presented through the proper
channels,—that Is, through members of such
bodies. ' -
Aid.Sboroy thought the shortest way of dis
posing of the subject was to bear from tbo Com
mittee.
Aid. Lawler raised the point of order that tbo
objection of one member should prevent tbo ad
mittance of uny Outsiders. ■
The Chair decided that It would require a sus
pension of the rules to break In upon the regu
lar order, and a two-thirds voto would bo needed
In this case.
Aid. Burley said there was no rule to suspend.
The rules were mode to govern the Counoifonly,
and not Us relations with outsiders.

On tbo announcement of tbo vote Aid. Wlok
crshrun said that Aid. Everett’s conduct was " a

Aid. Cultorton moved that the Committee bo

Aid. Burley moved that the matter of tbo de
lays and ohstruononson State street bo referred
to the Mayor and Commissioner of Public
Works, with power to not;

Ald.Cullcrton expressly stating that the "rep
resentative” meant an Alderman. The cod of
tbo light was that Aid. Wlekorsbam was allowed
to do tbo talking, with John Forsythe os
prompter.
Aid. Smyth sold It would bo bettor to boar Mr.
Foraytho at first bond. Ho was opposed, as a
general thing, to committees coming noon tbo

"S' Burley asked what bad become of. bis

Aid. Wlckonbum, backed by Mr. Forsythe,

Aid. Cullorton. amid much confusion, Intro
duced tbo following:
ItuolvetU That the Mayor bo and bo Is hereby
Instructed to strictly ouforo tho law os to tho
ordinance relating to tho running of street-oars
on State street. • . „ . ...
Objection was made, and tho Chair ruled tbo
resolution out of order..
Aid. Wlokerabum, resuming bis speech, said
tho State street people thought there was much
unnecessary delay In laying tho cable on State
street. Thu residents on that street thought the
stroot-ralirond company might be compelled to
confluo their operations to one or two blocks at
a time. ,
Aid. Cullorton moved tho passage of bis reso
lution. and also moved that sumo* member of
tho Committee bo beard on tbo question.
Aid. Meier offered asasubstltutc an ordinance
providing that street-railroad companies when
building or repairing tpolr tracks should not ho
nllowou to build or repair more than 400 feet at

Tho Chair ruled this out as not germane to tho
question. . . . „ .
In response to a suggestion from Aid. Burley,
that tbo Mayor and Commissioner of Puhllo
Works could utteud to the matter quicker than
anybody else. Aid. Wlekorsbam sold tbo Com
mittee would b« satisfied with that disposition
of tho subject. ' •
Aid. Dixon said tho South Bide Company was

not the right to do. Tbo Mayor and Commis

A. Cincinnati Bull Denies Manipulating
the Market, ami Advises Every
body to Buy Wheat*
The Board of Trade markets woro generally
rather quiet yesterday, except in wheat, which
advanced two cents per bushel for August and
Avo-olghtbs for September. Tho Eastern and
Urltlsli markets were reported stronger, with
less favorable reports about tho French crop,
but the advance In August wheat was attributed
chiefly to tbo operations of tho clique who are
supposed to hold the reins for that month, and
they appeared to have decided upon giving tho
shorta another twist The advance was fairly
sustained till near tho close of tho day, when
August was quoted at 81.21*4, tho opening price
being f IJII and the highest tIJSDi. Considerable
August wheat was sold early at 81.21 X
and 11.22, which gave rise to tho rumor 4
that tho allqtio was unloading, ns It
was not supposed that any largo short Interest
would boput out at so Into a day. .Tho shorts
(Hied In rather froelyy but a good largo lino Is
said to bo out yet, which Includes some of tho
strong and stubborn operators, who are disposed
to tight to tho bitter ond. One of tho features
of the market was the widening of the difference
between August and September, tho latter being
ntu discount of 5 tod cents per busboL Owing
to tho
POSSimUITY OF A 8QU887.8
In the next month luturc, outslilors woro trad
ing In tho longer options, end Hoptembor was
quite freely offered, tbo bettor crop reports from
Northern Minnesota and the nows that harvest-
Ing.had begundn tbo soutbumpartof that State
favoring tuo soiling side.
To many lookers-on, however; tho wheat deal
appeared to bo ns much of nn enigma ns over.
While some thought tbo cltquo were soiling out,
others failed to boo anything to Indicate It,
With Chicago nbovo Milwaukee and other mar
kets, and tbo longer futures at a discount, they
ask wbot tho August lungs intend to do with nil
tbolr property anyway. A good many "rollers "
woro caught on the relative weakness of Sep
tember. Bovornl days ago It was predicted that
Hoptembor would soon Lu at a premium ovor
next month, and tho August shorts are under
stood to buvo bodged by going long on Septem
ber. Tho "spread” yesterday upset their cal
culations, ami n house on tbo Open Board—A. J.
Maher & Co,—was split wide open. Tho firm
was unable to name tho extent of Its failure
yesterday. It bus stood well, and dirt a consid
erable business. Outside parties estimated the
loss at something like SIjXM. One other fniluro
was reported on tho Open Board, but lor nn in
significant amount.
The Arm of Konnctt & Co., which suenumbod

A CINCINNATI DULL.
Mr. T. D. Handy, of Cincinnati, who Is crod
lied on tbo Hoard of Trade with being the chief
engineer of tbo August wheat deal. In no Inter
view at the Palmer last evening denied tbo ex
istence of n cllmio, Imt admitted that ho was
deeply Interested In wheat.
“Ihave felt that there Is merit in wheat,"
said Mr. Handy, “and think It will sell at SI.OO
per bushel on this year's crop. 1 expect to taka
ull that is tendered mu Aug. 1, and pay for It. 1
buy It as an Investment."
•* Ho you think wheat will bo scarce?"
“ 1 go Into It believing the crop Is short Don't
think there will bo over 50 per cent of nn aver
age cron In the country. Ohio, which bos been
counted on to produce from 85 to 00 per cent of
nn average, will have only about (10 per cent at
tbo most. There are thousands of acres of wheat
in tho Wcst that will not bo out."
“What do you think of the production
abroad ?" . ■
“That tho foreign crop will bo short, and that
the demand from other nations will bo as largo
nsovor. Wo will got as much forourwbeat us
wo did last year, but with loss Quantity to eoll.
I should not bo surprised to soo wheat soil
ing 'at SI.OO and $2 on this year’s crop.
1 do not go Into anything to monipulato It, but
to deal In It on Its merits. I bad faith in wheat,
believing that It was cheap, and bought from
$1.01! up.
“Do you think tho market Is largely short tor
August?"
“1 think It Is 80,000,OOObusbols short, with a
stock of 4,000,000 bushels of tbo speculative
{rude on hand. It Is now shipped out about
wleoasfastus it arrives. Within tho past ton
ton days tbo shipments havo exceeded tho re
ceipts.
“How blah a price Is August wheat likely to
roooh?"
"Think it wilt solllnt $1.35 and $1.40 per bushel.
The market Is already cornered. Tho advance
Is entirely on the mcrltn of the case. A mnn
with money to stand behind wheat cun’t miss It.
If you have any sparo cash, young man,
PUT XT INTO WIIKAT."
“How can money bo made when tho market Is
above n shlppiuir margin?"
"I have twice os much wheat ns is now In
store here, which was nought at a prlco which will
allow mo to ship It now and make a good protit,"
■ “ What Is tho average prlco of your wheat?"
“ 1 would rather not say."
“ How do you account for yesterday’s weak
ness In wheat, seller September?"
" The crowd depressed It to moke people think
August, was too high. 1 predicted, when Sep
tember was at a premium of two and one-eighth
cents, that before Aug. lit would bo utn dis
count of five cents a buibul, as compared with
next month. - Yesterday It vrus seven and a half
cunts discount."
" Wilt the deal run Into other months?"
"There will boas big a squeeze in September
and October os in August. After tbls wheat Is
delivered, X think September will advance and
bo as high ns the August future Is now. If 1
fetal! tho cash wbiut I shall hold It. and carry
t Into tho next month. lam shipping now, and
buying all that comes in. 1 was buying for
September yesterday."
"Mr. Armour is suspected of being a heavy
Eurebasor of wheat, and some surulsu ho Is the
cad of the movement?"
"Think bo lain 11, but not with mo."
Mr; Handy reiterated that, aa for a clique,
there was none. Ho paid u high compliment to
Chicago ns a great place for business, and
thought It n little odd that pooplo boro should
charge that outsiders, who came boro to roako
money, wero hero to run things or manipulate
tho markets.* Ho thought Cincinnati a very good
place to live in, but, as for making money, Chi
cago boot It all hollow.
ALDERMAN BRADY.
Why Ho Favors the ** Vlro-Bus** Or*
diimnce,
A little incident occurred in the Council cham
ber lost evening wbluh is worth preserving.
Boraoot Aid. Orndy's constituents, who wore in
attendance for tho purpose of doing what they
could to boat the passage of the Incendiary lire
ordinance, asked him how bo atgod on tho ques
tion. Ho said that bo bollevod bo should voto
fur the ordinance, since a number of bis uus
tomurs bud spoken to him, urging him to sup
port it.
s v Why," said one of the constituents In ques
tion, "ore you elected to represent tho Inter
ests of your customers In the Council?"
" I must look after my own tamlly," said Aid.
Drady, "and those who keep me In broad."
• "Then," said tho gentleman wbo was speak
ing to him, " You are not intending to discharge
public duties and to represent tho citizens of
the Thirteenth Ward, but elmply to represent
the vlowa of a fow to whom you soil bread."
Aid. llrady Insisted, in reply, that ho must
look after his own Interests, and that, since his
customers appeared to favor this incendiary
measure, he would also favor it. This view is
dangerous ground for the Alderman to adopt.
Wbllo some of his customers may bo In favor of
the ordinance and may buy bread from him on
condition of bis supporting It, others may be
opposed to tho ordinance, and may, by parity of
reasoning, decide to buy their broad elsewhere,
since there oro other places In the Thirteenth
Ward wbero broad can bo obtained quite os
good and quite as cheap as that furnished by
the Alderman's bakery.
A FAMILY FEUD.
The vicinity of Tbroop and Twelfth itroots
was the scene of a very exciting contest Bumluy
afternoon between a party of r.bout ono dozen
Frenchmen and women, who wore nearly all ro
lated to each other In some way. Chrysolite
and Oldcon Ilrusa, brothers, appear to have
come off second best. 'The former. In portion
lar, was quite badly injured about the head and
face, and yesterday when bo appeared before
Justice logersolt to swear out an arrest for his
assailant, Joseph Mora, be stated that Mora used
a stocking with a stone In the too of it. A half*
dosenot the participants were Injured more qr
leu, but none seriously.
