They May Smoke on Xorth IllinoisStreet Trailers ff Eanlpments. . A delegation of North Illinois-street residents called upon Manager McLean, of the Citizens Street-railroad' Company, yesterday, and asked that the trailers in use on that line be dedicated to the use of smokers. It was urged that , the trailers were not used by the patrons generally, and the smokers that usually crowd on the rear platform of a motor car would comfortably fill a trailer. Manager McLean promised to give the matter consideration and last evening he decided upon an order to that effect. On all motor cars, to which trailers are attached, smoking will be prohibited, either within or on the platforms. Where, there are closed trailers they alone are to be for smokers. Mr. McLean thinks this will be an improvement over the present arrangement. It will put smokers by themselves and women and children will not be compelled to force their way through a crowd of platform smokers in order to enter a car. Mr. McLean says little complaint is heard from less patronized lines and he anticipates the order will go far toward silencing all complaints. The date of the enforcement of the new order has not yet been fixed. What to do with the platform smokers has been one of the most perplexing questions with which the company has had to deal. Complaints pour into the company's office regarding the crowds that congregate on the platforms. For some time the officials of the company have been considering a proposition to prohibit smoking on all cars, but no action has been taken. As trailers are in use upon the lines lipon which there has been the most complaint, the new order is hoped to make a more stringent and general order unnecessary. The motor equipments for ten , new cars are expected to be ready in a few days, and all the lines will be benefited by the additions. DAILY VITAL STATISTICS MARCH 19 Deaths.

WHEAT WAS POUNDED

CHICAGO BEARS SUCCEEDED IX K.OCKI.G.OFF 2C FROM MAY. Both Corn and Oats Were Strong: and Higher, hut Provisions Suffered a Final Loss. CHICAGO. March 13.. Urged by a moderate decrease In the world's supply and easy cables the bears pounded wheat down another half cent to-day. May closing that much lower. Corn was stubbornly and independently strong, gaining c for May, and May oats followed with c gain. Provisions were weak, closing at declines. There were plenty of sellers of wheat at the opening at from '56 c down to 55c, and very few buyers at!above the lower of these quotations. The reason for the weakness was made up of the kneading together of the foreign news and a slight sprinkle of rain along the southern edge of the winter wheat belt in this country. Liverpool was quoted d lower. The Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were again in excess of the number of cars reported on the corresponding day of last year, being 376 cars to-day to 257 last year. Primary market receipts to-day were 310,000 bu, against 279,000 a year ago. The only bullish feature of the day's movement was the heavy export clearances of wheat and flour from the Atlantic seaboard which amounted to 450,000 bu. That stratn?d the market at around 56c and 56c durihg' the greater part of the forenoon, up to about the time when Bradstreet's report is received. After the latter report came in the price yielded again and 55c became the trading price for a few seconds on that noon break. Bradstreet's visible ' showed decreases east and west of the Rocky mountains amounting to 1,894,000 bu, while in Europe and afloat there was an increase of 848,000 bu, leaving a net decrease of 1,046,000 bu in the world's stocks against 1,940,000 bu decrease in the same time a year ago. The Russian crop of last year, it was reported, had been again officially estimated, making 74,000,000 bu larger than previous estimates, but the later commercial advices from Europe were that Russian wheat was scarce and held at Russian ports above its spring value. The closing cables quoted weakness and a slight decline at Liverpool, a slight advance in wheat at Paris, no change in values at Antwerp, but 2 marks decline at Berlin. There was an Increase of activity after Bradstreet's report came in, and durina the time declined to 55c; after recovering again to 55(55c it became weak and remained so to the end, closing at 55c. The corn market set an example of bullishness which .was again the envy of its bigger neighbor. It was . kept down by the bearishness of the latter early in the day, but asserted a stubborn independence after a slight decline, and was soon hoisted. The opening price for, May was 46c, it declining gradually to 4646c, and then advanced steadily to 47c. It weakened at the latter price and sold down to 46c, but found plenty of buyers on that reaction. Primary market receipts amounted to J82,000 bu, compared with 503,000 bu a year ago. The reports from the interior of this State are that Baltimore and St. Louis buyers are paying 3 cents over Chicago for No. 3 corn and shipping it to Baltimore and Newport News, thus prospectively curtailing receipts at Chicago. The demand for carloads to go to store was particularly active at an advance of from c to lc per bu. The May futures rose before the close to 4747c and closed at 47c. Oats experienced a fairly active session. At the opening values were a shade firmer and selling became quite general. Bart lett-Frazer were, principally , prominent. This firmness in -corn; however, soon put it back on its feet. ; It- went from 29c to 29c. sold up to 29c, and closed at that price. - ".-. -- '.- - - - Provisions went down from the start. From $11.90 and $11.92 May pork kept on the slide until It could be bought for $11.57. It then became firmer and recovered a little, but- touched $11.55 before making any permanent Improvement. After recovering to $11.80 it closed at $11.70, a loss of 25 cents. Lard closed '.05c and ribs12c lower.

CHICAGO. March 19. In cattle the total of all descriptions was barely 3,000, and there were only here and there a bunch that by any possible stretch of the imagination would grade better than medium. The inquiry was better than was expected for Tuesday and there was an undercurrent of great firmnessi. There are no Indications of any decided increase In the arrivals, and. therefore, the trend of the market is still upward. Steers were qtroted at $4 6.35, cows and heifers at $1.604.75, stockers and feeders at $2.60&4.50 and Texans at $2Q5. The hog market was weak and the average was 5c lower than for yesterday. The change in prices were the best, shippers paying close to Monday's prices. -After they had filled their orders and sellers were obliged to look to local packers the market was very steady. Sales were principally at $4.35'4.6r for averages over 200 lbs and $4.40 g4.45 were the prices most frequently paid for lighter weights. At the close $4.70 was the top for heavy and $4.55 for light weights. The weak turn in the market is explained by the break in provisions. There was a good demand for sheep and lambs at about steady prices. Sheep sold principally at $3.5(Wt4.40, with $2.75(S4.25 the range of quotations. Lambs were quoted at $2.50(g5.65, with sales principally at $55.50.
