Bar on Ocean Port High Insurance Rates Crush Chicago Steamship Plan
Excessive cargo insurance for transatlantic routes to Europe defeats Chicago as an ocean port. Northwestern lines face much higher rates than New York routes, prompting fleet withdrawal from trans Atlantic service. Meanwhile farm price spikes push vegetables and fruit beyond reach for poor families, with potatoes and cabbage fetching unusual sums in Chicago markets. Judge William Cecil Price, once a Confederate supporter, dies penniless in Chicago after a life defending slavery and serving the Confederacy. A photographic device tests to record 10,000 checks hourly, promising fast bank document reproduction. Union servant girls win dispute at a Chicago hotel, and anti noise advocates plan court action against church bells. Local social notes include visits and staffing changes at Smith’s grocery and area homes.
