OF Buenos Ayres, they caused an increase in
the growing indisposition to trade. The traders
are largely In on the short side, but are afraid
to go farther in that direction, and further
decline or any material advance would cause
covering of outstanding shorts by that ele-
ment
chases by Chicago, and these completely over
balanced the selling by London. though there
was no attempt to force the CHICAGO favorltes
to the front as during the previous days OF this
week; and with the exception of ST. Paul the
Grangers occupied subordinate position in
the market. On the whole, the reactlonary
sentiment seems to have run its course. and
even with the dullness there was stubborn
strength to the list which, after the early ad-
yances, maintained prices at close to the level
OF the best figures.
The opening was under the influence of the
weakness in the Northern PacIfics, and North
ern Pacific preferred was down "a per cent at
6S54: but after further loss of u per cent it
rallied to 69A and suddenly fell away from ex-
treme activity to the most pronounced dullness,
which, to the minds of many people, was
sufficient indication of the character of the
selling of the last two days. The real trading
of the day, however, was done in the last hour,
when the desire to cover shorts became most
urgent, started by little buying for the long
account by a prominent broker. Everything
on the list which has been prominent during
the last few days suddenly became extremely
active, while prices mounted rapidly all along
the line, with Northern Pacific. Rock
Island. Burlington, St. Paul, Union Pacific,
the improvement averaged about ~ per cent
for the hour but st. Paul rose 24, and others
in proportion.
The so-caIled specialties were comparatively
neglected during the entire day. and the stocks
mentioned monopolized all the interest in the
market throughout the day. Outside demands
showed signs of an increase, since the effort to
cover shorts at as low figures as possible. The
market finally closed active and strong at the
highest prices of the day. The entire active
list is higher tonight. but the conspicuous
gains were: Burlington. 21s: St. Paul and Rock
Island, each IA; Cordage. IA; Sugar, ~, and
Chicago Gas and Louisville. each "a.
Railroad bonds were quiet and in the main
steady to firm, but the only real feature of the
day was the weakness in Richmond and West
Point Trust SIS, which declined steadily, and
dropped per cent to 81. There was a great
deal of irregularity, however, and the North
ern Pacifics were also dropping. The days
business of only SS2S 600 was widely distributed.

CHIcAG0-The days interval in trading,
caused by Chicago's local elections, was made
up by superior energy to-day The news and
the situation were together heavily in favor OF
the bull party, which held the reins in all the
speculative pits. Wheat, corn. oats and pro-
visions were all similarly affected, and closed
with substantial gains Wheat, compared with
Mondays closing prices, is 21sc higher for May
and 22sc higher for July. Corn is uD Ac and oats
made about an equal gain, while IN provisions

above Mondays closing quotations:
Wheat opened at an advance of about nc
for May and about &c for July over the closing
figures on Monday. The causes of the change
were heavy purchases of spot wheat reported
for foreign account on Monday and yesterday
ana the continued strength of the cable advices
this morning. Everything regarding the out
look for next harvest ON this continent was con
sidered to be of the most hatterlng character.
The enormous shipments from the Baltic and
other ports, including India, amounting alto
gether to $500, ,000 bushels for the week, caused
a halt in the bullish tendencies of the crowd
for time after an advance of 3sc to lc over the
opening prices had first been accomplished.
The advance referred to tooG May wheat to

them respectively down to 81 04ss and 81 021a
On good inquiry for cash stuff Nav wheat sold
up again, touching 81 05ss ald July 81 04ss.
The corn market was strong and very irregu-
lar at the opening, 671<c and 6724c being paid
simultaneously in different parts of the pit
time after the first rush of buying orders had
been satisfied. the local crowd apparently be.
ing imbued with the idea that the late bull
clique was disposed to help it TO lower range
The weather was dry and favorable to the
grading, but with wheat shorts in so much fear
of a further squeeze those having short corn
did not feel secure. May sold off to 6614c, re-
covered to 665sc, sold down again to $685., up to
size. off TO 671sc, again up to 6I24c and closed
at b73sc bid.
Oats did little more than follow the lead of
the more important cereals. There was fair
amount of business doing without heavy in.

The provision marke+ opened strong and
higher in sympathy a. ain, and for time
was torn asunder by y .Icting reports regard
ing Germany's action on the embargo on
American hog products. There was an inter-
mediate dull period, followed by another ad-
vance, and prices were about their best at the
close.

The questions pending between capital and

Carriage and wagon makers are striking for

will be light. Prices remain before. The

Converted from vegetarianism.

Dr. Alanus, the former leader of the
vegetarians in Germany. has renounced his
faith, says The Medical Record, and has re-
sumed the use of animal food. In letter
written to local paper he gives the rea-
sons for his apostasy. He had lived for a
long time, he said, on a purely vegetable
diet without experiencing any i'll effects,
feeling no worse and no better than he had
formerly while living as the rest of man
kind. One day, however, he found that
his arteries were apparently becoming
atheromatous. He was unable TO account
for this, as he was not drinking man, and
was still under 40 years of age. Finally he
came across a statement by Monin to the
3ffect that abstinence from animal food
was fertile cause of atheroma. He could
hardly have been much Of a student or
dietetics not to have come across that
theory until his own arteries had become
diseased. There Is nothing like taking
comfort out of everything, however, and
ne now consoles himself with the remark
that he has "become richer by one expert
ence, which has shown me that one single
brutal fact can knock down the most beau
iful theoretical building"

Fresh Start for nr.nentIcs.

During the past year several physicians
have tried, with gratifying success. mover
treatment for dyspepsia and cancer OF the
stomach by washing out the stomach. The
process is very simple and not dangerous.
A long, flexible pipe is passed down the
Ghroat until one end Is in the stomach.
The upper end has funnel attached, into
which hot water is poured until the stom-
ach is filed. The weight of the water in
the pipe and funnel gives a hydraulic
pressure sufficient to slightly distend the
stomach. The pipe has an aperture big
enough to hold a lead pencil After the
stomach has been filed the funnel end Of
the pipe is turned down until it is lower
than the bottom of the stomach, and the
stomach is emptied as barrel Of any fluid
is emptied through a siphon. The process
may be repeated several times. The result
is that the undigested food and mucus are
washed out, and the hot water closes the
bloodvessels and reduces Inflammation.
The relief is immediate. The dyspeptic
may have his stomach washed out before a
meal, so that he can take a fresh start
After the lapse of sufficient time for or
binary digestion the stomach may he
washed out again.
The New York Sun, which is authority
for the foregoing, says that this process
has been in use at the New York Hospital
for some time. The stomach pump has
been mainly used in cases of poisoning,
and is considered the first essential be-
fore administering antidotes. But they
are so seldom used that few physi rs
have them. Recently in a case of pO.son-
ing three prominent physicians were APP
piled to for the use of stomach pump,
and neither of them had one, and the pa
tient had to be taken to the hospital.

PETTY Shoplifters.

Shopping seems to be as brisk this
year as it was last. The large shops up
town have been crowded almost every
day in the past week, and the extent of
the buying does not suggest any unusual
scarcity of money. Most Of the great
emporiums find it necessary in the holi-
day season TO double and sometimes
treble their detective forces. lit is am
ateur shoplifting that causes rs the most
trouble" explained the chief detective
in an extensive establishment in Twenty
third street. I'VE know nearly all Of
the professionals and can spot them at
the door, but there are large number
of women who come In here without the
slightest intention of stealing, but who
yield TO the temptation to pick up little
things that happen TO please their fancy.
They see lots of pretty articles scat
tered about loosely and apparently IN
watched, and almost unconsciously they
commit petty thefts- Such women,
presume, do not realize that they are
stealing, and there are instances con-
stantly occurring where their consciences
compel them 10 return the pilfered arti-
cles anonymously. Arrests, did you
say? No; we seldom cause an arrest TO

a quiet word is generally all that is
necessary to secure the return Of the
