That Was Anticipated-ItH Had Been Re-
garded as Certain to Come for Some
Time.
CHICAGO-The Prussian ukase has come
at last, but it did not have the effect on the
Chicago wheat market that was anticipated.
Indeed, the reports of the issue of this i'm
perial mandate have been repeated 80 many
times and its appearance SO Confidently ex-
pected that traders generally had taken it
for granted that the prohibition was but q

ukase had spent to great degree itself be-
fore its issue, but continental as well as
English cables started the market to sd-
vance the second time and was mostly ac-
countable for the frmness which existed to-
day. San Francisco was reported stronger
at 81 IA, an advance of &c per bushel. France
was reported a good buyer there, and the
United Kingdom was reported as doing some
buvfng.
The provision market was afflicted with
duIlness and indifference on the part of the
traders and in the absence of any strong
lead from any of the influential, the packers,
price changes were light. Pork closed
25c lower for December and January, and
nc lower for May. Lard is unchanged and
ribs are also at the same price as on the day
before, except for May, which is q fraction

Diseases Mistaken for Rheumatism.

Rheumatism is often mistaken for other
diseases, especially gout;but gout is periodic,
lasts about q week, attacks the SMALLER
joints and affects the kidneys. rheumatism
attacks the LARGE joints, begins with ex-
posure, lasts several weeks or months when
not medically arrested. affects the heart but
not the kidneys Then there is the RHEUMA-
ITO DYsCRAsIA OR RHEUMATIC ARTaRITIs, W hich
is separate and distinct disease, and has to
be treated on a different principle. In this
there is enlargement of the knuckles,
thicRening of the skin, especially at the
of the fingers, pain in the heel tendon. burn
ing pains in the soles of the feet and palms OF
the hands. Then again rheumatism is often
mistaken for internal pain-pro iucing
tumors, disease of t he bones and membrane
that covers them, chronic malaria. lead pos
oning, shingles, neuralgia. spinal disease and
disease of the bladder. How many poor
patient has been burned and blistered along
the sciatic nerve, had the nerve time and
again injected with hypodermics, and the
nerve as last resort stretched, all for
"sciatic rheumatism when the seat of the
trouble was at the neck of the bladder and
the pain reflected down the thigh by nerve
indirectly connected with this great sciatio
nerve. But physician well up in his dag
nosis is not very liable to mistake either of
these diseases for rheumatism.
Dr.. Davis has returned from q short vaca-
ton, and his many friends at the Electro
pathic Institute will be glad to see him per.
sonalIy in the chair again. He has decided
to continue the Sc rate for treatment and
medicine to all persons and for all diseases
for the rest of the year.

Watson & Gibson wired the following to
John NJ. Oakley & Co.: "The good feeling
which manifested itself so conspicuously
yesterday was continued to-day, and the
market exhibited very solid front. Natur-
ally much of its strength yesterday and to-
day was due to the hurried covering of an
accumulated short interest, but neverthe-
less the temper of speculation was mani
testify bullish.
1.-THE Russian ukase prohibiting the ex-
port of wheat is said to have actually been
promulgated, and while the grain markets
may have discounted the final proclama-
tidn, its effect may be permanent one the
rest of the crop year on our export trade.
The fear of war, which is in the minds of
observers and which unfortunate economic
conditions might lead to- is diminished by
climatic considerations. It may be deferred
until spring, when the icy fetters are re-
moved from the Russian bear.
1.-THE prospective showing of per cent
earned on New York Central has come as
reminder that the railways are the first to
share in the benefits of big crops and their
transportation.
"Whether the public will be led into re-
newed campaign or not owing to number
of untoward events during the past six
weeks it is difficult to say. So far their atti-
tude has been negative, only they have not
sold out. If the short interest abroad is as
large as many believe, the arrival Of next

by free purchases to cover. The indications
Of the stock loan market at the close was
that large short interest is still open.
"The Lead Trust reorganization is pro-
ceeding, and on December it will be de-
clareu effective, about two-thirds of the
shareholders having already assented.
Gas the courts have decided that trust
form is an illegal one, obstructionists can
not invoke judicial aid to arrest the trans
fer to a legal form. The price of the Lead
Trust is very near its lowest figures, while
most of the industrial stocks are near their
highest. The business of mahtng white lead
is a staple and profitable one, and now
largely under control of this organization.
whisky Trust is said to be in better
shape than ever before, and as it pays per
