GAS STOVES

Are invaluable and should be investi-
gated by careful housekeepers. ~ C0YlI
About 1 200 are in use in this city and|
the number would be greatly increased ia
their merits were fully understood. 1
AS Cookers" they are unrivalled and
are far superior to coal or wood stoves inl
cooking meats or vegetables. slfe'
AS Water Heaters" and 'IronersY
they are most useful, especially when the
weather is too warm to use the ordinary
stove or range. Nesi %
As a heating apparatus that can bel
moved from room to room in few min
utes by the housekeeper they are most
convenient.
AS assistant heaters in rooms where
furnaces or steam heat will not ascend
ON the windward side they have given
great satisfaction.
As permanent heaters III rooms that
cannot be reached by heating hues they
have given much comfort.
AS intermittent heaters, where heat is
wanted only an hour or two at time,
they are economical. 7l g.
For offices and stores, when the weather
is rather warm for furnace fresg they
may prevent sickness. $50
For spring and autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesome and expensive, they are comforts
able and economical. ,7He1 $3.50
As fires that can be started in a min
ute and extinguished in less time, they
are most satisfactory lla e.4l COO

Still the Report From
Wall Street.

CHICAGO, June 25-The Derby paralyZed
trade on change today. and the directors
readily closed the session forty-tive minutes
before the usual hour There was poor
excuse for a wheat market most OF the ses-
sion. The principal matters to consider
were the weather, the harvesting reports ana
the probabilities of the anti-oplion BILL
None OF these contained anything to change
prices much Fluctuations were confined
toAQssc range, and the closing was about
Isc lower than yesterday.
The corn market was not quite so narrow
as wheat. What action there was occurred
the first hour. The receipts owing probably
to railroad washoutS, fell considerably under
the estimate at 53l cars for the day. The
grading was not improved, with only A cars
contract corn.

An advance of 12Ac i'll lard for the day was
the feature OF the provision trade. The de-
mand was remarkable from from first to last,
and the offerings light. While pork and ribs
were little active and higher the advance
was not in keeping with lard, usually the
sloWest thing on the list. The receipts of
hogs were light, which may have encouraged
the buyers for the long account and caused
some buying also for shorts.
Lake rates were rather slow. The rapid
current in the river prevents vessels from
getting to the elevators to load. Rates held
steady at &c for wheat and lac for corn to
