Chicago Board OF Trade.


CHICAGO, Aug THE wheat trade had
the same conditions as on Saturday. They
had the visible supply report to keep them
waiting until midday There was no very
bad news and yet nothing to start a buoy
ant market. Prices ruled higher from the
start, but the best improvement was linn
tied to go over tho Saturday high and
closing price. The local stocks in public
houses were reduced SSl 900 bu for
the week to q total Of ls,S46,00J
bu. The big northwestern markets
had moderate receipts OF 39S cars
covering two days. The visible supply a
year ago increased over 1850, 900 bu. An
increase of perhaps $4,000 was expected
this morning. The final figures gave the
increase for the country at only $4,000.
New York reported 81 100000 more gold
ordered for import, raising the total in ten
days to nearly SIS, G00000. This was offset
by some iron failures The sentimental help
of congress coming together was some
what Offset by the telegraphed statement
that Hatch Is on hand with another anti
option bill. All together the trade went
slow. September sold &c to 63Ssc to 621,c
to 621{c and back to 8?c1 before midday.
After the visible figures we're posted the
price took a drop to 81 &c. December sold
69Ltc to 69Jsc and slowly back to 6sJkc.
Wheat was in the dumps the last hour,
New York exchange was run up over $50,
and business was impossible. Stocks were
badly demoralized. On the late selling

6SJsc. August l54c under December at
59%c.

On tho other hand there was no outside

down after the first hour and reports of

heavy feeling. The September price went

Board of HeaIth's Favorable Report

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, August 18th, 49,
The Board of Health reports TO The
Times, of this city, through City Physi'
clan Holland that each of the eleven
third stage consumptivcs placed
under the treatment obtained from DIR.
Amick, of Cincinnati, by the city au-
thorities several weeks ago, have inn
proved to degree almost miraculous.
The results as given To the press by
Wards Island Hospital, New York,
while equally sensational, were not SO
comprehensive, and local medical men
claim that this is the most complete
demonstration that consumption is cur
able thus far made. The Times says
the eleven patients TO whom were adj
ministered DIR. AmIck's medicines are
SO far improved that their appetites
have returned. They sleep well at
night, have no night sweats, the irrl-
tating cough has disappeared, and they
feel much stronger in every way. Lo-
cal physicians report similar results in
private practice from medicines
furnished them by the Cincinnati doc
tor and all apparently agree that it is
the most important discovery medical
science has yet brought to light.
