Chicago Change.

Chicago, May 9-Ninety-five to 100 de- grees above zero is not thought to be the tempera ture required by winter wheat at the present stage of growth, and the dis cussion of this question was the means of establishing much higher prices for wheat today. There were other considerations having more or less importance in aiding the strength Shorts were evidently i'll at ease and covered very freely today, more so during the last hour than fin the earlier part of the session. Some buying for St. Louis and New York account took place, but the popular belief was that influential traders were not in the market to any eX- tent. July opened from Of to 64hc advanced to 644c closing al 649sQ6fS4c, 2bg2lac higher than yesterday. The samples were traded in at yesterdays prices, but the nominal closing was strong in sympathy with the futures.
 Corn was firm all day. The strength was not so pronounced as on the previous days of the week, but the upward trend was clearly defined. The strength of wheat was valuable aid to corn today. Business was rather dull, outside orders not being large or numerous. July corn opened from 511s to 51Ac, sold between 50Ru51k151Ac, closing at the outside, 9sQlsc higher than yester- day. Cash corn sold generally at yester- days price, but that branch of the market was firm.
 Oats gained fractionally by the force of strength of wheat and corn. The usual state of dullness and inactivity prevailed, and business was in the line of local and floor transactions. July closed 8c higher than yesterday. Cash oats were firm to

 New York, May 9.-The reactionists in the stock market were out in full force again today, but except in sugar their efforts went for naught At the opening London and commission houses had orders to buy in some cases little below the figures prevailing at the time mentioned. Later on this confidence expressed by the foreign CTS brought about a radical change in senti- ment on the part of the local traders not in touch with London and the continent, and there was a grand rush to cover. The anthracite coalers were the first to feel the change and under heavy purchases ad- vanced anywhere from F to 2s per cent, New Jersey Central scoring the largest gain. The story was that the control of the Reading had passed to the Jersey Central, but interviews with the leading of1eiaIs 'l or ested in the deal, failed to confirm the re- port. Another interesting rumor was to the effect that the Western Union and. the various telephone companies had made important agreements.

To Out-of-Town Patients:

Since the establishment of the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Pirmingham-as the files of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced 2s to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled "old reliable specialists" to im- itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious prete tensions end heroic self-praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an investigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are member of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K. of P, or belong to any order or organization then write to some leader officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us a plain state- ment of your case and inelose stamp for reply. We will give you then our opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the. best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than a stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
 We will send in plain sealed envel- ope our "Book for Men" and Question List for Pc stamp; Question List for Ladies for Pc stamp.
 All correspondence will be consid- cred confidential and be kept sacredly inviolate.
 As pointer, please read this from recent issue of the Age-Herald:
 IA gentleman from another town came to Birmingham one day last week to place himself in the hands of a specialist. As wise man would do under the circumstances, he made in- quiries among the citizens of Birming- ham. He asked score of men, and nearly every one referred him to Dr. O. T. Dexter, head of the Southern Medical Dispensary."

New Orleans advanced 12 to 13 points. Liverpool advanced 31a to points for future delivery. and 1-32d on the spot, with sales of 12000 bales. The Bombay weekly receipts were 9O,00O bales, against 5000 last year afioat 23,0OO against 14,000 last year. Shipments to Great Britain 2000 and to the continet 35,O00 against 310OO last year. The port receipts today were 4103, against 58S4 last week and 2417 last year; thus far this week 34.09S, against 4S,093 last week. New Orleans receipts tomorrow are esti- mated at 2500 to $500 bales against 326S last the ports were 3155 bales to Great Britain, and 17O7 to the continent. Spot cotton was quiet and unchanged, with sales of 96 bales for spinning. In Manchester yarns were spot markets were generally quiet and un- changed.
 Today's features: Nothing frightened the bears more than the rumor that the gov ernment report vii be bullish, that it will estimate the decrease in the acreage at anywhere from 15 to per cent. But there was other things to make them feel un- comfortable namely the sudden activity In Liverpool, accompanied by higher prices, the pressure to buy here for short accaount and the liberal advance in New Orleans to- day, the good exports from the southern ports, the bullsh North Carolina state re port. the heavy and possibly injurious rains in some parts of>the south, the re- port that the Japan-China questions had been settled, and some accessions here of outstanding trades. which had been rota- bly, absent of late. The situation was in word more, cheerful in New York, New Orleans and Liverpool. A large bull house was reported to be selling on the rise today. On the other hand German and other bears were buying. The market took the cotton readily and the undertone was considered firm.
