COMMERCIAL And FINANCIAL
Buying Of Professionals Was the Feature Of
the Market.
WHEAT OPENED REMARKABLY STRONG
Most of the Opening Advance Came
from the Unexpected strength
Displayed by the Liver
pool Cables.

CHICAGO. Feb 2s.-The steady persist
ent buying of professionals. both here and
in New York, who have been caught hcav-
ily short, was the principal impetus TO
wheat today, and aided by the unexpected
strength displayed by the Liverpool mar
ket. caused a gain of sc for the day. Corn
and oats were but slightly responsive and
provisions made further slight reccssions.
Wheat opened remarkably strong, consid-
ering that the closing frmness yesterday
was mostly due to apprehension regarding
the predicted cold wave, but which failed
TO materlalze Most OF the opening ad-
vance came from the unexpected strength
displayed by the Liverpoo, cables, which
came from &c to &c higher and which
rather upset calculations. The undercurrent
of the trade was bullish and required only
proper encouragement from abroad to give
1t aggressive courage. ana this 1t got in a
measure. There were also some pad crop
damage reports In circulation, and estimates
of liberal decrease in the visible suppy,
Minneapolis wiring that the increase there
would only be about $4,000 bu. Shorts were
quick to take a,arm, and there was gener-
Gus covering and as the selling was eau
up. A good deal of long wheat. which had

last hour and touched 6Shc, but the price
finally proved too tempting and considerable

price back to G7Ac. at which price 1t closed.
C5rn was quiet but firm taking its tone
generally from wheat. although the heavy
local receipts prevented material advance:
May opened trihe higher at SoAc and
closed steady at that figure.
oats were quiet little trading being done.
The feeling however. was firm In sympathy
with wheat and corn and a slight advance
was noted. May opened about Bc higher
at 2iAc and fuctuated but little, closing at
that price bid.
Provisions were very weak at the open
ing and a still further loss was soon noted
from the number of stop loss orders which
came in. There was good buying at the
decline and most of the early loss was re-
gained. May pork, closed Sc lower. May

OUNCES OF PREVENTION.
How to Care for the Health OF IL,
Children, in Winter EspcciRIIy.

How to Care for the Health of the
Children, i'm Winter Especially.
When New York was suffering from an
epidemic of dphtheria the Board of Health
decided that its prevalence was TO be attrb-
uted to the fumes of kerosene lamp turned
down low more than any other single
cause. Whether or not this be So comments
the New York Herald. it is certainly a mis-
taken kindness on the part of an indulgent
| mother to allow lamp to remain in child's
bedroom. with the flame turned low. A
turned down kerosene lamp is magazine
OF deadly gas. to which the strongest lungs
| cannot be safely exposed.
mother. whose two children are such
marvels Of health and beauty as to make
ter the envied of all her friends when asked
her formula for keeping them so, replied "a
simple, regular diet an early bed hour. a
cold room to sleep in and cold morning
bath" These are at least four of the best
ounces of prevention, not only against dph-
liberia but any other malady.
The cold morning bath. however. must be
hygienicaly and scientifically administered.
1t means work on the part of the mother, but
1t is work that pays for itself 1t must be
done in a room with temperature OF at least
72 degrees. 1t is a difficult matter to bring
a sleeping room that has been BEAUTIFULLY
cold all night up to the required degree inn
mediately after rising, but with a small gas
stove this may be easily accomplished In a
bathroom. Expose only half of the body at
q time, give q violent RUBBING with q SOFT
crash twel, than hasty rub with a sponge,
dipped in Geld water, and after this thor
ough rubbing and drying, when the whole
skin will be in a hoalthful glow
This plan has been tried with child whose
previous winters ha6 been marked by one
cold after another with such success that
so far he has not had even a single influenza.
If your child has cold, don't wait until he
is better to begin but start at once The
chances are that few days of this treat
ment will cure it
Another precaution that will avert many an
attack of influenza, or even of a mere serious
infammatory ailment Is breathing through
the nostris when exposed directly to very
cold temperature. If the mouth be kept open,
the freezing air strikes directly on the tonsils
and larynX. while the nasal passages are con-
stantly kept warm by the breath passing
through from the lungs, aud these, conse-
quently, warm the air taken in Children
can be quite readily taught this lesson, which
is one that teachers, as well as parents,
would do well to enforce
1t is good plan, too, to see that the little
ones toast their feet before going to bed as
well as before starting and after returning
from school play. Children will play with
cold feet seemingly unconscious of d.sc0m-
fort, but they are none the less taking cold.
Once get child accustomed to this, and he
will look out for 1t himself a matter Of
habit.

HOGS-The receipts of hogs were about the
same as yesterday far numbers were con-
cerned there being 3,646 today and 37l3 the day
before. In addition to the fresh receipts there
were about / 800 stale hogs carried over from
the previous day. making a total osi sale of close
to 5000 head
Large receipts and lower markets at all other
points had a depressing effect here and the mar
kct opened &c to 10c lower. The trade was rather
slow, salesmen being backward about making
the concession and buyers not appearing to be in
any hurry to I'LL orders.
The range of prices was s3GoG3.T0. with heavy
hogs selling largely at $3.60Gp3.65 and light
weights at 50 6593.70. There We're more sales at
50 65 than at any other price. The bulk of the
hogs sold early, but toward the last tha market
became very slow and the close was weak at
the decline with ten loads unsold. Representa-

Never Smiled Again,

Congressman Morse of Massachusetts, bet
ter known as "the rising sun statesman"
made a somewhat remarkable speech in the
house few DAYS ago which did not find its
way to the official record. Mr.. Morse. who
is generous and kindly, was arguing in favor
of private pension bill, and endeavored to
rouse the sympathes of his fellow members
by telling them the sad case of veteran
whose application for a pension had been de-
MED. THAT old soldier who had fought SO
bravely for his country" cried Mr.. Morse.
"died of broken heart. Yes, Mr. Speaker.
he died of a broken heart, Of broken heart,
SIR, and he never smiled again; he never
smiled again."
