CHICAGO GRAIN REVIEW.
May Wheat eo1s at Close-Corn
Quiet. Oats Slow.

Chicago, Jan. 12-At the opening, op-
ton prices for wheat showed a slight de-
cline. May starting at 9O24Q967s as com
pared with yesterdays close or sic. rms
was because Liverpool showed a very
small advance in response TO the gain
here yesterday and Paris opened lower.
Northwestern receipts were again TOO
heav.r to be a comfort to the bulls, and
smaller receipts here were the only cir
cumstance that they could claim in their
favor. Trading was restricted by the
general bearishness of the speculative
crowd, which prevented them from buying
and their timidlty at the same time OF
being caught short under the Well-knoWn
threatening local conditions that now eX-
iSt. For a snort time after the opening
the market did show some strength.
Brokers for the Letter interests were fair
buyers at 905s, and their example in this
respect was followed by some of the small
fry, the price as result advancing to
91H. Rumors that the French duty on
grain was about to be reduced were per-
sistently circulated at the opening and
helped the advance. DenialS soon became
so unanimous. however, that the crowd
dropped the tariff reduction as a motive
for the decline at Paris, and the market
here eased off from that time.
The receipts at western primary mar
keIs were 10000 bushels, against 100000
bushels the corresponding day of the
year before. Liverpools advance was only
4d perennial ana Paris opened from
confines to Is confines lower. Beerbohm
cabled that Argentine wheat sold at 33s
Cd, or the equivalent of 81 .0012 and that
cargoes of that wheat were being freely
offered to arrive. On the other hand, the
Minneapolis dispatches reiterated their
constant theme of coming scarcity in that
region.
The export clearances of wheat and
flour from the Atlantic ports amounted
to AS, 600 bushels. Closing cables brought
lower quotations from continental mar
kets. while Liverpool closed about IA
lower for next crop futures, September
showing i4d advance. Paris quoted flour
for this months delivery As centimes
lower and for March-May 10 centimes
higher. wheat confines lower for both
immediate and remote deliveries; Ant
werp % confines lower for American red
and 1919 confines lower for Walla Walla-
The price of May fiuctuated between
905s and 81 cents for the greater part of
at 903s In the last 10 minutes of the ses-
sion, support almost entirely disappeared,
and operators who had become long on
the early French rumors had considerable
in unloading. May declined
rapidly in consequence and was quoted at
902sG901a at the close.
Corn was very quiet. The market was
easy at the opening with wheat. 1t
turned firm on the prospects of cold
wave, but turned easy again as wheat de-
clined and showed weakness for the rest
of the session.
The market for oats was slow. Some
firrnness was shown at the opening. but
later prices fell off with wheat and corn.
Provisions were strong throughout.
Much lighter receipts of hogs than eX-
oected started the market at small adj
vanceS all around.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

House at Portland, Ore, on Dec. 81,

arrived nere on the I'd instant, where
they were met at the depot by a large
concourse of admiring friends to wish
them joy and all the pleasures and
happiness in their matrimonial venture,

elopement- They left on the 18th inst.

to make their future home, the groom

New York, Jan. IA dispatch to the
World from Vienna says Professor
Schenck, Of the Vienna University,
whose reported marvellous discovery of
the secret Of sex startled civilization
last week, has made the following au-
thoritative statement of the result of
his experiment. DR.. Schenck, for more
than four years, has been absorbed in
the development of the human and
lower animal embryos, and is the recog-
nized leading authority in that branch
of science. He published in 1865 the
first essay on the development of the
embryonical heart and since that time
has written a whole library of the de-
Velopment of man and beast from the
Jvum, or eggs. He is thoroughly SER
iouS scientist, who does not exploit his
discovery Cor money. He does not ac-
cept fees for his treatment of patients.
The correspondent asked: Can you
give me positive, direct information of
your discovery with regard to the treat
ment of women anxious to have sons?'
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-01-13
ACCEPTS NO REWARD.

81 have accepted no reward for the
successful cases 1 have treated. They
are precious to me beyond gold, as
proof of the reality of my discovery.
Il have achieved success in a fam
lily in which the desire for birth of a
son was intense. If I told you the
name of the head of the family you
would know that for him TO pay S1O,0cJ
for my services would be no more than
for you to pay a doctor for examining
your throat. But 1 did not accent.
"All former theories and hypothesis
have all been proved false. Accord
ing to my discovery, the man has no
influence whatever on the sex of the
child. 1t all depends upon the woman.
But the treatment must not begin al
ter pregnancy. 1t must begin before
conception, as the woman must be put
into position to enable her to develop
a male child from the ovum. The as
sertion that the ovum in the female
ovary possesses the male or the female
germ already developed before impreg-
nation. is false. On the contrary, the
embryo is sexless during several stages
of development. 1t is possible that my
treatment can develop a male child
even in this stage. but there is no
certainty of it.

MUST WATCH PATIENT.

But I cannot trust every stranger
that may appeal to me. 1 must be able
to watch the patient; must be certain
that my directions are scrupulously
obeyed I consider every new case an
experiment, a test Of my discovery. l
must have certainty. 1 can bring 1t
about with human beings or with ami
mails which have one born at a time,
and say this offspring shall be male,
and with animals bearing many to-
gether, that the majority shall be male.
When I observed hens 1 numbered the
eggs, determining beforehand whether
a male or a female bird would come
out. 1 scarcely ever was mistaken.
The Worlds correspondent remarked
that no doubt he would be appealed to
by many families, especially where
large fortunes are at stake. The pro-
fessor replied: Il am no man of bust
ness, but exclusively a scientist. l
am not anxious to gain a fortune, but
desire above everything that my dis
covery shall be scientifically confirmed
and recognized. The Academy Of Sci
enceS alone can do this.

THE RESULTS.

termination: 4 gave the treatment I'M
der seal to the Vienna Imperial Acad-
envy of Science, where it VIII be tested
and published. But l can tell you the
results of my discovery, and let you
have the scientific facts upon which
my discovery is based. What lies be-
tween is my secret. If 1 say 1 can de-
termine the sex of q child to be born,
you must understand that can bring
it about that the woman shall become
the mother of a son and not of daugh-
ter. My treatment has no other aim
than causing boys to be born. 1 made
my discovery many years ago, and
subjected it to proofs. 1t is by my own
choice that 1 am the father of six sons,
four o: whom are alive and strong. L

near the mouth of Green river. several
years ago, ! saw n large and fierce
skunk beat an ignominlous retreat
after trying In vain TO best several
English sparrows. and later. when the
skunk had screwed his courage mp 10
the sticking point again. | saw those
same insignificant looking little birds
tear the animal TO shreds. When my at
tentlon was first attracted the spar
rows we're flying from one side OF the
thicket 10 the other. twlttering like
mad. when ! went 10 learn the cause
the skunk. badly frightened. was dodg-
ing from one side 10 the other OF log
trying to escape the savage attacks OF
the featherea 'rlbe. The birds didn't
mind me. but kept dashlng their little
bills into the skunk's weil-punctured
hide. when the skunk started across
an open space to the cover OF nearby
drifwood his tormentors pounced upon
him and riddled the poor cats hide. -
