CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, April @.-Sensational ad-

kets, a decrease Of over S.ooo,wv Dusneis IA ~
small worlds shipments caused the upturn
in wheat, which all the other markets fol-
lowked. Although Liverpool! opening ca,
advance, this market displayed a hating
tendency after the first rush or trading,
and throughout the session gave evidence
of heavy liquidation on hard spots. While
in the first half hour of the session Llv-
erpool had risen the equivalent OF 3Mc

luth &c. Chicago in the same time was only

close and the futures show a gain of 5ls to

market finally got started, and from
around 92c rapidly climbed to 93c. May,
which had started only 1c higher, at LIB.
suddenly jumped with one to two cents
between trades to 1.2O, the highest price
in several years.
The Atlantic port clearances, of wheat a
and -four for the day amounted to 6O0Oo0
bushels. The worlds shipments to Europe
last week amounted to 7,413,000 bushels,
against 9,O52 900 bushels the week before.
and 3s23,000 the corresponding week or
1897. Russia supplied 1,Sos GOO bushels OF IN the
ocean passage was reduced $4,000 bushels,
last week. The domestic visible supply
surprised the trade by showing decrease
of 324o,Ooo, against reduction H,t on + for tn the
same week last year of only 77S,OOO bushels.
Tire heaviest decreases were at Chicago,
Minneapolis. Duluth and New York. May

After the advance in July to SSc, the mar
ket became very feverish, selling off to
SIC, up to 93Hc, down to 92Ac, then up
to 92Ac. closing at 92lac. Five minutes after
the close 93Ac was paid on the curb for
July.
Corn was active and strong throughout
the session. Sales for export of about
one million bushels, an advance at Liver
pool of 1kc and of 2Ac at London were the
chief factors. July closed at net gain
of 1Nc.
Provisions were strong and active. War
news and heavy outside speculative buy
ing were the chief factors. The close was
near the top. July pork closed with a net
gain of 45c. lard 12lsc, and ribs 10c higher.
Scarcity of oats, advances abroad and
the strength of wheat and corn helped the
oats market early and contributed to an
advance of 17sc in May and 1Ac in July.

BEDoUIN THIEF TRACKERs
Each Tribe Has a Company Which
Shows Good Results

Another curious profession among the
Bedouin is that Of the thief trackers." Be-
ing without paddocks or stables, and their
animals always more or less at liberty, theft
of stock would appear to be an easy and
frequent matter. Each tribe, however, has
it's little company of CRACKERS" and it

stance in which a camel stolen from a camp
near Ismailia was, after weeks of labor,
successfully tracked to the Soudan, where
the beast was recaptured and summary
vengeance wreaked upon the robbers. Sc
lected for natural ability and trained from
boyhood to discriminate between each ami

highly developed that particular horses

HOW TO DIVIDE UP A FARM
Witty Judge Offers a Suggestion
Which Was Not Printed

Judge Ellison is an inveterate joker.
Some months ago, it is related, Colonel ].
Il. Rippey, the bustling secretary of the
state board of agriculture, sent out cir
cular asking for suggestions as to how to
divide a farm-how it should be arranged
so as to provide farmer with the various
necessaries of life. He received many re.
plies. Among them was this from Judge
Ellison:
"Take a 24O acre farm and divide it thus:
ITO furnish bread for family, 10 acres.
ITO furnish clothing for family, 80 acres.
ITO furnish whisky, 200 acres.
"P. SIN some cases 1t may be best to
give more to the last"
Strange to say, Secretary Rippey never
published the Ellison letter in any of his
excellent bulletins of agricultural infor-
mation.-Kansas City Journal.

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, April 25.-The market for
securities was sluggish and almost stag
nant today. Prices ruled below Saturdays
close, and while there was brief pause
at one time during the morning in the
downward course, due to strength shown
by one or two of the industrials, the sag
ging tendency of the market was practical
ly uninterrupted. The trading was narrow
and professional, and declines really rep
resented nothing more than a natural re-
action from Saturdays advance. The sup
ply OF stocks continued very limited, hold
ers apparently being content to hold their
property for higher prices. Neither is
there any very active demand for stocks
at the present level. The consequence is
that the movement of prices is very mar
row. There being no genuine demand for
stocks and no real pressure of liquidation,
prices naturally lose one day what was
gained the day before, or gain the next
day what they lose today. There was SELL
count, which may have represented liqui-
dation by timid foreign holders. There was
some speculative activity also, and quite
higher priced Industrial specialties. Other
wise the market was in the hands of the
room traders. The waiting attitude of
traders Is likely to continue until the oc-
tlon of the course or probable duration Of
the war with Spain. The future of the
stock market is also dependent largely on
the course of the money market. There

side, after week of cringing to the bear
element. Immediately secured the upper

was q time of extraordinary excitement in
the local wheat pit Millions of bushels
changed hands, and at times the ring was
IN state of wild confusion. The May op-
tion leaped to 1.15H. and July 95N, the lat
ter compared with 94H at the close Satur-
day. 1t was well along toward the noon
hour before the tremendous demand was
satisfied, and prices eased off a little from
the top. Besides Liverpool strength, local
pulls were aided by reports that Brazil
was short Of supplies and asking big adj
vances for her wheat. The prominence of
that country as a competitor of the United
states gave this news great significance.

National Caricatures

Practically no other people caricature
themselves in just the same way that the
English and American people do. French
men, indeed, picture great many kinds
of ridiculous Frenchmen and absurd Ger
mans in large variety, and so on. French
men not infrequently depict the Gallo cock
and give us representations of the IDEAL
lied France in female guise, as we also have
Columbia and Britannia. But Frenchmen
do not readily adopt our Johnny Crapaud

take kindly to our modernixed Gambrinus

Hammers Driven by Air

Pneumatic hammers, driven by COM
pressed air, are now generally used instead
of hand labor for chipping and cleaning
iron and steel castings and billets so as to
free them from any defects which would
injure the finished forms into which they
are to be rolled or drawn. This hammer
will do the work of three men. The same
principle has been applied in the ship yard
for caulkng, in which the tool can be
worked very fast, doing the work Of five
or six men.

EPIDEMIC IN THE SCHOOLS THE LIGHT WINE ISSUE ANOTHER BIG REALTY DEAL
\ DISEASE AKIN TO CHOLERA
INFANTUM.
Many Children Kept at Home by
butcs 1t to Malaria in the Air.

An epidemic of disease akin to the
cholera infantum is raging SO serious
ly throughout the city as to interfere
with the work in the public schools.
SO far it has not been found necessa-
ry to close any of the schools, but
there has been an unusual amount of
absenteeism.
The disease takes the form among
quite young children of cholera in
fantum of very severe type. Among
children little older the symptoms
are modified somewhat but still indi-
cate a disorder of the stomach and
bowels. The matter has been brought
to the attention of the school author
tiles from almost every school, by the
reports of truant officers and the
teachers. But while such investiga-
ton as was possible has been made
no satisfactory conclusion has been
reached as to the cause. 1t was at
first thought it was probably due to
the heavy rains of a few weeks ago eff
fecting the drinking water, but the
prevalence of the disease among all
classes and in all parts of the city
made this hypothesis untenable.
DR.. Herbert says it cannot he the
water For it has appeared i'm families
where artesian, distilled and filtered
waters were used, as we'll as among
those who used reservoir water, and
has attacked children at the breast
and those being brought up on COWS
milk. both fresh and condensed. He
attributes il TO n malaria in the at
mosphere. due to the continued south
winds which seemed to have carried
it to higher as well as lower attitudes
and held it there.
The epidemic is confined to no part
of the city. the best residence portions
suffering from it as much as the poor
est.
Among adults, the disease. if it is
from the same source, takes the form
of grippe, which prevails to consd-
cradle extent.
