CHICAGO MARKETS.



Chicago, April 24-Wheat started rather
firm, but offerings were freer than could
be absorbed at the opening prices and the
tendency became downward. The weak
ness did not last long, however, and
reaction set in that put sellers to rout and
sent prices up with considerable energy.
The rainfall was reported insufficient in
the dry belt and crop reports were gen
orally unfavorable especially so from
Michigan.
The announcement of a decrease or L.
1923 900 bushels in the visible supply, in
stead of only about 100000 bushels, as had
been expected, furnished the bulls with
plenty of ammunition. There was also a
good export demand. May opened shade
lower at 721sd72Ac and closed with gain
of 3aM7sc. There was better demand Tor
MAY than for July and the discount was
narrowed to &c, July closing at 1880
74c.
Corn was strengthened by a decrease
in the visible supply of 100000 bushels
and the probable opening of lake naviga-
ton tomorrow. Shorts covered freely.
Country offerings We're light. May corn
closed &c higher.
Oats fell with wheat. Shippers bought
heavily against cash sales. Country longs
liqudated freely, but offerings were
quickly absorbed and the Improvement
was maintained. The visible decreased
$1,000 bushels May opened shade high
or at 26ssd261hc, and closed at 2612G265sc.
Heavy hog receipts and lower prices at
the wards weakened provisions. Packers

LAND TO Be RECLAIMED
By the State Arid Land Com
missioners.
IN CLARKS FORK VALLEY
A 4O-Mile Irrigation Canal to Reclaim
the Billings Bench-The Enterprise
in the Gallatin Valley En-
tirely Successful.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Billings, April 22.--W. S. Fortiner, chief
engineer of the state arid land commits
sion, was in Billings Friday en- route to
Bridger, where a tract of land is to be
segregated from the public domain to be
reclaimed. The land is in the Clarkes
Fork valley, and is to be taken UP by
a colony, which work out on the ditch
portion of the price they will have to pay
for the land.
Mr.. Fortiner is authority for the state
ment that the Manhattan Mailing COM
pany will furnish the funds to construct
the 4o-mile irrigation canal to reclaim the
Billings bench. The news that this COM
pany will take an interest in this section
of Montana is highly satisfactory to Bill
lings people. Their enterprise in the Gal
| latin valley has been entirely successful,
and has been of great benefit. and it is
thought that a great investment awaits
them here. The Billings ditch will reclaim
200 acres of frst-class farming land,
which only needs water to make it fertile.
The telephone poles for the Billings &
Missoula Telephone company are being
set, and will be ready for the wire early
in May. The operations of the company
have been delayed by the unusually late
spring. AS most of the sheep patrons of
| this city live north of the Musselshell, the
| telephone will be a great convenience to
| them during the shearng season.
| Most of the mercantile houses of this
| city have travelling representatives going
out among the ranchers in Northern Wy
oming and to the Musselshell and Judith
| basin, and the general report is that bust
ness is better than usual. One representa-
| tive reports the sale of $4,000 worth Of
goods in one trip in Wyoming, although
| he Travelled through snow six weeks in
| his trip.
The city marshal is after those of our
citizens who have neglected to make the
usual spring cleaning of back yards and
alleys, and has mailed notices to all such
| that a failure to clean up will subject
| them to prosecution under the provisions
| of the city ordinance to that effect. The
notice is a very timely one and Il comp-
ance with it will save much danger of dis
ease.
The postal department has ordered a
change in the railway postal service by
which the clerks on Nos. and of the
Northern Pacific, who have been stopping
at Miles, will make Billings their stopping
place The run will now be from Billings
to Helena and from Billings to James

About one month ago my child, which is
fifteen months old, had an attack of diar-
rhoea accompanied by vomiting. | gave it
such remedies as are usually given in such
cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for
a physician and it was under his care for a
week. At this time the child has been sick
for about ten days and was having about
twenty-five operations of his bowels every
twelve hours, and we were convinced that
unless it soon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and
| decided to try it. | soon noticed a change
for the better; by its continued use a cong
plete cure was brought about and it is non
perfectly healthy.-C. L. BoGGs, Stump
