q" '''h
CATTDE-There were no cattle here to
make a market-that is nothing of any
consequence. 1t was duller than usual, even
for a Saturday. No one expected any de-
mand for stuff and shippers were evidently
afraid to ship in anything.
The cattle market this week has been in
the condition usual just previous to the
holidays. Packers wants have been small
and for the most part limited to such grades
as would make Christmas beef. AS a re-
suit the market has been slow and dull on
everything but just the few cattle that
buyers happened to want. AS IS usually the
case under such conditions the market has
been very u~neVcn-one bunch of cattle for
which some buyer had use would sell well
while another bunch that did not seem to
find favor in the eyes of buyers would sell
way down. The COW market especially. was
very uneven, way UP one day and way
down the next.
Stockers and feeders were in good de-
mand all the week and fleshy feeders of
good weight sold freely at very strong
prices. 1t is noted that the demand for
thin cattle is nor what operators on the
market anticipated. The only. explanation
given is that the dry fall weather dried up
the cornstalks so that the fodder broke off
and was blown away by the wind. Rep
resentatiVe sales:

BEEF STEERS.


HOGS-The week closed with a liberal run
of hogs though of the cars reported In
twenty were consigned direct to the pack
ers from other markets. The market was
active at an advance of about 2Ec and
practically everything in sight was disposed
of In a short time after the market opened.
1t was really a S4.05 market as against n
81. 0OUi O2K market yesterday.
The pig market Halted out badly this
morning-some buyers would not bid on
them at all and others were Offering only
So. 25. The fact that one of the packers
had in Il string of very good pigs from
Kansas City which cost only $3.50 may have
had something to do with the condition OF
the market here, as buyers seemed to feel
tina they have been paying too much
money for that kind of stuff.
The hog market has been in pretty good
shape all this week and prices have not
shown much change, as will be noted from
the table of average prices. on Monday it
was a shade easier and II big &c lower on
Tuesday. From that day until the close of
the week the tendency was steadily up
ward. The demand was good all the week
and though the receipts were liberal, pack
ers shipped in a good many from other
market points to piece out the supply.

LITTLE INCENTIVE TO TRADE IN WHEAT
Outside Exchanges Closed and No

CHICAGO, Dec, 23.-The holiday dullness
was upon the market today. May wheaG
closed isc under yesterday; May corn isC
down and May oats sc depressed. Pro-
visions closed easy at 5a7l2c lower.
The record of the wheat market here
today could be blotted out without ma
terially affecting commercial history.
With outside exchanges closed and no
Liverpool cables there was little incentive
to trade, The small pit crowd amused
itself by kicking about a foot ball most
of the time, Statistics were incomplete.
There was u trinlng bit of foreign buying,
but with New York not open the cash bus
mess was practically shut off. May wheat
opened and closed at 69l2Q695sc, sc under
yesterday. Local receipts were 100 cars, 50
of contract grade.
Corn barely held its own. Country offer
ings were small. Business was inconsc-
1sc down, at S2;sc. Local receipts were 27l
cars.
Oats were at a %standstill, with barely
sc fluctuation. Receipts here were PA
cars. May closed Isc depressed from yes
terday, at 237sc.
Provisions were easy, but very quiet. A
bit of selling of May lard caused some
weakness. May pork closed 7lRc under yes
terday, at $lO,32i9; May lard &c lower, at
$5.61l3a5.7O, and May ribs 5q7i2c under, at

THE VALUE OF EXERCISE
HOW CONSERVATIVE PATIENTS
ARE CURED.
Second Point i'm DR.. Walther's Method
for Fighting the Dread Disease and
Winning the Battle.

Following the remarks upon Feed
ing" published yesterday, The Star
gives the views of DR.. Walther upon
the necessity of proper exercise and
rest, which should be carried out by
the consumptive patient. The neces-
sity of the mind being freed from all
excitement is specially dwelt upon.
The results as stated are startling and
are vOuChed for as true by James Ar
| thur Gibson, who has undergone the
cure with success. Mr.. Gibson writes
as follows:
Doctors at home little realize that
this is such an important matter. Ger
tainly there is nothing so harmful to
a consumptive patient as over-exertion
in any form, mental or bodily. Even
| too great intentnesS in reading a nov
ell or, let us say, the excitement and
engrossedness of listening to a concert,
are injurious. DIR. Walther gives great
attention to this matter of regulating
the amount of eXertion, for he says
that more Consumptives kill themselves
by doing too much than in any other
way. Each patient has to take his
temperature, by the rectum, four
times a day and note it on a chart.
The doctor visits him three times a day
and can tell at a glance from the tenn
perature chart whether the patient is
doing as he ought. and instructs him
accordingly; whether he is to be in bed
or to lie on his couch, to sit outside, or
to go a long or a short walk. When
there is fever the patient is required to
be in bed until such time as the tenn
perature becomes normal. In old stan
ding and obstinate cases this is some
times for months. When in bed the
| patient is expected to eat quite as
| much as when going about. Walking
| is generally uphill, and always at a
snail's pace, so that the lungs are ex-
ercised without being eXerted, and are
thus strengthened and healed. These
walks are increased in length as the
| patient grows stronger, until by the
! time he is quite cured he is allowed to
walk long distances, say ten miles,
and is so thoroughly hardened and
confirmed in health that he is able to
| return home to at once resume work
| When cured, the erstwhile patient is
! sent back to this country as readily in
mid-winter as in midsummer Winter
| in fact is the best time for consump-
| tives under the Nordrach treatment, as
! then they eat more and gain weight
more rapidly. Ten hours sleep every
night for each patient; to bed at
and up at o'clock. Though one may
not be sleeping all the time, one is
resting. The doctor is very much dis
| pleased when any one disregards his
! instructions on these matters. Indeed
| the patient soon finds out for himself
| that the laws laid down are for his own
| good. Over-eXertion to the length of
| fatigue results in return of cough OF
fever, or tells tale in some other I'M
pleasant way"

AN ISLAND KING.
George Ross of Keeling Islands Re-
Ceived i'm England.

George Clunes Ross, king of Keeling
Islands who passed through Honolu-
In few weeks ago, has lately been of
1icially received by the British govern
ment, Duchess de Belimere, writing
in the Chicago Record, says
1T might be thought perhaps that
Monaco held the record among prlnci-
palites for dminutive size. Not at ALL
England has just been welcoming the
full hedged king of a much smaller
kingdom, at least as far as population
is concerned. His majesty, George
Clunies Ross, rules over the kingdom
of Keeling Cocos, inhabited by 900
faithful subjects. There are eighteen
islands in his kingdom, ranging in size
from the area of a billiard table to
that of kitchen garden. His majesty
has just been received by Mr.. Cham
berlain as representative of her ma
jesty's government. 1t is said that
his majesty has discussed with Mr.
Chamberlain the fertilization and de-
Tense of the kingdom of Keeling Cocos,
so one may assume that he will soon
have an army, artillery, arsenals, war
budgets and the rest. He is getting on.
The regency, by the way, is being ex-
ercised in his absence by his wife, and
the actual ruler will not return before
having visited the capitals of a few Of
the continental states"
