In iron circles the advance in the
price of iron in England of about IS.
is regarded as significant and is an
indication that the stock of iron
abroad is at low point. This ad-
vance brings the foreign markets al
most to parity with the markets in
this country. If the price advances
three or four shillings more abroad,
1t would mean that the foreign trade
would begin to take iron in good
quantities from this side. According
to the best opinions 1t looks as though
there is no danger of stocks of iron
accommodating to any extent in this
country during the current year.

Two good sized audiences braved the
inclement weather yesterday to take
advantage of the exceptional oppor-
tunity to witness high class dramatic
productions at popular prices at the
Grand Opera House. The Cameron
Clemens company has given general
satisfaction, and the playing of the
Glee Lady Orchestra has been a very
pleasing feature. The bill last night
was "Raglans Way" a very strong
and realistic melodrama. The week S
engagement of the company will close
with matinee and night performances
to-day, for which two of the strongest
plays in the repertoire of the company
have been reserved.

FOX WELL PEOPLE,
An Easy Way to Keen Well

II is easy to keep well If we would only
observe each day few simple rules of
health.
The all important thing is to keep the
stomach right and to do this il is not
necessary to diet or to follow a set rult or
bill Of fare. Such pampering simply makes
a capricious appetite and a feeling that
certain favorite articles of food must be
avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good ad-
vice on this subject. be says: Il am sixty
eight years old and have never had seri-
Gus Illness, and at the same time my life
has been largely an indoor one, but
early discovered that the way to keep
healthy was to keep a healthy stomach,
not by eating bran crackers or dieting Of
any sort; on the contrary l always eat
what my appetite Graves, but for the past
eight years | have made it a daily pTac-
tice to take one or two Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal and / at
tribute my robust health for man Of
my age to the regular daily use of Stuart's
Tablets
MY physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and were not a secret patent
medicine. but contained only the natural
digestives, peptones and diastase and after
using them a few weeks | have never
ceased to thank him for his advice.
Il honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and ailing, and
preserves health to the well and strong.
Men and women past fifty years Of age
need a safe digestive after meals to en-
sure a perfect digestion and to ward off
disease, and the safest, best known, and
most widely used is Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets.
They are found in every well regulated
household from Maine to California, and in
Great Britain and Australia are rapidly
pushing their way into popular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. full sized packages at so cents,
and for a weak stomach a 5O-cent package
will often do $50 worth of good.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
BuIIish Influence Apparent in Wheat
Corn. and Oats.


CHICAGO. May Wheat rose under
the influence Of somewhat higher Liver
pool cables and apprehension over the
continued dry weather in the Northwest.
The local sentiment was more bu.lish.
The outside trade continues very light.
Paris advices were weak. Owing 10 tie
holiday the statistical returns were con-
fused. There was fair cash business
here The seaboard reports 80 loads. TIE
strongest feature was the advance in May
price in the different markets throughout
the country.
The corn deliveries we're about a million.
and the cash grain was taken in by be long
interests. The feature of the speculative
trade today was selling Of July corn Uy
those who are supposed TO be the May
holders. There was a narrowing up Of the
May-JuIy difference, only 1-Sc at the
close. Gables were barely steady. Clear
anees for the two days a little over a mil
lion. The cash demand here has been fiat,
but the seaboaTd claims 10 loads for eN-
port.
There was a sharp enough shipping de-
mand for oats to advance the May 5-SH
34e, and to narrow the May discount from
Use to less than 5-Sc. Cash sales here
were at least 800. coo bushels and a e Cd
deal more could have been sold. Deliv-
cries were about $50 900 bushels Tonisht's
close is 5-Sd5-Sc over Mondays, with the
May the strongest.
The sharp decline in the hog market OF
two days past caused a very weak open
ing In provisions, prices showing severe
decline from Monday. The early selling
was by commission houses with packers
and shorts buying. There was further liqui-
dation by holders during the day. Demand
for ribs from packers closed the market
steady a little above inside prices The
cash trade was fair.
