decrease in earnings of Sb,3Si.i3, and the
earnings did not meet expenses by nearly

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
A Sharp Advance I'm Wheat Follows
bad Foreign Crop Reports.


CHICAGO. Jan. 22.-wheat had an ad-
vance Of 1-Sc today. Shorts and for
eigners were the principal buyers. There
was a pcrcepuble increase in the commits
sion house trade 1t the last hour the
market eased off half cent on profit
taking. Liverpool was strong, 1q1 I'D.
higher. Paris was 2d2 1-4r higher. The
damage TO the Russian and French crops
was deplorable. Reports from India were
responsible for the foreign advance. The
worlds shipments were light, 4,720.000
bushels. Primary receipts were less than
half last years. Clearances were light.
$4,000 bushels There was a cash demand
here for wheat, but shippers report ele-
vator people not willing to sell. The sea-
board reported fifteen loads. Liverpool
reports less Argentine wheat offering.
The Government figures on corn, 2,OTS,-
600 600 bushels. were not as large as an
ticipated. but the only help the market
got from these was just at tie opening,
when prices were bulled 1-4c. That adj
vance was lost before the day was over
and tonight's close was a little under Sat
urday. The local stock increased $4,000
bushels The visible increased 100000
bushels. Liverpool was up lid. The ship
ping demand has been slow everywhere.
May oats were off to % 1-2 again to-
day with the feeling on futures weak.
The Government estimates the crop at
79i. OO0,0 600 bushels, which is somewhat
higher than the October figures, and which
is not much under the largest crop ever
raised. Speculation is quiet.
Provisions had oulge at the opening
on much lighter hog receipts than eX-
pected. Realizing sales and selling by
packers satisfied a moderate scattered de-
mand. and resulted in a loss of the early
improvement The market closed steady
at about the same as Saturday. The cash
demand was fairly good. The legitimate
situation seems as strong now as at any
time on the recent advance.

Described by Symptoms.

Hosts of people suffer from the
various malignant poisons in their
blood, which produce or result
from catarrh. Many other per
sons suffer from nervous diseases,
liver diseases, kidney diseases,
and skin diseases, as the result of
irritating crystal poisons in the
blood. A majority of such suf-
ferers do not have a definite un-
derstanding of the nature of their
affection. The following symp-
toms have been arranged by us
TO enable sufferers to understand
just what it is that ails them.
The proper course of those af-
fected is this: Read the symp-
toms carefully over; mark those
that apply to your ease, and bring
this with you TO Doctors of this
Institution.

per cent, and seven show losses Of s33,42s,
or 60 per cent, the net gain for the fifty
three lines being sS42,5il, or l0.6 per cent.
The net gain in gross earnings of sixty five
lines for the first week OF January was
$40. OBS or IL per cent. Compared with
the predicted falling of in earnings for the
first month of the year, this steady in
crease is highly satisfactory one. The
bears a month ago predicted long period
of declining prices. They based their be-
lief on the expectation of gradually smaller
railway earnings and continued tight
money. The reasons for their predictions
have q appeared, but the bears are still

will make an excellent showing. The gross

history of the company. The grain traffic
of the grangers has been and continues
relatively small, but the general merchan
