THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Decline I'm Wheat Felt in other
Quarters as Well.

CHICAGO. March ls.-There was re-
action of ~ cents in wheat today. Sta
tistical returns and cables were disap-
pointing to the bulls and the covering by
shorts on Friday and Saturday left the
market in rather poor condition to real
ize on. Considerable long wheat was liqui-
dated, and professional pit traders sold
freely. on the extreme low point, COM
mission houses bought literally and
checked the decline, rallying the market
4 cent.
Liverpool closed unchanged to sd lower
Paris was &c lower, Antwerp 5sc higher
Primary receipts were slightly larger than
last year The worlds shipments were
liberal There was a pause in cash de-
mand. No sales here and only nineteen
loads at the seaboard.
The corn market was duh and feature
less. The slight weakness was due to the
decline in wheat. Receiving houses and
pit traders sold. The bull interest and a
prominent floor trader was the support.
country acceptances were small, the cash
demand was slow. Local stocks Increased
for the week $4,000 bushels and the WISH
bic supply increased 1884, 900 bushels. The
weather forecast is for rain over the en-
tire corn belt. large increase in the
contract grade of receipts is making the
crowd more bearish.
The oat market was dull and without
feature. Local stocks increased for the
week, 600 bushels. The visible supply
increased 80, 600. Today's carlots were ia
with 265 for tomorrow.
Provisions were strong and closed at a
good advance notwithstanding the liberal
hog receipts and the influence of weaker
grain markets. Steady buying by local
packers throughout the day was a promi-
nent feature. The offerings were mostly
from longs, one Of the early bulls in this
campaign selling lard The cash trade

The expected sensational boom occurred
in the stock market yesterday, with
prices opening up a point or two all over
the active list. and making advances dur
ing the day ranging from a point to six
or eight points. The grangers. except St
Paul. the steel securities, the Pacifcs. the
fractions. the tobaccoS, and number OF
the specialties, all took part IN the boom,
what seemed to be almost frantic
public buying. helped along by pool mani
pulation. and for time hardly checked
by the tremendous selling TO take profits.
The market was not different from what
careful market people had looked for. The
steady advances last week with the eX-
element OF sharp spurts on Saturday and
the enthusiasm in the newspaper com
ment on the market on Sunday, have put
the public In the proper frame OF mind
to buy stocks wildly, though they have
not been willing to do anything much up
TO this time.
Some people are of the opinion that the
present week will see an end Of the boom

OF note IN this connection that there was
heavy selling Of stocks yesterday by inn
portant interests. and that Ifter the first
boom there was much irrsgularity and
some sharp recessions. However, II Is not
believed that the END OF the general up
ward movement has arrived. The reac-
tion VIII at most be a sharp setback pre-
paratory to a continuance OF the advance,

Hon. David Meekison is well known.
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty fifth Congress
by very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious APP
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to Dr.
Hartman as the result:
"'Ihave used several bottles of Peru
ma and feel greatly benefited thereby
from my catarrh of the head. l feel
encouraged to believe that if l use it a
short time longer will be able to fully
eradicate the disease of thirty years
standing. Yours truly,
David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
a slight cough, a cold in the head, or
trifiing arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage
artist. His voice must always be clear,

NEW FRCOF OF EVOLUTION.
Darvia's Theory Sustained by COM
pairing the Blood of Wen and Apes.

The latest proof of the correctness
of Darwin's assertion that there is
near relation between man and ape
is furnished by a discovery of the
correspondence between the blood of
man and the ape, reports a scientific
exchange.
Blood exposed to the air coagulates
forms a jelly-like mass. After a time
the coagulum contracts and expels a
perfectly clear fluid called serum.
Lately experiments with this natural
serum showed some queer results.
When the serum of rabbit was
mixed with the blood of an animal
not closely related to it, for instance
guinea pig, the blood corpuscles of
the guinea pig We're thereby dis
solved. But the serum of the rabbit
mixed with the blood of a closely re-
lated animal, hare, for instance, did
not affect the blood of the hare at
all.
The serum of the horse works no
change in the blood of the donkey,
but destroys (dissolves) the blood
corpuscles of the rabbit, lamb or
man. The dog, fox or wolf readily
permit exchange of blood, while the
blood corpuscles of the dog are dis
solved by cat serum. This, then,
seems to furnish a new and sure
means for establishing blood rela-
tionship between animals. Expert
ments with human serum showed
that it dissolves the blood corpuscles
of all vertebrates, also those of the
lower ape. But the experiments
with the higher apes gave different
results. Neither the blood corpus
cles of the ourang-outang nor those of
the gibbon were dissolved by human
serum, and human blood was carried
into the blood course of a chimpan-
zee without in the least affecting the
latter's condition.
These experiments serve to show
that the blood of man and that of
the higher ape must be looked upon
as identical. 1t is absolutely sure
that none of the tested serum of ami
NAL resembles the human blood as
closely as does the blood of those
three apes-the ourang-outang, chin
panzee and gibbon. This highly in
teresting scientific discovery fur
nishes new proof for the probability
of mans evolution from lower ami
mails. It throws some light on the
sorry experience had with transfu-
sion of animal blood in the blood of
suffering human beings. Some scien-
