THE ROYAL MONTH AND THE
ROYAL DISEASE.

Sudden changes OF weather are espsc-
tally trying, and probably to none more
so than to the scrofulous and consump-
tive. The progress OF scroiula during a
normal October is commonly great. We
never think of scrofnla-its punches,
eutaneous eruptions, and wasting OF the
bodily substance-without thinking Of
the great good many sufferers from 1t
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical aud permsnent cures Of
this one dissass are enough to make It
the most famous medicine in the world.
There IS probably not a city or town
where Hoods S~arsaparilla has not proved
its merit 10 more homes than one, In
arrestiDg ADD completely graduating
scrofula, which is almost as serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.

TRADE in GRAINS DULL
PRICES HOLD STEADY, WHEAT
SHOWING a SMALL GAIN.
Corn Also Shade Up and Oats Make
Good Fractional Advance-PrO-
visions Somewhat Higher.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26-Trading on the Board
of Trade to-day was extremely dull. but
wheat held about steady. May closing a
shade higher, corn was also up a fraction
and oats were sake higher Provisions
closed 71zq10c to 27I5c higher.
The holiday dullness. which was mani
tested in all the pits, was especially no.
ticeable in wheat. and trading at times was
almost at standstil, but in spite of the
extreme inactivity prices were steady. Ow-
ing to there being no cables, the opening
were more encouraging. May sold up to 1850
lower at 77Q77Bc. A strong market at st.
Louis and fair export demand helped to
maintain firm tone, although crop jour
mails were bearish and Argentine advices
were more encouraging. May sold up to 7S2s9
771ec. There was a little decline toward
the close and final figures were a shade
higher at TIC. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal TO 56s 600 bu. Primary re-
ceipts were 1,2SS.0OO bu, against 62O. 600 bu
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of $50 cars, which, with local
receipts Cor three days. of 143 cars. three
of contract grade, made a total of 673 cars
against Al cars last week and 513 a year
ago.
The only feature in the corn trade was
an ADVANCE OF over &c In the december Op-
ton. caused by the anxiety of some be-
lated shorts to get to cover, but as soon
as their wants were supplied the market
dropped back to about it's former position.
The weather was good for the movement
and receipts were liberal, but notwithstand-
ing these bearish influences. the market had
a firm undertone and May closed shade
higher at 412sc, after selling between 43lse
and 4311@435sc. Receipts were 491 cars, six
Of contract grade.
Oats ruled firm throughout the day. To-
ward the end of the session considerable
activity shown and local operators
seemed disposed to bull the market, which,
under the circumstances, was an easy mat
ter, trade being light and offerings small
The selling was mainly by pit scalpers,
and commission houses were the best buy
ers. The close was steady at the higher
level, May 3sQzc higher at 34c, after rang
ing between 3314q34isc. Receipts were 80
cars.
Provisions were strong the entire day.
due mostly to the smaller receipts of hogs
and higher prices at the yards although
a fair demand from brokers and covering
by shorts also helped in maintaining the
better tone. Receipts at the principal West
ern points showed a marked decrease and
the shipment of meats was liberal. The
close was strong. with May pork up 271zc
at $l6.4714, and lard and ribs each 71sGl0c
higher at s95OG9. .521a and $S.671k respectfully.

bined receipts Of cattle for five days show a de-
crease OF nearly goo compared with the same time

spending time year ago. The receipts to-day
were very fair average for Friday and show
an increase Of fully 200 over week ago. but
little no change compared with year ago.
Some dealers reported the quality better than
the average recently. and there was almost a
complete variety represented. The short sup
ply heretofore this week has had good effect
on the demand and the market to-day opened
with active competition for all fat cattle. and
the trading from the start active at strong
TO higher prices. AS usual under the influence
OF liberal competition prices a little irregu-
lar and, therefore. the opinion of statesmen diff
fered. 1t generally conceded however. that
sales In all cases were strong compared with last
Wednesday, while in not few instances they
were considered 10Q15c higher, and the general
market anywhere from 25c to SOC higher
than the low prices prevailing a week ago. The
good fat steers have shown more improvement
than butcher cattle. There also a steady
demand for the good feeders and strong prices
were realized. The market seemed to be in
quite healthy condition. but. OF course, nobody
knows what may develop in the near future.
