Chicago. June 24.-Markcts on the Board of Trade were badly mixed today, where as yesterday everything had an upward tendency, today each pit was at variance with the others. Manipulation seemed to be to blame for the irregularlty of action and the nervousness of traders. Every pit had quick turns, now strong now weak The gossip that one elevator had July wheat in control: that the Gates crowd had July corn cornered; that July oats were beirg strongly advanced by manipulation and thet the packing house interests were artiic'ally becoming pro- visions, made the outsiders fight shy of the pits and left most business to the pro- fefsionals. After strained fluctuations, July wheat closed a shade higher; July com, Ac higher; September corn, Ac up; and July oats, 11sc hister. Provisions closed Dc lower to 1715c higher.

BULL SUPPORT HELPED

New York June 24.-The cotton market opened firm with prices points higher and continued to work steadily upward during the next half hour on eager de- mand from shorts and foreign buying, added to which was some bull support and commission house buying The dorni- rating influence on tfe opening was the cable news, which showed a firm market in Liverpool. Reports of King Edward 8 illness and that the coronation had been indefinitely postponed occasicned some uneasiness among the bulls, but later were overtopped in roint of influence by the dry weather news from Texas and the increased demand for spot cotton in rearly all quarters. There was a partial reaction later in the morning under sell ing for profits by the more tiunid longs. in part due to a further reaction from top prices in tho Liverpool market and in part to weakness in the stock market But tho weekly government crop weather report which came out at midday once more turned the scale in the bulls favor, and for the rest of the session the ten dency was steadily upwerd, wa prices closing at about the top. Shorts were I eryous buyers throughout the last hour, with prominent Greek spot cotton interests and the Wall street contingent apparently the leading bidders. The south wss O moderate buyer on the late ad- vance, and Europe, too, seemed to be ab- sorbing fall month offerings.
 The market was finally steady, net to Ii points higher. The total sales were es- timated at 125, 900 bales.

KEPT HER CHILDREN. The Right Food Brought Them Back tl
 Health-

Food purchased from curiosity saved the lives of two children in family in Ulysses, Wis.
 The mother says We had bought a package of Grape Nuts, attracted by it's pleasant, suggestive name, and found it a pleasant food. As my five months old baby liked it, I fed it 10 her and found it as satisfactory as - Baby Food, which I had been using and paying soc. for a much smaller package.
 Shortly after this three of the chil- dren came down with the whooping cough, my oldest one was taken with pneumonia, and the little three year old strained her stomach in some man ner, so that she vomited blood, and could not retain anything on her stom- each. She continuously cried with hun ger. and it was terrible to see her grow weaker and weaker, until she did not have strength to keep her eyes open. was so overworked nursing all of them night and day that I finally woke up to the fact that a change must he wrought and that at once
 I shall always believe that divine in- spiration whispered Grape Nuts At first I did not give the solid part: I poured boiling water on it and let it stand until the water had drawn out some of the strength, added some rich, sweet cream, and gave the little one few spoonfuls at time. She kept it down and it nourished her. so that after a while could feed her the Grape Nuts themselves until she got strong. and she is today as rugged as I could wish Meanwhile. the oldest girl was unable to turn her head or swallow solid food. and for weeks her strength was kept up by Grape-Nuts softened in cream given spoonful at time, until she got strong enough to take other food They are both we'll and strong now, and feel that I owe Grape Nuts for two of my hearty. healthy children" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek.

WEARING OUT
 THE OPPOSITION
Warm Scenes in the Debate of the
 German Tariff Bill.

Berlin, December 4.-With the excep- tion of two hours recess for supper the reIchstag was in continuous session from 10 o'clock this morning until II: :3O tonight. this being the longest session In the history of the reichstag. Most of the time was spent wearily in lis tening to reports of the tariff commits sion, but much rough talk was in- dulged in tonight. The members called each other "scoundrels," dogs" etc, the long hours having irritated their tempers.
 The house, on the motion of the presi- dent, forbade the socialist, Wurm, to speak, because the latter insisted on talking on his strong points. water and gas. instead of conflning his remarks to the paragraph of the bill concerning minerals and raw materials which was under discussion.
 The majority is determined to wear out the obstructionists by long sessions, the special motive for holding a session tonight being to prevent the socialist members from speaking at twenty seven mass meetings in Berlin and sub urbs held for the purpose of expressing indignation at the method of rushing through the tariff. The members of the majority and the newspapers show much apprehension regarding the poli- tical capital that the socialists are making out of the wrangles in the reichstag. The mass meetings tonight were attended by many thousands of persons and were generally of an or derly character.

CONTINUED RUMORS'
 OF STRIKE SETTLEMENT
A Belief That it Will Come Before
 Hearings are Ended.

Scranton, Pa, December At to- days session of the anthracite strike commission representatives of the mine workers continued to call as witnesses mostly practical miners who told their story of the conditions as they exist in the Hazleton or middle coal fields The miners tried to. show by these witnesses that the Coxe and other companies had violated the agreement entered into by both sides when the commission was appointed that the strikers should re- turn to work and be given their old places back where they had not al- ready been filed.
 Some of the witnesses called testi- fled that they were not given back their old places and maintained that men prominent in the union in the various localities during the strike were dis criminated against. The commission has decided to invite the mine insDec-
Arizona republican., 1902-12-05

tors to appear before them because the miners assert that the workmen fear to inform the mine inspectors of dan gerous CT unhealthy places in the mines because the inspectors are usually ac- companied by some representative of the company who may cause the mans dismissal. This is a new point before the commission.
 Rumors of possible negotiations look ing to a settlement outside the comnlis- sion continue to be heard. Lawyers ad- init that they have heard such rumors but say they know nothing about possible settlement. Whatever is done will be first decided upon in New York where those in authority to act are To- cated. Several attorneys among them w. w. Ross of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna x Western company, have re- turned to the metropolis. Whether or not it is in connection with peace nego- uations cannot be learned here. The opinion still prevails here and rather stron9eiy, too, that the operators and the miners will agree on most points before the commission concludes it's hearings.

T0 STOP GAPS
 IN THE FRONTIERS
Through Which Immigrants Are Cpm-
 ing Without Molestation.

Washington, December f. - Several commissioners of immigration who have been in conference here with Com missioner General Sargent primarily with view of securing a more uniform interpret tioa and enforcement of the immigration laws at the larger ports or the country, concluded their work to- day. It is understood that the depart ment has specific information as io several points on both the Canadian and Mexican frontier where immigrants have been crossing into the United States quite unmolested, and arrange ments are perfecting under which these runaways will be closed and a more rigid inspection of the frontiers put into operation.
 The immigration bill now pending in the senate was also discussed and sev- cral suggestions, bearing principally on the administration features of the measure, will be made to the immigra- ton commission which meets next Mon day morning. It is understood that these suggestions will not change in any way the general features of the pending bill.

ders it necessary that there should be better understanding of the subject than now exists. The department is securing information as to the quantity of water used, where it is used, how much water is required in the matter of crops, how it can be distributed with the least loss, and applied to the best advantage. Much has been done to educate farmers and ditch managers as to the direction in which improve ment in the method of practice must come. They have made plans, have shown the need of better work in con struCting and maintaining canals, and have shown that the loss of water through leakage in transit is far greater than is generally supposed. The large problems which the complete use of western rivers is destined to create and the measure of public control which recent legislation renders inevit- able, give added interest to the depart ments studies of the legal and eco- homie phases of irrigation.
 Through the courtesy of government officials in Egypt the representative of the department was enabled to become fully acquainted with the admnistra- tion of laws governing the use of the Mic. Allowing for differences in condi- tions, the lesson of one of the oldest irrigated countries in the world can not fail to be of interest and value to one of the youngest. A number of the arid states cooperate with the depart ment in these studies of sociological and legal problems.
 An investigation was begun during the year as to the possibility of re- claiming soils in the arid regions in jured by seepage water and the accu-

Senator Beveridge had read resolutions adopted by the delegates u the Oklahoma Eon-partisan convention favOring the admission of Oklahoma and Indian territory as one state and opposing the house omnibus statehood bill. The senate then went into cXecu-

session and several resolutions bearing on the subject of infection were adopt ed. One of these, offered by Dr. A. F. Reynolds of Chicago, urged the differ ent governments to study in their re- spective territories the geographical distribution of the mosquito in order that it may have practical application in subsequent conventions. A resolu- ton offered by Dr. Guiteras of Cuba IS of broader scope, and ;n a measure makes the statement that the insect is one factor in the communication uI disease.
 Regarding the parasite popularly known as the hook worm, Dr. Wardell Stile of the marine hospital service made the interesting statement that Co it was responsible the condition of the so-called "poor whites" in the sand dis tricts of the south. The presence of the hook worm, he said, was the cause of their poor physical and mental state. the parasite in the human system pro- ducing a condition of extreme anemia similar in its symptoms to a severe at tack of malaria. He said that any generation of people placed under like conditions must deteriorate. The con- dition of the children in the factories of the south of which so much had been said of late, Dr. Stile added, was not due so much to work but the effect produced on the system by the noxious hook worm. Its eradication, he de- clared. was the only solution In the matter bringing about better conditions among these people.
