GEO. PHILLIPS CLOSED OUT.
Chicago PIunger Goes Clean Broke
on May Rye.

on way rye.
Chicago, Jan. IA notice was
posted at the opening of the Board of
Trade to-day calling for the closing of
all open deals with George II. Phillips,
the former corn king" A heavy call
for extra margins is said to have been
the cause of the posting of the notice.
The call was made yesterday after
noon, and Phillips and his staff worked
all night over the firms books. The
trouble is said to have been due to a
Sls cents break in rye yesterday. Phil
lips is credited with holding a line of
100000 bushels of this cereal, mostly
in May options. The break yesterday
was caused by sale of only $4,000
bushels.
Phillips opened negotiations with
elevator men before the opening of the
Board in an endeavor to dispose of his
rye outside the pit. The negotiations
fell through and May rye, which closed
yesterday at 66A cents, opened with
sales from 81 to 60 cents. The whole
Phillips line was thrown into the mar
ket. Brokers acting for Armour & Co,
however, bought nearly all of it, and
the market in consequence rallied
sharply to 65 cents.
The effect of the notice posted by
Secretary Stone was instantaneous, the
whole list opening off sharply. Wheat
opened l to 11ac lower; corn u to 1c
down and oats nearly lie lower. Mr.
Hurlbert, Phillips manager said that
it was the suddenness of the call for
the extra 10 per cent. margins which
had embarrassed Mr.. Phillips. He
stated that Phillips had traded but
little on his own account, the grain
for the most part belonging TO custom
erS.
Later, Jacob Ringer, attorney for Mr.
Phillips, gave out a statement saying
that his client had been practically
wiped off the financial slate. He is
broke" said Mr.. Ringer. Men whom
he worsted in former deals went after
him and they got him."
Mr.. Phillips gave out statement as
follows:
The amount involved in my trouble
of to-day is about 100000. My GUS
toners had their trades well margined,
and if the trades closed out to-day
bring a fair price 1 can meet all my
obligations. 1 was long about 1900
900 rye. 100000 wheat and 800, 900 corn
and oats. Saturday member of the
board interested in breaking the rye
market sent notices calling for an
extra margin of 10 per cent ON rye.
This naturally caused selling orders
Monday, and representative of the
member mentioned, finding the mar
ket without orders, forced it down 3
cents. This was done in a moment
and the news, flashed all over the
country, caused CONSERVATION among
holders of rye contracts, many of
whom sold on a weak market. A de-
cline of L cent in wheat, coupled with
rumors rejecting on my strength in
unusually heavy calls for margin, fol-
lowed. / was for the moment not pre-
pared, and the only alternative left
was to close out. l have no excuses
to make and no complaints

an unIailing Speclf1c in all cases of
dyspepsia and disordered digestion.
Almost everybodys digestion is dis
ordered more OF less, and the COM
moneSt thing they do for it is to take
some one of the many so-called blood
purifiers, which in many cases are
merely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. If the organs are in
clogged condition, they need only a
little help and they will right them
selves. Cathartics irritate the sensi-
tive Innings of the stomach and bow
els and often do more harm than good.
Purging. is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food III con-
dition to be readily digested and as
simulated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate
the secretion and excretion of the di-
gestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and men,
branes. They put the whole digestive
system in condition to do it's work.
When that is done you need take no
more tablets, unless you eat what
does not agree with you. Then take
one or two tablets-give them needed
help and you will have no trouble.
It's common sense medicine and a
cure every time. Not only cure the
disease but cure the cause. Goes about
it in a perfectly sensible and scientific
way.
We have testimonials enough to fill
a book, but we don't publish many OF
them. However
Mrs. e. NJ. Faith of Byrds Creek,
Wis, says: Il have taken all the
tablets 1 got of you and they have
done their work well in my case, for
I feel like a different person alto
gether. / don't doubt if 1 had not
got them I should have been at rest
by this time"
H. E. Willard, Onslow, Ia, says:
Mr.. White of Canton, was telling me
of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him
of dyspepsia from which he had suf
fered for eight years. AS I am suf-
ferer myself I wish you to send me a
package by return mall"
Phil Brooks, Detroit, Mich, says:
Your dyspepsia cure has worked Won
ders in my case. I suffered for years
from dyspepsia but am now entirely
cured and enjoy life as I never have
before. / gladly recommend them"
1t will cost SOC to find out just how
much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
help you. Try thenl-that's the best
way to decide.
All druggists sell them. A little book
on stomach diseases will be mailed
free by addressing f. A. Stuart Com
