The Bears Have Apparently Ceased
Pounding the Market for
the Present. :
Some Disposition to Cover Short
Lines and Little New
Buying.
Bradstreet's Figures Show a De
crease of 2,A47 900 Blu. in
the Visible.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. March II.
Wheat st'adied this morning, held firm on
fractionally higher range and the decline that
had been on for over a week was checked for
the time at least. Scaping trades made up the
bulk of tile early business, with an occasional
short buying in good-sized line to cover. There
was not much disposition to pound the market
further, and selling mich lighter in all the
pits. The government report was not really
much different from what had been genrally ex-
pected. The government statstician makes the
amount of wheat remaining In farmers hands
on March / to have been about 164 100000 bu.
or 245 per cent Of lost years crop, as com
pared With 49, per cent Of the crop of 1901
on hand March l. 1902. and 4.5 per cent of the
crop of 1900 on hand March I. 1901.
The corn in farmers hands is estimated at
about / .050, 6oO. 600 bu 41.6 per cent of last
of 1901 hand March l, 1902. and 1868 per
cent of the crop of 1900 on hand March l,
1901.
The market began showing strength after an
hour and May sold up to 74Ac, from the
opening at 1880. Liverpool was hesitant at
first, bat closed I'd higher. Broomhal sent an
estimate of the Argentine shipments for this
week. putting the figure at about 1,2O00O0 bu.
But Broon,lals estimates for the past three
weeks have been low. and Argentine has shipped
more than he expected. hence the trade was
inclined to take this last estimate cautiously.

feet. Moderate temperatures were reported all

II Spotted RhInoceros Horn Falls, TT!
Tigers Blood and Then
MaIoon.
st, uis-Globe Democrat.

At any Chinese drug store you can
buy for Is cents an assortment of dried
herbs, insects and other weird things
composing a prescription that, it is
stated will cure the ailments OF ordi-
nary people, but when it comes to the
sickness of a wealthy Chinaman, then
there are drugs which are as high in price
as their reputed medicinal virtues.
First In the list Of these sovereign rem
edies is the powder made from a spotted
rhinoceros horn. An ordinary rhinoceros
horn is said to be less efficacious; the
spotted variety is wonderful cure for
intestinal disorderes: These sorns,
which it Is satisfactory to learn, come
from some of the rivers Of the Philip
pines, bring as high as $50 each in the
Singapore Chinese drug market. In the
old Japanese phar1nacopaeia they were
catalogued as unicorn horn, at least
that is what their uniforms" horn Is
supposed to have been.
Next to the spotted rhinoceros come the
three tiger remedies-the eyeball, the
liver and the blood. AS may be mag
ined. tiger eyeball can only be prescribed
for the exceedingly wealthy, the Chinese
Astors. Morgans and Vanderbilts: but
it Is firmly believed there is no disease
it will not cure. The tiger liver wher
dried and reduced to a powder, is worth
its weight In gold all over the Orient
Tiger blood, when evaporated to a sedi-
ment, at ternperture of 10 degrees, anc
taken in the form of a powder. is believed
by all Asiatics to be the best tonic
known, and will make a fine warrior ou
of the most chicken hearted.
In desperate cases, when neither spotted
rhinoceros horn nor tiger eyeball affords
relief, the Chineses physicians prescribe
what is known as a majoon. This Il
a compound Of ground pearls and othel
precious stones, which it is held tina
nothing but the malign influence Of some
powerful devil can overcome.
Next in price and virtue to the fore
going remedies are the various oils ant
fats obtained from serpents. The NOR,
| deadly the serpent, the more potent, ap
parently, are it's medicinal qualities. TIL,
| fat from the tail Of a cobra, applied ex
| ternally, is highly priced in eastern Asia
as a cure for chronic rheumatism.
