Run of Rangers Will Be Short.

lDenver Record Stockman.l
There are Indications that the run
of cattle from the western ranges will
be short and that by the first of the
month there VIII be nothing coming bat
a few beiated shipments. The good
weather prevailing is encouraging the
movement at this time, but reports
reaching here from the west indicate
that the largest part of the run is al
ready over and that there will be a
gradual decline in receipts from the
west from now on. Eastern markets
are commencing to clean up little and
the improved feeling in all the mar
kets is very noticeable. However. there
are still many cattle in the hands OF
spectators on the markets and in pas
lures adjacent to the markets to keep
trade we'll supplied for the rest of this
month at least. The big feeder buyers
are only just commencing to buy AMI
there is no lack of demand for the good
cattle. The only really bad feature to
the outlook just now is the tight money
situation. Many would be feeders are
unable to secure finances to fill their
lots.

e. Il. Prince Grain Letter

Chicago. Nov. 13.-Wheat-The mar
ket was arm all day, but it was not
until near the close, that any particular
strength was demonstrated. Then buy
ing by Armour of May and fair fol-
lowing of traders caused an advance
and the close was strong December
was also strong. partly in sympathy
with May. After a Arm opening there
was selling by Armour, which resulted
in loss Of the early advance and the
market held around the closing prices
TIL the bulge started. The news was
CT bearish nature. but there not much
disposition to sell on several days
break There was a fairly good trade
all day. Pit traders favored the buy
ing side. Spencer and Bartlett-Frazier
were heavy sellers early. Demand was
scattered. with commission houses as a
general thing on the buying side. May
at ST. Louis was very strong. Good
export reported near the close. There
is considerable talk OF decreasing re-
creasing receipts in the northwest.
Corn-yery little feature to the mar
ket. Local trades aCatn favored the
long side over the recent declines and
there was considerable covering by
shorts and q fair demand from com
mission houses. Local longs sold mod
erately. Late strength in wheat was a
help to corn. Trade in December was
limited, principally OF a local charac-
ter. with shorts inclined to cover.

There's nothing better
than SCOTS Emulsion after

Two things to do: give
strength to the whole body

SCOTS Emulsion will do it;
contains just what the worm

There Was Little Activity to Trad

and fair demand from commission

a hrmness in wheat today, December

to trading and prices held within a
narrow range. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago receipts were SIS cars.
Fair demand existed turnout the day.

Corn was strong on scattered buying
and small receipts helped to create a
bullish tendency. as did small offer
ings. December opene. unchanged to

to 42A and then steadied at AZ. Re-
ceipts were 247 cars.
Corn followed wheat, closing strong,
December y q y, higher at 42ss a i21s.
Oats were slightly easier on selling
by longs, but the tirmness in wheat
and corn caused a weaker market.
December opened a shade lower at S25s

were 16S cars.
The feature in provisions was a fair
demand for January lard. which caused
a firm tone to pervade the entire list.
in spite of decline from 10 to Is in the
price of hogs. Demand came largely
from local shorts.

SCARLET FEVER SERUM.
Used Successfully by a New York
Physician.

DR.. Louis Fischer Of the Willard Parker
and Riverside hospitals. has just completed
his clinical report of the results of treating
scarlet fever with antl-streptococcus In
a recent issue of the Medical Record he pre-
sents a paper describing how he came to
use this serum and how it affected two
children.
The first case was that of child four
and a half years old, hitherto susceptible
to bronchitis and tonsilitis, sufferer from
dyspeptic difficulties, nervous and with
marked evidences of ricketts,. When Dr.
Fischer first was called the child's tenn
perature was 10i. diagnosis of scarlet
fever was made.
Owing to the weakened state of the child.
sepsis was feared, and DR.. Fischer injected
20 G. c. OF Aronson's anti-streptococcus
serum on February 15. 1903. The child's
condition improved gradually and continu-
ously. The most marked effect in this case
was apparent: first, in the reduction Of the
temperature by lysis, and, second, in the
gradual melting away Of the pseudomem-
branes (scarletinal necrosfs).
f In the second case, girl eight years DID,
DR.. Fischer was called into consultation on

February %. The history of the patient
given by her family physician was that she
had been Ill three days with a temperature
OF 104 F. the day previous and 104 1-5 F. on
February 20. Her pulse was weak and
rapid. There was loss of appetite and
general apathetic condition.
Owing to the severe general infection, DR..
Fischer again decided to give an injection
OF the anti-streptococcus serum of the same
strength as in the previous case. On Feb
ruary %, when he saw the patient again,
he noted the entire disappearance of ne
crotic patches In the throat, and the con-
ditions were Identical with those of the
first case.
DR.. Fischer, however, warns practitioners
that great care should be exercised In
judging this new serum from small,
though successful, series Of cases.
