LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
SUMNER GIVES NEW LIFE TO NEAR
LIZ ALL LINES OF TRADE.
New Fruits and Staples DispIacing Old
stock-Grain Dealers Await Ina
proved Conditions.

In the week ended Saturday the volume OF
trade came nearer reaching expectation than
any week OF the present year. In fact. II was
the FIRST week in which summerke weather has
prevailed. and this gives new life to nearly all
lines OF trade. The dry goods houses although
IL Is rather late in the season. benefited
by the more favorable condition. The wholesale
grocers had a big week. Sugars continue
settled as to price Last years stock Of canned
goods is so well disposed Of that what remains
is causing anxiety. The same remark will
apply 10 dried fruits. New canned goods and
dried fruits will soon be on the market and so
large vii! be the supply that. unless ndica-
tons incorrect, low prices will prevail from
the start Leather dealers report their bust
ness as in excess OF the corresponding period
last year. Prices have become settled and bust
ness is taking on its normal volume. The hide
market is in much the same condition at the
beginning of the week. prices being firm at the
recent advances. but the dealers think there will
be no further advance. the supply Of hides
VIII now begin 10 increase. The -four market
is in strong tone. with distribution good. There
are some concessions in prices TO effect large
sales. but these of no great Importance,
flour being OF the steadiest articles in vol
ume Of demand and in prices the list. Com
mission houses had an excellent week Old
stocks Of potatoes, onions and Ike articles
pretty well cleared up New stock is arriving
freely and sells readily at low figures. The
tail grocers OF Indiana polls do seem to learn
that prices are much lower than a month ago,
Judging from their retail prices. Oranges.
lemons and bananas rule steady at quotations.
aud the fruit is choice and sells unusually low
for May Locally poultry. eggs and choice but
ter are very hrm at quotations. but Eastern
markets are weaker. Receipts seem ample for
this season OF the year. but the demand is so
good there is no accumulation OF stock. Travel
ing statesmen who came in Friday and Satur-
day report conditions unusually bright for a
good trade the remainder of this month and for
June.

FAIR STRENGTH IN WHEAT
OATS FOLLOWS THE LEAD, BOTH
GRAINS CLOSING HIGHER.
Corn Is Weak and Lower, but Closes
Steady-Hog Products Follow Corn
and Close at Declines.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Bullish crop reports
gave strength to the wheat market to-
day and closing prices were near the top.
July being up ssq%c. Corn was of ssQ1zc,
but oats were AQAc higher. September
provisions were from 21ac to sc lower.
Favorable weather caused an easier tone
in wheat at the start, July being unchanged
to 1sc lower at 724c to 727sc, and the early
transactions were at some decline, July
selling off to 72n972Ac. Reports of DAM
age to the crop in the Southwest were
again in evidence. and with outside mar
kets higher and good buying orders from
St. Louis and the Northwest. the market
became strong. Foreign advices were bull
ish and under these conditions shorts
turned active buyers, advancing the price
materially. July selling up to 7sssc The
selling was scattered and principally by
scalpers with profits in sight July closed
with a gain of ss9%c at 7S1z97S%c. Clear
ances of wheat and -four were equal to
9lS.00O blu. Primary receipts were 2i6.0Oo
blu. against $500 year ago. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts Of 104 cars,
which. with local receipts of 50 cars-two
of contract grade-made total of Isl cars,
against It's last week and 112 a year ago.
Corn ruled dull and easy. favorable
weather being the main factor. There
was rather free selling by receiving houses
against country acceptances and the buy
ing was scattered, but mostly by shorts
with profits. The strength in wheat was
bull factor late in the day and caused
a steady tone at the close. July being so
12c lower at 445sQ44a4c, after selling be-
tween 44ssc and 45sc. Receipts were 255
cars-23 of contract grade.
Trading in oats was rather light, but the
market ruled firm the greater part OF the
day. bullish crop advices being the main
stimulating influence. There was a fair
demand from brokers. but offerings were
light, local traders being disposed to await
some definite Information regarding the
crop prospect. The close was steady with
July lsqAc higher at 31sG33l4c. after rang
ing between 327sc and 33Ac. Receipts were
lis cars
Trading IN provisions was dull and prices
had a downward tendency after a steady
opening. There was some selling by out
siders on the easier corn market and on
expectations of increasing hog receipts.
The close was easier, with September pork
2lsc lower at s16.62ls. lard off SC at 1885 and
ribs down &c at $9.1712.

Figures Upon Which Government Ra-
ton Tables Are Based.
Washington Star.


How much day need a mans food cost? The
government dietary experts figures already
being put 20 practical test. The Baltimore Asso-
citation for the Improvement OF the Condition of
the Poor has used the official data as the basis
for a series of ration tables
Less than IA 1-3 cents a day will feed one
man. IL ideal economy be applied In other
words. he purchase for 81 enough provisions
fords him each day just what he needs-no more
no less. Here is sample poor mans ration for
one day: Breakfast corn bread, syrup coffee:
dinner bread. pork. pea soup; supper. bread
honiny, tea. There is also computed a ration
which will keep two people well nourished at the
rate of $50 week, or less than 10& cents per
at the rate of s1.s0 week, and still another for
family Of four at 81 % week.
The new navy ration was based upon modern
dietary studies. 1t represents what is even more
than sufficient for man at hard work. Here is
the basic days ration. which may be varied
with EQUIVALENTS: Fresh meat. one and three
beans three glls soft bread, one and one quarter
pounds; butter. two ounces: sugar, four ounces:
coffee, two ounces; evaporated cream one ounce
In addition, the sailor now gets weekly allow
ance of macaroni. one-half pound cheese. four
ounces; tomatoes, four ounces; vinegar, one-half
pint; pickles, one-half pint; molasses, one-half
pint salt four ounces; pepper, one-f fourth
ounce: mustard, one-half ounce.
That is what Uncle Sam considers to represent
three good, square meals for working man.
Here is what he gives soldier in barracks and
For One Day-Fresh beef, and one fourth
pounds; soft bread. one and one-eighth pounds:

ounces: sugar. three and one-hfth ounces; vine
gar. eght-twenty-hfths OF a gill; salt, eight

Either OF the latter two is more generous than
the poor mans ration" The three are excel
lent bases for experiments in domestic economy
to be made in the households of the poor.
