ONE PENALTY OF WEALTH.
Indigestion Afflicts Many Men Who Have
Immense Fortunes.


One curse of riches, which, it is said,
has come to quite a large number OF
Americans who have during the past few
years made considerable fortunes, is in
digestion, due to what may be termed
good living, The sudden transition from
a simple life, where hard work was re-
quired early and late, to a life Of luxury
with but little hard work has proved a
change too great to be BEAUTIFULLY made.
1t is a change which. has come to many
who have not during their previous life
had to take into account that where phySi-
cal exercise does not come with a mans
daily pursuits some means of obtaining it
through out of door sports of greater
or less character is essential if good
health is to be maintained
To eat and drink, possibly to excess,
to live luXuriouSly-that is, to satisfy all
ones desires without material physical ex-
ertiOn-is almost certain to be physically
demOTaliZing and the NUMBER of those
not beyond the middle period of life who
have in the last few years acquired great
wealth who are now under medical treat
ment, not so much for nervous ailments
as for what may be termed an excess of
There is, perhaps, this compensation
in life, that the man of moderate means
who is compelled by the necessity OF
the case to live in a reasona bly, simple
manner is more likely to enjoy better
health while he lives and continue on to
a good old age than is the man who does
not Rave to place the least restriction
upon his expenditures and who cannot
withstand the temptation to consume all
of the daintieS prOcurable by money

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
South st Paul, Feb.

South st Paul, Feb 5.
CATTLE-Receipts have been light
this week, although showing a small
Increase over the corresponding week
a year ago. Butcher cattle offerings,
with the exception of one day, Tues
day, have not been sufficient to meet
the demands of the trade, and prices
are quoted steady to strong at last
weeks close, with some better grade
stuff selling possibly 10 cents higher.
Bulls steady at last weeks decline.
Best Veals steady, others slow and
weak. There is a right good demand
for better quality stock and feeding
steers weighing 500 pounds and UP at
steady prices, but the lighter weight
stuff is very dull and weak, quoted
15W25 cents lower in some quarters.
Stock heifers are finding only a fair
outlet at weak prices. Best mich cows
are fair sale at steady prices, but the
common kinds are quoted $203 lower
and slow at the decline.
HOGS--Receipts, while modsse%@
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-02-06

continue to show a good increase over
last year. The week opened with a
cent loss, but this was picked up
on Tuesday. Yesterday prices aver
aged SOLO cents higher, and today
there was another like advance. The
demand is good and not enough COM
ing to meet the actual wants of the
trade. Some good hogs are coming
in, but the bulk are running only COM
mon to fair. See today's market re-
port in another column.
SHEEP-Receipts are running
heavy this week and show a big in
crease over the corresponding week
q year ago, but the bulk of the stuff
that has come in has been from the
West, and has not been put on sale
here. Sheep are selling fully steady,
and lambs are quoted stronger. Pack
ers are getting the bulk of their sup
plies from the, feed lots. Stock and
feeding stuff, if good, finds good
outlet at steady prices.

eapOlis-Another day of crippled
wire service and the lack of important
news added uncertainty to the wheat
market and made traders nervous and
undecided. Liverpool was unchanged al
the opening, but the later cables showed
Liverpool wheat SD up, and this helped
the tone here. Sentiment appears moder-
ately bullish and while there was less
talk of the doings of Armour in the
Chicago pit, the tendency was stronger.
Minneapolis May opened at 1850 and

year, and Duluth 40, against 50. Of the

MORE DOING IN STOCKS
MARKET BROAD AND AT TIMES
VERY ACTIVE, ALSO
General Impression of Strength,
Which, However, Is Somewhat IL
lusory-Last Prices of the Day Be-
low the Best in Every Case.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The aggre gate
dealings in stock rose to above three
quarters of million shares today. The
market was broad and at times very
active and also gave general impress
sion of strength and advancing prices.
That this impression was TO some eX-
tent illusOry is manifest from the small
and ragged showing of net gains for
the day. Where as, at one time q
large number of leading active stocks
were point or more above last nights
closing, it will be seen that the last
prices for the day were in all cases
materially below the best while in
many instances the earlier gains were
wiped out and final prices made lower
than those of last night.
The skillful leadership of the mar
ket may safely be inferred from this
showing and it is not rash assump-
ton that professional manipula ton also
played part in the price movement.
1t is evident. however, that operators
in stocks with large resources and With
an extensive organization for the pur-
pose have ventured upon stock mar
ket campaign for an advance in prices
There is no evidence yet that the lead
ership thus undertaken has been eff
fective in attracting any large outside
buying movement.

LOWER LEVEL FOR GRAIN
LIGHT TRADING IN WHEAT AND
A NERVOUS FEELING
Cables Down AppreciabIy, Which Is
the Main Cause of Depression-Weak
Opening With Worse Condition to
Foilow-Corn Steady, but With No
Special Features.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-There was only
a moderate business on the Board of
Trade today, and wheat ruled nervous
with a weaker tendency. May closing
3-Sc lower. May corn closed a shade
lower, and May oats were off 1-Sc. May
provisions closed easier, being from
1-2c to Toe lower.
q Trading in wheat was rather light,
and local longs were disposed to sell,
offerings being quite liberal through
out the day. The lower cables, both
Liverpool and Paris, showing a marked
decline, were the chief factor in caus-
ing the depression. The opening was
weak, with May off 3-8@1-2c, at 800
~ l-8c, and further decline to. 7S Use
was soon made. A fair export demand
caused a rally lated to 70 5-8c,p but
local realizing brought about another
decline, and the close was weak, with
May at the low point at rs 3-4c, a loss
of 3-4c. Argentine shipments for the
week were a weakening influence, be-
ing estimated at 100000 blu, against
5SS,OO0 the same week last year. Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
255,0O0 bu. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported receipt of 344 cars, which,
with local receipts of 25 cars, 2 of con-
tract grade, made total receipts for
-,
All cars last week and 218 cars a year
ago.
Corn Has a Prosy Day.
Corn ruled steady in spite of the
weakness in wheat, but the trading
was extremely light, and the market
lacked any special features The
freight blockade was still a prominent
factor in the situation and was one
OF the causes for an easier opening,
although lower cables also contributed
to the early depression. There was
little change in prices during the day
and the close was steady, with May q
shade lower, at "A 3-4@44 7-8c, after
selling between "A 5-Sc and 45c Local
receipts were 213 cars, with only one of
contract grade.
Trading in oats was dull and unin-
teresting the greater part of the day
the business being largely of a local
character. prominent long was a
falr purchaser late in the day. which
| caused an advance, and May closed
1-4c higher, at 36 5-Sc, after ranging
between 80 lac and Sc Use. Local re-
| ceipts were 126 cars
Provisions showed a moderate ad-
| vance early, Influenced by the smaller
receipts of hogs and an advance of ga
