Four-Cent Drop in wheat.

Wholesale dumping of May wheat by tired
holders caused break of cents in the
price of that delivery at Chicago yesterday.
Just before the close the price had fallen to
9dss cents. as against $1.o0s. earlier in the
day. The heavy selling was due to the con-
viction In the minds of many traders that
the Armour interest had finally disposed
of all holdings of wheat for that delivery.

MIpp1EsEx COUNTY HospIrAL

Institution Which is Soon to be Opened
 for the Reception of Patients.
 The Middlesex hospital, for which the people of Middletown and the county at large have been striving for years, lis at. last an accomplished fact, and will be formally opened for the recep- tion of patients within short time. One of the principal factors in bringing this about before the time which even the most sanguine expected was the splendid gift of Colonel Herbert L. Camp, of this city, and his sister, Mrs. Sheath, of New Haven, who presented Ito the hospital association building which could almost be said to be ready at hand for the needs of hospital
 This was the John N. Camp home stead, valued at from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars, including the sur rounding land. It is beautifully situ- ated on Crescent street, nor far from the south end of Main street, and about lthree-fourths of mile from the rail- way station, In an emergency a train could be stopped at Union street, with lin a quarter of mile or less of the hospital. The building is of cement on brown stone foundation, is three stories in front, with large square tower and a large ell of two stories. Broad piazzas are in front and another on the west side of the addition. The grounds are ample and capable of being made very attractive, and give plenty of room for enlargement of the hospital should cir cumstances warrant. It is possible that an addition will be built within the next five years.
 There are sixteen rooms in the house not including bath and toilet rooms, For the past six months the work ne cessary to adapt what was one of the finest private residences in tie city tc its new uses has been in progress This Ihas taken longer than was at first an- lticipated but is now practically com plete.

LIMITED SUPPLY OF PLATINUM

LIMITED SUPPLY OF PLATINUM. One of the most valuable minerals of which the source of supply is very little known, and is consequently very limit ed, is that of platinum. In December, I1901 8 discovery was made of plati- mum group offnetals in the copper ores Eof the Rambler mine in Wyoming. The fuses of this metal would be greatly in- creased if it could be found in sufficient Iquantity to reduce the present high
 price and to make a certainty of suf- ficient supply to warrant further en- largement of it's uses
 For very many purposes there has as 5yet been found no other metal that will perfectly take it's place. The conse- quence is that the price of platinum keeps up almost equal to that of gold, and the demand for it has been some what increased in the last few years by the discovery of a use of osminm which occurs iu a considerable extent in American platinum as the mineral os-
 meridium.
 The present known deposits occur in three forn1s-first, in places, as exem- plified by those in the Urals, Colombia,
 Brazil and British Columbia; second, in veins, as at Tilkerode in the Hartz
 mountains, Minas Gereas in Brazil, Santa Rosa in California, Beresoosk in
 Russia, Gauldual Canal of Spain and the Rambler mines already mentioned.
 The. third is by dissemination in erup- tive rocks found in Canada, also as a
 native metal in basic eruptive rocks Philadelphia Record.

representation of it.
1t was the writer's good fortune to
be in Antwerp during Kirmess time,
and the celebration there was very
like that of our own Fourth of July,
with the exception that instead of last
ing was kept up for a whole week
There were concerts, parades, gym
nastic exhibitions and horse races by
day, and river parades, theatrical per-
formances, Examinations and fireworks
by night
The river fete was a great sue
cess. Every boat on the river was IL
Illuminated and hung with flags, the
shores were brilliantly lighted, and
there were fireworks from every quar-
ter. On raft anchored in mid-stream
a chorus of sixty men, women and
children sang a cantata. Strong search
lights were thrown upon the raft
Sundays celebration began by a
service in the great cathedral. con
Quoted by the archbishop. The cath
edral is very beautiful, with its tower,
Mechlin lace. The great carved wood
en- pulpit is a marvellous piece of work
and the church contains numerous
masterpieces of Rubens, Murillo and

Descent from the Cross"
Following the church service came
the religious procession, which was a
gorgeous spectacle, owing to the ban.
ners which were carried at intervals of
ten feet, and to the red and purple and
gold embroidered robes of the acolytes
and priests.
The houses along the route of the
procession were gayly decorated. and
each bore one or more long candies
in a large tin candlestick, adorned by
a boquet of flowers, either natural or
artificial.
In front of the Kings palace larger
shrine had been erected, with red
