CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, April 30-WHEAT-Early
prices had a weaker tendency. The
selling was upon large scale and was
ern bears and disappointed bulls.
Weather conditions throughout the
winter wheat belt are reported much
improved and damage to the crop by
green bugs less alarming than last
week. Nevertheless, Secretary Coburn
of Kansas today reported thirty-slx
counties infested by the pest. This
caused a sharp rally in prices. The
final close of the day shows fair re-
covery in values
CORN-DecHned fractiona1ly in the
early part of the session. The weak
ness in wheat had a sympathetic effect
upon corn values. A very large line
of long corn was thrown on the mar
ket by one of the prominent bull con-
Germs. Cash corn in the sample mar
ket also showed a weaker tendency
prices ruling one-quarter to one-half
lower. Cash sales and fereign demand
fairly brisk. In the last half of the
session, the market regained a portion
of the loss closing moderately strong.
OATS-Started off weak, but an eff
fort by the shorts to cover some of
their outstanding contracts in the May
option brought aboua a stampede. The
May future sold at the highest price
on the crop. The deferred futures,
however, did not advance accordingly.
Cash sales We're large about 5000
bushels. The market closed strong.

FADs AND FANCIES IN THE EAST.

Though the temperature records
prove this April to have been the
coolest in many years. fashion has not
suffered but seems. on the contrary, to
rejoice that the transition has not sud
IDENTIFY been from enveloping furs to
transparent frills. The chill days have
brought forth a stunning display of
cloths on the Avenue the young set
are like picture girls, in modish little
tailored suits which impart the most
bewitching swagger to these big doll
babies, while the extremely short
skirts and pony coats give the matrons
look OF youth absurdly masquerading
in gray tresses One has a perpetual
desire to call to them: You can't
fool me; you are only your daughters
twin sister in Disguise"
And the prevailing colors are so re-
dolent Of spring, gray, dark gray blue,
gray-silver gray and just gray. Gray
with dark irregular plalds and hair
stripes are the preference. Then the
blues-in many tones and forgettable
names-but the counters are piled
high with blues adapted to all com
plexions The frocks are made on
mostly the same model Ankle skirts
Win Two OF three very WlQ6 tuckS.
In plaids the cloth is most frequently
cut in bias folds and laid on, one above
the hem and the other near the knee
line. 1t gives smart effect especially
when the coat has similar bias bands
running over each shoulder, down the
front and back, and bias cuffs and
collar.
The woman who insists upon trail
ing cloths for the street seems to ad-
vertise that her feet will not be COM
pressed into the fascinating pumps or
that her ankles are tremendous.
The hats are unusually chic At any
and all seas ons one may notice pre-
posterous, bizarre creations, but the
prevalent style today is fiat, with
a straight turned down brim-much on
the Corday model-but fully two in
ches wider behind than in front.
Bunches of spring flowers bank the
sides. or one long plume extends fiat
over the crown from front to back
But on each and everyone, a band of
the same tone ribbon or black velvet
straps across the back brim, tying I'M
derneath in a smart bow, which re-
places the time worn tulle and is much
more serviceable. This ribbon strap
gives just a suggestion of the English
garden hat. JANE

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, April 30.-The stock mar
ket assumed a rathed mixed appearance
this morning. Union Pacific continued
the chief feature, but it did not dis
play the inherent strength which was
so conspicuous yesterday. On the con-
trary, some inside interests were in
clined to take profits, basing their
operations upon the publicity given to
the new holding company. These in
side interests argued there would be
considerable investment buying on the
announcement of the plan and that it
would be an opportune time to take
profits. st. Paul furnished the other
strong feature among the higher priced
railway shares. It scored an advance
of almost two points in the early
hours of trading, but later lost por-
ton of the advance. Soaking rains
throughout the winter wheat belt gave
the bulls renewed courage, especially
upon the grain carrying roads. Atchi-
son, New York Central, Missouri Pa
clfic, st. Paul, Northwestern, Rock Is
land and in fact the entire roster
showed slight gains over yesterday
closing prices. The market, however,
had all the appearances of a profess
sional one, pure and simple.
1t is rumored in some very well in
formed circles that the Standard OIL
interests are favorable to an advance
in the general market.
The close tonight is very irregular,
advances in some quarters and de-
clines in others.

We look for a more active market
this week with an advancing tendency,
especially in the railroad stocks of the
better class. Tomorrow's steel directors
meeting should develop a fairly favor
able quarterly report, but the dividend
action is not likely to be much of a
market influence. Considerations grow
ing out of Saturdays unexpectedly ia
vorable bank statement should, how
ever, be helpful, and better reports
from the crop regions would be all the
additional news needed to bring about
a good buying movement Traders are
still pessimistic, but as there is no
great amount Of liquidation overhang-
ing the market at the present level, it
would take very little to cause quick
turn about in trading sentiment. There
is no evidence, as far as we are able
to learn, of any change in the bullish
attitude Of the important inside in
terests and we believe materially
higher prices Will be quoted for the
leading issues within the next two
weeks. We feel especially bullish on
the Hartman and Hill stocks, st. Paul,
Atchison, L. & N, Atlantic Coast Line,
Reading, Delaware & Hudson and
Northwestern.

WHO'S YOUR DOCTOR?

Evidently the medical profession does
not care who practices 1t. 1t was de-
clared at a meeting of the council Of
education of the American Medical as
spciation, which is composed Of mem
beers of various state boards of exam
liners, that out Of the 1000 doctors
graduated annually by the medical
colleges only 1000 are qualified to prac-
tice medicine. and that the insistance
of the other 5000 upon following the
trade of dOctoring was a menace to the
health and life of the communities In
which they attempted to practice.
The inference is that many of the
recognized" medical colleges are no
better than the notorious diploma fac
tories which nourished ten and fifteen
years ago and which were wont to turn
loose upon a guileless public a horde of
quacks and charletans to poison the
human system and pervert nature
1t was confessed at the meeting
which was held yesterday in Chicago
that many of the recognized" colleges
have been and are accepting students
who the professors know are wholly
unfit through natural limitations and
lack of primary education to practice
the profession of medicine and that
such students after being crammed and
coached through a course that leaves
no impression upon them, are given
diplomas and turned loose to take lib
critics with that sacred commodity hui
man life.
1t is a humiliating and alarming con-
fession. When doctors who have made
regulations as teachers and practition-
ers declare that three-fourths of the
annual recruits to their ranks are
quacks and counterfeits. humanity IS
appalled, at the chance it is taking
one can look with complacency upon
the annual grist of shyster lawyers
that the law schools turn out, for the
law is something that can be avoided,
as long as one keeps within the pale
Of 1t. Sickness and accidents are in
evitable and they come without warn
ing. and the nearest doctor at hand is
the one that is called in to serve. The
one that is nearest at the psychology
cal moment is the one that gets the
case. He who wants a lawyer has
time to deliberate, but he who wants
a doctor must act quickly or his friends
have to act quickly for him. All doc
tors look alike to the man in distress
and to the friends who are alarmed
over his condition one is helpless in
the hands OF a doctor. but in the hands
Of a lawyer he can do a little thinking
himself. 1t is not given to the man
who is prone on his back to determine
whether the solemn visaged person who
stands over him is deficient in primary
education or not 1t is no time to con-
duct an examination TO determine how
it was that that person managed to be-
come a doctor. The friend or relative
that ran out to get him did not go
beyond the gilt sign hanging in front
of the drug store on the corner.
The teachers and practitioners of
medicine have declared that three
fourths Of their number are unworthy
Of confidence. are unit to practice
medicine. even though they all may be
duly certified by recognized" colleges.
The only means the patient has to
judge between the % per cent who
belong" and the as per cent who do
not belong is in the size Of the BILL

Crop conditions are holding the stock
market in check. A covering move
ment would follow better news in this
respect. 1t should be remembered that
few weeks of good weather will re-
pair most of the damage done to this

ators sail close to shore" meantime,

chases of leaders on reactions like
