 The wheat market opened weak as a re- suit of a break at Liverpool and selling brought on by liberal receipts in the North west. News of bearish character develop ed, which resulted in still greater weak ness. Much of the late selling was due to- an Argentine despatch which asserted that receipts of wheat from the interior were increasing and that the export j. volume but an increase in the movement in this country had an influence in depress- ing prices. The market closed wtsak. and flour were 694.000 bushels. Primary re- ceipts T2s,000, bushels compared with 3SS.0O0 bushels the corresponding day year ago. The corn market was inclined to be weak all day, although it received good support from cash houses who bought freely on re- ports of light acceptances in the country. This demand. however. was tnFufricient to offset the effect of thefselling brought mt out out sharp break in wheat. An official forecast of a cold wave for the corn belt also caus- ed some selling. The market closed easy for some time past The market was a trifle easier because of tn eweakness of wheat and corn.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-lnformed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
