Am instantaneous Cure.

During the cattle plague of 1866 a
farmer who had lost a number of his
cows grew so depressed that he fully
persuaded himself he had also con-
tracted the disease. The medical man
whom he consulted tried in vain to
laugh him out Of his fears, but sub
sequently, being fond of a joke. pre-
tended to agree with the patients
views, and solemnly told him If he
would attend to his instructions he
would be cured. He then gave the
farmer a prescription, which he direct
ed should be taken to a neighboring
druggist, but when the latter opened
the envelope and read the contents he
was as much startled as the farmer.
For the prescription was as follows:
This man has the cattle plague. Take
him into the back yard and shoot him,
according to act of parliament" Need
less to say. the cure was instantane-
ous.-Dundee Advertiser.

Chicago. May Liver
pool responds to our strength in wheat
yesterday with I'D to Id advance. Good
sales of cash wheat were made to mill
ers here yesterday. New York report
ed sales of red wheat at fancy prices.
It is not thought that embarrassment
of local house will have any particu-
lar effect in the grain trade. There is
no change in the tone of advices from
the southwest, they are bullish on
backward and thin appearance of plant
and moisture still badly needed over
considerable section. So long as mills
in all sections of the country continue
to take wheat at a fancy premium over
the May contracts and the crop months
are at a big discount under the May, il
will be q safe proposition to take the
buying side of discounted months on
soft spots. This market probably due
for another advance today, although a
little reaction might be due after an
opening bulge, because of the some
what extensive covering by shorts yes
terday.
CORN-we still think it a conserva-
tive bear market in the late corn
months, although the stubbornness of
prices yesterday indicated that it may
not be smooth sailing for those who
are working for a lower level. While
the present acute cash situation con-
tinues and May prices holds well up in
the seventies, it will do to be a little
cautious about selling the other months
excerpts on the swelIs. Receivers are
reporting prospects of larger movement
of corn, both on country acceptances
OF bids and on consignments. This, in
time, will give Chicago stocks of corn
and will be on the side of sellers

the gossip among some of the sharpest
traders last night that the market is
shaping for small advance. The only
explanation that traders were able to
make of yesterdays strength in the.
face of big worlds shipments and the
small speculative business was that
the market had been sold out in the
past few trading days and the bearisn
news well discounted, traders generally
being short over Sunday.
CORN-Sentiment among the big
traders is bearish on corn, one promi-
nent man predicting that July is very
likely to sell at sc cents next week,
but he advises caution in selling short
and that it should be done only on
bulges. The largest cash handlers have
more information regarding an in
crease in the country offerings.

more profit taking by outside holders
than heretofore, because the crop
