CHICAGO, May 12.-The wheat market was
extremely nervous, but withal a very small
and largely professional affair. The early tone
was weak, but buyers were not disposed TO
follow advance after shorts had covered. Inc
market did not show very great powers OF
ABSORPTION when some of the longs attempted
to turn paper profits into cash on the SVEN.
Later the tone was heavy. The early tone
was strong on reports that the freezing anu
dry weather northwest had inflicted much
damage ON spring wheat. Very conservative
and respected grain interests both sides OF the
international line today declared that there
has been no damage worthy of MENTION anu
this had its effect general trade.
There was small volume of business IN coril
Leading wheat longs bought both May ana
July and had a fairly active and 1nnuehtlai'
but not large local speculative following Ar
gentine new crop corn is beginning to move.
Cash corn showed some tirmness. Corn plant
ing is progressing rapidly Increased receipts
are expected soon, which should bring lower
prices again.
There was a general rush to buy september
oats but the advance met with good deal of
quiet selling by a leading elevator long, with
the result that while there was big trade
price range was narrow. Further damage
claims from the northwest have brought de-
mails from conservative interests in that sec
ton.
The provision market was narrow and
small affair Packers bought early. There
was commission house selling later, which the
trade enormously credited to packers, but later
steady buying by the same interest showed
that there has been a better demand from
manufacturing than other interests.

TYPHOID DECREASING.
Montreal Becoming Gradually Free
From Dread Disease.

Montreal, Jan. 14.-There are indi-
actions that the TYPHOID plague is
starting to decrease, although it will
probably continue for some time yet
to considerable extent Applica-
tons at the hospitals are falling off
although the regular hospitals are
still taxed. and the list of patients at
the Emergency hospital is steadily
growing. 1t was stated at the city
hospital yesterday that the number
of applications had steadily fallen eff
since the Emergency hospital had
been opened, but that during the past
week there had been noticeable
reduction in the cases.
While the regular hospitals have
been filled for a long time, the En-
Urgency hospital may be regarded as
a barometer showing the course of
the disease in the city, and the re-
turns in this way are fairly encour-
aging. Four new patients We're ad-
mitted yesterday, none Wednesday
two Tuesday and six Monday Pre-
vious to that date, after the initial
rush of old cases, there was an av-
erage of six new cases daily, so that
the records this week indicate that
probably the worst of the outbreak
has passed.

MAY CLOSE BREACH
Plan in Mind Of Chief Executive Re-
garding Working OF Republicans
For Administration Measures, Dis.
tasteful to Regulars, But May Re-
suit In Remedying Difficulty.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 14-The
government of the House of Repres-
entatives by frequent party caucuses
instead of as now by action of the
committee on rules, for which Speak
er Cannon is chairman, is the plan
that President Taft has in mind to
hold together the entire Republican
strength of that body in order that
the platform promises may be re-
deemed and the administration poll
cies carried out.
This radical proposition, displeasing
in a measure to the hidebound regu-
lars and partly gratifying to the in
surgents and the President believes
for the best interests of the Republi-
can party, was the chief development
of interest In connection with the row
between the regulars and insurgents
in the House today.
Critics of the President have re-
ferred sneeringly to his desire for
Cancellation" and his expansive
smile.
The expansive smile was very
much in evidence today and those
aware of what the President has un-
dertaken to do part of which he has
accomplished, believed that the smile
was justified in the success of his
policy of Cancellation. 1t is being
claimed by the admirers of President
Taft, that he has accomplished more
through this same policy than he
would have accomplished had he en-
deavored to apply big stick" meth
DDS.
The intimation in the statement is
sued from the White House today,
officially declaring that the split be
tween 1he regulars and insurgents
which had been growing wider during
the last week, had been at least tenn
porarily healed, to the effect that
thereafter caucus control and not the
action of Speaker Cannon's rules
committee, would be the governing
power in the House Overshadows ev-
en- the announcement thai from now
On the regulars AMI insurgents will
work together on strictly party ques-
TINS.

for many years in confidential rea-
tions with the late Henry o. Have"
meyer, was indicted today by the Fed
eral grand jury here for conspiring

that Heike endorsed several checks

to the sugar trust in duties stolen by
underweights.
