WHEAT UNSETTLED
 WITH SUDDEN BREAK
Peace RumOrs Further Dis turb COnfidence-Cl0se
 Is Nervous

2 Chicago. April 9o.-Wheat became much unsettled today on a sudden break of Ti4c in May delivery. It was said to have been started by an error over single order and was quickly followed by g. nearly complete recovery, but peace ru- mors tended further to disturb conf dence. Closed nervous, Ssa9e under last night. Corn finished tsc off to is61i.c up; oats down isa14e to ss@5Hc. and provisions with u decline of 2i2uoc to Zoe.
 Most of the selling of May wheat was in small lots and of q stop loss character. Buying demand was limited on the down turn, and when support did develop it was found that the market for May had be- come bare of offers. However, in the more active months. July and September. selling later increased in volume with the supply coming largely from traders who had been bullish during the recent To- day advance.
 Hedging against increasing purchases of wheat to arrive here figured as a handi- cap on prices. There was selling of May and July against purchases of September, which resulted in relative strength for the more distant month.
 Signs of export business served largely to offset in corn depression that otherwise might have resulted from wheat's weak ness.
 Oats suffered from longs unloading but not to anything like the same extent as wheat. N
 Scattered liquidation weighed down pro- visions.

 There should be at the head of the department of health In Alabama man especially trained along the lines of pub lie health and sanitation. Alabamas bsclxwardness in this matter is of grave concern to thinking physicians and should not be permitted to continue
 pr. Leach referred to the work that is being done in Tuscaloosa by graduate of the University of Harvard and said the county was making long steps for ward along the lines of sanitation and health.
 pr. NJ. A. Copeland of the Jefferson County Medical society, yesterday an- swered in part Dr. Sanders statement that appeared In The Age-Herald Monday morning His statement follows: Statement From Copeland
 While it is true that our state health officer, Dr. Sanders, at one time saved the city of Birmingham a vast amount of money and her people no end of fright. incorlv enience, etc, by his great diagnostic ability in a case of suspected yellow fever, and has rendered the state some valuable service for number of years,
  any of the other medical societies of the state are unwilling for him and his little crowd of counsellors to continue their systen1--so undemocratic-unless they will at least show a willingness to adopt some modern methods, and employ some ae- sstants who are especially trained for the kind of service necessary to give Ala bama the same protection that other states have.
 "We have some of the best doctors In the world in Alabama, and. though some of them have not had an opportunity to sink a Merrimac,' alb they need is . chance, and 1t is ridiculous that such conditions as exist in tho Alahama State Medical association should be tolerated any longer. We must. however, take off our hats to Dr. Sanders and his little bunch for his 'railroading qualities. and Its sure thing that we will have to resort to the .jitney' game before VI can expect any satisfactory resultsL"
