FUTURE MARKET TO
OPEN HERE IN JULY
Grain Trade Will Have Same
Scope as Chicago Board
of Trade.
HOURS 8 O'CLOCK TILL /

Starting July 5, the Omaha Grain
exchange will maintain a market for
dealing in futures, as we'll as con-
tinuing a cash market. On that date
members of the exchange will be-
come authorized to trade, one with
another, or they may buy and sell for
customers, closing the deals on the
floor of the exchange.
The new departure of the Omaha
Grain exchange will give it the same
scope as the Board of Trade of Chi
cago, with reference to the grain
trade. Members under the authority
given them by the constitution and
bylaws Of the organization, may buy
or sell any kinds or classes of grain,
contracting to deliver at such times
as are fixed by the rules.
Trades in wheat, corn, rye and bar
ley will be placed in 1000 bushel lots,
and oats in $500 bushel lots. The
commission to be charged will be
largely matter of agreement be-
WYNN NSNhoii6S lHCH
customers, but on wheat it is under
stood that it will be one-eighth of
cent per bushel.
Margins Will Vary.
The margin required to be put up
on trades, will, to a great extent, be
governed by the financial ability of
the traders. For instance, dealer
who is worth, say 100000, will not
be expected to spot as much money
on margin as one who has but
$4,000.
The trading floor, where the dealers
in futures will be found during the
trading hours, which will be from 9
O'Clock in the morning, till | o'clock
in the afternoon, will be directly in
front of the main entrance.
The Omaha market today was con-
siderably stronger, wheat and corn
being up cent, and oats, one-fourth
to one-half. Receipts were light.
there being 20 cars of wheat, 81 of
corn and 8 of oats. Wheat sold at

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, April Rapid ex-
changes are expected to take place in
the political situation during the COM
ing fortnight. These developments will
probably reveal other Republican leaders
following in Senator Roots footsteps in
making peace with Col Roosevelt.
It is felt that because Senator Root,
who stands out as the dominant leader
OF the Republican party, has seen fit to
shake the hand OF the Colonel and call
matters square, others in the party will
fall in behind him and do the same
thing.
Roosevelt's growing strength and the
confusion caused by the burying of the
Ratchet at the Root-Roosevelt petit
dejeuner is believed to be impressing Re-
publicans all over the country with the
inevitableness Of the CoIoners part in
the coming campaign. 1t is also believ-

Dr.. T. B. Sachs, of Chicago,

Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Chicago, April DIR. Theodore B.
Sachs, widely known as an expert in
tuberculosis, today killed himself with
poison, at the Edwards Sanitarium at
Nsperville. Ills. This is the latest de-
velopment in a political fight that has
shaken Chicago, and which has attracted
unusual attention in medical circles all
over the country.
DR.. Sachs had been at the head of
the great municipal sanitarium, which
is devoted to treatment of tuberculosis
cases. He had been appointed to that
position three or four years ago, and
when Mayor Thompson took charge of
city affairs great pressure was put upon
him to retain DR.. Sachs, which he did
until quite recently, when DIR. Sachs was
displaced and Dr. Caldwell, also eminent
in his line. was put in charge.
This stirred fierce political row, which.
was at its height when DIR. Sachs con-
tributed the browning sensation by kill
ing himself. -
