Chicago, Nov. 29.-Whnat prices to-
day showed decided power to rally At
first, however the. market gave evil
dence of much nervousness and had to
face an accumulation of overnight SELL
ing orders. ON the other hand, word
from the seaboard told of ar. improved
export demand. The market also was
affected by assertions that President
Wilson disapproved Of any embargo on
foodstuffs. Opening prices, which
ranged from > cents decline TO rs
cents advance, with December az l.66
to 1864 and May at l.741. to 10, was
followed by a moderate general setback

Talk OF big purchases for Europe no
tably at Baltimore led to decided gains
which We're afterward offset to a large
extent by profit taking on the part OF
holders The close was strong at Is 10

Corn.
Corn fluctuated with wheat altho
within a much narrower range. one
of the largest houses here was con-
spicuous on the buying side, taking or
ferings freely. After opening un-
changed to q lower, the market sagged
a little further and then scored a slight
net gain all around.
Scantiness of rural offerings tended
later TO give the market a substantial
lift. The close was strong at Is TO IA

Oats merely reflected the changes in
other cereals. on the decline shorts
were active in covering and thus
brought about rallies.
Provisions.
Lower quotations on hogs pulled
down provisions. Selling pressure. tho,

ment Of counsel Judge Fry sentenced

HALF THE DEATHS
due TO |. /. !. !. CAUSES G y
Heart. Disease. Tuberculo-
sis and Pneumonia are
Americas Scourges.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 90
According to a preliminary announce
ment with reference to morality in
1914, issued by Director Sam L.. Rog-
ers, of the Bureau of the Census,
Department Of Commerce, and COM
piled by Richard c. Lappin. chief
statistician for vital statistics, more
than 80 per cent of the 89S.059 deaths
reported for that year in the regis
tration area" which contained about
two.thirds of the population Of the
entire United States, were due to
three causes-heart diseases, tubercu.
losis, and pneumonia and more than
60 per cent to eleven causes-the
three Just named with Bright's dis
ease and nephrltis cancer, diafrhea
and enteritis, apoplexy, .arterial dis
eases, diphtheria, diabetes, aud ty-
phoid fever.
The deaths from heart diseases (or-
ganic diseases of the heart and en-
docarditis) in the registration area
in 1914 numbered 1854, or 1903 per
100, 900 population. The death or NOR
tally increase as compared with 1900,
when it was only 1881 per 10000.
tuberculosis in its various forms
claimed 96,903 victims in 1914, OF
which number 1896 died from tu'
herculosis Of the lungs (including &C
ute military tuberculosis.) As a result
of more general understanding OF
the laws Of health, the Importance OF
fresh air, etc, due In part, no doubt,
to the efforts of the various societies
for the prevention OF tuberculosis,
there has been most marked and
gratifying decrease during recent
years in the mortality from this
scourge Of civilization. In only q de-
cade-from 1904 to 1914-the death
rate from tuberculosis in all its form
fell from 2007 to 146...S.. per 1000,
