CHICAGO. May 1s.-More courage was
noted among the bears in the wheat market
today than in some time. and the tone was
weak Important longs cut down their lines
because prospects for an immediate advance
did not appear to be bright.
Toward the close liquidation became ur.
gent and prices sagged rapidly, rejecting
better crop advlces and a lack of outside
support due, ii was believed, to rumors of
peace that have been circulating for sew
eral days.
Unfavorable crop news was not lacking.
but II failed to help the demand. Higher
temperatures were predicted. Bears in
sisted that the outlook in principal pro-
ducing sections of the winter belt were not
as bad as had been painted and asserted
that conditions in the Northwest would i'm
prove with warmer weather
The market at Liverpool was easy and II
was stated that no apprehension was felt
there over the absorption of eargoes from
Argentina and Australia by the continent,
tn United Kingdoms receipts being liberal
with large reserves in Canada.

MILITARY HOSPITALS

Cost of Maintaining French 1nstitu.

American Contributions Large.

PARIS, January There are 50O.-
900 beds in the military and auxiliary
hospitals of France. The cost of their
maintenance is 100000 francs daily.
This figure, however, gives no idea
of the expenditure per patient, for the
number varies constantly and consid-
erable proportion of the beds are al
ways empty.
American contributions for French
hospital and ambulance work have ex-
ceeded 100000 francs. About 0.00O,-
900 francs have been spent in France
thus far by three Red Cross societies.
At present they are maintaining 49,
600 beds in 1900 hospitals. at an out
lay of between 100000 and 100000
francs monthly.
THE society for the aid of wounded
soldiers, the principal Red Cross or
ganization, started with 100000 francs
at the beginning of the war. The re-
mainder OF it's expenditures and those
of the other two societies have been
