REACTION IN THE
PRICE OF WHEAT
Bulls Concede Advance Has
Been Too Rapid and
H eavy Selling Causes
Weakness to Develop.

Chicago, Jan. 4.--Skepticism about
the disability of following up the IL
cent advance scored within As hours
led to a bearish reaction today in the
wheat market here. Even bull lead
ers, who have been advocating price
level Of So a bushel, conceded that the
advance had~been too rapid.
Peace possibilities and submarine
activity tended all o to induce profit
taking by holders and to provoke short
selling Opening quotations, which
ranged from 17sc decline to &c ad-
vance, with May SISSY to s1.s6a and
July $1.5ah to $1.54. were preliminary
to a decided general setback, but then
a moderate rally.
About midday the weakness became
somewhat acute, owing to Washington
rumors that President Wilson would
make another attempt to bring about
stoppage of European hostilities. The
declines, however, were checked by re-
ports of the immense volume of cash
business in all grains. The close was
nervous, IN to az net lower.

No More Weak Kidneys,
Rackache, Rheumatism

Dear Readers: - Just lately, I am
told and l beg to inform others that
the famous DR.. Pierce of whose med
cines and Surgical Institution in Buff
falo, New York, we have heard for
years, has added to his popularity by
placing before the American people,
Anuric.. This prescription is adapted
especially for kidney complaints and
diseases arising from disorders of the
Kidneys and bladder, such as backachc,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, conges-
ion of the kidneys, inflammation of the
bladder, scalding urine and urinary
troubles. The physicians and special
SITS at DR.. Pierccs great Institution have
thoroughly tested this prescription and
lave been with one accord successful in
,radicating these troubles, and in most
cases absolutely curing the diseased
sidneys.
| know of one or two leading drug
yists here who have managed to pro-
,ure supply of Anuric for their anxious
customers in and around this locality.
A FIRM BELIEVER.
