CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Huge Sales for Export Give Sharp UpturI
to Wheat.


Chicago. Feb. 2A--Big purchases for
Europe led to a decided advance in wheat
values today. The outcome was a strong
close, ~ d2hc net higher. with May at
Sl.7sh 91.7SS and July at 1.5lH qi.bl&.

Uncertainty at the outset In the wheat
market gave way quickly to widespread bull
ish sentiment that resulted from announce
ment of export sales aggregating l'6OO,ooo
bushels Accompanying demand for future
deliveries was urgent from houses with east
ern connections. Besides the foreign busi-
ness stated as having been actually put
through, 1t was said there were inquiries In
the market for immediate additional
quantities. Altered views In regard to
Lloyd Georges speech tended further to lift
prices. The opinion most popular today was
that the premiers address implied long
continuance Of extraordinary demand for
foodstuffs and had even precluded much Of
a break In values on peace news
Assertions that a fleet OF the largest mer-
chant vessels In the world shortly would be
conveyed from this side of the Atlantic by
British cruisers helped to carry the wheat
market to the topmost point OF the day.
Bad crop reports from the southwest con-
tinued to Cypress the bears On the other
hand. no substantial relief for the car
scarcity here was In sight
Corn followed wheat. beaviness at the
start being displaced soon by unmistakable
strength Shorts covered freely. Oats
hardened with other grain. Trading, though,
was of small volume.
Hogs at the long coveted goal Of 1890
hundred pounds made provisions climb.
It was said that the hog supplies were short
OF daily requirements and that signs pointed
to curtailed receipts during March.

and unable to rise. This condition may
result from paralysis. from aZOturia,
from forage poisoning, from lockjaw.
or from painful conditions Of the
bones or feet. such as bighead or
founder. Lying down at unusual times
or in unusual positions may Indicate
disease. The first symptom OF collie
may be q desire on the part Of the
horse to lie down at IN unusual or
Inappropriate time or place. Some
times dlslnclination to lie down is an
indication Of disease. When there is
difficulty in breathing. the horse
knows that he eau manage himself bet
ter upon his feet than upon his breast
or his side. In nearly all serious dis
eases Of the respiratory tract he stands
persistently, day and night, until re-
cOyery has commenced and breathing
IS easier. or until the animal falls
FROM sheer exhaustion. II there is
stiffness and soreness Of the muscles,
us IN rheumatism, Inflammation of the
muscles from OverwOrk, or OF the
bones In bighead, or OF the feet in
founder. or II the muscles are stiff
and beyond control of the animal. as
in lOckjaw, a standing position is main-
tained, because the horse seems TO
realize that when he lies down he will
be unable TO rise. a horse with collie
may sit upon his launches. like dog
or may stand upon his hind feet and
rest upon his knees in front, or he
his back. with all four feet in the air.
These positions are assumed because
they give relief from pain by lessen
ing pressure or tension upon the sen.
sitlve structures.
BY observing the condition Of nutri-
tion one may be able to determine TO
a certain extent the effect that the dis
ease has already had upon the animal
and 90 estimate the amount Of strength
that remains and that will be available
for the repair Of the diseased tissues.
4 good condition is shown by rOtuu-
dity Of the body, pliability and soft
ness Of the skin. and the tone OF the
hair. When the. bony prominences
stand out, the skin is tight and inelas-
tic, and the coat dry and harsh, low
state Of nutrition is indicated. This
may have resulted from a severe and
long-continued disease or from lack OF
proper feed and care. When an ami
NAL becomes thin, there is first loss
Of fat and later the muscles shrink.
The amount of shrinkage in the mus
cles Is an indication OF the duration OF
the unfavorable conditions under which
the animal has lived.
