CORN TRADING
LIGHT in VIEW
OF UNEASINESS
Sharp CurtaIment Shown in Vol
ume Of Business as Result of
Conditions.

Chicago, ILL.,. Aug. S.-Sharp cur
tailment in the volume of trading
was the most evident feature today
on the board of trade. So much I'M
certainty existed as to industrial
and economic possibilities that a de-
cided inclination was manifested to
keep dealings on a minimum basis
and to reduce outstanding risks.
Opening prices, which ranged from
the same as yesterdays finish to
1ssc lower, with September $1.Se
to $1.S6A, and December $1.49 to
$3.50. were followed by continued
weakness in the new crop deliver
les and by the virtual wiping out of
transient gains in September.
Later, the price of the September
delivery bulged again as a result
of renewed covering by shorts, and
there were sympathetic rallies also
in other months. The government
crop report this afternoon was ex-
pected to prove bullish. Quotations
closed nervous. nc to &C net high
er, with September at 1881 to

151A.
In provisions, covering byshorts
helped subsequently to make values
recover.
Oats reflected corn conditions.
After opening &c OF to y C advance
including September at nc to TN,
the market hardened a little, but
then underwent q moderate decline.
Dealings in provisions were al
most at a standstill. Quotations
were nominally lower owing to alb
sence Of support.

SELL BUILDING
And CLOSE UP
THEIR BUSINESS
Wells & Carroll bought Out by
Times Record After Long and
Successful Career.

With the disposal of their store
building on South College avenue
to the Times Record Publishing
company for the round sum of $780,
600. Wells & Carroll, hardware
men, will probably terminate a
business built up here in "a years.
The deal involving the transfer
OF the building was contaminated,
although not announced, last Sat
urday. The new owners are to
take possession Jan. 1, Of next
year.
Over "a years ago the Wells
brothers, ]. A. and W. K, founded
the hardware store in this city, al
though not at the present location.
About nine years ago last Febru-
airy j. A. Wells withdrew from the
firm and became prominent in the
First National bank of which in
stitution he is now president Be
fore that time, however. the site
now occupied was purchased by
the concern and the business well
established therein.
Upon Mr.. Wells withdrawal, C.
P. Carroll, who for years had been
connected with the grocery bust
ness here, became a partner in the
business with the other brother.
Since that time the concern has
been in operation under the firm
name Of Wells G. Carroll
Sale OF the structure involves
disposal of a two-story brick build
ing with basement and lot Sc by
120 feet fronting on the first block
of South College avenue and a
tract "a by 55 feet and brick garage
on the alley just west of
the rear of the store building. The
structure is sometimes called the
Union hall.
A business steadily. increasing in
volume, with a corresponding ne
cessity for large quarters, is given
as reason for purchase by the
company. Removal
to its new location will mark the
fourth change in the last p years.

utilities board last night, from be-

night.
Two courses were said 10 be
open, one the forfeiture OF the
surface line franchise on the
ground that in instituting the new
fares it violates it contract with
the city for cent fares; the other
injunction proceedings in court.

swine DISEASES
ARE EXPLAINED
Many Stock Growers Get Intimate
knowledge of Methods of Curb
ing Epidemic Now Prevalent.

approximately two hundred fifty
swine breeders, farmers and yeter-
inarians gathered in Central park
in this city yesterday and listened
and watched with interest as a
post-mortem was conducted over
five diseased pigs by DR.. H. R.
Schwartze, hog expert OF the Uni
versity of illinois,.
DR.. Schwartze came in the place
Of DR.. Robert Graham, who at the
last minute was forced to abandon
the trip here due to illness.
The pigs, donated by farmers who
attended the meeting, were infect
ed with various hog diseases which
are now prevalent throughout Mer-
Ger county and surrounding terri
tory. After being slaughtered the
animals were dissected by DR..
SchwarLze. who showed the various
organs diseased and described their
appearance under healthful condi-
lions.
The speaker advised clean quar-
tiers and feed as the best proven
tive for the sicknesses. In early
stages treatment Of bacterin has
proven beneficial. In advanced
stages there is no hope to save the
hog and prompt killing should take
place. The remains should be
burned at once to prevent all spread
of the infection and the remainder
of the hogs sterilized and removed
to clean and sanitary quarters.
One farmer brought out the dis
covery that the hog diseases might
be communicated to sheep. He de-
clared that his hogs had taken ill
and that shortly afterward various
animals of a flock of nearby sheep
died, apparently from a similar all
ment. Dr. Schwartze stated that
this was possible if the sheep had
come into contact with the infected
hogs or infected quarters. He said
that sheep were much more difficult
to treat than swine, hence urging
extreme precautions to be taken by
farmers and breeders having af-
1icted swine herds.
P. S. Richey, county farm advisor,
spoke briefly on the purpose and
results accomplished at the board
IF directors meeting of the Illinois
association in Chicago
at which Mr.. Richey at
ended.
