There were several alternating periods
stock market, but the general tendency
in the industrial list was reactionary,
and few specialties were distinctly
weak.
tails held fairly well and few Issue
We're strong. Rails, as group. showed
more stability than the other depart
ments.
Sentiment is still favorable to the mar
ket. There Is a substantial public feel
ing, and every moderate recession is fol-
lowed by an increasing demand from
commission houses.
The market shows distinct irregularty.
1t Is becoming two sided, and the selling
Is more aggressive than heretofore.
These conditions undoubtedly result
from the technical position of the mar
ket as there can be little doubt but that
the public account has been enlarged
to such an extent as to almost warrant
the term over extension. 49,.
With this advantage, we have an easy
banking situation. There are no such
banking problems before us AS we had
a few years ago.
The tendency of business now Is to-
ward improvement. where two years ago
II was toward contraction. But making
full allowance for these favorable points,
the fact remains that the advance has,
to q very great extent If not entirely,
discounted this and is therefore In a
less favored position to meet unfayorable
developments
We feel that we have reacArd a point
where conservatism is called for and
there liz ample Justification for the
gradual marketing Of long stocks.

Wheat-World shipments of wheat and
the amount on passage today showed u
considerable decrease from previous fig
ures. Despite this, the English markets
are bare Of demand and parcels of Mani
TOBIAS and Plates are offered freely. The
immediate domestic situation still argues
for lower prices in that the visible de-
creases are insignificant, while the south
western markets continue shipping to
Chicago in goodly volume. The demand
for cash wheat here Is little slow, for
the reason that elevator space is becom
ing crowded. The market is beginning to
resist anticipation of lower prices, for
the reason that 1t has underlying it the
probability of a general foreign absorb
tion Of the growing crop. There Will
likely be an unimportant market tomor-
row. Everyone will be awaiting the Gov
eminent report, which will issue at 2 10
p. M, Chicago time
Corn and oats-The visible supply of
both corn and oats continues to decrease,
and the daily receipts are in good de-
are predicted which will further delay
spring work. The seahoard says there is
good inquiry and some business from
abroad. particularly where heavy oats can
be secured. You will note that values are
holding relatively steady without any
particular item Of news and even when
wheat is declining. This leads to the as
sumption hat any change in the char
acter Of the news might advance prices.
Provisions Realizing sales appeared in
the early lard market. but encountered n
demand which had the appearance of
larger packers Receipts of hogs at
western points were in excess of last
year. but the market here was quite
strong.

Trading was active during the early
forenoon hours. and practically all of
the receipts had been sold before the
close OF the forenoon.
Both shippers and packers took their
usual quotas.
There was a rather slow demand for
cattle, and prices were weak to 10M25c
lower. Receipts were rather large at
1,200, and this factor offset the strength
ening effect that the good quality Of
stuff offered otherwise would have had.

and helfers at steady prices, but the de
mands were soon supplied and prices
weakened. Very few cattle moved at
these prices.

mand Chief Market Factor.

CHICAGO, May 8.-Grain prices were
strong at the close of the Chicago Board
Of Trade today after being weak during

wheat rallied on short coverings.
There was sharp decrease in the visi-
Bile supply Of corn.
Provisions were irregular.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
pr ominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
