8 — CONNERCIAL AND FINANCIAL After OpcningA Strong Yesterday Wheat Weakened on Free Selling. VISIZLE SUPPLY STATEMENT THE CAUSE Corn Recelpts Were Under the Fatimate and that Combined with the Early Strongth in Whent Caused s ¥irm Opening. Cuicaco, Jan, 8.—1t was a whip-saw mar ket today. After opening strong and ad- vancing about lge today on strong cables. light receipts and the expectation of & big decrease in the visible supply, wheat weak- ened and slid down 1}5c on free selling, in- duced by the disappointingly small decrease In the visible supply. May Wheat closed J5¢ lower and May corn Jge lower. Oats wer unchanged, provisions considerably higher all sround. ; Wheat began the day with the conditions favorable to the holders. The crowd was eager to buy, and for the fivst half hour offer- ings were scarce, May opened 'ge higher at G7l4c and soon climbed to 6. The cold weather which was supposed to be doing deadly work in the unprotected winter wheat fields, was onc of the causes of the ear firmness fpts were light. Chicago received but 5% cars against 414 a year ago, and Minneapolis and Duluth reported but 372 cars compared with 020 on the cor- responding day lust year, Foreign markets wezo also playing in the bull band. Cabl were higher all around, but the main cause of the firm feeling was b expectation of a marked decrease 1n today's visible supply report. Until that was posted the bulis were jubilant. When the returns were complete the report showed that the visible decreased 275,000 bu. Then the bears inning came, August rosseau, Nat Jone: Frank Dunn and other buyers turned sellers. The oxport clearances were rather smaller. Baltimore, which was expected to show liberal exports, cleared none. This added to the weakness, and May continued to decline until it had lost 1igc. Au the low figures, however, good demand was developed, causing a reaction, but the uncertainty re garding the government report to be issied during the afternoon caused more seHing and May closed but }¢c above the bottom Hures of the day. May opened <t 671c. advanced ¢, declined 1i¢c, rallied ige, lost ige and reacted e to close at 66%c. Corn receipts were unaer the estimate and that, combined with the <arly #irmness of whedat caused a firm opening fn_ the corn pit. The visible supply increased 1,204,000 bu. and with the slump in wheat declined, with but a slignt rally at the elose. May opencd at 889;¢. advanced ko, dropped }g¢ and re- ncted 'ge to the close at 88%7c, but J¢ above the bottom fizures of the day. Oats opened firmer, infiuenced by the early strength of wheat and corn, but under the depressing nfluence of the late weak- ness in wheat and increase of ),000 bu, in the visible supply the gain was lost. May opened 1gc higner at ke, sold off ¢ and rallied Jgc, toclose at yesterday's closing figures. Provisions were strong, with packers buy- Ing, and on hog receipts less than the esti- mate and an savance of 10c in the prices. Baldwin, Faraum, Armour & Co., and Swift & Co. bought freely and shorts did covsider- able covering. Free offerings caused tem- porary reactions, but closing prices were not far from the day’s top prices. Compared with lust night May pork is 37! c higher; May lard, 17igc higher; May ribs, 7ijc bigher. foatimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 185 cars; corn, 750 cars; oats, 820 cars; hogs, 27,000 heaa. “F'ne leading futures ranged as follows: “Articles.

New Yonrk, Jan. 8.—~The upward move- ment of speculative values, which set in with such buoyancy Saturday, received a check today. The higher range of values induced realizations at the opening of business and the short interest, which had covered largely at the close of last week, saw in these sales an opportunity to renew their lines. Councerted attacks were therefore made on Sugar, Western Union, the grangers, nota- bly St. Paul, the leading industrials, pa ticularly Sugar, and some of the specialties The market did not give way without a struggle, and several shares that were at- tucked were very strongly supported. Sugar was most prominent and in the finul deal- ings advanced steadily under heavy buying, despite the persistent hammering of the bears. Whnile London was a seller of Paul local traders were buyers,and it was not until lute in the afternoon that the stock gave away appreciably, the final sale being made at o decline from Suturday of 1% per cent. Reports that the January earpings of the grangers would compare fuvorably with the same period of last year, owing to bud weather at that time, stimuluted the buying in these stocks during the moraing. Rock Island sold up 2% per ccnt, Northwestern 14 per cent. Burlington 1 per cent and St Paul & Omaba 1}¢ per ceut, but in the ge eral depression of tho afternoon the greater part of the improvement was lost in Nort western, Kook [sland and Omuha.while Bu ceded % per cent below Saturduy's The bull pool in Western Union OMAHA DA TUESDAY, .

Distilling company shares moved up, with | occasional reactwns, ¢ per eont, of which it lost only half in, the subsequent transac: tions. The anndtmebment of a victory for General Electric in an important patent suit induced purchases of the company’s stock. and caused a gaim of !y per cent, which was warmly contested by'the boars, who fought the rise and caused many reactions during the upward moyement. The top figure was not reached until feat 2 o'clock, and during | the nour followingn less of 1'y per cent was made, i per centof the advance being re- tained. fimhlihx was in bad odor by reason of the unfavorable showing made by the an. | nual report published this morning. The general list moved irregularly, and, while the tone at the close was wealk for the ¢ market, soveral shares recorded an advance on the closing sales of Saturday. The Post says: After the furious pace set by the advance in Saturday's stock market, there was some reason to expect a sharp downward reaction today. Such a reaction came, but not until the afternoon, and hardly 1n demoralizing shape. At the open- ing there was another sharp general ad- vance, in which Rock Island and the Van- derbiit stocks particularly scored material gains, This movement was not, howevel gencral throughout the market, and it was offset by heavy sales in Reading, Louisville and one or two other stocks and by obvious selling in Western Union by last week's speculative buyers. Although the indus- trial stocks were bid up later with some effect, these vealizing sales extonded gener- ally throughout the market up to the clos with a consequent lower range of prices. ‘The following are the closing quotations on the leading stocks on the New York ex- change tod Atehison Adums Alton.

Moxpay, Jan, 8 Receipts of both cattle and sheep today were considerably better than on New Year's day, but the run of hogs was unaccountably short, Saturday's sharp advance in beef cattle values wasanore than lost today. Receipts were about the same, but thore was very little inquiry from shippers, and as ecastern markets were lower, local dressed beef men insisted on taking off from 10c to 15, and the bulk of the trading was on that basis. Several loads of good to choice beeves weighing from 1,478 to 1,560 Ibs. sold at from $4.40 to §4.90, with fair to good 1,100 to 1,300-1b. steers at from £3.70 to $4.25, and fair to poor stuft at from $3.60 down to 3. The feeling was weak and the market slow and dull throughout. Nothing in the situation, nowever, was calculated to make sellers bullish, ‘and by the close the supply had practically changed hands The weakness in the fat cattle market was in strong contrast with the strength and a tivity in the mavket for butchers and can- ners stock. The supply of cows was com paratively light, less thin 20 per cent of the receipts. Dealers were all er cow stufl and as aresult the meager offerings soon chauged hands at prices all of 10¢ higher than Saturday all around. Good to choice fat cows and heifers sold freely at from & to £3.00, while common and canning grades were easily disposed of at from §1.75 to §2.25. The bulk of the fair to good butchers’ cows went at around #2.40 to §2.80. Calves at from $2 to & woere fully steady and the same was ue of rough stock generally at from §1.90 1o $4. There was not much doing in stockers and feeders, but that little was on the basis of casier prices. (Good to choice feeders aro quoted at from $3 to §3.60, fair to good at from 2,75 to $3, and lighter, common grades at from $2.70 down. Representative sales: DRESSED BEEF. r.

Frult a Prevent ns Well as a Corrective of Many Ills. Few people soem to give any thought to the appropriateness of food to the sea- son of the year. Regardless of consid erations of health they sclect what are known as seasonable dainties and in- dulge themselves in these, often never thinking that they may be doing some- thing that will lay the foundation for a long train of ills.” With the coming of cold weather many people remain o great deal 1ndoors, oceupying rooms which are often kept at a high temper- ature and with, of course, very much less fresh air than they are accustomed to during warmer weathe This has a tendency 10 create a feverish condition that shouid be counter- acted by a free indulgence in feuits of all available sorts. For such purposes there is nothing b 1 good apples eaten raw, says the New York Ledger. 'The house holder may imagine a barrel of this in- valuable fruit a rather expensive invest- ment, but it is much eheaper than a doc- tor’s bill and might save many hours of illness and anxiety. Tf children were permitted to cat ‘all the fresh apples they craved throughout the winte there would be fewer diseases and s, while for adults, those who are ly quiet habits and who remuin indoors a great deal, there is nothing in the whole range of food products as useful. It is claimed that severe cases of gont and other rheumatic difficulties may bo entirely cured by a free use of apples. Certainly wien this distressing com Jlaint can be either cured or relieved by such a delightful remedy, it scemsas pity that it is not more in'general use. In the absence of apples, raw potatoes, eaten with a little salt, are a most cellent correetive of bad humovs, They rank next to apples in value, and many. children arve extremely fond of them. An emiient lawyer of this country claims to owe his excellent health largely to the habit of eating raw pota- toes with salt. Whenever he feels feverish or ont of condition, this is his medicine, and for years ho has taken no other, Baked apples, apple-sauce, apples fried and apple batter puddings are among the most delicious of dishes, It they were extremely difficult to obtain and required the services of a Fronch cook they would be considered among the delivacies of life, but, like many anather good gift, t are 50 easily to be had that they ave ranked among” the commons and receive far less considora- tion than they deser Oranges, lemons, grape fruit, pinoapples in theie season and all slightly acid fruits arve valuable for people of Sedentary habits, Almost all persons might improve their health if they would but give a little u tention to some of the most simple of nature’s laws, and when this boon is so cheaply purchased the wonder is that iv is 80 much neglected.
