Chicago. After advancing sharp

m market hesitated for 24 hours last
wek and then slipped back to ap
proximately Ita former level, where
It held fairly steady for several days,
Toe market ror the next week or
mo, according to the trade here, Is
largely a weather proposition as the
ration and effect of the present
4tna snap la entirely problematical
M e coia weatner should last a
jvmllo. receipts at stations porbably
would alump, they say, and a firmer
fondency might be expected to fol
low. It seems to be the general
lnlon thai the market of the next
two months will be largely a weather
proposition right straight through,
Jt many of the larger operators
agree In their ideaa of a good May
mnd early June market In view of the
lateness and short acreage of the
oatbern crop.
Up to the middle of this week the
JeUtly shipments from all sections for
he last ten days had averaged
pround S7S cara, which was above
the average of the preceding ten days
And about on a par, or perhaps a
trifle under, the dally movement for
am time Just preceding this latter
period. Late In the week the ship
ments showed a decrease, because of
weather conditions, but the effect of
ibis decrease upon arrivals In the
principal markets would naturally
aot be felt in full until early next
week.
The demand, both here and from
the outside trade, has remained fair
ly constant but has been principally
(or bang-up good stuff as off-quality
goods moved pretty slowly. The lo
cal trade has been paying a premium

11.70 and $1.75 per cwt. New re
ceplts were reported as 67 cars with
total of 201 cars on both the inner
pad outer yards at the beginning of
the day's trading. -
There waa an active demand Wed
nesday for fancy bulk cars', resulting
In an advance of 10c on this class of
stock. All other atock was steady
and unchanged. Off-grade goods
continued hard to move at marked
reductions. New receipts were 42
can and the number of cars held
WAl unchanged. .
The market was IKtle changed as
to prlca Thursday but lighter re
ceipts and shipments gave the situa
tion a slightly better tone. Receipts
were 29 cars.
New York Market Improve
New York City. The condition of
the potato market was much better
last week than it has been for sev
eral weeks. There are practically no
accumulations in the yards and of
ferings from the country are light,
principally on account of the very
bad weather. Prices have Armed up
considerably and te outlook now Is
for a fairly good movement at
tfady prices.

big mass meeting for the purpose of
discussing the advancement of the
city. There had been speeches and
speeches and speeches galore. They
were bemoaning the fact that the sea
was twenty miles away. An eastern
er, who had listened patiently to the
blow and blow and blow of the
speakers, got up and said, "If you
gentlemen will run a large pipe from
the city hall to the sea and all of you
will get on this end of the pipe and
suck as hard as you have been blow
ing, you will bring the sea to Los
Angeles."

ARE YOU NERVOUS?
Ma be There is Cauae for It That
You Can Correct
Many who suffer from backache
and weak kidneys are unnaturally
Irritable, fretful and nervous. Not
only does constant backache "get on
the nerves." but bad kidneys fall to
eliminate all the uric acid from the
system, and uric acid Irritates the
nerves, keeping one "on edge," and
causing rheumatic, neuralgic pains.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the medicine so well rec
ommended by Alliance people. Read
this Alliance resident's statement:
Mrs. J. M. Scott, 714 Missouri
Ave., says: "Though it has been
some time since I have used Doan's
Kidney Pills, I gladly recommend
them. I have known of many peo
ple who like myself have found them
good. I suffered from kidney dlsor
ders for quite a while. I had back
ache, felt tired and languid and of
ten was very nervous. Then, too
my kidneys acted irregularly. Doan
Kidney Pills gave me relief from
these ailments."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Scott had. Foster-Milburn Co.
