CHICAGO. March 12.-lleavy liquidation
In wheat todny finally hnd Us effect , nnd
Mny closed % o lower thnn yesterday nnni
figures , nfter selling HO nbove that price.
Corn nnd oats' each suffered ft loss of about
Uc , nnd pork nnd lard and ribs made ir-
rcgulnr recessions.
Wheat was nervous nnd somewhat irrcg-
ulnr , covering over le range. The opening ,
Indicated that some operators feared darn
ngo to tlio plant might result from the
cold weather , nnd for nn hour or more the
prevalence of thnt Idea was seen In a grad
ual , though not very material , ndvance In
Besides there seemed to be a
the price , ,
disposition to revise previous opinions on
the government report nnd give It n bullIsh -
bearish construction. The
Ish rather thnn n
market hnd apparently been oversold yes
terday , nnd the change In sentiment caused
shorts some alarm , nnd there wns nctlve
covering for a time , which soon put 'tho '
market up about. V5c over the close yester .
day. ' At .the advance the speculative offer.
Ings Increased , one broker being reported
ns having colii 400,000 bu. , supposed to be
for a llrm Interested largely In the pacK-
tng business * , and others follo\vcd nnd sold
too. Under tha Increased offerings , n weak
feeling set In , nnd the prices were carried
flown to the lowest point. Then cnrno Becr-
bohm'a estimate of stocks In Hussln , showIng -
Ing them to be about fi.BOO.009 bu. larger
than u ycnr ngo , nnd the weakness wan
Increased. The marlcet Btentllcd up n trine
on reports of liberal quantities being ; tnken
for export , but operators felt n little sus
picious of the reliability of them , nnd the
effect wns trifling. Mny opened a shade
lower , nt from Gpjic to 61 % . advanced to
from CGc to CBtfc. pit to ftiy.c. and back
to Cl'Ac. The market during the last hour
wan but poorly supported , ami gradually
weakened , the demoralized condition of the
Hour- market having some effect , 'and May
closed weak nt C4Uc > , . .
Corn was neglected , and the business done
wan extremely light. May opened un
changed nt SOVin. and held steady under
the Influence ot light local receipts , but
later eased oft a ttllle with wheat , closing
steady ut 30'fcc. ,
Oats were slow nnd fluctuations very nar
row. An easier leeling Wns manifested In
sympathy with wheat and corn , nnd linn ]
figures show n slight ret-esslon. May opened
fractionally hlghet nt 20c. gradually cased
olT , nnd closed nt 2uic sellers.
Provisions nt the opening showed the
usual result of o plethora of hogs , and
a heavy feeling prevailed throughout the
day. General liquidation caused still fur
ther reductions , and May pork closed 15c
lower , at $9.70 ; Mny lard , 2Vic lower , at
S5.45. and May ribs , 7'/2C lower , at o.20.
Kstlmatcd receipts for Friday : Wheat , 45

SAN FRANCISCO , March 12. A myste
rlous expedition left today for Alaska. The
schooner Kxcelslpr was chartered and EC
quietly was the matter carried out that the
owners of the vessel , C. A , Hooper & Co.
know hardly anything of the plans of tin
managers.
Last year some wealthy citizens of Bostor
heard rumors of Immense gold-bearing de >
poults at Cook Inlet , and A. Fennock , an ex
perlcnced miner , was sent up to view tin
country. Pennock made a thorough searcl
for the shining metal and In his opinion hi
was successful beyond all question.
Pennock , with a few friends , at onci
measured off ten acres of land which showec
gold from tha grass roots on to bedrock
Water rights were secured and the proa
pcctora washed out a few ounces and starte <
for Boston. The gold Is both flue am
coarse , and the mint hero values It at ? 1 <
per ounce. , ,
The Boston Investor Incorporated as tl
Alaska & Boston company ana $100,000 wai
paid In , Henry B. Spaiildlne and O. T. W
Braman , the latter belftR at tha head of the
West Side electrical KfaOs , cameto this clt ;
and at once began rftenaratlons for the ex
pedltlon. _
Tlio destination ,9 ? , jtho expedition ha
been most carefully guarded , but It Is knowi
that the objective -polht Is about twent ]
miles from IlesurrectloA creek at the heac

CATTLE The receipts of cattle were
about the same as yesterday , so far ns
numbers were concerned , there being 1,338
hero todayus ngnlnst 1.391 for the previous
day nnd 1,698 on Thursday of last week.
As expected , Armour & Co.'s buyer ar
rived from Chicago nnd was on the market.
The market was In A very satisfactory con
dition nnd all grades and kinds of cattle
eold well , and the pens were cleared early.
With only fifty-eight loads of cattle of
nil kinds on sale , nnd a part of them con
sisting of butchers' Block nnd feeders , there
_ were not enough fat cattle In the yards to
"make very much of n showing. With the
demand active nnd buyers enrlv In the
saddle the offerings did not last very long ,
everything changing hnnna In good season.
It was , summed up In n few words , a
good , strong nnd active market. Among
the offerings were some right good cattle ,
and one bunch of 1,286-lb , steers brought
JUO. -
In the way of butchers' stock there was
not much In the yards to test the market.
Only eight loads of cows nnd heifers were
offered , nrfd they met with prompt sale nt
steady tg strong prices.
Stockcrs nnd feeders were also In light
supply nnd good demand , selling readily
nt fully steady prices. Representative

IS IT A TRIFLE ?
THAT COMMON TIlOUllLE , ACID DYS
PEPSIA Oil SOUR STOMACH.
Now IlccogrnUcil nn n Cause of Serious
DIUCUNC.
Acid dyspepsia , commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach , Is a form of Indiges
tion resulting from fermentation of the
food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest It , the food remains until
fermentation begins , filling the stomach with
gas , and a bitter , sour , burning taste In
the mouth Is often present. This condition
soon becomes chronic , and being an every
day occurrence , Is Riven hut little atten
tion. Because dyspepsia U not Immmcdlatcly
fatal , many people do nothing for the trouble.
It Is now well known among able phy
sicians that the whole constitution Is
gradually undermined and weakened , that
the nerves und vital organs are seriously af
fected by any form ot djspepsla. This Is
plain , as every organ , every nerve In the
body is nourished by the blood and the blood
la replenished from the food digested. If
the food Is properly digested , the blood Is
pure , the nerves steady , but If supplied from
a sour , fermenting , decaying n\na3. \ the blood
Is vitiated , poisoned , and the result Is shown
In sleeplessness , lack of energy , poor appe
tite , nervousness. Every trifle Is magnified
and the dyspeptic sees nothing but the dark
side of everything.
Wlthlm a recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. It Is known as Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets nnd It Is now be
coming rapidly used and prescribed as a
radical euro for every form of dyspepsia.
H U not claimed to euro anything except
dyspepsia and stomach weakness In Its va
rious forms , but for this it has been shown
to be unequalled. The eminent specialists ,
need and O'Leary , have recently stated that
they considered Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
an unfailing specific for disorders of the di
gestive organs , and the remarkable cures
made in caocs of long standing dyspepsia
proves that this remedy has extraordinary
merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and arc sold by
druggists everywhere at 50 cents per pack
age. It IB prepared by the Stuart Chemical
Co , , Marshall , Mich. , and whllo It promptly
nnd effectually restores a vigorous digestion ,
at the same time Is perfectly harmless and
will not Injure the most delicate stomach ,
but on the contrary by giving perfect diges
tion strengthens the stomach , Improves the
appetite and makes llfo worth living.

Onf. Dear Sir : I hnvo usad No-To-nao
and found It a complete euro. I had
smoked nnd chewed for 20 years. I had
used n 10-cent plug of chewing tobacco
every day , as well as three plugs ot smok
ing a week. My doctor told ino that to
bacco was killing me , and I tried to quit ot
my own accord , but could not cxlot without
It , After using three boxes % of No-To-Ua'a
I nm completely cured. My nerves wore a
complct wreck , but now my nerves never
trouble mo. Kor many years I could not
cat any breakfast , my stomach vns In such
a bad condition , Now I can cat as well
as any one and hnvo gained considerable In
weight , and am better physically arid men
tally than ever before , nnd I can highly
recommend No-To-Bac as a complete cure.
