wheat nn easy start and Slay commenced
V lower at 72e. Whllo the opening price
expressed th opinion of the majority , there
vvns , however , nn Influential minority that
thought the concession In prlco a valuable
opportunity to posses" themjolvos ot some
wheat nnd May quickly recovered from the
opening dTllne and In less thnn an hour
had touched ' " \ic. The buying that woke
up the shorts and disturbed their confidence1
in low ot prlc-cs emitlargelv from the
northwest and was brought about by u sen-
mtlonnl drop In the temperature In the
llrltlsh Possessions , 20 degrees below zero
IK Ing reported from Winnipeg. The rcetlpts
here and In the northwest were liberal , 110
oars nt Chicago .ind 471 at Minneapolis and
Dulilth
The clearances ot wheat and ( lour from
Atlintlo ports amounted to 422,000 bu Rrad-
fUreflt's report ot lr.Sr > ,000 bu reduction In
tlie world's visible did not iffect the mnt-
Kct lo any great extent. The holiday to
morrow appeared to bo feared by the
Bliorls , nnd nlthough there was some dis
position to soil nt over 73c for Mny It was
minted back again when nny stand was
jnndo by the holders. Near the end the
market was Mibjeetcd to a little of the
Immmerlng process so dear to the heart of
the old-time scalpers , and under It Mny
wheat was pounded to 72 0 It took onlj a
moderate show of re cntment on the pnrt
ot the bulls , however , to jump the market
to 73Mc , , where It closed.
The threatened reinstatement of winter
noutlier with increased consumption us one
of Its consequences strengthened eoin. Re
ceipts \\vr-f large , 1,035 cars , but reported
falling off In farmers' deliveries on account
of the previous decllno In ptlces prevented
further selling of long corn and canoed
Hhorts to go cautious May opcnou 'MB

The oats mnrkct traveled under the su
pervision of the other grains. Receipts were
lieavj , 5C7 cars. May began unchanged at
C7V-C , sold sparingly at 2.f(27 ( jc , rose to
27Ic and elos d at 27r-8c , sellers.
A halt In the deliveries of hogs on their
urcvlous enormous sales strengthened pro
visions. Pork nnd ribs were nt times quite
buovnnt on buying by packing concerns ,
but Inrd vvns relatively heavy throughout
on account of scattered selling by commis
sion houses An improvement in the de
mand for cash meats was a helping Inllu-

NEW YORK , Feb 21 As a result of to
day's trading on the Stock exchange , the
standard shares were generally off fr.ictlon-
nlly , whllo the colers Improved matcilnlly ,
the advance In Jersey Central being about
I points , while changes In the industrials
are mixed. The specialties and the indus
trials showed pronouneed strength In the
early dealings , then became feverish , with
alternate , d'splays ' of weakness and stiength.
The continental nnd London markets
showed some llrmnesis. after the early dealIngs -
Ings , partly Influenced by the' Bank of Ger
man's reduction of the rate of discount.
Commission hou c buying was large In the.
early dealings , but , excepting the Indus
trials , changes were not notable Tobacco
continued iti up\vaul movement until a
lumor was disseminated tnat the short In
terest hnd iccelved Intlmat'om1 that a pri
vate scttl ° ment of their short commitments
could be arranged without recouise to the
open market. Tobacco , on the circulation of
these reports , dropped over 11 points from
Its high llgure , 17U , ending with a. net loss
of a fraction The punishment which np-
par ntly hnd been meted out to the shorts
in Tobacco caused nn uneasy feeling ninong
those with short commUnipnts In Sugar ,
which was retlocted in covering' from time
to tlmo with n resultant pise at one time
of 4 points , the greater p irt of which was
subsequently lost. The declarations of the
regular dividend on Leather preferred lifted
the prlco over 2 points , most ot which It
lost. Intimations that the steamship mall
subsidy bill might become a law benefited
Pacific Mall 1'4 points Consolidated Gas ,
Metropolitan Street Rnllway and General
Electilo rhowed strength at times , but fell
off with the rest of the market during the
profit-taking period In the afternoon. The
strength of the anthracite coalers was at
tributable. to ejkp'ctatlons In some quarters
of an announcement presently of a com
bination among the companies foi restrict
ing the production nnd maintenance. Great
Northern preferred made an extreme ( tain
of 3 % points and Third Avenue. 5U
The large speculation In the Industilnls
was In a way responsible for this , on the
evp of a holidav. for some railways fell off
pen < 'd"rably with a slight recovery In some
shares , but the market closed rather heavy.
London was a moderate purchaser on bal-
arces and the totnl dealings In the local
market were smaller than \esterday , al
though thev were In excess ot 900.000 shares.
The demand for railway mortgages vrns less
urgent today , but prices In the main showed
considerable nrmno's. Total sales , $3900,000.

Th Commerelnl Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says. The markets
hero had n hcnlthv tone today , but they
wore not nctlve , although the settlement
was less of nn Impediment this time than
last night. The rsductlon by the Bank of
B&rlln of its rate of discount from o to 4's
per cent , helped to the cheerfulness Amcr-
ienus opened excellent and were very ac

CATT E Today's receipts looked very
small ns compared with one , two nnd three
weeks ago. Of the cattle here twenty-one
loads wore consigned direct to packers und
were not offered on the market at all. The
number of cattle actuxllj on sale was
therefore very small. The fee-ling on the
market was greatly improved and operators
are beginning to talk that if shippers to ail
the mailcets of the country will only use
good Judgment in withholding supplies for
a few days the market will soon get back
Itt > lost sttenirth
Buyers were out reasonably early this
morning with the evident Intention of do
ing b'usliicBS and they bought up about all
the cornfed steerb in good season and at
prices that were a little stronger than
prevailed yesterday. Salesmen found it a
good deal easier to get the price than
yesteiday and the general cone to the
maiKtt was more satisfactory than for
several days pabt. There was nothing very
choice among the offerings , so that tne top
did not show up so very well.
Cows and helieis weie ulwj In good de
mand and the market strong ns compared
with yesterday. The movement was fairly
active , and as there were only a few here
the buyeis weie not long In effecting a
clearance Bulls also sold at good , steady
to strong prices
There was not much change in the stocker
and feeder tiade. Desirable thin cattle that
had had no corn were scarce and feeder
buyers had to content themselves mostly
with waimcd-up stuff. Representative

HOGS The heavy detllno In provUlons
yesteiday prepared everyone for n bad hog
market today , but what everjone expects
Buldom comes true The talent seemed to
come to the conclusion that the break ! n
provisions was only an attempt to shakeout
out Urn shorts In provisions and that It
VVB- ) hardly a legitimate decline , llowe-vci.
the most potent Inlluonee vvaa the fuel thit
the receipts of hogs nt all the market points
thla morning were way below expectations
ror thcho reasons the expected decline In
hogs was not so largo as was anticipated
At this point the best hogs sold close to
steady with other kinds about 2'lo loner.
The demand was pretty fair t the de
cline noted und the most of the hogs old
eailj. Light and light mixed loads sold
largely at $3 45fr3 47Vi .ind the heavier loads
at $3.171 5(150 ( , with some prlmo heavy at
} 357'i which vva 2hc higher than was
paid for anything yesterday , but they were
better hoga
It will be noted from the table given
above that the hogs sold today nt tha low
point of the month so far. H might bo
added that the hogn also kold nt the lowest
point touched since January 9 , when the
average price- paid for till the hogs on thin

Her. Kindly i > crnilt mo through 'Iho ' col
umns of jour paper to mldrcss a fo\v wonls
of warning find entreaty to the members ot
cur legislature now In eesslon nt Lincoln.
A sehool ot honllng that Is now. but vig
orous , hwlthy , clean nnd wonderfully sue-
cojwful , Is asking for poruil&slon to practice
In our stntp. If osteopathy" becomes legal In
Nebraska , It will not , It Is true , liavo the
lionor of be'lng flrnt of the sttitcH to give It
such recoKiiltlon , for alrtudy It Is rewgnlzed
In several of the slates nnd man ) thousands
whwso condition \\ns declare 1 hoiielfn by
Iho schools cf medlclno have been restored
to health through Its agency As i matter
of course tliej have nut with the constant
opposition of the so-called regular ph ) si-
clans or old ei-nool Unit schc ol that from
tlmo Inimomorlil has prnctlccd , together
with man } eclf-confi'j-scd medical nl urdl-
tles , the to them consistent "dog In manner"
policy.
1 sco that , true to their oldtimepolicy
ot obstruction , the allopaths of Omaha .and
the htato have determined to oppcso by
every means in their power the wofitiltlon
of ostcoimthy In Nebraska. They have
failed in tholr opposition * to tv > mo other
schools Utttt clew slicecssfulb cotnpcto with
thorn for public patronage under stile' recog
nition , and If they should succeed 111 defeat'
Ing the proposed measure now before- tin
legislature It is nevertheless certain that
some- Nebraska legislating will add froali
laurels to the brow of advancing nnd en-
llKhteiied freedom by opening our doors U
the exponents of druglet healing.
U Is not to bo wondered nt that great
masses of the people In this land and other
lands bcjond the mms have lost faith in
drugs nnd medication , for the fact Is too np.
pal cut to ordltiarj minds that more peopU
die from eve > rmeillcatlon than from disease *
This Is admitted by leading phslclnna
Gentlemen of the legislature , the oppo
sition to this druglcss , but eminently suc
cessful , method of healing conns from a
school tint of nil others lias least claim
ill on > our nttcntlon for this reason that
there- are constant and widespread differ
ences ot opinion as to drugs and their lisa
amongst those would-bo monopolists of the
honllng ( ' ) art Hven das , in our city nnd
every other city from the Atlantic to Pacific
ana f i om the lakes to the gulf , Id the weak
ness and unscientific character of the old
school system demonatintcd by the haphaz-
zard application of menus nnd gl irlng luck
of uniformity In methods of treatment.
"Doctors differ and patients die. " That old
saw has constant IlltsTatlon , to which the
occupantu of the graveyard bear silent testi
mony , for a largo number ot the. Inhabi
tants of our citloa of the dead have hnd
mc-dlcatfcsi of that kind before leaving.
Recognition of ceteopathj or of an > other
pathy by the state does not make It obliga
tory upon nny of its cltlrons to employ it
or them wo still have the freedom of oholco
and I full to ceo why a wchool ot inecllclno
which claims so much for Itself SB allopathy
should bo so anxious to keep out other
echools , except for the ono reason that It
would mean certain reduction In their own
receipts That Is n kind of protection that
the dear people , I am Fitlsllcd. do not want.
If the people of tiho etnte , the lay or nonprofessional -
professional cltlrcus , In any reasonable pro
portion , sought lo influence jour .action It
would bo proper to listen to their petition
and , poEglbly , grant it , but when the protect
comas from a tow , who simply look for pro
hibitive legislation in their own favor , the
case is altered.
A system that Is not willing to enter into
competition with others on a frco field and
n3 favor basis Is a system that evidently
lacks confidence In Itself , and consequently
should not be listened to
I am simply A layman , with no ax to
grind. I claim the rlijlit to use any system
of medication 01 none at all. Just as } e lect.
No piactltlcncr of any school can have
anything like the interest that I have In.
my individual health and life In Oils
progressive age , whea old methods and ap
pliances ore being discarded in all dcpa-t-
ments of human activity. It is not surp-lB-
ing that there bo Improvement in therapeu
tics JuBt as In other things Let us have
progress by all tncaiB If the old bottles
"aro not strong cnoiiph to contain the new
wine without bursting , then discard the bottle
tle Clrcumpsjcrlptlon In nny school or de
partment of thaught Is detrimental to
healthy growth and sooner or later will
have to go down or be satisfied to see the
new wine of advancing thought In other ,
newer bottles Let us have an "open
door" policy to all systems nnd practitioners
wh3 have for their aim and have demon
strated their ability to secure the delivei-
anco of humanity from the ills tlmt flesh la
