CHICAGO, Miiy 10 Apprehension regard
ing the government cton report rurtiilled
trade In the wheat pit totiH and the mar
ket ruled exceedingly dull, with almost no
range. July closed a fraction lower After
n weak opening corn turned strong on m -livo
buying and July closed with 11 gain of
'.c. Oats closed tinchang'd. Provisions
ruled strong.
.More, favorable weather and lower cables
started wheat weak. A slight rally fol
lowed, hut realizing sales were met with
and the Improvenient wax only temporary.
The weak feeling In om which prevailed
tarly also had an adverse Influence, but
traders were decidedly apathetic, owing to
the near approach of the government crop
report, there being a disposition to hold oft
until the report wan made publlr and sonic,
thing was known as to the present pros
pects of the coming crop. After the Initial
Hurry the market ruled extremely dull the
remainder of the session, with the price al
most at n standstill. July opened '(.t'lC
lower at 66VP'7c, advanced to t"7'c. de
clined to 66'nc and rinsed at 67c . Chicago
received 19 ears. .Minneapolis and Duluth
got 21 carloads, compared with I Ml the cor
responding day a year ago. Atlantic port
clearances of wheat and Hour were equal
to 2I",0) 1)11.
Thero was n weak start to torn, owing
to a sharp break at Liverpool and favor
able planting weather, but several bull lead
ers came, to the support of the market,
starting an upturn. An atinounremcnl that
J.ono.OOi btl. cash corn had been sold here
for export by Interests active on the hull
side helped along the advance). Country of
ferings were very small and local Inspection
only 144 cars. July opened '.ifl'V" lower at
.TS'i' to .".S'.jc, sold nt S-S'ie. advanced to 59ft
3!'r and closed n .ISM-GOt-.
Oats ruled firm but dull. Crop reports
were favorable and shipping demand fair.
Receipts were only 8 cars. July opened Ufr
'Jo lower at H's'filK'ilic. advanced to 22"',
22T and closed at 22c.
A good shipping demand for oash meats
and small receipts of hogs strengthened
provisions. Trade was active, with general
Inlying by packers, but the advance was
nil lost near the close on prollt taking. July
ipork opened unchanged nl.fll.iV, declined to
II.W, ndvnnccd to Jll.S2',i and soli! on to
111.65 at the close. July lard opened 2'co
higher at 16.90, rased off to J(!.S7'4, ail

did In fact have a strong Inlluence on
sentiment. It was a forcible reminder of
the feats which have found expression for
somo time In Wall street, that the reaction
In the Iron market and In ceneral business
would lend to a falling u(T In railroad earnings.
A continuance of liibnr cIImIciiIiIcm nt var-
lous points caused some continued uneasi
ness and the bears professed apprehension
over the pessimistic tone of Lord Salis
bury A sneecb last nleht. Onlte llhernl
buying for Indnn account served to coun
teract tho last-named argument, the arbi
trage houses estimating the buying for
London nccount as h ch as to.ooo shares.
Rut the most effective succor for the bears
camo from a break of over 5 points In To
bacco and of persistent heaviness In Sugar.
I'rices very generally drifted hacK to last
night's level, or helow. but during the day
the pressure of liquidation became depressive.
The absence of nressure nromnted some
of the small pools to reume operations,
notably that in Missouri Pacific, and that
stork was bid up during the day nearly
two points. The covering of short contracts
gave notable strength also to the Atchl-
sons, tne parities and IyOiilsvllle. tup up

as marked ns In other Mocks. American
Steel and Wire led the movement, berth Its

resented In the board of directors.
The bond marked cenerallv Improved to
day on nccount of the easier money con
ditions reflected In the favorable weekly
reports of the Government banks of Eng
land. France nnd flermany. This was espe
cially true of the Rerlln market, where the
iron and eonl stocks have suftered ncuieiy
from fears of American competition owing
to the reported decrease In consumption
here. There was some slight apprehension
that gold might go out on Saturday to
Ena-land In resnonso to yesterday s In-
ereuaed nnylng price for American eagles.

Comnerelsl Advertiser's Iondnn financial
cablegram; There were wenlt spots In the
markets here today, but taken as a whole
tho markets wero harder. The cheering In
fluences wero tho news of General Roberts'
continued advance nnd the good bank re
turn. "Rear" operators were disposed also
to closo before tho settlement, particularly
their commitments In mines. Funds, how
ever, continued to droop, affected adverse
ly by the money outlook. Americans opened
firm, tho low level nt which they stood
yesterday attracting fair purchases, but
New York made only slight response to tho
rise hero nnd tho close was undecided,
nnltimore & Ohio reacting especially.
Tlntos were off owing to the weakness
In Conner, while Anacondas rose to New
York parity. The bank received .CfiO.Oon
gold from Norway nnd lost 10.000 to South
America. Rills and call money were In
clined to be easier. The bank did a fair
business In discounts. There was less talk
of crold shipments from America, despite
the halfpenny rise In the buying nrlre or
carles, as It Is thought that the Rank of
England will not pay Interest on gold in
transit. Silver was 27 9-16d at the close on
Indian coinage orders.

tically everything changed hands In good
season nnd the pens wore cleared. It might
not do out or place 10 reseat what wns
said yesterday regarding this market being
In excellent shape considering the liberal
receipts nnd thn way cattle are selling in
other markets.
Cows and heifers were In rood demand.
ns hns been the case all the week, and the
supply, which was not larce. was soon ex
hausted. As was the case with beef steers
tho mnrket wns strong and upon the whole
entirely satisfactory to sellers, Hulls sold
In nbout the same notches ns yesterday.
Stockers and feeders were In Rood demand
today and prices oin not snow any material
chango so far as steers are concerned.
Stock helfera are not quite so strong as
they were, ns they have been coming a
moro freely of late. Representative

riorr Orlnln A5'lneH Praia 1'lunrr In
CnnlnKlnn.
Prof. Henry Skinner of Philadelphia. In
concluding his series of lectures before tha
Academy of Natural Sciences, spoke on
"Insects as AeMologlcal Factors In Dis
ease." "Insects." said the professor, "may bo
dixided Into those that bile and those that
sting. This division only applies to a -ery
small number of tpccles that arc Injurious
In this respect. The stinging insects belang
to tho order Hymenopter., which Includes
tho bees and wasps. The biting Insects are
principally the llcmlptera, or bugs, and
tho Dlpter.-. or flies. It Is only very ram
Instnncea that untoward results follow thf
bite or sting of an Insect, although several
deaths have been reported. When such re
sults follow It Is either duo to the poor phy8
Ical condition of tho Individual bitten or to
the nccldcntnl Introduction of poisonous
bacteria Into the wound, which may cause.
-eptlcacmla or other grave diseases. Thn
poison thnt tho Insect Injects Into a wound
Is add In character so that the remedies
used nre usually nlkallea, such as dlltlta am
monia, sodium carbonate or potaaslum
Iodide. Tho eulphllo and hyposulphite of
sodium aro also very useful
"Spiders nro nearly all harmless, thero
being but onr species found In the northern
slates that bites. Wo have several speclta
of stinging caterpillars, which produce irri
tation of tho skin similar to the offeet of
the nettle weed. The bugs Melanoleste
plclpes and Reduvlus pcrsanatus do bite se
verely If handled, but never seek the Hps
of human beings.
"Insects arc held responsible for convey
ing bacteria nnd protozoa nnd diseases llko
malaria, relapsing fever, bubonic plague,
typhoid fever, yellow fever, purulent oph
thalmia, and others of a llko character aro
undoubtedly distributed In this way. They
can transport tho cause cf disease upon their
bodies, and Infect whatever they alight
upon. By means of their mouth parts thny
can Inoculnte thn dlscnso producing organ
ism as certainly as tho surgeon Inje-ts
medicine with n hypodermic syringe, and In
n similar way. They can also distribute
disease by means of their excreta nnd by
serving as nn Intermediate host for tho
development of tho life cycle of ce-taln dls-case-produrlng
organisms.
"The feet and mouth parts of lnnots am
admirably adapted for carrying bacteria.
The vegetable organisms are responsible for
a number of dlseasco. as ninny of thesn
little plants nro only nbout one-twenty-flve-thousandths
of nn Inch In length, nnd a fly
could pick up a great number on Its feet.
Files have been known to die of bubonic
plague, and If such a fly Is crushed und tho
crushed material bo Injected Into a mouso
the mouse will sicken and die of plague,
n-a hnca a1n take un nlaguo bacilli and re
tain them some days. The bacillus of this
disease has also been found in thf fleas on
diseased rats. Files are unaom.ie.uy
cause or means of conveying typhnld fever,
especlaly In military camps. They settle
. m - 11-.--!.-. nmA 4fl In In"
on the excreta ot p.nirin nu j
mesa tent nnd infect the food.
"Somo observers hold that mosquitoes are
thn sole means of distributing the Plasmo
am m.ilnrlae. Rlgnaml. an Italian oh-
hcrver. performed n remarkable experiment.
Ho shut up a number oi mosquiioEii .i
tured In the fever-laden swamps of tho
Campagna. near Rome, in a small room In
which whk confined n man who had never
hnd malaria. The Mibjei of the experi
ment acnnlred tho disease.
"Red bugs have been known to carry dis
ease. A case Is related where a young man
died of tuberculosis. Afterward a brother
occupying the same bed died of tuberculos s.
His body wns covered with bed bug biles.
Thirty bugs were collected and were found
to contain tho bacillus tuborculnsK the
cause of consumption. A Russian observer
produced relapsing fover In monkeys by In
jecting splrochetno into them, found In tho
blood of bed bugs which had been In th.
beds of Iho fever patients. ht
evl lenre he considers as proving not nnly
evidence u ranc,r but thai It may be
ppXted by teds in which the contagion
may be prctent.
