CHICAGO, May 5 Slgna of rain over the
dry belt northwest helped turn wheat prices
downward today. The close waa Irregular,
varying from S under last night to 7c
ahove. Corn finished c up to "r4CV,o off,
oate without change and hog products 7Vsc
lower to 6c advance.
I he Idea that a break of the drouth was
at hand came through dispatches from
various points In South Dakota. Theae
telegrams reported the weather rloudv and
indicating a supply of n olsture soon. At
the same time millers' advices told of an
improvement during April In every Impor
tant winter crop state. The Ohio official
fig urea made the condition there 87 per
cent, against 24 a month ago and M a year
hack. All day. too, purchases wera on
foot to bring cash wheat here from un
usual sources, but In season to be avail
able for' delivery on May contracts. Borne
of the larger longs here put ail futures on
ale in consequence and there waa a de
cided reaction from earlier high prices. An
eaay ton prevailed at the dose. The day'a
lange for July . & from-MVftftftTka to Wc,
with last sales at the first named level, a
net losa of .
With planting conditions fine and the
trade expecting liberal receipts In tha near
future, corn suffered a backset. July
fluctuated -between I2c and 63fcu, closing
easy at the last named figures, a net gain
of a shade. Cash grades were firm. No. 2
yellow finished at UMaixc.
Excellent weather tor the growing crop
had a bearish effect on the market for
oats. High and low points for tha July
option were 22c and t2Vc. with the close
32S,c, Jolt the same at last night.
Heaviness was the rule In provisions. In
the end pork waa 7Ho lower to 6c up and
othef products either unchanged or averag

,ine market was hesitating with seveial
dlvetse movements. There was an sbsenc?
of sustained selling pressure which unset
prices yest-rdav and the short Intcrei-t

th" lower levels established ysterday and
at the opening stocss were quicMv forced
up 'o s point whicn showed a sus a-tlal
recove y. Buyers were not Incll ei to
follow the market on the advance and
triers a-cord-ingly fluctuated within a

Amalgnmated copper was the strong
feature of the late part of the session. A
factor contributory to the strength of this

Slli:EP There wss not niiirh xolume tn
shcrp and Isinb trsde this morning and
pil.es B'tiiaitv paid, showed a little Im
prot enent over nice of yeeterdav. Ahint
einht doubles of stock arrived, including
choice wooled lamb, shorn Isnibs snd
shorn ewe. As conipsrcd with eslerday
the general market ruled qnotshlv strong.
Mexican lambs In fleee brought the high
est price noied In many da a. H jn. and
shorn westerns moved around 14 75. of
ferings of mutton sheep were even more
limited then lamb shipments, but one con
signment of shorn ewes changed Imnds at
II tV The wether and yearling branches
of the market were practically barren.
Pally receipts this week give a total of
shout ?7,00o head, well tip to a seasonable
average Lamhs made up the hulk, a
condition of long stsndlng. snd shorn snd
wooled strings were about evenly divided
Ruslness In various classes of sheep on
itirwl days was hardly large enough to
properly try out the scale of values.
I'eniand lately has had a much better
edge than lat week and the entire trade
la closing strong to unevenly higher. Good
lambs, both wooled and shorn, claim the
long end of any advance, present prices
appearing. l."w:&c above quotations a week
sgo. Sheep of all kinds range from strong
to possibly 15c higher in snots for the
week. These margins fall to do full Jus
tice to conditions, hotverer. as Improvement
Is best reflected by more active Inquiry.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morning
were very light as usual on a Kriday. and
as a matter of fact, there were hardly
enough cattle of any one kind In sight to
eslly make a market. The trade waa In
ahout the same condition as usual on a
Friday, there being an entire absence of
any new or especially interesting features.
What few beef steers there were in sight
were Ktr.ctally disposed of by 10 o'clock in
the liiort.int, although the trade was at no
time active. Prices paid were. In the main,
steady with yesterday, there npt being
enough change to quote.
The better xrades of cows and heifers
were in fair demand and they also sold at
steady prices. Inferior kinds were a little
slow and the market was dull and weak on
that kind.
There were no stockers and feeders In
. any consequence tnd not enough
nli nr that line to really make a market.
lor the week litht and handy-weight
beeves and ths best heavies are around 10c
higher then at last week's close, with
other grades about steady. Cows and heif
ers are fully steady for the week, with
good light heifers possibly a litis stronger.
Bulls have not shown much change and
they are at least steady and possibly
strong In spots. Stockers and feeders
have been In light supply and light de
mand, with prices anywhere from weak
to lottfllSo lower.

HOGS Trade In hogs acted saggy this
morning, but wss fairly resistant early.
Some business was done during opening
rounds at figures generally steady, but
demand proved dull and the market grad
ually weakened, closing a nickel lower.
Cost of loads gathered In larger droves
averaged within this margin spread.
Supplies were normal for a Friday,
amounting to fully 7,000 head with assort
ment of weights and quality much the same
as recently. Packers furnished main out
let for offerings, but speculative orders
were also presented with some frequency.
Almost 10 per cent of receipts moved
through channels other than local" packing.
Clearance was drag try but decreased
shipments made It possible to empty most
of the pens In very good season. Long
strings ranged from 86.65 to 85 65, good
butchers selling srotind 1680. Rest bacon
animals made a )5.75 top, a price that was
also yesterday's high limit.
For the five dsys this week receipts give
a total that Is much smaller than the
heavy five-day supply last week, aa well
as much larger than receipts of the same
period lsst year. Present prices show de
clines of 10-20c from those of last week s
close.

vrlth Less Activity.
NEW YORK. Msy 6.-Bradstreet's to
morrow win say:
Trade and Industry remains quiet with
less activity than last week. Cool weather
with frosts, rains or snow north, enst and
west, and excessive moisture south, have
made for quiet In retail lines and retarded
t top growth or preparation.
Reorder business In wearing arpsrel shd
spring goods has been checked by back
ward retail demand, while futures are
affected by crop and tariff uncertainties.
Lowered prices for manufactured goods
have evoked some response, but not enough
to remove the Impression that stocks at
larger than anticipated.
Industry has been tiiilctrr. notably In
building, bemuse of sporadic strikes. Still
May 1 lias brought less than expected
disturbances. Iron and steel have been
quieter with a slowing down of output.
More furnaces will be blown out next week.
Business failures tn the Culled States for
the week ending May 4 were 231 against
240 last week.
Business failures in Canada for the week
number twenty-six with twenty-six last
week and eighteen in the corresponding
week of last year.
Wheat Including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week

COST OF SICKNESS ENORMOUS
Hnadreds af Millions Lost Anaaalljr
by America a 0Vae
Earners.
Notwithstanding the great advances
made tn preventive medtolne and sanitary
science. It Is likely that most peoplo still
regard sickness as a visitation of Provi
dence and something to be endured rather
than to be oured. Informed persons, of
course, know that typhoid and other dis
eases' can be prevented by sanitation, and
effective work Is being tjone In this way
against the great white plague Itself, but
few are aware of the tremendous money
loss annually through preventable disease.
The indefatigable Uermans have the
problem reduced statistically to fractions
of lives and to "pfennlge," and a be
ginning has been made In America In the
work of collecting Information to indicate
the exact extent and character of the
problem to be dealt with. A hypothesis
warranted by European experience Is that
in an Industrial population of the age of
15 and over, with two males for one fe
male, there will be fifty caaes of disabil
ity per annum for each 100 persons em
ployed. Of these fifty caaes five will re
sult from accidents. Reduced to other
terms, this means, spproxlmately, 1,000
days per annum of disability, or ten days
per employe. The 5lty of Leipzig has for
many years collected disability statistics,
and these show further that the number
of days of sickness per employe Increases
with ago. For ages under IS the average
disability Is about six days, and this In
creases to 8.6 per days at ages 35-39,
twenty-one days at ages 90-64 and forty
days at ages over 76.
A conservative estimate of the wags
esrners tn America In 1910, 15 years of
age and over of both sexes, is 36.000,000,
and of this number at least 40 per cent
may be assumed to experience during the
year some disability from sickness or ac- .
cident which will prevent the unfortunate
from working. This means that during
each year there will be 18,400.000 cases of
disability. The German statistics show
an average period of disability of 8.8 days
and In view of the poorer sanitary con
ditions In this country It Is perfectly safe
to assume that average In America. This
would give us, on the basis of 13,490,000
disabled,' approximately 24,760,000 days lost
annually by American wage earners. Es
timating the average wage at 81. f0 per
day, we have a direct loss In wages of
approximately 8428,000,000 annually.
Another loss to be taken into considera
tion Is what the sick ones must psy for
medicine and a physician's attendance, and
this could hardiy be less than 31 per day.
This means over t4, 000,000 annually. Still
another loss, based on the assumption that
sickness will rsduce the value of output
st least 50 cents per day, Is over tl 43.O0O.tVsj
annually. Adding the three losses to
gether we have an annuel drsin on in
dustry from sickness of over iWOO.OOO.OOO.
If the humanitarian aspect of the ques
tion does not command the co-operation
of all enlightened people In reducing the
amount of preventable sickness, certainly
ths economic loss should be Impressive.
