Conditions surrounding Hie grain mar
kets point to scalping conditions for the

tainty, as to the oiltrom-, mil for this
reason tho averago prufesHonal, not only
In -wheat, but In corn and oats, will ho
vntlstlcd to even up his position ones or
twlco a week, Instead ot standing on a
line In tho. expectation of reaping a
harvest, Sentiment on wheat Is pretty
will divide., mis fact was fully demon
atrmted yesterday, whan values showed
narrow changes nnd tun reatlng spots
were around thogo of Wednesday.
The speculators who rehped the benefit
In December wheat arc t-uid to be long
a good line of tho May future, but this
may be called only a guts. It would be
a safe proposition, however, to wager
that tho men who lost lairfa amounts In
December wheat are not on the short
side of May In a big way. There was
some wheat covered yesterday, and there
was some buying of May and selling of
July by concerns having spreads between
tlinsa two months,
Tho larger local shorts In corn were on
the buying side early yesterday, and
with the expectation that the weather
would be unsettled for a time a reaction
and decline In prices from the top was
unlocked for. Tho buying by tho Cmlahy
brokers was ngaln a featuio, as that big
peculator was ono of the holders of tho
IJecembcr futures.
Oats closed lower for 'May, while July
was unchanged, following an Irregular
and unsottied market. Cash sales wora
small.
drain speculators were heavy buyers
of hog products yesterday and In addi

CHICAGO GRAIN ANJ PllOVIHIONS
Feature ef the Trading anil Closing
. Price oh Board of Trade.
OHICAC,!, Jan. 3,-Corn today under
went a sensational tumble In value. The
lmmenao stock hero nnd the promise of
f "-breakIng yield In Argentina
.TC11 iJ'-vy a burden to withstand.
Although final prices were steady at a
considerable reaction, the market showed
f .,05" ,?LHW4 to 2Ho net. Wheat fin
ished HSo up, oats unohanged to- o
off and provisions varying- from Ka de
cline to an advance of tvio.
At the extreme low point reached, corn
Tor January delivery was depressed
nsarly 10o a bushel, compared with the
figures at whloh tho Docembor option
expired four days ago. Most of the losa
thla morning came within an hour after
. the opening. It was plain from the out
flt that sentiment had taken a docidedly
bearish turn. No commensurate relief
appeared to be at hand for the rapidly
Increasing accumulation hero and at
other chief centers, the principal Chicago
owner was said to have hedged by sales
of May and there were dispatches from
Iluenos Ayrea that timely rains had as
sured an exportable surplus believed to
be .larger than ever previously known.
Unwillingness of leading firms to ac
cept even at a heavy discount the seem
ingly endless quantities of low-grnde corn
at present available In Chicago had much
to do with causing t)ie break. In addi
tion tp this holding off on the part of
buyers there were liquidating sales con
stantly exerting pressure on the market.
Hhort sellers, too, were active, but profit
taking on their part finally brought about
a moderate rally. It was feared also by
some dealers that tho selling had been
overdone.
The rains which hsd been of benefit to
Argentine corn led to worry on the part
cf wheat speculators lest damage might
be done to stacked wheat In Argentina,
whore harvesting returns continued to be
disappointing. Bulls were further encour
aged by 'reports ot better flour trade
here and borthw'eat and by the smallncss
ot primary receipts. Foreign buying In
Chicago was again tlOtlcekble.
Oats were In demand from commission
houses sufficiently to overcome an early
decline which resulted from sympathy

PARTIAL RECOVERY IS MADE

NBW YORK, Jan. 3.-.Stock were de
pressed abruptly today after a quiet
opening, which gave no hint of the Im
pending decline. Although various nd
verso Influences were brought to bear
upon the market they were not ot suf
ficient Importance to explain the sud
den unloading of stocks In tho first hour,
during which leading lesues were sold
In blocks of several thousand shares.
The selling apparently was professional.
Toward the close a partial recovery 'was
made.
The readiness with which the list rc
snded to pressuro measured the dimi
nution In buylhg power at tho higher
level nnd the weakening effect on tho
market of a reduction In the outstand
ing short Interest.
Activities on thn long sldo were cur
tailed by the tightness of money at the
year-end period, although the bank state
ment gave promlso of an Improvement.
Ah actual cash gain of $ll,7M,00O was
shown, and, although tticro wan an In
crease In lounji pf over $l,w,ooo( re
flecting operations In connection with
January I, payments, again of nearly
$3,0C0.0fV In surplus, was reported.
A large Increase In business failures
nnd further railroad reports for Novem
ber, which Hhowcl Kovero declines In
earnings, influenced sentiment unfavor
ably. Hears nought to make capital from
tho withdrawals of the Morgan firm
front various directorates nn the ground
that this step, with similar action to
como on the part of other large finan
cial interests, indicated a period ot tran
sition which would bring ilnsettlement
In the securities market. The street was
Inclined, however, to tako tho opposite
view, holding that such changes wero
In lino with tho trend of the times, and
ultimately would Improve the position of

under the Influence of light supplies
and encouraging advices from other
points the local market opened out in
(tood shape, shippers buying a number of
loads of good hogs early at figures that
were tully a nickel higher. Packers, how
ever, were bearish and their first bids
were no bettor than steady with yester
day, and that only on good hogs. Sellers
dickered for quite a while in an effort to
hotter these offers, but In the end they
were forced to cash their holdings at
prices that were generally steady to 6c
lower. In other words, the best klndj
wero about steady, while the more com
mon grades wero weak to 5c lower, and
some ot the very common mixed light
stuff looked to be. In many canes, even
worso than that. Bulk ot the sales was
made at $7.:0ff7,95, and tops reached $8.00.
It might Xil mentioned In this connection
that this Is the first .time in pver two
months that values have touched the
S-cent mark.
Towards the extreme close trade be
came very dull, and doling values wero
reported to bo a little easier. Trade waa
more or less draggy througnout and
there were a few scattered loads stilt in
first hands up to a late hour.
For the week receipts have been very
light and the trade has been, on the
whole, fairly satisfactory to the selling

JOHN BULL aWhIsTnSURANCE
Itrsnlts of tlrent Britain's Kntry
Into the Field of Meillrnl
Treatment.
The medical benefits and trade changes
due to the Hrltlsli national Insurance act,
which became effective January 1, 1913,
l the subject of an official study by
American Consul llalstead nt Birming
ham. In tho Birmingham area, over
which tho Birmingham health committee
has Jurisdiction, tt was calculated that up
to October 29, 1012, there were 2S9.S01 In
mired persons. For services during tho
first quarter of 1913 the aggrwgato duo the
doctors In the Birmingham area was
$98,791.81. The totnl account rendered by
druggists amounted to $35,394.05, and the
total number of prescriptions was 234,344.
Vnder the Insurance scheme, for nn.
eight-ounce hottle of medicine a pharraa.
cist Is allowed 4 cents as a dispensing
fee, and for a bottle over eight ounces
C cents. An extra charge Is mado for tho
drugs, as explained elsewhere, and the
prices allow tho druggist nbout 30 per
cent profit. Por a medicine bottle up to
etght ounces tho druggist ts permitted to
charge 2 cents, and i cents for a larger
one, but on the return of the bottle In
a clean condition must refund this charge.
Tor polion bottles no chnrgo Is mado to
the Insured patient, but the government
pays 2 cents for four-ounce bottles and
smaller and up to 8 cents for twenty-
ounce bottles. It happens, however, that
the half-pint spirit ,or whisky bottle Is
frequently brought for the rn"llclne b6
cause It hold Just etght ounces. It has
been said that the demand for the ten
ounce bottle was largely Increased by
tho fact that the druggist obtatned 2
cents extra as a dispensing feo for It,
but It appears that doctors are somowhat
Inclined to prescribe a ten-ounce bottle
of medicine because, in half-ounce doses,
It provides for practically a week's
medicament at three doses a day.
From 13,000,000 to 14,000,000 of a total
population of 4,000,000 In the United King
dom arc affected by the lnsurajico net.
nnd many of these, It appears, have been
purchasers of patent or proprietary med
icines. As a result of the act the demand
for such patent and proprietary medicines
has been reduced by about one-third.
While It is thought likely that this will
bo a permanent result of trie Ipsuranci
scheme, with its medical benefits, tt U
recognized that these benefits have been
oporatlve only a few months and that at
tho same time tho patent and proprietary
medicine manufacturers have dono much
less advertising. It may be that some of
the falling off la due to tht& lessening of
advertising xrhlli the effects o( the act
were being studied; It has been stated
that for the next year It ts the purpose
of most of tho patent medicine makers
to double their advertising. This would
be on the assumption that after the nov
elty of tho medical benefits Is worn off
there will be a tendency to return to for
mer favorites, and at the same time there
will remain some 32,000,000 people in the
country who are not receiving medlcat
benefits under the Insurance apt and
whose custom Is worth consideration.
Prior Uj January 1 a considerable pro.
portion of the workmen who are affected
by this act belonged to friendly societies
and were treated by club doctors. This
scheme of medical attendanco did not
provide for the filling of prescriptions by
druggists, and In most workmen's neigh
borhoods I? became customary for the
doctor not only to prescribe the medi
cine but to dispense It as well. Thus the
doctor had a surgery with a more or less
restricted range ot drugs on hand, and,
although In some cases experienced phar
macists were employed, tn others the dis
pensing was done by the doctor himself
or by members of his family. To meet
the requlreenta of these doctors, whole
sale druggists sprang up who had praci
tlcalty little trade with the pharmacists
but a large trade with doctors. As a re
sult of tha new act these wholesale drug-
gists have been compelled to change their
trade and tq seek trade with pharmacists,
ns the doctors, except tn remote country
places -where there are no druggists, no
longer dispense medicine.
It has also become more and more cus
tomary for certain firms to put up tab
lotds Intended for specific diseases and
for doctors to prescribe such medicines.
As these remedies are not Included tn tho
British pharmacopoeia, the Insurance
doctors are no longer prescribing them,
nnd IL has been suggested that doctors
tn the future will haye to know more
about the compounding of prescriptions
than tn the past. They will have to de
pend upon their own knowledge of drugs,
Instead of upon that of the expert chem
ists of the wholsate druggists. On the
other hand, It Is noted that the act ts
still In Its Infancy, nnd only about 28 per
cent of the population ot Kngland Is af.
fected thereby.
SPORT'S APPALLING LIFE TOLL
Carelessness of Hunters Pile Up a
Melancholy Score of
Deaths.
Does not a sport which costs 135 lives
tn a single season come rather high? If
those huntsmen's fatalities had been con
centrated on a sinking ship or In a burn
ing building or on a train derailed, a hor
rified publlo would have demanded a
means to prevent recurrence. But scat
tered over twenty-one states, these
deaths, to say nothing of the Injuries,
have been received placidly enough. In
proportion, this burden of death seems to
have been distributed about evenly ac
cording to the extent of the huntlnr ter
ritory. Wisconsin tost twenty-nine. Mich
igan twenty-sight. New Tork nineteen,
and Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
together thirteen. There were, besides,
more than forty Injured.
It Is not as If these lives were lost tn
the performance of any heroic feat, or
necessary duty, or dally foil. All of this
appalling fatal ty comes under the head
of "play." It Is the survival of an epoch
when men obtatned their food and main
tained their families by killing nnlmals.
Then It waa work, and, before the fire
arms came, often th hardest kind of
work, often spiced with an element of
personal danger which is hardly Incurred
by the common Nlrarod of today In quest
of deer with a maga-lne rifle. Play la
an Imitation ot work, with the toll a"
danger omitted, If possible. AVhen the
clement of danger still persists, not from
the prey, but from the Inexperiences of
fellow pursuers or of oneself, the play be
comes something so closely resembling
foollshnew that distinctions are hard to
draw.
The noteworthy point In alt this Is that
the accidents and deaths were chiefly due
to carelessness, by which is meant Igno
rance; mistakes In handling firearm!",
mischances of companions, or hunters
mistaken for game. A generation one re
moved from pioneer riflemen may have
taken to the woods as a sailor's son to
salt water, nnd certainly not with any
thing like this toll of mortality. The oc
casion for hunting has passed and with
It, evidently, the skill of tho chase. As n
sport Its record Is not enlivening; as a
diversion It Is or ought to be obsolete.
