The rule applied to the bulls has taken the tee h out of the market, so far as futures are concerned. This situation was reflected on the cash wheat market and for the first time in months the day passed without a sale. Bears were on the market for cash wheat, but they were not successful in making purchases. Their offers were around $-?.95&3.i0. 15 to 17 cents under the prices of Tuesday. Re cepits for the day were fifty-six car loads and everything went into stor age. l.'ndcr the restricted trading no wheat can be bought for July or Sep tember delivery unless the purchase is to close an open trade. There are few of these, so far as the Omaha market is concerned. This morning there were three or four and to take care of them the wheat was bought in at ?J.J4 di.J.l, or JO cents under Tuesday's prices. It is expected that tlie restriction on future trading is to be extended to corn and oats, but so far no definite action has been taken. There was a pretty fair demand for corn and it sold at $1.5o((i '1.02? ' a bushel, 2 to 4 cents under tlie prices of Tuesday. Receipts were fifty-five carloads. Oats sold oft' better than 2 cents and at 68(iouc, with twenty-one car loads on the market. Wheat Rutures Drop Hard. Chicago, May 16.

The One Cent Sale was introduced by ourselves in this city something over two years ago. Such sales have been held in all the principal cities of the United States during the last few months, generally in the Rexall Drug Stores, and have been the sensation of the hour. THE PL&N OF THE ONE CENT SALE IS AS FOLLOWS: You buy ONE article at the REGULAR price, and then another of the same kind for lc. The One Cent Sale is an outgrowth of modern merchandising methods. By its means the manufacturer, anxious for a wider distribution of his products, makes a special concession in price, thus encouraging the re tailer to co-operate by holding these sales, whereby a large volume of merchandise is quickly distrib uted to the public, of course, without a cent of profit, but with the effect of quickly introducing some meritorious article, perhaps hitherto unknown, or increasing largely the distribution of well-known and standard articles. " Below we give a few samples and items to show the plan of the sale. This is a chance you cannot afford to overlook, as there will be all classes of drug store merchandise offered at these remarkable saving prices. Remember, vou BUY ONE article, whether it b e 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c or $1.00 or $2.00, and GET ANOTHER for ONE CENT AT THE 5 SHERMAN-McCONNELL DRUG STORES. No C. 0. D. or phone orders.
