sellers found encouragement in declining

and December to 29,80, or about 20 to 37
points lower during the early trading. \
The government report making the cotton"

LETTER
CHICAGO, Aug. 2. —Wheat: Despite the
pronounced decline in values in wheat coun
try offerings remain of goodly proi>ortions.
Sealx:ard reports a slight revival of foreign
demand, mainly from Italy, whose require
ments are estimated at around 100.009,000,
there i s a broadening of the interest in the
market for future delivery. Millers are in
clined to watch developments closely.
Corn —More influential traders are prompt
ed to anticipate a little tally in corn prices.
This feeling is caused by need of rain in
Illinois and Indianar. It is not possibly to
say that the sentiment favors liiglier prices.
The market may react to some extent in
case tlie drouth area widens but the present
outlook suggests a crop considerably above
average .requirements.
Oats—As in wheat the price detcline has
not reduced the offerings from country. On
the contrary, requests for bids and offers to
sell are quite genoral. Estimates of yields
have been considerably increased and private
reports point to excellent quality and condi
tion. othing has developed as,yet to give
tins market any individual quality.
Provisions—There is a little steadier feel
ing in this market on the belief that liqui
dated holdings have passed into good hands.

of the hood, push the point forward
and onward, bringing it out on the
surface at another point. The barb
ed end is then cut off with a wire
cutter or file. The barbed end hav
ing been removed, the hook can be
extracted without damage to the
tissues.

Tortured and for
Fifteen Years Rheumatism
We can hardly imagine the feeling of joy and
thankfulness which would possess one who, after
® suffering fifteen years the excrutiations of rheu
“ . matism, finally gains relief.
.. This was the experience of Mr. W. H. Edgars,
wlf of 49 Cooper Street, Atlanta, Ga., who tells of his
recovery as follows:
“I suffered fifteen years with rheumatism.
PE-RU-NA cured me and I think it is the best all
around medicine ever made. I hope you publish
W. H. Edgars m y letter for the benefit of others.”
I Simple words, but they tell a big story in a
straightforward, honest way.
Rheumatism is only one of the many troubles due to catarrh.
Coughs, ’colds, indigestion, constipation, sour stomach, belching,
bloating, pains in the back, side and loins, are a few of them
that may be traced to a catarrhal condition. In the prevention
of grip and Spanish Flu, which are of a catarrhal nature, and to
hasten recovery after an attack, the value of PE-RU-NA is undis
puted. The safe way is to keep PE-RU-NA in the house all the
time for emergencies.
You can buy PE-RLi-NA anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.— (Advt.)
