hawking and spitting.

conquered with the soothing, healing
antiseptic air of the Eucalyptus for
ests of Australia

haler and breathe it; that's all you
have to do. Breathe it five or six times
a day and watch the symptoms of ca
tarrh disappear one by one. HYO

catarrh, coughs, colds, croup and ca

CHICAGO, May 7.—Wheat opened with
a weaker undertone and with prices rang
ing from %to s »c lower, the main in
fluence being bearish foreign news and
unresponsive cables. Commission houses
were on both sides. Shorts were the prin
cipal buyers in the pit. while longs were
sellers. Liverpool came %d lower, against
our upturn of yesterday, due to large
Western arrivals and the increase in the
visible supply.
Corn was %to %c better Wet weath
er in the belt was the strengthening fac
tor. Trade was very light early.
Oats were a shade lower on fine weath
er in the belt. There was light commis
sion house selling at the start.
Provisions were easier in the face of a
strong hog market. - Business was scat
tered and unimportant.
While wheat was lower and weak early
in the day, it Armed toward the close
n n expectations of a bullish government
report, and final prices ranged from %c off
to %c up. There was an improved de
mand for wheat, and this drove the
shorts to cover.
Corn closed %c higher on good buying
both by commission houses and cash
firms. Trade was small and unimpor
tant.
Oats closed firm with prices %c off to
%c to %c up after an aerly break Good
buying by local shorts caused the re
covery. The trade -was small.
Provisions ruled a little higher, but
trade was extremely dull and feature
less.

GOVERNMENT GRAIN REPORT,
WASHINGTON. May 7.—The crop re
porting board of the department of agri
culture estimates as follows:
On May 1 the area of winter wheat to
be harvested was about 25,744,000 acres,
or 3,418.000 acres, 11.7 per cent less than
the area harvested in 1911, and 6,469,000
acres, 20.1 per cent less than the area
sow n last fall, 32,213,000 acres.
The avesege condition of winter wheat
on May 1 was 79.7 compared with 80 6 on
April 1. 86.1 on May 1, 1911, and 85.2. the
average for the past ten years on May 1.
Condition of 79.7 per cent on May 1. is
indicative of a yield per acre of approxi
mately 14.4 bushels, assuming acerage
variations to prevail thereafter On the
estimated area to be harvested 14 4 bush
els per acre will produce 170,714,000 bush
els of 13.9 per cent less than in 1911, 14.6
per cent less than in 1910 and 11.3 per
cent less -than in 1909.
The outturn of the crop will probably
be above or below the figures given
above, according as the change in condi
tions from May 1 to harvest is above or
below the average change.
The average condition of rye on May
1 was 87.5. compared with 87.9 on April 1,
90.0 on May 1, 1911, and 89.2, the average
for past ten years on May 1.

NEW YORK, May B.—ln line with
weaker cables from Liverpool the cotton
market opened 11 to 16 points lower to
day. Bearish operations were also helped
by predictions for f*ir weather over the

few Wall Street houses which supported
the market. After the call there was a
rally of about a half-dozen points.

Bv CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. May 6.--With the excep
tion of Reading there was practically no
demand for stocks at the opening of the
stock market today, and as a result prices
were off. Reading opened % higher, but
at the end of fifteen minutes buying
turned into selling and the issue lost all
its gain and % additional. The better
tone which prevailed late yesterday was
not maintained at the opening, and the
list ruled heavy. One of the most active
of the stocks was American Smelting,
which yielded %. going to 83’*.
Losess of % or more were scored in
United States Steel, Amalgamated Cop
per and a number of others. The copper
stocks were under pressure in London, as
well as in New York.
Canadian Pacific was another issue ad
versely affected through London selling
before the local market opened. It was
%c lower at the outset and the loss soon
aggregated a point. Lehigh Valley opened
unchanged, but lost %c subsequently.
Erie common was up % and Southern Pa
cific was up ’*
Among the declines were Union Pacific
%. Atchison % and Baltimore and Ohio '•*.
The curb was irregular.
Americans in London showed early im
proveemnt, then reacted.

Prices Down.
NEW YORK, May 7.—Overnight buying
orders gave the cotton mafket an ad
vance of from 5 to 12 points at the open
ing today. The tone was firm, and the
lack of improvement in weather condi
tions over the Southern belt caused a
continuance of buying After the call
the price ruled fully 15 points above Mon
day's closing, or making an aggregate ad
‘ vance of 50 points in two days.
' Liverpool fully responded to the service
of _yesterday in the American markets.
■ and the buying around the opening was
good, coming from commission houses.
i some spot people and also those who sold
yesterday. The local operators soil on
the way up and there was profit taking
by some prominent bulls It is believed
Liverpool and a former large bull leader
sold here. The selling is based on the
theory that we have had a good advance
and the market is due a reaction
Ring operators continued selling in the.
afternoon, which, together with some sell
ing by the bulls to take profits, carried
price to the low levels of the session. 2
points off to 7 points up as compared
with the previous close at the beginning
of the last hour.
December and January touched the
previous high records of the season dur
ing the morning session
At the close the market was steady
November 1 point higher, while the bal
ance of the list was 1 to 4 points lower
as .compared with Monday's final figures.

NEW ORLEANS, May 7—The map
shows partly cloudy to fair in the Western
states, with no precipitation except in
the coast districts. Cloudy weather In the
rest of the belt, with genera! showers,
heaviest in Mississippi, southern Arkan
sas, Tennessee and parts of Alabama. In
dications favor clearing weather in the
western half of the belt, but showery in
the eastern half. The tendency Is toward
better weather generally.
Liverpool took yesterday's advance in
our markets and weather news mor* se
riously than was expected, advancing fu
tures today as much as 13% points. Spots
11 points higher: sales 7,000 bales.
General buying on the strength of Liv
erpool, rains In tfie central states, a fore
cast of showery weather and expectation
of a bullish weekly weather report at 11
o’clock advanced our market 11 points
in the first hour, but the advance was
then chalked by realizing in New York
Bullish feeling qver the wet planting
season, particularly in the central states,
seems to be well developed and provides
a steady public and trade demand for
contracts All other considerations ap
pear to be set aside for the present The
mill situation in Italy is particularly un
favorable. and trade is suffering from the
embargo placed on Asiatic-Turkish terri
tory with respect tn Italian goods
The sensational side is well represented
in cotton literature at present, and fre
quent predictions of a wet May and June
floods have their share in the present buy
ing movement.

STEEL COMMON
SHOWS DECLINE
Shares Offered Freely Go With
out Buyers—Other Issues
Make Important Gains.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. May 7.—United States
steel was the weakest stock on the list
at the opening today as a result of heavy
selling induced by the government hear
ing in the dissolution suit now going on
in this city. Steel was offered in large
blocks and within a few minutes had
yielded 1% to 64%.
A number of other important issues de
clined materially, and the whole list was
weak. Reports in London that Canadian
Pacific may soon make another stock dis
tribution caused buying of that stock
which gave it decided strength. Canadian
Pacific here opened at 257, a gain of
The anthracite situation again brought
pressure to Reading This stock opened
at 171%, a decline of 1% from Monday's
close. After half an hour there was a
rally in Reading on supporting orders and
part of- the early loss was recovered.
Amalgamated Copper yielded over a
point, selling down to 799*. as Reading
had done, this stock also recovered from
its loss later.
Among the other opening losses were
Erie %. Baltimore and Ohio ’*. Penns.'l
vania %, Lehigh Valley %, Union Pacific
% and Southern Pacific %. .
The curb was steady.
With the exception of United States
Steel, Americans in London were cheer
ful above New Y'ork parity.
Later stocks -w ere in better demand and
substantial gains were mads in a number
of the important issues. .
Reading was prominent, advancing I s *.
and a gain of 1 point was made in Union
Pacific. Steel common continued in free
supply.
The market closed strong
Governments unchanged: other bonds

sufficient exercise that brings with it
those disorders that arise from in
activity. Chief of these are a chronic,
