Spots 7 points lowei New York opened low on old crops, but our market was little affected, first trades being at four points decline, which was quickly recovered. Certain information front New York Mays that the present acute weakness in old crops is merely to free the market of outside interests before notice day and that arrangements for a profes slonal bull move in May are Intact. All selling of May in this market is readily absorbed, which points to similar pro fessional intentions in this position as in New York Prospects for a severe cold wave checked selling pressure and provide*} the main support today.

In this connection, an influence in chock ing bearish enthusiasm was tin* con tinuation of had start reports. Shreve port sent such advices yesterday and the weather bureau's weekly bulletin was not at all favorable In st> far as Texas is concerned. Elsewhere in the belt, however, conditions as a rule have been favorable and most of the talent seems convinced that the crop is making normal progress. "The position of the market now merits the closest attention. It Is as serted by trustworthy men that the trade has planned to take up cotton on May contracts at both New Orleans and New Yprk. In the New Orleans territory, the remnant stocks* contain many hollies, which will not pass m as tenderable cotton. At New York there are some 11.000 tenderable bales that will not pass muster as tend* cotton at Liverpool."

April 23.—The May future was firm this morning after the opening dip In the wheat market, but the more deferred months were as much as %e lower at one tjme. Thf: general rains over Kansas were the weakening fac tors and these rains were largely In the neighborhood where they were most needed In order to break up the drought. A Liverpool concern reported Argen tine shipments likely to be quite srnafl this week compared with previous weeks. Foreign markets were unsettled, but the feeling abroad was not as strong as it has been. Northwestern receipts were larger than a year ago. while Win nipeg movement was small. Corn was % & % c lower on Increased offerings. Oats were easier in sympathy with the other grains. Hog products declined in prices on the losses of 5(&10c in hogs at the yards. The bulls were again victorious with the "cotton crowd" a big buyer in the wheat market. Nervousness and strength were the characteristics in the market. There were many bears to be seen hovering around the pit, but they moved cautiously in putting out short, lines, feeling that the bulls would twist the market a few times and that their only escape would be to cover at losses. The markets abroad were Arm and there was a great defcl of steam taken on v fhe Chicago traders because of this fact. There was a larger trade in wheat with a good sprinkling of outside busi ness. Duluth reported 250,000 bushels wheat as taken by exporters to-day and the reported sales of 650.000 bush- ds yesterday were confirmed to-day. Cash transactions were 35,000 bushels wheat,, 150.000 bushels corn and T30.000 bushel oats. t’orn was unchanged to %@%c off. and oats were %@%c better. Hog products were 5 to 17%c off. W. B.

I Happened to walk into a finan cier’s office as He finished writing a check—in the thousands—for a charitable purpose. "You get a great many calls tor contributions. I believe.” I remarked. "Yes, but I enjoy giving them. I prefer to spend my money that way to buying pictures with it* I’d sooner do something to help unfortunate or suffering people than have my walls covered with very expensive paintings. I can see pictures in my friends’ homes and in galleries. # * * "Yes, it is true that I give all that my income warrants—and perhaps more.” "And your wife also contributes to many charities, I understand.” "Yes. She feels the same as I do about these things.” * * * This conversation is reproduced here because it is symptorrfatic of a change that is creeping over many men of great wealth. * <* * A thirst for the goodwill of their fellowmen has overtaken quite a few American multi-millionaires. It used to be fashionable to affect complete indifference to the public’s V ra ' s e or censure. That has beer. changed. Cynics, of course, will assert that the new attitude is born of selfishness rather than unselfishness, that grand- scale charities are prompted only by a love of popular applause rather than an innate love of fellow humans. Well, there may be some truth in such a charge, but my own slight knowledge of the workings of numbers of our noted capitalists leads rather to the belief that their good works are in spired by higher motives. « * * Colossal fortunes are new in Amer ica. They are of to-day rather than yesterday. Even so, the novelty of them is already wearing off. They have not brought their possessors all that was anticipated. To own $5,000,- 000 or $50,000,000 is no longer a dis tinction that makes the public The ultra-rich man who do,, notni but spend his days, mschins-lik, money-making, doss not occupy, hl " pedestal in the public’s estimation * * , , How to use enormous fortune, , I one of America’s pressing preblem,!

Perhaps the best answer may be found in the stories told by the people who had called or him to tell their experiences with Quaker Herb Extract. While he had shown great interest in his work when lure, even greater reports have been made from those using the reme dies for chronic disease: and those who have used it. An unusual ease of this character came to light when Mrs Matilda Watson, of 120 Curran street, called. Mrs. Watson is the wife of an old employee of the Dysart Obstruction Company, and is 55 years of age She told the following: "I suffered with severe stomach and b-nvcl trouble for several years. 1 would bloat and belch after eating and my food would lie like lead in my stomach. Gas would form and caused palpitation of the heart, dizzi ness. etc. 1 was in misery, and could eat only the lightest foods, 1 had sev eral attacks of acute indigestion a few months ago. and was weak, pale and Ion. Doctors and patent medicines were all alike in tneir inability to re- , hov«' me, and I was getting disgusted. ; but my attention was called to the Quaker Herb Extract. 1 began using ", and after seven bottles am now 1 well, hale and hearty. 1 will always cheerfully recommend the wonderful Remedies to all who ask what Quaker did for me." Those who suffer from either stom ach. liver or kidney troubles, catarrh, rheumatism or worms should procure at least a trial three-bottle treatment of Quaker Herb Extract at once. Don’t delay if you .want that bounding, sparkling, radiant health the price less asset of all men, women and 1 children.
