Ocean CGongestion
CHICAGO, Dec. 12.--The big draw
back In moving grain from the West to
the Bast is traceable to the continued
co'l,l{eltlon on the ocean,
| e rallways have thousands and
| thousands of cars loaded with grain in
various positions, and while the pros
;;nc(l are better than a few weeks ago
’ or the rellef of the present congestion,
""f are not as promising as the average
grain lhleer would like to see.
‘ It is believed the Britlsh Commission
and other interests which have been
buying heavily of breadstuffs are the
owners of enormous quantities of
wheat, corn and oats, as well as hu’
‘Froducta. in the United States, anc
that they will use all the available
‘empty cars allotted to them and all the
avallable vessel room, which wil make
conditions somewhat better.
Frank L. King, one of the hen:egtml
ed grain men in the world, answe the
question, “Wil Australia ship much
wheat?”’ as follaws:
“Australia is cutting wheat now and
the crop there Is large. In addition to
this, the amount of wheat held over is
large. Shipments from that country
since January 1 have not averaged one
million bushels per week. HEurope needs
elfht to ten million bushels a week, even
with the decreased consumption of
wheat and flour.”
The. best posted men in the corn trade
look for an increased movement of that
grain, ag rallway officials have made the
promise of an increased quwtltf of cars.
Considerable lard has been lquidated
bg' Jongs, so the situation is expected to
show a marked change elther one way
or the other.

HUTTON & CO.'S STOCK LETTER,
NEW YORK, Dee. 12.—The curtall
ment of purchases of ammunition by
finmnnd 150-point break in cotton ow
tep of 260 the previous ten days, the 10
per cent money market and bear activi
‘tles have brought a lower market. For
i-lx weeks we have been telling you that
the industrial situation was congested,
that there were too many stocks of this
character in Wall street. This Is show
ing itself now. tl looks as though the
banking interests of this city were de
termined to shift part of the load to the
rest of the country to whom the stocks
really belom{. Railroads have suffered
with industrials so far, but the pressure
to sell them will grow less. ’l&ey are
'not disturbed and they are not inflated
and they are the best of collateral.
‘There are very few of them that are not
'selling on ante-war conditions. They
j{\ave not discounted their present earn
ings.
’y g\.}e-tem Unlon dividend is due today,
and should be an increase and with it
Ihifner prices.
t is just as well that this pressure
on the market came when it did. Had
it come with the position more extended
it would have resuited in demoralization,
As it Is, it simply means the slowing
down of business with a gradual decline
in ?rices.
he m-)itolnt decline in cotton has
shown people that commodities have no
halo around them, Thirty-two-cent ocp
per has put up some of this group to
retty hlfh prices. ‘lf we happen to
gavo a big break in the raw material,
you would have a bigger break in the
stocks. That break is coming some day.
tl may be nearer than we think.

The health of the body depends
’upun the food, upon its proper diges- |
tlon and absorption, and the proper
excretion of waste,
The maintenance of health and re
pair of waste depend very largely
’upnn the condition of the blood. In
order to keep the blcod in condition,
it must be well supplied with fresh|
nutriment and the products of wustol
freely eliminated.
Many ailments arise from dyspep
sia. Imperfect digestion is very often |
caused by defective elimination—con- |
stipation. '
Undigested food remains on the
stomach until decomposed, causing
dyspepsia, rheumatism, constipation,
biliousness, or perhaps even to irrita- |
bility and sleeplessness. Much dys-|
pepsia would be avoided by attention
to the condition of the stomach, and
by obedience to one or two simple
