Wheat shorts covered their sales in the December today and helped maintain a very fa vorable quotation. Closing was 1-8 to l-2c higher than yesterday. Opening of the wheat market was dull with December l-8c lower and the other at yesterday's closing fig ures. Advices from abroad were bull ish but the trade was too small to pay any attention to outside con ditions. Liverpool, Antwerp, Berlin and Paris were each higher at today's closing. World's shipments are forecast by Broomhall at 6,800,000 bushels ex clusive of North America. He pre dicts a fair decrease on passage.

Freshly killed turkeys retain their full Btrength of yesterday in the Front Btreet markets today, and for best quality 27c a pound was obtain able. Cold storage stuff has scarcely been moved, and an effort will now be made to unload this upon unsuspect ing purchasers in place of the fresh goods. There were fair receipts of turkeys this morning, but they were quite quickly absorbed by the trader which wus asking more. However, there is little trade to be supplied from now on, and therefore the holiday market may be said to be closed. The season is ended, although nat urally there will be some Inquiries for New Years. The high prices of the past few days have been a surprise to the trade generally, although a few Interests seem to have sized up the situation quite fairly. ChlckenB are now quite well clean ed up, but sales were made at low prices In order to induce a , livelier movement. Potato Trade Stagnant. Trade In the potato market Is at a standstill and on this account grow ers are willing to sell much more freely than formerly. Trices as quot ed, are nominal. Eggs Showing Weakness. Eggs are showing further weakness In the local market and wholesale dealers are nominally quoting 42c; others say they are offering at 39c and 40c. Receipts aro increasing. Veal Not Quito So Firm. Whllo not including weakness, late sales of dressed veal along Front street were not so firm as during the early part of the week. Too much poor stuff. Dressed hogs remain very firm. lluttcr Market Weaker. Further weakness Is shown in tho price of butter locally although all of the leading brands continue to bring top figures. Livestock Vtu'linngetl. While 9 was obtainable yesterday for hogs, nothing over $8.75 was of fering this morning for light stuff and ono sale of IS head that averaged 221 pounds was made at $8.70. The sale yesterday was for exceptional quality, supplies which are seldom duplicated In the local trade. An other lot of hogs that averaged 241 pounds wont this morning at $8.65.

Remember that when your kidneys are affected, your life Is In danger. M. Mayer, Rochester, N. Y., says: "Foley Kidney Pills are a wosderful discovery and I heartily recommend their use. My trouble started with a sharp shooting pain over my back which grew worse each day. I felt sluggish and tired, my kidney action was Irregular and infrequent with a fine sand-like substance. While the disease was at Its worst I started us ing Foley Kidney Pills. Their prompt and efficient action was mar vellous. Each dose seemed to put new life and strength into me, and now I am completely cured and feel better and stronger than for years." A. C. Koeppen & Bros.
