REGARDING THE PRICE OF SUGAR buy May and sell July In the expecta tion that the small stocks of contract here and the prospective small arrivals of contract of the May would Increase Its premium over July. There have been those who have been predicting a JO-cent premium over July. Yesterday Armour took 1,000,000 more July through commission people and brpkers, some of whom gave .up the Armour name' and probably was May selling for the same Interest. The result was to spoil that theory In regard to a July discount. which has been so popular," From 3 cents under May, the July got to with in 1 3-8 to tt-cent. Except on the score that there might be a corner the July corn should sell, at a premium over the May. The man without an elevator sys tem could not very well take the risk of making the spread, for some one might buy enough May to make him uncomfort able. The Armour people are not in that position. If the July corn is Int. trlnslcally worth more than the May they can well afford to take all the risks of making the "straddle." Holders of oats have been influenced the past few days to liquidate more or less. - It looks as If the Increase In the propor tion of standard had been a factor with them." Howe led the selling several days ago. beginning it around 88 cents. Patten was a large seller yesterday and the May price closed 2H cents under the top figure of hist week. In spite of this profit taking, the oat bulls seem to be still believers In their market Howe appears to be willing to get back again on .the break and the selling by Patten la not believed to be a letting go of his line, but merely the selling of a small part or it Provisions people, even those who are in the pit all the time and In close touch with the lead ers, were much mystified yesterday by the conduct of the market It was learned the selling Tuesday, which hod been credited to Patten, was not for him at all. It came on orders from Balti more. There was some uncertainty as to how Important the liquidation dur ing the two days had been. It had cer tainly been on a large scale. The un certainty was whether It had been for outsiders or insiders. SB. O. T.

Serving City and Corporation at Same Tunc Grind Jury After the Reporters. ; (Journal 'Special Service.) SEATTLE,- Wash.. Feb. Practi cally the entire time of the grand Jury was taken up yesterday in examining witnesses in regard to the contract of the Seattle. Ac Lake Washington Water way Company with the city for the use of the old pumping plant and the sur plus water of the new water system for sluicing down Beacon Hill on. the tide lands which are being Hlled. A leading oinoer of the comnanr. Its auditor and general manager. Is Pres ident Will H. Parry of the City Council. President Parry's company has a con tract with the city, despite the fact that the law requires a City Councilman taxing n is oath of office to swear thaL.he-UL,nQUhelntsreaWd.io.. an way in any contract with the city. Mr. Parry's company is now using more than one-half of the water brought to the city by the Cedar River system. In addition, it has the use of the old pumping plant on Lake Washington and pays -but 1500 a month rent for the plant the right to use the water and the streets for its sluice boxes. Of the $25,000,000 gallons of water ,that reach the city every day through the new sys tem, the Seattle & Lake Washington Waterway Company uses more than half of it The city uses the other half, from which it gets about $300,000 In revenues each year. The Waterway Company has paid the city less than $25,000 for the half It uses in addition to the monthly rental of $600. Tiolatea His Oath, Parry was in the Council when the contract was signed. He stlU remains a member of the Council and violates his oath of office In so doing. These facts were called to the atten tion of the grand jury. Every member of the Council who voted for the con tract which the Chamber of Commerce characterised as a steal, will be called as witnesses. It Is openly predicted that indict ments of members of the Council for un lawful connivance to secure money, will follow this investigation. Leading at torneys say there Is nothing else for the Jury to do, and that the only thing that will save them will be a forced ad journment of the body, which is to be attempted tomorrow by members who are friendly to the corporations. For a while yesterday afternoon the jury dropped its Investigation of Coun cil matters to attempt to learn by what manner the newspapers have been get ting their facts concerning the deliber ations of the grand Jury. Miss Ollle Doane, a Seattle Star re porter, and Karl M. Anderson, a reporter of the same paper, who have been hand ling the grand jury story, refused. to give any light on the subject. joe Smith of The Times and C. B. Yandall of the Post-Intelllgencer, declared that they -would suffer a Jail sentence be fore they would give the names of their Informants. The reporters declared that It would be unprofessional to tell things that had been given them in confidence. PleaseVLet Mb Help You ! : LEXilE BE YOUR FIUEND !

Twenty-Bvectaabottlea A Simple Bemedy Which will Interest Catarrh Sufferers, In Its earlier stages catarrh is more of a nuisance than a menace to the gen eral health, but sooner or later the dis ease extends f to the throat, bronchial tubes and even to the stomach and in testines. Catarrh is essentially a disease of the mucous, membranes,, the local- symptoms being a profuse discharge of mucus, stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gag ging and frequent clearings of the throat and head. . The usual treatment by local douches, snuffs, salves, etc., often gives tempor ary relief, but anything like a cure can only- be obtained by a treatment whloh removes the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the In flammation from, the mucous surfaces. A new remedy which meets these re quirements and which so far has been remarkably successful In curing catarrh Is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon' the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hardly be called a secret patent medicine, as they are composed of such valuable remedies as Blood root Hydrastin, Red gum and similar cleansing .antiseptics, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous surfaces the ca tarrhal poison. - - ,. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are i large, pleasant tasting lozenges taken , inter nally, allowing them to .dissolve slowly in the mouth, n this way they reach the throat, fauces and the' entire alimen tary canal. If desired, they may also be dissolved )n water and used as a dpuche. In addi tion to the Internal use, but it is not at all necessary to use a douche; a few of them dissolved In the mouth dally will be sufficient. However, when there is much stoppage of . the nose, a douche made -from these-tablets-wlU glve lm mediate relief, but the regular daily use Internally of these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resort ing to the inconvenience of a douche. Dr. Bement states I'that the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taktng the place of the old plan of douching and looal application, and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market Is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is made of their composition and all the really efficient remedies for-catarrh are contained In this tablet." Druggists Bell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 60 cents for full-sized packages. Ask your druggist and If he Is honest he will tell you there no safer, more palatable. more efficient and convenient remedy on the market .. (Journal Special Service.) NEW YORK. Feb. 18.
