Wheat up to t$1.03.
Chicago, Feb. 19. In the midst of ex
citement unequaledon the 'change since
the days of the Leiter deal in 1898, the
price of wheat for May delivery touched
the dollar mark today, and not content
with this achievment continued it up
ward march until $1.03 was reached,
This record price, the third highest in
the history of grain speculation in Chi
cago in 20 years, was reached within 15
minutes after the big gong on the floor
of the 'change announced the opening
of the day's business. The dollar mark
the goal toward which May wheat has
been struggling for weeks, was reached
in the first trade made in the big pit
this morning. On the instant the hands
of the official clock on the 'change
pointed to 9, pandemonium reigned in
the pit. Half a hundred hands, clinched
in the position which, in the sign man
ual of the traders, indicated that a dol
lar was offered for May wheat, were
thrust forward, as many voices shouted
what the hands mutely signalled, and a
moment later the anxious watchers in
the room Baw the figures $1$1.01 writ
ten in the column headed 'May wheat.'
A moment later the price had fallen in
to two figures once again, but the re
lapse was only temporary, and almost
instantly the price with a single bound
reached the mark of $1.01)2.
Toward the close of the session, May
wheat again gathered strength, as the
result of heavy buying by the commis
sion houses, which were flooded with
outside orders to buy, and made anoth
er spectacular jump, touching $1.03. A
slight reaction followed this effort, and
the price fell off to $1.02a, which point
it was at the close.
The sharp advance was due to tear
that the war should not be confined to
Russia and Japan. Other causes were
the strength of Liverpool and the
scarcity of milling wheat. Trading was

proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott's Emul
sion. It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott's Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treatment.

The Stock Exchange experienced a
very depressed and nervous week, due
argely to the fears of trouble in the
Balkans. Rumors of the illness ot Em
peror William, as well as the war in the
Far East, haye also exerted consider
able iofluence in causing this depres
sion. Foreign stocks of all classes
were almost demoralized, quantities of
them being thrown upon the market
rom Paris and Berlin, where operators
were overloaded by recent heavy pur
chases made under the belief that Peace
n the Far East would be maintained.
The other markets were dull and de
pressed, in sympathy with foreign
markets, whi!e American securities
were characterized by an almost con -plete
absence of dealings.
