extreme ascent of 7 cents a bushel, the
market closed unsettled, 6 |c net high­

July at $1.46| to $1.46{. Corn gained
1| to 2c, and oats 1} to l]c. Provis­
ions finished at a range varying from
22}c decline to a rise of 7} cents.
Excitement was m anifest at the
opening of businens in the wheat pit,
and there were gains right at the start
running all the way from 1 cent to 4}
cents a bushel.
Bushes to buy and scarcity of offer­
ings formed the order of the day, until
ladders were tern pled by chances to
realize immediate profits of 6 to 8
cents. Even under such circum­
stances, however, pressure to sell was
none too eager, so general was the
agreement of traders that the outlook
appeared slight at present for a cessa­
tion of hostilities in Europe.
Corn rose with wheat. Besides, re­
ceipts were light and there were signs
of a demand for export shipments by
way of the Gulf of Mexico.
Oats readily followed the upward
course of other cereals. Houses with

pre used. As many as five crops of
oakum, may be packed tightly In the
wound and then sewed up. After re­
maining there for 24 or 48 hours they
are removed.
After the bleeding has been con­
trolled and all foreign bodies removed
from the wound, the gaping of the
wound is noticeable. It Is caused by
the contraction oi the muscles and
elastic fibers, and Its degree depends
on the extent, direction and nnture of
the cut. This gaping will hinder the
healing process so that it must be
overcome by bringing the edges to­
gether by some sort of sutures or
pins or by a bandage applied from
below upward. As suture material,
ordinary cotton thread is good, if well
sterilized, ns Is also horsehair, catgut,
silk and various kinds of wire.
If the suture Is made too tight, the
subsequent swelling may cause the
stitch to tear ont. In order to make
a Arm suture, the depth of the stitch
should be the same as the distance
the stitch is from the edge of the
wound. The deeper the suture the
more tissue is embraced and the few­
er the number of stitches required.
Process of Healing.
In those cases where perfect stop­
page of bleeding, perfect joining of
the edges of the wound, and perfect
cleanliness are obtained, healing oc­
curs rapidly, without the formation
of granulations, pus or proud flesh,
by what Is termed first Intention. If
wounds do not heal in this manner
they will gup somewhat and become
warm ami painful. Healing then oc­
curs by granulation or with suppura­
tion, which Is termed healing by sec­
ond intention.
All antiseptics are not equally de­
structive. an»! some germs are more
susceptible to one antiseptic than to
another. The most important are (1)
bichloride of mercury, which is to he
preferred on horses. It becomes weak­
ened in its action if placed in a wood­
en pall or on an oily or greasy sur­
face. It Is used in the strength of 1
part of bichloride to 1,000 to 5.000
parts of water, according to the deli­
cacy of the tissue to which it Is ap­
plied. (2) Carbolic acid in from 2
to 5 per cent solution is used on in­
fected wounds and for cleaning in­
strum ents. dressings and sponges. It
unites well with oil and Is preferred
to the bichloride on a greasy surface.
A 5 per cent solution in oil is often
used under the name of cnrbollzed oil.
(3) Aluminum acetate is an efficient
and cheap antiseptic, and Is composed
of 1 part alum and 5 parts ace­
tate of le^d, mixed in 20 parts of wa­
ter. (4) Boric acid is good, in a 2 to
4 per cent solution, to cleanse wounds
and wash eyes. Compound cresol may
be used in a 1 to 3 per cent solution
in water.
Healing Under a Scab.
This often occurs in small superfi­
cial wounds that have been kept asep­
tic. In order that a scab may form,
the wound must not gap. secrete free­
ly or become Infected with germs. The
formation of scab is favored by
astringents or styptics, such as tannic
acid. Iodoform and 5 per cent solution
of zinc chloride. In case of fistulous
withers, open joints or other large,
hollow wounds that cannot be dressed,
antisepsis may be obtained by warm-
water irrigation, with or without an
antiseptic fluid. It should continue
day and night, and never be Interrupt­
ed for more than eight hours, for
germs will then have gained headway
and will be difficult to remove.
The following rules for the treat­
ment of wounds should he followed:
(1) See that the wound is clean, re­
moving all foreign bodies. For this
purpose, use a cieau finger rather
than a probe. (2) All hemorrhage
should be arrested before closing the
wound. (3) Antiseptics should only
be used when it is suspected that the
wound is infected. (4) When pus is
present treat without closing the
wound. Tlfls may be accomplished
by drainage tubes, absorbent dress­
ings or continuous irrigations. (5)
