The Rise in Wheat.

One feature of the market. during the early part of the week was the selling out My the bull clique of their December Holdings on very strong: spot; and the taking on of a new line of May. This was done systematically, and its effect. was to but surely, narrow the spread between the two features.

On last Saturday this spread was.3 cents. Last, night's closing found It cut down to Locally, the feeling has been improved by a de dided falling-off in the Northwest re deopts. This was said to be due to the farmers paying attention to their seeding and plowing after breaking of the drought. The liquidation of December and the taking on of May became more proBounced during the latter part of the week, and on Friday interest was fairly divided between the two options. Statements in regard to the.

wheat requirements of European countries have recelved substantial corroboration through, the greatly increased export demand. Many reports were also received as to the poor winter wheat prospects east of the Mississippi, where rain is still greatly needed. Some reports indeed showed a rather sensational state of affairs.

VIEWS OF DR PERGUSON, What the Physicians Say of -Hospital Superintendency. Dr.

A. W. Brayton, coroner, holds that the management of city eleemosynary Institutions should be taken out of polltics, just as has been provided in the statutes for State Institutions, In a letter to Mayor Taggart, urging the retention of Di. Ferguson, he said: "No superintendent of the City, Hospital In a score of years has in a greater degree commanded the respect and of the profession of medicine, regardless of 'schools' or of He has managed the affairs of the growing school for nurses with great discretion and success. He has been the city sanitar-tan of the city, and to him we owe much for the improvement of our water supply, the closing of foul wells and the reduction of the number of cases of typhoid fever, diphtheria and other contagious diseases.

I doubt if any head of departments appointed by thee boards you, create has secured to the city so much good and to your administration so much credit as has Dr. Ferguson in the a position, of city sanitarian and afterward as superintendent of the. City Hospital" Dr. L. C.

Cline, one of the members of the Board of Health, whose resignations were accepted, has called on Mayor Taggart, earnestly endeavoring to: have. Dr. Ferguson retained. As a member the Board of Health, he says, he was well acquainted with the work of -Dr. Ferguson, and knows that it was, thoroughly efficient.

With the hospital now in good working order, and especially now that the training school for nurses has been put under the management the superintendent, it would be extremely unfortunate, Dr. Cline says, to have a change made. Dr. W. G.

Rice: 1s another physician who has urged the mayor to retain Dr. Ferguson. Dr. Rice said with a smile that in a letter to the mayor, he had referred to himself as a Democrat, and therefore having a right to speak, but he said that politics should not enter into the question of the management of the City Hospital. That of all places occu-1 pied by doctors should be free from this influence.

Dr. J. Cook (Democrat), said: "I should regret exceedingly to see any change made. The members of the profession who are interested in the welfare of the hospital are, I believe, united in hoping for the retention of Dr. Ferguson." Dr.

Theodore Potter said: "It is unfortunate that these positions should be influenced by -party politics. So long as this is true, so long will we fafl to get the full benefit of sanitary science in the avoidance of suffering and death. Those who. with the shallow earnestness of partisan zeal are trying to drive out Dre. Clark and Ferguson from the positions they have so well filled, will get just what they deserve if, unfortunately, members of their own families of typhoid fever or diphtheria.

I hope that civic decency may prevail and that Drs, Ferguson and Clark may be retained." Dr? S. b. Earp, of the Central College of Physicians and. Surgeons. com being asked it he knew of any complaints.

said that the only complaint he had heard of the newspapers of his one being a gold mentioned Dem- in Dr. Ferguson was the ocrat. He said he was not in a position. however, to hear anything either for OF against him. Gas Burners and Burglary.
