The cessation Of midsummer heat ana The neas
have terminated The season Of pestence at Quaran-
tine. and affairs duh In the hospitals Of In
lection az can he imagined. No Infected vessels
have arrived for some time past, and there are no
cases Of yellow fever or any other pestilenco -
Quarantine A few vessels which arrived during the
summer with fever are idly swinging at anchor In
the bay, awaiting the purifying influences Of
frost, and a small number OF nurses finger
in ;tne hospital for any new cases which
may arrive: but aside from the regular
visits OF the health officers TO passing ships Quaran-
tine matters are as duh as in mdwlnter. During the
summer, however. Quarantine has been busy enough,
and the almost daily arrival OF vessels, including
several United States war steamers, brought vtvdly
to mind the terrible vsitations Of pestilence upon
New York ana other Atlantic cities In previous
years. At one time there seemed to be great danger
OF yellow foyer reaching our populations
and with q realization Of the awful havoc
which such an epidemic would make In
our crowded and unceanly city, the most strenuous
efforts made to conne the disease TO the lower
bay. The quarantine statistics OF the year show that
the number OF yellow fever cases has been greater
than that OF any previous year 1856, with the
exception OF 1864, as viii be seen by the following
YELLOW FEVER REPORT FOR 1909,
which shows the total arrivals from the 18th Of June
to the LIST OF September, with and without sick
ness from the different ports infected with yellow
fever, together with the number OF sick and deaths
upon these vessels in port, on the passage and In

lative demand the market opened this morn
ing at an advance of about 25 centsS y iuo ms on
the rates of last week, and though II became
rather dull toward the close, the advance was
fully maintained.
The offerings this week were of much better
quality of cattle than usual. We quote: Old
cows and scalawags at 81 y0g5 20; ordinary thin
steers oxen and cows at S. 0o6e oo fair to good
stock cattle S5 5096 2G fair quality beexS q ~

MIL II Cows-As spring is approaching the
offerings of fresh cows and springers are 1ncreas-
ing and with the increasing demand, but being
rather early in the season, they command lower
rates than is anticipated by parties bringing
them here. Prices this week ranged from $40 70
Si5 . head, according TO the reliability OF the
sellers recommendation and the appearance OF
the animal.
sHEEP-The supply during the past week has
been barely sufficient to meet the demand, ana
the market is firm, the better grades of sheep
commanding higher rates. Prices to-day rang
ed as follows: Fair to good sheep at 41x@Sc, and
extra 71zc q h gross.

Boston Wool Market.

The Advertiser, of Friday, says, the receipts
for the week have been ,S5i bales against 3.iS6
bales for the correspondent week of last year
The sales for the week are $4,000 fos.
Although the aggregate of sales is smaller
than. that of last week, yet there has been a
good demand, and buyers haveb enQuite num-
erous. There has been good inquiry for fine
fleece, and the prices obtained have been fully
up TO the rates current last week. In fact we
think there is an increased frmness among
holders of choice lots of fine wool, and the mar
ket favors She buyer less than il did eek or
ten days ago. Medium woods are wanted, and
the Salss oI the past week show an advance in
price. and the ligbt stocks impart firmn4ss to
holders. Combing and delaine woods appear to
be out of the market, and good lots would bring
an advance on last quotations. California wool
is dull and neglected and the sales are in small
lots. Super pulled woolsells readily and the
stocks here are not large, but extra is only in
fair request and buyersexpeet some concession
unless the wool is very desirable. The stock
here is rapidly reduced, while the demand from
local mills in the West will materially lessen
the receipts from that section, and it looks now
as though we should receive but a small addi-
tiOn TO stock of fleece.
