This loathsome disease is prevalent
in many sections of the country, and
has destroyed many valuable horses.
But its effects on stock is a secondary
consideration, for it is transferable to
man. Numerous instances have eX-
listed OF glanders in man, and we
could cite authorities of the highest
responsibility to establish this fact. A
horse with glanders is used freely,
mikes about with other horses and
the owner seems careless of the dam
ger to his stock, and worse, to himself.
1t is often confounded and treated in
man as syphilis, and the practitioner is
astonished the case does not progress
fvaorably; for the one is durable and
the other fatal. No one has yet sue.
ceeded in curing well-established
case of glanders. 1t is often horses
are treated successfully for glanders
when they only had catarrh or dis
temper or some kindred affection, but
CHAMBERS and farcy are incurable, and
both are identical diseases, though af
fecting different localities in the sys
TEN; or, in other words, they are diff
ferent forms OF one disease.
Hence the great danger Of having I
horse affected with a contagious dis
ease close to the person, when at an!
moment he is liable to contract tn,
complaint. All such animals shoulc
at once be shot or otherwise disposed
of. They are liable to kill many valu
able animals as well as the owner, an,

The IRON Market Better.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Phjladelphia Times.
The general tendency of the iron
market is upward. There has been
no advance in prices, bnt an unusual
demand for bar iron would undoubt-
edly cause one.
"Millmen have been making no
money for several years past" raid a
leading iron merchant yesterday, "and
it has been the policy of buyers to live
from hand to mouth and keep a small
supply on hand as possible. Prices
are low, but an active demand for bar
iron would tend to stiffen them.
"The general market has healthier
tone than for some months past and
manufacturers and dealers feel en-
couraged for the future Mills are
generally running on three-quarter
time, and the workingmen will be
able to tide over the season OF depres
sion.
"There is a large demand for stee
rails and the mills find it impossible
to fill their orders. Prices have ad
vanced within the last thirty days u
per ton and the tendency of the mar
ket is still upward. Steel rails wer'
never so low as two months ago. Rail
road men took advantage OF the de
pressed condition of the market Il
make large purchases. Roads al
over the country are replacing thei
iron with steel rails, and the building
of new roads and extension Of old one
has carried off the surplus stock G

From the New York Times.
There are many indications that
the general business OF the country is
undergoing change for the better.
The demand for dry goods and other
goods from the South and Southwest
is perceptibly stronger and more con-
fident. Retail dealers, the distribu-
tors nearest the consumers, seem to
have made up their minds a. last
that there is more risk in waiting
than in buying,
1t has been known for long time
that retail stocks were running very
low and that dealers were Giving
from hand to mouth" and it has been
held as certain that the time must
come when they would feel sufficient
ly hopeful to renew their former mode
Of purchasing. Apparently that
time has now come. The fact that
the first and most definite signs Of
improvement are noticed from the
South, and particularly from the
Southwest, is undoubtedly due to the
excellent prospect of the cotton crop.
But 1t is also due to the fact that the
South, which has been more free
than other sections from the fever ol
speculation, has been quietly making
money in moderate degree for al
least year and is now ready to spend
it.
There is notably more cheerful
tone in the iron and steel trades
Mills are resuming that have beer
long idle and Others that have beer
moving very cautiously are NOV
showing new energy. But for seyera
J months, in some sections for the pas
year, there have been but little diff
