eral Is are unchanged at 1041a. There was
also a great advance in Texas s. st. Louis. in
Missouri s. Arkansas firsts at 44@44h, against

feverish and irregular, although the final hg-
ures to-day show in majority of cases mod

outgrowth of manipulation. The movements
up and down are extremely harmonious.
