today brought to light no new cases. All
the COWS that had been isolated were found
to be improving. Numerous small herds in
the northwestern part of the city were also
inspected. No pronounced cases of pleuro-
pneumonia were found among them, but
several sick COWS were isolated. DULY few
shipments of cattle we're certified to at the
stock yards. The dullness was attributed
to the usual absence of heavy dealings Sat-
