Bovine Tuberculosis in Scotland.

At meeting of the Scottish Metropolitan
Veterinary Society at EAinburg on Oct. 2i,h,
a paper was read on the measures to be
adopted for the eradication of tuberculosis.
The author gave an a count of an outbreak
which came under his notice three years ago
in herd principally composed of pedigree
Shorthorn, showing how the disease was
communicated; and he alluded to the trans
mission of the disease to man by the use of
iesb and milk from tuberculsr animals. The
measures suggested were the slaughter of
the infected animals the total destruction of
the carcass, the compensation of owners,
and the thorough dIslntectIon of infected
stables, In the discussion that followed

TIE BUSINESS SITUATION.
Tie State OF Trade Throughout tho Country
Continues Encouraging,

Continues Encouraging,
New YoRE, Sept. COR. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
Throughout the country the state of
business Is encouraging, and the only
disheartening features are In connection
with speculative operations. Stocks
have not quite maintained the recent ad-
vance, the chief cause bping the western
railroad wars. Speculation In bread
stuffs and cotton has been ut a slightly
lower range OF prices with but moderate
transactions, and slackness OF tho con-
sumptive demand causes a weaker tone
in coffee and sugar markets without a
change OF prices. Oil speculation Is q
shade stronger, and provisions steady.
At Philadelphia, the jobbing drygoods
trade continues good, the grocery trade
improves, exceeding last years, but In
wool there Is very little movement. AT
Chicago there is decline in the receipts
OF wool and OF grain higher prices for
wheat are leading farmers 10 hold back,
but large increase In provisions. For
the year thus far, trade exceeds last
year. fi
At Cleveland there Is increased actiy.
ity, especiallyin iron and ore, and at
Pittsburgh further Improvement is seen
in bessemer iron and steel, in coke and
in coal, with resumption Of glass
works at b per cent higher wages.
Southern prospects also are all etii
copraging as 10 crop prospects. There
Ia nowhere any stringency In money,
the supply being ample for legitimate
needs.
The great industries appear TO be grad.
ually improving in condition. While
the improvement is slow In wool manu-.
facture,. there Is clearly q more active
demand at Boston, and sales Of wool
there this week are S3,25S,0O0 pounds,
But the larger movement, mainly In fne
washed fleece, has been secured by con.
cessions inprice. The goods market Ia
still uncertain.
In the iron business, confusion in.
creages, because southern coke, No,
ioundry,'is offered at SIC 70 for delivery
70 the end Of January, while anthracite
No. sells at $l7 10 SIS, and higher for
