TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.-The State
Live Stock Sanitary Board held meeting
recently at the Merchants Bank Building,
in Baltimore, says the Sun:
DIR. Clements reported that he had been on
u visit to Frederick County, where he had
been requested to examine herd of nine
cattle. He found eight of the herd suffering
from tuberculosis. Under the present law
there is no means by which the disease can
he stamped out.
The board is now gathering data as to
what it will cost to have the cattle Of the
State examined and to ascertain to what ex.
tent the disease prevails. This estimate
when completed will be given to Governor
Lowndes, who may designate some course
for the board to follow until the next meet,

New York, Aug. 12.-Wheat prices shot up today in leaps and bounds. surpass- ing by more than cent bushel all previous records since the bull campaign opened.
