The stock market here was quiet to-
day, speculative stocks being most
favored. Americans opened good on
the report from Santiago. Dealings
and general interest here in Americans
are widening, but New York checked
the upward movement this afternoon,
and prices closed dull.
Spanish tours and all foreign stocks
were good on the improvement in
Paris. The belief here grows that
Spain will endeavor to get the powers

QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.
Cattle May he Shipped TO Nevada,
Under Certain Conditions.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The at
tention Of the officials of the Agricult-
ural Department has already been called
by cattlemen and by an official notice
from the Secretary of State of Call
forDia to the condition of the cattle south
OF the quarantine line, and the latter
asked if something could not be done
by the department III modifying the
quarantine so as to prevent their star
walton.
An official of the department said:
"The cattle referred to can be sent 10
any place south of the quarantine line,
or can be shipped into the northern part
OF California, if the State officials Will
guarantee that they will be properly
Quarantined For that matter they also
can be sent into Nevada, if the State
officials there will undertake the work
of quarantining them. The quarantine
line as it now exists was made on Jam
uary 10Th, and south of it infection ex-
lists. To permit the transit of the ami
mails above this line would be 10 endan-
ger the cattle industry in the remainder
Of the State. and besides. any other
State to which they might be trans
ported. Our advices are that there
have recently been good rains in that
part of the State south of the line. and
the grass is growing nicely, which gives
sustenance for the cattle. The scheme
looks to me like a speculative one, and
that number of cattlemen are anxious
to dispose of their stock"

The present bulletin is supplemental
to one on the same subject published III
January, 1896, which contained a his
tory Of the Eastern occurrences of the
insect down to December, 1890.
N aver. it is said, in the history of
economic entomology in the United
State has single species of insect ex-
cited SO much interest as the san
Jose scale. In the light of what we
now know" the bulletin says, our
actual knowledge of the distribution of
the scale in the East in the fall Of
1895 was comparatively slight. 1t was
then reported as occurring in twenty
States. but in comparatively few To-
calities in each, with the single ex-
ception Of New Jersey.
In 1867 actual field inspection in
Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, Ohio and
Georgia and several others showed that
in these States the insect was nearly
as widespread as in New Jersey, while
twelve States and the District of Co
lum oia have been added to the num-
ber containing infested points,
The condition in over thirty States
and Territories are then given, includ-
ing that of California, which is as fol-
lows:
"In this State the insect is or has
been generally distributed. The condi-
tions of climate sometimes kill it oug,

fungous disease. but neglected and I'M
