CHICAGO MARKE TS.


Chicago Feb. u.-There was a big de-
mand for wheat right from the start.
May, which closed yesterday at 96sc.
opened to-day at 97124979sc. There was
considerable selling by interests which
have been putting wheat on the market
for some time past, but the demand was
so great the price advanced steadily, not
stopping until Csc had been reached.
There were two big factors in the adj
yance-the Letter shipments abroad and
the Liverpool strength. The former was
given the most attention. 1t was stated
on the floor and not denied by the Letter
interests, that arrangements are being
made for the shipment of 1000. 600 bushels
of their wheat from here to the seaboard.

was on consumption demand and light
supply. Liverpool has received but 272 oo0
bushels in six days, not much over the
weekly eonsumptive demand.
Argentine shipments for the week were
7l2 600 bushels, much less than generally
expected. After advancing to Csc the mar

HOW TO CURE DLACKLEG
A Large Loss From the Disease
on the Ranges.
SAID TO BE INCREASING
1t First Appeared in Montana in 1879.
Introduced by Cattle From the
@East-The Epidemic Is Becom-
ing Serious This Year.

Great Falls, Feb. 1.-THE following
account of the disease called blackleg
and the best method of treatment, is of
value to the stockmen of Northern
Montana.
Recent advices from the range report
the prevalence of blackleg among sew
eral herds. the loss from this cause be-
ing much heavier than for several years
past. The disease is said to have first
appeared in Montana in 1879. and its
introduction at that time was attribut-
ed to a cattle importation from the
East 1t spread through Central and
Northern Montana, and eventually
reached herds then grazing on the west
side ranges. A large loss was expert
enced that year, and while isolated
cases of the disease have been noted
nearly every year, the epidemic has
become so serious the present season as
to cause alarm.
We are informed that the prominent
symptom of the disease is large
swelling generally appearing on the left
shoulder, while in other cases il APP
pears in the back. 1t is said that death
invariably follows within "a hours of
the appearance of this swelling, and
that no remedy has yet been found by
which the fatal consequences can be
averted. A post norton examination
of the animals shows a large patch of
occurs.
Nearly every animal attacked by
blackleg is in a thrifty condition; in
fact the disease appears to be confined
to the youngest and most healthy look
ing portion of the herds. Some old
time stockmen venture the opinion that
the disease is encouraged by too liberal
feeding and too warm housing of cattle:
in support of this theory they contend
that cattle in poorer flesh, stock that
has been made to rustic for feed and
takes plenty of exercise, escapes from
the disease which is now causing sc
much loss among cattle that have re-
ceived care and attention.
incubation is said to be the only sure
preventive of blackleg. it's efficacy hav-
ing been demonstrated in sections
where the disease used to cause @consid-
cradle trouble. Several Northern Mon
tana stockmen have about decided to
adopts this method of protection, and
during the branding season of the COM
ing spring they will have their calves
properly treated during the progress OF
branding operations.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
CHESTS Driven Out of the Windsor, Which
Is Burned to the Ground.

Great FSlls. Feb. 11.-A disastrous fire
is reported from Havre. having oc-
Cured yesterday. Through it the
Windsor hotel and the other frame
buildings in that range, the one near
est to the Great Northern station. We're
burned to the ground. The fire caught
in the kitchen of the Windsor hotel,
owned by Arthur Decker, and at pres
ent leased by Thaddeus T. Raymond,
and spread rapidly through the build
ing by means of a ventilator shaft.
BY the time the alarm was sent out
the guests had been driven out of the
building, many of them losing their
baggage. For a time all was confusion.
but soon order was restored and guests,
trainmen and citizens of Havre soon
organized a bucket brigade and all did
good work. At first it was thought the
whole town was doomed, but the siren
uous efforts of the hastily organized
brigade, assisted by the fact that the
wind was in the right direction, result =
ed in the salvation of the balance of
the town.
The building was a two-Story frame
structure and was only recently rented
by the present proprietor, Thaddeus T.
Raymond, who had signed a lease for
one year. The owner, Mr.. Decker, is
at present living at Spokane. The hotel
and fixtures are total loss. but are re-
ported to have been fully insured.
