all sections of the city, and IL is feared
that IL cannot he controlled for a long
time unless the most rigid quarantine
regulations are established and enforced

tine officers should be installed In every
neighborhood where cases exist.
There Is general Indignation over the
inefficiency of the guarantees attempt

local investment buying and shorts cover
ing on it, The lack of confirmation, how
ever and general bearish advices, such
as Indifferent Liverpool cables, x to sd
higher, favorable weekly Government re-
port, and liberal primary receipts caused
a sharp reaction, with the market fin
ally closing at &c lower than last night.
The Southwest reported better wheat
and flour demand and sent some damage
reports. No cash sales here.
Corn was dun but firm. The bull in
terest was responsible for the activity,
selling some May. 1t was on both sides

sales were reported at 100000 bushels
Country acceptances continue light and
the hulk of local receipts are consigned.
Oats were very active and strong on
the large business done for many weeks
Crop reports continue untavorable and a
sale of a million No. 2 oats for ship
ment added to the strength. Great inter
