which is observed by every state and
territory, with two exceptions, ex.Sec-
retary J. Sterling Morton, who has just
passed away, will be lovingly and CRATE

and who believe In the possibility of
training the people to love her in turn,

mark for himself, if only through his
encouragement of ee-planting.

SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

There is one thing that can he said
about the hog buyers on this market that
is complimentary. They buy an the hogs
that come. ut comparatively good prices.

day received dispatch stating that his

would pump water from a CIstern with a
small hand pump.
Joe Scott, The well known shipper at
Nulvane, was a visitor AT the yards yes
terday. He had not been IN FOR some
time and said he wanted 20 see the peo-

HOG MARKET
TEN LOWER
Trading Was Active and Re-
ceiptS Large As Expected.
TOP PRICE WAS S7.35
Cattle Receipts Were Too
Light to Make a Market.

The supply Of hogs yesterday was not
nearly large enough to supply the de-
mand. but it was fully up to expectations
for these times Of general light receipts.
The market was a fat ten cents lower
yesterday than on the previous day, but
there was the same activity and the
buyers wanted the hogs just the same,
whether the market is going up or down.
Cudahy bought about everything and
there is no getting around the fact that
the market here has worked Up too near
Kansas ICty prices for the buyer for
Armour to buy very many hogs. The
best hogs yesterday and the day before
sold within ten cents Of Kansas City, and
some claimed even nearer than that.
Cudahy seems to want the good heavy
hogs and he sees that there is no margin
Ter profit in shipping them to another
market when he is through with them.
The top price yesterday was s735. but
they were not as good as the top hogs
the previous day. The cattle market was
at a standstm on account of the lack of
offerings

AMERICANS
GET CHOLERA
Increased Sickness in Philip

BY CONTAMINATED FOOD
Disease Most Prevalent in
Laguna and Batangas.

Washington, August 7.-Surgeon General
Forwood today received a report from
Lieutenant Colonel Harvey. chief surgeon
Of the division of the Philippines. giving
a detailed account Of the health OF the
troops in those islands for the month
ended June Is. last. The report shows a
considerable increase in percentage OF
sick as compared with the previous
month. In south Philippines sickness has
increased in quarters. station hospital and
department hospital. but the report says
the reason for this cannot be indicated at
this time.
Cholera has attacked two officers and
sixty-two American soldiers and one na-
tive soldier. Most OF these cases occurred
at Laguna and Batsngas. The cause in
the majority of instances has been the
drinking OF infected water. and a few
cases were due TO food. contaminated
either by handling or by flies. In Samar
and Leyte some cases are reported. but
the disease has not spread widely. In
the Camarines the epidemic seems to have

reported, with 1920 deaths In the city
there have been 1850 cases. with 100

Colonel Harvey says that the additional
demand upon medical officers has been
met IN the most satisfactory manner The
report says the people IN the small towns
are very ignorant. They consider cholera

measures. During the month covered by
the report the total sick was 2265. being

STOCKS AID BONDS.

New York. August There was
further expansion in the volume Of trad
ing in stocks in today stock market and
the same kind Of irregular strength which
was shown yesterday. There were points
Of weakness in the market. in spite of the
marked strength Of the most conspicuous
stocks. and there was a still larger num-
Der of important stocks which did not re-
spond to tho advance and were simply
dull and neglected throughout the ses-
sion. There were violent movements in
some usually obscure stocks. but in some
also which are always active and promi-
nent the prices huctuated half or fun
point between transactions. II took but
two transactions to lift Burlington. Cedar
Rapids x Northern X points. following a
25-point rise yesterday. This was the re-
suit of the announcement by the protec-
tive committee OF the minority stockhold-
ers that they had secured an offer OF a
high price for the outstanding minority
stock unassenting to the plan OF exchange
with Rock Island. Other controlled stocks
which seemed TO be affected ia sympathy
were Nashville. Chattanooga < st. Louis.
the Kama wha & Michigan and the New
York, Chicago & st. Louis stocks. The
Hooking Valley stocks and Louisville &
Nashville moved upward with almost
equal violence. but with TO specific devel-
opment 10 explain the movement. The
rise in Illinois Central had in its favor

tinued TO advance The large buying Of
Southern Railway was without much ef-
feet on the price. The weakness Of Man
haitian was attributed to fears of a strike
by engineers and motormen The rise in
Pennsylvania and its subsidiary coal car
riers was apparently in sympathy with
the Hooking Valley movement. National
Lead was reported in demand for some
large financial interests. There was not
much in the general situation upon which
TO base a rise in prices. since the news
showed little change in conditions, which
continued favorable to values. The sub
treasury is absorbing a considerable sum
from the money market. but the premiums

Gates that the tide Of currency is still
flowing this way. Foreign exchange is
firm, but the very strong return made
today by the Bank Of France reflects the
accumulation Of resources at that capital
and the unlikelihood Of further pressure
from there for gold or for repayment Of
loans. London showed encoura cement
