Eothschiid and Pollock.

A commercial traveller for a New
York house was greatly surprised by
the size of an order given him by a
merchant of the name of Pollock in a
far western city. 1t was the largest
order he had ever received, and, be-
ing a careful man, he telegraphed to
the credit man of his home firm for
advice. This is the reply: "Roths-
child is a Polack, but Pollock is not a
Rothschild." The order was declined.

KANSAS CATTLE DISEASED
Reports of Foot and Mouth Disease
Mt Are, However,
Probably E~xaEgerated.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 4.-Unless Il is
shown conclusively that the foot and
mouth disease does not exist among cattle
In northern Kansas, the state OF Nebraska
will quarantine against the state.
M. Campbell, chairman of the State Live
Stock Sanitary commission, insists pos
itively that there is not and never has
been n foot and mouth disease in Kan
sas.
THE trouble at Concordia," he said, 'Is
probably caused by the cattle having frozen
feet or the result Of their feet becoming
diseased from standing in mud and water"
Yesterday Governor Bailey received a
telegram from Governor John NJ. Mickey
Of Nebraska, inquiring as to the reported
cases OF foot and mouth disease near Con-
cordiay and also as to the symptoms dis
played by the affected cattle. Governor
Bailey wired back that he had referred the
matter to the State Live Stock Sanitary
commission and that the state veterinarian
would be sent to Coneordia to make a
thorough investigation.
LINCOLN, April 4.-Governor Mickey
said this afternoon that probably no quar-
antine would be established in Nebraska
against Kansas cattle. Reports of the
prevalence Of me hoof and mouth diseases
In Kansas seem exaggerated, and the gov
ernor says unless more positive proof Is
furnished no quarantine will be established.

William s. Warren, chairman OF the mar
ket report committee OF the Chicago Board
OF Trade and former president OF the

COTTON SHORTS IN A PANIC
Advance the Price for May and July
in wild Effort to Cover
Contracts.

NEW YORK. April 4-Extensive cover
ing by the shorts sent May cotton UP 20
points at 1920 today. This is the highest
figure reached in the present movement,
exceeding by three points the record price
for May cotton, touched during the May
July price contest a few weeks ago.
From the top figure May declined 10
points and then made a partial rally. From
outward indications the bull element
seemed to oppose rather than encourage
the advance, which was due primarily to
realization by the shorts Of the difficulty
Of meeting contracts.
All ordinary market conditions were
ignored, however, in the wild scramble to
cover.
July cotton was a good second in the
excitement attending the opening, selling
up to 9.73c. There was talk OF a possible
corner in that option. The market steadied
soon after the opening, but continued more
or less irregular. .
A continuance of short covering kent
prices pretty near the top and the closing
was steady and strong. May, 1O.f4dlO. 15c;
July, s.S9@s.7Oc; September, s.7S9s.74c; No
