State Livestock Sanitary Board

HARRISBURG, PA, Nov. 20, 1908.
Foot AND MOUTH DISEASE has ap-
peared or has been reported among
cattle in the counties of Montour,
Northumberland, Union, Snyder, Jun
iata, Lancaster, Delaware and Mont
gomery. In each case the outbreak
has been traced to cattle shipped from
Buffalo, New York, during the last
week of October or thesfirst week of
November. Since then, the stockyards
at Buffalo have been thoroughly clean
ed and disinfected, and it is stated by
the federal authorities that there is no
danger from that source. Many cattle
came to Pennsylvania during the two
weeks mentioned. All of these ship
ments are being looked up as far as
this is possible but some have been dis
persed and are hard to trace. Hence
there is the possibility that foot and
mouth disease may occur anywhere in
the State, even in a place least to be
suspected.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
outbreaks shall be promptly reported
80 that all necessary precautions may
be taken. Reports should be sent by
telegragh-charges collect-to the State
Veterinarian at Harrisburg. ALI citi-
zens should consider it their duty to
make such reports, in the interests of
the public welfare. Just at this time,
any unusual disease affecting the
mouths or feet of cattle should be re-
garded with suspicion. If such dis
ease spreads from animal to animal
there can be little doubt as to its
nature.
In repressing this disease the United
States Department of Agriculture is
cooperating and is assisting the State
Livestock Sanitary Board. AS result
of such cooperation it is possible to
| pay to owners full value for all cattle
that may have to be destroyed on ac-
count of this disease provided the own.
ers co operate with the public auth orit-
! les and do their part to prevent the
further spread of infection.
Every veterinary practitioner and
! every cattle owner should be exceed
/ ingly alert to detect the first evidence
! of this disease and to report it. Where
cattle are known to be affected, visitors
/ should be kept away for the disease is
one that may easily be conveyed by
persons who have been in contact with
or near affected animals. Persons who
are known to have been on infected
premises should be debarred from
places where cattle are kept until after
their clothing have heen disinfected.
The disease il one that causes enor.
nous losses and must be dealt with in
a firm and effective way.

State Veterinarian.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Fostering Measures by Large Capital
 Interests Strengthens Stocks.

New York, Jan 2S.-The strength of stocks to-day was considered to be due to much the same causes as yes terday. fostering measures by large banking and capital interests against an undue effect from unfavorable in cidents and the needs of an uncovered short interest being regarded as prime factors In the advance. The rise was followed with caution by the specula- tive element and an alertness to take profits kept the tone unsettled at times. Much importance was attach ed to the quarterly report of the Unit ed States Steel corporation and as it was known that the report would not be made public until after the close of the market, so that no opportunity would be offered to operate in the market until to-morroy. there was disposition to wait until then in mak- ing commitments. The action of the Cleveland. Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis directors in reducing the divi- dend of the stock from 2 to 1 per cent. for the half had a chilling ef feet on sentiment, chiefly by reason of the severe effect on the prices of the stock itself The earnings report of the company, which was published at the time, gave food for thought in the heavy inroad of operating eypen- ses and fixed charges on the sum available for dividends. owing to the Q 10 ne might be Illustrated by this case. The effect was partly offset by the simul- taneous increase in the dividend on the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Ed rf stock. another subsidiary Van derhilt company. A cheerful effect was produced also by various reports from scattered sources of resumption of operations by factories which have been closed down, although this influence was modified again by con trssting reports of continued reduc- tion of shop forces by some of the large railroad systems Report of an advance in the price of copper by the selling agent of the principal produc- CTS was an element in the strength shown by the metal stocks. includine Amalgamated Copper and American Smelling. The supporting operations centered largely in Reading. The de crease in the borrowing demand for stocks in the loan crowd reflected the diminution In the short interest and the tone was affected by this as the day progressed Money continued to lend at almost nominal figures on ca1l and the time loan market was still soft and yielding. with little demand The measures of support for prices treasured their influence after a. reac- tion on profit taking and closed the market firm.

With the dividend on Big Four com mon reduced and the rate on Nickel Plate second preferred increased today it was apparent that the Vanderbilt dividend policy is influenced more by actual current results than ty any fu- tune conditions. The Big Four state ment for the year ending December S1 decreased $1,500. while the Nickel Plate increased its surplus for the year $2S9,357. The relative importance of these two events les with the reduc- ton than the increase, for tho first act cuts off from the New York Central income $6O0,0OO per annum, whereas tie second act. 1. e.. the higher dividend, increased it only sl1000o.

The bad mix up on the Brooklyn bridge did not prevent bull pool in Brooklyn Rapid Transit from marking up the price of the stock several points. The argument was that, with the bridge service properly installed the system would be more of walking unit than ever, and that. both from tine point of economic operation and gross revenues the present year gave high promise. Consequently there are many who believe that a dividend on the stock cannot be long delayed. The com- pany's bonds were very strong on the board.

The bidding up of Delaware and Hudson was probably due to the sue cessful planning of a five months loan for $6,000,000, although the shortness of the period was the cause of great deal of comment. It was assumed to mean that the company obtained easy terms, and that 1t hopes by the end of the period mentioned to be able to re- new the loan on much more satisfac- tory terms. If it had had any doubt about the outlook it would probably have made loan for year or more for such terms as it could get The rev loan will date from February and mature in August

NEW BANK ACCOUNTS SOLICITED
The morning journal-courier., 1908-01-29

Some speculative international bank CTS who have been predicting gold ex- ports either in March or April were yesterday inclined to look for them sooner. One reason for this is the fact that finance bills, the remittance of which was delayed during the panic because of the ther prevailing high rates of money are now becoming due. and are also being remitted because of the money ease. The opinion was also epressed that good many of the bonds which were purchased by for eigners during the financial crisis at abnorn1ally low figures will shortly find their way back, naturally taking gold out of the country.
