CURB STOCKS.

j. a. Minnear & Co. say today:
There was no change in the British
strike situation but this or the com
plications in China failed to stem the
upward trend of the market. Stocks
had been selling too low considering
the money situation and the advance
is natural consequence. Amalgamat-
ed was the leader in the copper share
list, making new high at 500 for
this movement Copper was quoted at
14Ss cents bid. The February Produc-
ers' statement is going to be a very
bullish one. All things considered.
copper shares are remarkably cheap.
The dividend paying issues sold high
eI today and will advance further.
Good buying of Calumet and Arizona.
Mohawk and Copper Range was again
IN evidence. Tamarack. Centennial
and Superior should do better. The
local list was quite brisk with trading
well distributed. Shattuck was up two
points ON talk that the sale of control
will be affected this week. The South

steady, due to lower prices from Lon

stronger. The big selling agencies in

dertaken in 1908 and extended since
that time, is just now of particular IN
terest. The boards OF health of the
different states have been urged to
make this "reportable" disease-that
is, one of which all cases shall be re-
corded. Until that shall be done in
all states the full extent OF this dis
tressing and weird disease cannot be
determined. There is an increasing
demand upon the public health service
for anti-rabies serum.
That rabies has been prevalent in
the United States for more than cen
fury is shown by the medical litera-
ture of the nation. The first outbreak
was reported in Boston in 1868. The
legislative council OF the American
Medical association in 1907 recon-
mended that rabies be Investigated by
the public health service with q view
20 its prevention and control.
In 1908 there were Ill deaths Of hui

among animals were reported during
this time. The disease in both man
and animals was practically confined

MAN TASTED FIFTY-SIx DAYS
H,nley Of Marlboro Apparently Has

Suffering He Endured.

Marlboro.-William B. Hanley. who

a weakened condition, has apparently
fully recovered from the terrible suf-

When he was found be was barely
able to breathe. and his life was al
most despaired Of He was taken in
charge by physicians and sent away
TO Forge village. where, under the
open-air treatment. he was restored
to health. He returned to Marlboro
the other night. and he Is apparently
as well as ever. He is as heavy as he
ever was. and eats well and his mind
is as clear as bell. He speaks but
little concerning his awful experience.
but there is no question that during
the entire fifty-six days he went
without food.
