ippi Code Of 1906.
The Secretary states that very
small per cent Of the druggists Of
the State pay any attention at All
TO the Poison Law. He said to
a reporters
''If the licensed druggists will
not keep Poison Register, as tie
State law requires, why should we

At the next meeting of the Board
of Supervisors, a petition will be
presented by free holders and
lease holders" asking that the
Board declare the stock law in

vided for by Chapter so, Mississip-

cluded in Supervisors District No.
i of said county and State.
Notices containing the petition
will be left at each bank in BROOKE
haven and those interested are ask
ed to sign it without further solici-
tation.
The Leader hopes there will be a
large list Of signatures. Dipping
watts are of no avail unless the tick
infested cattle are quarantined from
those redeemed from the vile pest.
Let Beat ! be an opening wedge
for the whole county. We have
| the best county in the State and
should make the most of it.
Tick fever infects milk i; and tick
infected cows are not the COWS
from which milk is wanted for
family use or for the dairy as a
base of supply for the public de-
mand.
Lincoln county does not want to
be humiliated by a quarantine that
Twill deny her shipment of cattle
into the counties that have adopted
tick eradication and she certainly
doesn' t want any more Of the ticks
than she has. We don't want to
be dumping ground for refuse
cattle, in other words.
The only thing to do at last is to
take measures to, eradicate the
whole county Of the cattle pest.
Let the Board declare the stock
law for Beat and other communi-
ties will soon catch up.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL FIELD
Strong Markets in London and
BerIin-PariS Irregular.

London, April 1.-THE opening OF the
stock market to-day revealed practically
no changes from Wednesdays closing
prices, due probably to the fact that the
reduction i'm the Bank OF England rate
from ) To Az per cent had been predicted
and largely discounted. Following the
opening an Improvement was shown In
home rails buying being stimulated by
supporting orders from the Continent. A
generally cheerful feeling prevailed on
the better political outlook and the lower
open market discount rates. The heavi-
ness shown In Consols was due to the new
issue. and declines in other shares were
a result Of profit taking.
The opening of American securities was
at fractionally higher prices. Good trad
ing was shown during the day, ana under
the leadership Of Canadian Pacific the
list advanced and the closing was steady.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Slightly Firmer Tone to Prices
in Dull Trading.

Hope was given a bright touch after
the opening yesterday, when signs of
strengthening in the list were exhibited
and a firmer tone in prices was shown
There was reason TO suppose that
betterment was about to begin. owing
TO the decided Improvement in the for
eign markets and the European situa-
ton generally. American stocks came
in at an advance in the quotations from
London. and the reduction in the Bank
of England rate indicated much easier
condition i'm the money market abroad.
The situation in the local stock mar
ket changed very soon after the early
performances. which carried prices
little higher. trading became dull and
the tone relapsed into a state OF mac
tivity. while the whole market gave
signs of sinking back to lower levels.
Transactions developed in the course or
the day were in Amalgamated Copper,
Reading. Union Pacific and United
States Steel for the most part. and In
these issues a firm tone prevailed
through to the close Of the market.
American Can was also firm, but was
not heavily traded in. Strength was
exhibited in California Petroleum com
mon and Mexican Petroleum Cana
dian Pacific was quite strong. although
not active. and this was also true OF
Consolidated Gas, Illinois Central, Lee
high Valley, New York Central. North
ern Pacific and some of the specials.
Weakness, as a rule, however was con
fined 10 the specials and 10 American
Telegraph and Telephone. American
Tobacco and few others, some OF
which recorded only one transaction
during the session.
A slightly improved tone was shown
in the bond market in some Of the high
class issues but the process OF levelling
values among the more speculative
issues continued 10 be in evidence. The
news of IT, day impaired little TO in
huence the stock market one way or
the other. The Union Pacihc's attempt
tc disentangle its affairs from the
Southern Pacific was recalled by the
report from Washington that efforts
were being made to obtain an extension
of the time rate for disposing OF the
Southern Pacific stock. Some questions
of a political nature in the way OF the
effect of tariff changes and measures
calculated to restrict operations Of stock
trading which were said to be under
consideration I'm Congress were topics
Of discussion in the financial district.
Considerable talk OF new financing
and rumors regarding possible issues
were INDUCED in, but the supposed in
formation was Of an indefinite char
acter and presented no basis for future
calculation a slightly easier tone was
shown in short time money, while call
rates were quoted at %. per cent for re
newals.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

The market on the Consolidated Stock

good and strong. It is true that
the price of the dairy cow has
not yet materially declined, but
this is due to the local demands
forthem created by the creamery
at the college. Before spring
we shall! surely feel the effects OF
the quarantine.
Is it fair, gentlemen, to allow
the beef man to have an open
market while the dairy is fenced
up IN this country? Is 1t not
safe to predict that unless free
trade is given the dairy COW will
like the buffalo be extinguished
aud the few beef grazers be
enabled to fix the price of our
COWS and this while the weevil is
destroying our cotton.
Let US face the matter like
men and give all ''a square deal",
1t will in a measure recompense
for the loss sustained from the
weevil. 1t is the dairy cow-not
the beef cow-from which most OF
the children of the county will
gain this sustenance.
