General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Continued i'm
provement in sentiment, additional
ease in money market matters, in
creased interest in stocks and bonds
at higher prices, heavy grain exports,
sustained demand for war materials
at remunerative prices, high prices for
cereals and live stock, somewhat bet
ter collections, excellent winter wheat
conditions and undeniable betterment
in the southern cotton situation, due
to rise in exports, furnish budget
of favorable news this week.
On the other hand there is consid-
cradle idleness, which reduces the
purchasing power in many sections
and warm weather adversely affects
retail trade while likewise restricting
recorders.

mittee Working Carefully.

Washington, Nov. 16.-With' the
opening Monday of the IL federal re-
serve banks, the nation began actual
operation of its new currency system
designed to provide an elastic circu-
lating medium based upon modern
ideas of finance and economics.
1t has taken the reserve bank organ
ization committee and the federal re-
serve board almost IL months to work
out details of organization to the point
where an opening date was chosen.
Notwithstanding careful deliberations
which preceded every preliminary
step, the IL banks will not for many
weeks take up and exercise all the
functions bestowed upon them by con
gress. Such evolution as will result
from the old national banking system
of necessity will in most respects be
slow. The reserve board, the guiding
spirit of the new system, is itself feel
ing its way over strange ground and
the men in charge of the 10 banks
probably will feel the same desire tc
work slowly and with sureness rather
than be venturesome.

LIVESTOCK DIEAsEs EXPLAINED
Farmers Should Be Familiar With
symptoms of Disease.

Hitherto the United States has been
so free from foot and mouth disease
that comparatively few farmers are
familiar with the symptoms or appre-
ciate the seriousness of the present
outbreak which has led to the quar-
antine by the United States govern
ment of large areas. In the United
States the disease has appeared only
on five previous occasions-namely,
1870, 1880, 1884, 1923 and 1908. Of
these the last two were much the most
serious, and the outbreak in 1908 cost
the United States department of agri-
culture $299,112 to stamp it out. The
disease is so contagious that If one
animal in a herd is infected there is
practically no possibility of keeping
the others from becoming diseased.
Foot and mouth disease is defined as
"an acute and highly contagious fever
of a specific nature characterized by
the eruption of the vesicles of the
mouth, around the coronets of the feet
and between the toes" 1t affects prin-
cipally cattle, hogs, sheep and goats.
The germ of the disease is an organ
ism so small that it can not even be
detected by the microscope. 1t may be
spread in one or a dozen ways-car
ried on the clothing, in hay, straw
fodder, conveyed by direct contact OF
picked up from the ground over which
diseased animals have passed. First
indications are a chill, which is quick
ly followed by a fever In a day OF
two small vesicles about the size Of
hemp seed or peas appear about the
mucous membranes of the mouth, OF
the upper surface of the tongue, the
inside of the cheeks, on the gums ant
the inner surface of the lips. These
vesicles contain a yellow, watery fluiC
and spread rapidly. Soon after the.
first appear in the mouth the feet be
come red, swollen and tender. Thi
is followed by an eruption similar t.
those in the mouth.

The latest official account of the

neither side has been able to gair
any material advantage.
