ney ]. r. Witter. The commission
was a unit in favor of paying the bill.
the difficulty being 10 find something
TO pay the bill with. There is not suf-
fcient money in the health fund to
settle the claim
Yesterday afternoon Commissioner
Hart reported that he had conferred
with Attorney Witter and that the
latter had informed him that this
could not be classed as an emergency
claim, and therefore did not see from
what source the money would be avail
able. II was suggested that a vouch-
er be given DIR. Craig. although if not
marked "emergency- there was a ques-
t:on whether Il would be honored at
local banks. II was suggested by Com
missioner Rudgren that DIR. Craig sub
NIT a bill for all cases up to date.
This was agreed TO, and the matter
will once more be up for considera-
ton next Monday afternoon.

DIR. Craig submitted the following

city. II was necessary to go from

and ! had to employ an assistant.

work day and night, and demoralized

Il required accurate diagnosis. and !
my diagnoses were all verified by the /
state inspector. called by Mr.. Hart. !
Hundreds were vaccinated. Fffty-one |
cases were placed under quarantine
with guards. others without guards.
There was a total OF 101 cases-an
alarming number. The disease was
confined with the greatest difficulty to
the southeastern part Of the city,
where it had gained a foothold when
discovered. The epidemic was hand
led not only so that II did not spread
over the city, but also at a saving of
over 80 per cent TO the taxpayers.

The Markets
ttt+++ ++++++t+++4444..4At

Exports Of western boxed apples for
the l9l3-14 season amounted to S67,-
346 boxes as against l,3e2,s76 in 1911
10. At the same time thero were ex-
ported 1,775,937 barrels from Atlantic
ports.
The unusually warm weather sent
the Strawberries to market with a rush
and this will continue for a day or so
c. least. Only a strong shipping de-
mand prevented the market being
terly demoralized. Unless there is rain
soon, the season will he an unusually
short one, as the ground is dry and the
berries will fail to develop. A few
days without rain will see only small
and poor berries in the market. This
means that now is the time to can.
With present outlook. those waiting for
canning berries win be sadly disap-
pointed.
Wool values are advancing rapidly
and the market is very strong. A sale
of 100000 pounds of Texas mohair is
reported at 27 to 2S cents. All kinds
of cereals are dull, and dealers are
ehary on account of tho. time as condi-
tions may change in the next few
weeks so that prices may 60 strongly
either way. The butter market is now
steady, as Alaska is taking all of the
surplus. Eggs are unchanged and the
market is strong, the demand from the
north holding prices steady.
