CATTLE DISEASED
 MARKETS CLOSED
Dreaded Foot and Mouth Disease Found Prevailing In the Gen.
 trai States.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3-The government meat inspectors have closed all live stock markets here because it has been found that the dreaded foot and mouth disease is prevalent. All stock markets in Ohio, Michigan and Indi. ana have been closed.
 As a result of the closing of the markets hogs have jumped 25 cents hundred weight The spread of the disease is feared and drastic meas ures are to be taken by the govern nent. Several hundred extra veteri- naries have been secured to inspect cattle and order those killed which are afflicted.
 The foreign demand for packed meats is so heavy that prices have been going up and with a large part of the supply cut off it is feared that American consumers will pay dear for meat this winter.
 As a result of the discovery the international stock show which was scheduled to be held in this city this month has been abandoned, as owners of blooded cattle would not care to send them here.
