FURTHER COMPARISON
Of EARLY AND LATE
TREATMENT CHOLERA
ALL OF HUGH PoRTER'S HOGS
RECOVERED, W. r. SCOTT
LOST SEVERAL.
PORTER PRAISES SERUM METHOD
Says That the Results of Early Treat
nent by the Federal Officials Were
Highly Satisfactory-Scott Waited
and Results Not So Goodo.
(By DR.. J. P. O'Connor.)

We again present to the farmers
comparison of a herd of hogs treat
"a as soon as sickness was discov-
cred and one in which treatment was
ueIayed for a considerable period.
On Nov End, H. V. Porter, of Will
transport, called this office stating
mat he had sick hogs. We immedi-
d'eIy went to see what was wrong
aad post norton examination showed
cnolera. We at once treated these
uogS with the gratifying results
shown below
Number of hogs, 40; number not
treated, immunes, 2; number not
treated, advanced disease, 0; number
Killed for autopsy, /; number sick
uosS treated, 6; number we'll hogs
treated, 81. Result of treatment:
wen hogs at treatment, died, o. sick
Jugs at treatment, died, 0.
NOW we will take the herd of W.
scott, who did not call us until his
uogS had been sick for twelve days,
" MS own knowledge: Number of
Jugs IS; number not treated, i'm

mere is no reason to suppose that

Jugs after treatment than Mr.. Por.
lost had he called us as soon as
ue noticed his first sick hog.

not exceeding fifty dollars per month
for the time employed. All road
work under the direction of tie CON-
mission must be done by contract.
Before letting or awarding any con-
tracts the commission must advertise

COTTON M0VES|N
 NARROW RANGE Close at Net Gain of 2 to 4 Points on the List at
 New Orleans

New Orleans, January 26.-The price of cotton moved within a narrow range to- day, July at the highest standing points up compared with yesterdays last fig ures, and at the lowest points down The close was at net gain of 2 to points on the list. At times liquidation of the long interest weighed against values, but there was little special short selling. On the other hand it could not be said that there was much of any special buying. The main supporting influence was the continued heavy export movement, all ports clearing for the day 61,442 bales, bringing exports for the season up to B. 521,217 bales. Bulls predict that this will be one of the largest weeks of the season as regards exports, owing, to the pressure to fill and clear end of January shipments.
 Spot markets were generally unchanged. but private reports said that, in many cases, buyers were forced to pay small premiums for desirable lots. In parts of Texas it was said that only the rem nants of the crop were available to work on.

NEW RECORD PRICE
 IS MADE IN WHEAT
July Makes Sudden Leap of Nearly , Cents a Bushel.
 Close Unsettled

Chicago, January 26.-signs that ex- port buying of wheat had outrun the sup ply and was grabbing at next summer s crop today brought new record war prices for wheat, corn and oats. July wheat made a sudden lead of nearly 5c bushel Wheat as a whole closed greatly unsettled at s.c to 4Gi4xc net over last night. Corn gained Mc to ssd%c net and oats 1sdSsc to Pc. The finish in provisions ranged from 71ac decline to an advance of shade
 Short wheat sellers appeared stunned when word was passed around that a cargo of the 1915 crop had been sold al the seaboard, transaction believed to be without any January parallel. It had been popular course with bears to seek to depress the July option because of next years large acreage.
 Stampede covering on the part of shorts in July wheat was at the highest point just before the close. May, heretofore the chief speculative month, took a very sec ondary place Tn volume of trading, but In the last half hour reached new top level, S1. 467s
 Waves of buying carried corn upward with wheat Corn also was influenced by reports of large Canadian takngs.
 Oats also was said to be in active de- mand by Canada. In addition seaboard exporters were credited with heavy buy ing.
 Quarantine difficulties made provisions lower.

NEW YORK MARKET
 |SLESS ACTIVE
Losses in Cotton More Than Recovered, However, in
 the Late Trading

New York, January 26.-Cotton was somewhat less active today and fuetua- tions were irregular, but losses were more than recovered in the late trading and the close was very steady at net ad- vance of 8 to points.
 The market opened steady at decline of 1 point on February, but generally 1 to points higher in response to relatively steady cables and the steady showing of the southern spot markets late yesterday. There was some buying by houses with German connections as we'll as scattered covering and a little commission house support, but the demand was neither &C., tive nor aggressive and after selling about 8 to points net higher, the market turned easier under reports that the east ern belt was selling hedges here, selling by some of the local spot houses and a renewal of local pressure or liquidation.
 The consequent break carried active months some or points under last nights closing figures. At this level sell ing became less active and the market later rallied rather sharply on covering, renewal of foreign buying and con siderable demand from Wall street and western sources. Closing prices were practically the best of the day.
 Talk of easier spot offerings in the east ern belt was followed to some extent by the declines officially reported in the markets at Savannah, Norfolk and Au- gusta but southern selling here was less active during the afternoon and a good many of the private reports coming in claim that interior holders will not offer their cotton at declines and that the bal ance of the crop will be marketed slowly.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.,sLetter

New York, January 26--tSpecial.)-Cab this morning were about as due and Liv- erpool was again seller here on ar bitrage, the cotton being absorbed early by some buying from German houses who appear to have re-entered the market, although on a moderate scale. Some sell ing from New Orleans on reports of easier spot markets and selling by our local traders carried prices off to about yes terdays low.
 No pressure appeared from the south and the market easily recovered in the afternoon on a very moderate volume of business. It is natural that after a long advance. followed by a reaction, senti- ment should be rather against the mar ket Nevertheless, the spot demand con- tinues fair, and no weakness has as vel appeared
 In the meantime, our domestic mills do not appear to have bought at all freely

STOCK EXCHANGE HAS DULL SESSION Prominent Stocks Move Within Extremely Mar
 row Limits

New York. January 25.-Prominent stocks moved within extremely narrow limits during today's dull and irregular session. Canadian Pacific shares. Erie first preferred, Western Maryland and the southern group of railroads were up from 1 to almost points. as were a few speealties like American Sugar, Beet Sugar, Western Union, Westinghouse and Pittsburg Coal preferred. Sears-Roebuck advanced points.
 The rise in the shares of the cotton roads was the more inexplcable from the fact that the Southern railway reported unfavorable earnings in December, op- erating revenues falling off over $1,SO0,0O0 with net loss of $s14,0O0. Union Pacific by reducing it's expenses showed a small net gain, while Atchison, regardless of in- creased expenses, made a net gain of s460,- o0o
 United States Steel was a feature of interest because of the quarterly meet ing of the directors, the result from which was not made public until after the mar ket closed. The statement disclosed total earnings of only $10933,170 for the last three months of 1914, the poorest showing Tn the history of the corporation, and was accompanied by the announcement that it had been decided to suspend diyi- dends on the common shares.
 Other news bearing upon the financial situation included sharp rise in foreign exchange, not only on London. but on Paris as well, francs rising to new high quotations. The advance was attributed to purchases of commercial bills on these centers to meet heavy expenditures in this country.
 Trading was slow in London where American securities were again prominent for theeir easier tendency. Foreign sell ing of Steel and the Pacifics was reported by local banking interests.
 The bond market showed more strength than stocks, low-priced issues adding to recent gains Total sales par value, were $2370,000
