MANY CASES Of
STRANGE INFECTION

The doctors report many cases OF a
strange form of infection. The cases
are not confined to the town nor to
any particular part of the county, and
they are so numerous as to be look.
ed upon almost as an epidemic.
The origin Of the trouble is not
known, but may be from some strange
vegetable growth.
The trouble generally starts from
a scratch or bruise on the hand and
then follows up the arm. causing swell.
ings under the arm. The trouble so
far has not been serious in any case
but is very annoying.

Chicago. Jan. 29.--Despite higher
quotations at Liverpool and Paris
good deal Of selling pressure today was
put on the market here. Many traders
took the view that the recent steep ad-
vance had made something of a re-
action a natural thing to look for and
that the new upturns in Europe had
merely reflected the course Of prices IN
America. Buyers here, however, quick
ly took advantage Of a break and there
was soon a rally. After opening I'M
changed to &c higher and then falling
to more than a cent under last night,
the market steadied with losses fully
recovered.
The close was nervous at ~ to Ike
net lower.
Corn swayed with wheat. Longs were
conspicuous sellers but commission
houses absorbed the offerings. The
start, which varied from Nc decline to
Nc advance, was followed by moder-
ate setback all around, and then a good
upturn.
The close was steady sol to 1Ac
net lower.
In oats as in other grain, rush of
selling carried prices down. Demand,
though subsequently proved to have
the greater force.
Provisions averaged higher. A rise
in the value Of hogs was the influence
that received the most attention.
