have been so exposed for more than 5
days. Hogs, though they may not
show physical symptoms OF cholera,
may in some instances be affected
with the disease to such an extent
that immunization will not protect
them
Value Of 5.Day Limit
If the 5-day limit were not applied,
many animals in this condition might
be shipped to the feed lots, which
would result in serious financial loss
to the buyer through a high percen-
tage of mortality, besides creating a
center of infection in that commun-
ity.
1t is not permissible to immunize
swine for immediate shipment inter-
estate if they show symptoms of con-
tagious or infectious disease.
II considerable Of the animals in
a lot is found to have high tempera-
lures, the possible presence of such
disease is indicated, and the animals
are not immunized or permitted to be
shipped interstate. It Is possible to
have hogs with high temperatures as
a result of conditions surrounding the
shipment to market, in which case
they will return to normal within a
short time.
In these instances, the owner Is
permitted to present the animals for
denomination as frequently as de-
sired within the 5-day limit, and II,
upon denomination, they are found
to be normal their immunization is
supervised, and after they are disin-
fected a certificate covering their In
terstate movement is issued. This
provision is for the purpose of afford
, ing the owner every opportunity con-
sistent with safety to the swine in
dustry to market his shipment in the
most profitable way.

In an effort to protect the swine In
dustry of the country against the pos
sibility Of introducing sick hogs into
we'll herds, and at the same time to
permit the shipment from stockyards
Of stocker and feeder hogs, the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
conducts a system Of vaccination
against cholera as a part OF Its in
spection service at the various stock
yard centers. More than $4,000 hogs
we're immunized for shipment as
stockers and feeders from stockyards
of IS cities during the six months
from July to December, 1918, inclu-
sive. To accomplish this without
spreading disease, in the face OF all
the attendant dangers required, OF
required, Of course, such close care
that the wisdom Of some phases OF the
inspection system may not have been
always apparent to all concerned. A
description Of the conditions under
which stockers and feeder cattle are
inspected is contained in statement
recently issued by the R"rnou of AMI
NAL Industry of the Department
With swine moving by carloads and
trainloads from producing areas into
public stockyards Of the country, says
the statement, the pens Of such yards
are inevitably infected with the COM
mon swine diseases, Of which cholera
is the most important. Owing to this
condition Federal regulations former
" required the slaughter of swine re-
ceived, but after the serum and virus
treatment against hog cholera was
standardized, the possibility of re-
shipping immature hogs for further
feeding resulted in a modification of
the rules. Under the plan now In
force swine properly vaccinated and
disinfected may be reshipped for any
purpose including breeding.
Purpose and Methods Of Inspection
Immunizing hogs against cholera is
a veterinary procedure, including the
preventive-serum treatment, taking OF
temperatures, and observing the con-
dition of the animal during the test
period. Necessarily the official regu-
lations are of technical character. and

partment Of Agriculture that in some

STOCK PRICES MOVE UP
AS SHORTS BEAT RETREAT
Oils, Motors and Other Highly Speculative Shares Led the
FortUard Increment

New York, Dec. 19.-While retain
ing its highly professional character to-
day s stock market developed a tone of
decided strength. Technical conditions
unquestionably accounted for this fresh
upward turn, as there was every cvi
dence of free covering of shorts all
around the room. News and develop
ments altogether favored the cOnstruc-
tive side, which furnished a powerful
tulcrum for the clique and poe man
ayers lever in raising the market level.
smart rally in sterling exchange
after fresh opening break with the g
per cent call money rate supplied the
principal bullish ammunition. Supple
mentary factors were supplied in the
defeat of the sugar control bill in the
House yesterday; the understanding
that the President would sign the Edge
bill today and increasing confidence of
early action on the peace treaty.
AS the market has practically been
running in n circle during the current
week and for some little time back, it
is altogether reasonable to suppose by
reason of the rather free selling yester-
day it reached what may be termed an
automatic over sold condition. From
the start there was a strong inclination
exhibited by the bear contingent to
cover. These operations disclosed Il
very limited supply of stocks. which
naturally increased the desire to cut
down the short commitments. and as
this desire became more urgent that
much faster were prices marked mp,
and that much broader became the for
ward or recovery movement.
The opening was of the usual mixed
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-12-19

There was better demand for most
OF the. local stocks and at the same
time there was evidence of continued
liquidation in the high grade invest
ment stocks and bonds As the demand
about equaled the supply price varia =
tion were slight. In stocks the aver
age was higher, while in bonds the
average was lower.
The trading in both departments was
fairly active and fairly well distributed,
but in the majority of cases was mostly
odd lot transactions. Pennsylvania
Railroad was sold freely yet was well
absorber, as indicated in the relative
stability of the quotation at 40H. In
the bond division the heaviest offerings
were in Reading general As, and in the
Electric and Peoples As, the former
yielding to 1874 and the latter to 50M
Lehigh Valley general As were also on
tap, declining to 69A, while the 41as
yielded to 77H. Pennsylvania Railroad
general as sold at S0A, slight con-
cession from the previous sale. At the
same time all the Liberty Bonds were
sold freely.
The conspicuous heaviness of such an
array of what may be safely designated
as the very cream of investment secu-
rites would be expected to give a chill
did put n damper on market interest,
but otherwise was without influence.
On the contrary, the market, as a
whole, while having a tired appearance
was inclined to do better, and did so to
Il relatively small degree.
The improved tone of the market pos =
sibly came in for more attention because
of these circumstances and because OF
the absence of any stimulating develop
ment of n local character. The animated

character. Substantial advances in oil,
shipping and food shares impaired Il
degree Of strength to the carly deal
ings, although this was offset by the
heavincss of railroad and metal shares
and the public utilities. BY reason OF
the rounding up of the shorts the oil
group assumed more commanding po-
sition during the morning, especially
Mexican Petroleum, Texas Oil and Cal
ifornia Petroleum.
The spirited upbdding of these
highly speculative issues stimulated an
active demand for kindred shares, also
the equipments and the more popular
steel isucs. The coppcrs, which at
the opening were disposed to sag, also

FEELING
TOWARD MARKET
Increasing Confidence Displayed
by Buyers When Supply Was
Found Limited
TRADING WAS PROFESSIONAL

New York Dee. 19.-Thc New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
Stocks advanced sufficiently today to
encourage the proponents of higher
prices and to cause further belated short
covering by those who have been re-
luCtant to admit that the bear side has
been Ovprdone. However. there was
nothing to indicate that the market was
about to move out of the trading area
in which it has been swinging for the
last fortnight. although sentiment in the
Street was much more cheerful today
than il has been lattcrly.
Starting out hesitatingly. the market
developed progressive strength until
well into the afternoon, buyers pro-
ceeding with increasing confidence when
it was seen that the supply of stocks
for sale was limited While the vol
ume of business transacted was some
what above the recent average, trad
ing was still largely professional. 1t
was not until industrial shares had
been pushed up l to g points, and in
some cases more. that the buying move
ment showed signs of slackening.
The better feeling toward the market
was brought about in a negative way
Jldt Is, Ilp Dhl IPuluItS III the HHuHtt
skies have become stale as market in
fluences and no new excuse could be
found in the days news for selling
stocks.
The uncertainty of Washington poll
ties continues damper on the market,
however. Advocates of the bull position
hold the view that, in accordance with
it's usual custom, stock prices have al
ready discounted the unfavorabe pos
sibilities of the situation, and that from
now on the market should improve in
anticipation of some sort of solution
of the railroad and peace treaty tangle,
which has grown so acute there is moth
ing left for Washington TO do but rush
through some sort of constructive legis-
lation. When this comes to pass, it is
argued, security prices will already
have made good recovery from their
depressed levels.
Word from Washington this after
noon suggested that the Cummins rail-
road bill would pass in the Senate to-
night before Congress recessed for the
Christmas holidays. 1t did not appear
probable, however, that any peace
treaty action would be taken. Never
theless. indications that Congress was
ready to put through its own peace
settlement without Waiting on Presi"
dent Wilson, contributed to the more
! hopeful feeling in the street.
Among the issues which stood out in
the days dealings We're the steel stocks
| for which there was an excellent de-
mand. United States Steel got ur
around 1O5 in the early afternoon, and
even larger gains were made by some
of the other steel shares.
A sidelight on the steel situation is
afforded by the announcement that
various manufacturers will not make
the customary holiday shutdown due
to the fact that they are ofar behind
in deliveries. Although there has been
no important railroad buying, steel
manufacturers see no chance of keep
ing up with orders for some time to
come
