Chicago, Nov. ti. A lurgo liart of
the cattle receiving and me it parking
industry of the country, Ionic centered
In Chicago, tonight temporarily was
shifted to Kansas City, Omaha, Bl.
Joseph, Mo., and other western cities,
and the Chicago union stock yardn,
for the first time since its organiza
tion In 1865, was closed down for nine
days in consequence of the presence
of hoof and mouth disease among
cattle. The quarantine against tthe
stock yards and all other cattle pens
within the state went Into effect at
midnight. Tho stute's action supple
ments the federal quarantine against
Illinois.
No more cattle, sjieep or hogs are
to be received In Chicago until No
vember 16, when business Is to bo re
sumed after tho yards have been thor
oughly disinfected and pronounced
free from the disease.
The packers tonight sent to Kansas
City and their other western branches
1,000 killers and butchers to kill and
dress the animals which ordinarily
would have been sent to Chicago.
- They announced that- the . products
from their western plants would be
sufficient to supply the market with
out any change in prices.
An optimistic view was taken of the
situation here. All the packers said
they had enough stock on hand to run
their plants for three or four days,
and none of them would entirely shut
down, A. G. Leonard, president of
the stock yards, said:
General (leaning I p.
"Hy the middle of next week every'
animal In the yards will have been
killed and. the thousands of pens and j
miles of water troughs will have been I
cleaned and disinfected. 1 feel confl-j
dent full operations might be resumed j
by next Thursday, but as the clean-up
is to be thorough,' and as such a vital i
point the health of our cattle
throughout the state Is at stake, a
few days' further delay won't matter.
Our only apprehension is that tho dis
ease might spread In other states
which the government might quarnn
tlnn and we would be unable to get
cuttle even when tho Illinois quaran
tine is lifted. However, the drastic
iK tion of the federal government has
the full co-operation of cattlemen

Washington, Nov. 6. Further

at Parnolllu, tho first case west of the

The spread of the disease makes
certain an increased cost of putting
down the epidemic. It would not sur
prise officials if the cost would be
nearer the J 2,000,000 expended by the
German government to eradicate the
disease from among its cattle, a few
years ago, than the 1300,000 spent by
the American government In fighting
the 1908 outbreak of the disease. The
expense of having Inspectors trace the

New York, Nov. . Two develop
ments, of distinct tiiunlfleii tiro Mora rn.
Disinfecting Is proceeding night and j voided in the financial situation to
day at the slock yards. Hpectators
who formerly, from the elevated
gangways, saw lierds of cattle noVV be
hold acres of empty pens from most
of which spout streams of pungent
disinfectant. A notice cautioning peo
ple not to enter tho pens occupied by
affected cattle said:
"Those, who do will have to under
go a very disugrecublo form of fumi
gation." The herd of COO infected cattlo or
iginally found was augmented by the
discovery today of 216 more cattlo and
0,00 hogs which were affected
sheep so far have been affected.
The collection of 800 prize cuttle
brought here for last week's dairy
show from twenty-eight states and
Canada is still held In quarantino.
Eighteen of the herd have been in
fected. The owners today formed an
organisation to protect the remaining
cattle and prevent, if possible, their
being contaminated. The state live
stock commissioners said 'it would be
unwise to remove the prize cattle be
fore It had been definitely established
that they were uninfected. The herd
Is valued ut several million dollars.
Anticipating a stronger demand for
poultry by reason of the epidemic of
foot and mouth disease among cattle,
the price of live fowl has advanced
4 cents a pound In the last forty-eight
hours. The price of dressed meats
so far has not been advanced, and as
surances given by the packers a're to
the effect that it will not be.
The killing of cattle and swine ill
' f the discs.ee continued at the stock
yards and disinfectants were spread
in every nook and cranny of the place.
Pour more prize winners at the re
cent dairy show were taken sick and
isolated for observation.
Ogden A rmour, head of Armour
& Co., issued a statement to the effect
day. One was the rather free lending
of six months money at i 3-4 per cent
on mixed collateral as against the
long standing C per cent rate, and the
other was the sale of tho New York
city 6 per cent three-year notes, which
were Issued at par at a price to yield
only 4. OH per cent. Incidentally com
mercial paper was accepted for the
shorter periods at a fraction under 6
per cent.
In line with this general improve
ment it was also learned that the
stock exchange authorities will, with-

plied, however, that anything like reg

bonds and notes were suld to have
approximated 12, 000, 000 par value.
Aside from the demand for city is
sues the notes of. several of the more
prominent railway companies were In
active request at prices returning
from 4 to 5 per cent. Listed stocks
were higher In the unofficial market,
and on tho curb a majority of the
standard oil issues were quoted at
prk'tB above July 30 closing quota
tions. There was more than the usual di
vergence of opinion respecting the
weekly cush movement, but on the
surface it would appear that local
banks have lost considerable sums to
the sub-treasury. It remains to be
seen whether this loss will be large
enough to efface the railroads' cash
reserves built up during the preceding
fortnight.
Bank clearings of the country show
little betterment, except in the agri
cultural sections and certain manu
facturing centers whose industries
have benefited by sales of merchan
dise to the warring nations. Cotton
continued to be one of the chief ar
ticles of export, but the sharp ad
vance In marine war risks has had a
marked tendency toward the curtail
ment of shipments to nil foreign

Tho fall of lYhif-tMti ends the most
picturesque of the minor phases of tho

continents und in many of the islands
of the seas, where colonies of the
warring nations were planted, combats
of more or less Interest have taken
pluoe. garrisons havo been captured
and towna occupied peacefully, but In
the little German concession on the
south side of the Shan-tung peninsula
of China there has been going on,
since late in August, a reduced scalo
of war thut from all accounts has du
plicated nearly all the features of
those battles in Europe that have re
sulted In the capture of fortified po
sitions. The capture of Tslng-tau
loses to Germany her last foot of pos
sessions on the Asiatic mainland as
well as her last strategic position out
side of the German empire In Europe.
Klcge of Three Months.
For nearly three months the little
German garrison, amounting to about
7,000 men and nearly wholly com
posed of reservists, who were living
or doing business in China, has held
out against tho lund und sea attacks
of the Jupanese and of certain British
detachments of both white and Indian
troops that found themselves In China
at tho outbreak of tho war. What
the losses of the garrison have been
are not known, but the official Jap
anese and British reports have Indi
cated that Tslng-liiu has been taken
at a heavy cost of men on tho part of
the allies. ,
Ihphii Knlcr War,
It wus on August 15 thut Japan
threw herself Into tho European war
as an ally of Great Britain after de
manding that Germany withdraw or
Intern all German warships In Asiatic
waters and relinquish possession of
Kiao-Chow. In the statement from
Tokio that accompanied this demand
Japan asserted her intentions were
purely military and did not contem
plate the retention of one foot of
j ground on Chinese territory and later
urririned that she did not intend to
extend her holdings in the island of
the Pacific that might full into her
possession during tho campaign.
Her demands Ignored, when the ul
timatum expired a week later, Japan
proceeded cautiously with plans to
seize the German settlement oil tho
Chinese mainland.

severe of these engagements, on Oc

Japanese loss was 1,700 killed und 800

.the Japanese would await the arrival
of siege guns before continuing oper
ations. At various times German
losses were reported up to a score
or more.
On the night of October 17 oc

The Germans also had five forts ex

An Interesting document in con

the proclamation which the German
governor posted on August 22. In
this he aald:
"Never shall we surrender the
smallest bit of ground over which the
German flag is flying. 'From this
