At the Union stock yards trade was
trifie more active, yet there was very little
or no change to note IN prices in fat cattle
and good butchers stock. Shippers for
the seaboard markets, and buyers for the
pressed beef trade and buyers of export
catsle seemed TO want more cattle than any
day this week, and yesterday was the first
day that thr shipments TO eastsrn markets
showed anything like former activity.
Stock cattle continued scarce, and prime
lots selected and good breeding are selling
at high prices. The chances are that
less cattle for any day this week would be
left unsold at the close. No far west or
Texas on sale. A few stock calves were on
the market, while prime fat veal calves
are rsthsr scarce.
Among the nogs traffic opened with
quito boom, and up to noon sruled &C.
tive at an advance of 5@10c on nearly all
sorts. The greatest advance, however,
was on choice heavy, many lots making
S696.10, one as 1920 and a runorsd sale
at higher figures. Packers
opened the market and held
possession of ths same during
entire morning Spectators readily accept
ed the surrsnt rates for lots that had ac-
cumulated cn their hands, clearing them
out ct the rate of s5G6. Lots of shoics
packing sold Et S5. 70@5.9o, fair to good
$5.50@5 65 and rough at $4.90@ 5.25.
Bew lots were taken by packers as high as
Sc. The demand for light was rot as
strong as thai for heavy, yet they came in
for gsod share Of tha advance, and ssld
at from $5@5.5o. Large lots of skips
Ters disposed Of at $4@4.50. Nineteen
packing honses are ct work, but they are
not RAINING up to their capacity.
Armour has cut down his facilities from

Notwithstanding this the packers took
$4,000, of which Armour was the buyer of

The stock of sheep has been accumu-
lating for several days, so that the number
on sale this morning was largely in excess
of the demand, which has not been slow
one by any means, but there has been tco
many for the want5 of the trade. Large
numbers of good lois were held over last
night, for which statesmen could not get
satisfactory offers. The whole matter is,

New YORK, Dec 2l.-Ths movement OF gen.
eral merchandise during the week showed fall
ing away as compared with the week preceding.
This was largely due to the customary decline in
Wholesale purchases just prior to and during
the holiday ses son. In industrial lines wages
have been and are about to be very generally re-
duced. The steel rail mills have nearly all sue
cseded in arranging with their nen for 10 per

manufacturers in New England have ourtaiIed
production by employing fewer work
aen. Thread and print mills
are discussing like action. The market fer raw
irsn Is irregular. Prices are obtained e. rates
distressing to those making them, Hanufac-
tured iron is as dull as ever. The Pennsylvania
mills have very generally closed down until after
the holidays. The orders reported here for
steel rails aggregate about 2s,t0s tons. There
have been important features in the grain
market. Refined petroleum has been in higher
request, but the refixers havshe the prices up
to 91e for ~ cegre test, without offerings.
Certificates have been dali ao1 declining.
Anthracite has been stiffened by the proposed
measures for a still further restriction of the
production. The last recorded output shows

freights were dull bat steady under light offer
ings There has been steady, moderate de-
mard for wool sad the markets shows except

gonds market has been very dull and
without features worthy Of mentisn.
Merchants are engaging in liquidation to Ger

ing the expected effect of reducing stocks to
any great extent. The demand for prints has
been quiet. 4 medsrate trade has seen done IL
