The Cattle Market.

Special Dispatch to THE LEADER.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3O.-The cattle market
is strong and active. With supplies av-
eraging only about 5000 to 5000 head
per day, it is only natural that the advant-
age should be with sellers. From ship
pers on the hoof the demand is a little
slack, but the activity among the dressed
beef firms more than offsets this. Buyers
are out in the yards early each day and
keep right at work until the pens are
emptied. Statesmen who have suffered SO
long are making a vigorous push for
higher prices, and although there was
some grumbling an advance of 10000
has been recorded. The vigor Of the
movement resulting from the sharp
competition is truly refreshing.
Drovers have had a hard
row to hoe; lol these many weeks, but
everybody who had cattle here this week
has made money. Values haye bulged up
55(G70c. above the low point of two
weeks ago, and it would be a little sur
prising if the next few days should not
witness a reaction, but the ultimate en-
dency of the market is upward-unques-
tionably upward. Storms and snow block
AIDES have undoubtedly kept a great many
cattle back, and the scarcity may be fol-
lowed by a rush of stock. Hence those
who have cattle and are so situated that
they can carry them along a few months
are certain to realize a big advance on
prices recently current. This weeks gain
has been on all grades, but there is n
more pronounced change in medium to
good sorts than in common to choice.
Very few of the offerings are of prime
quality and prices above 81. 60 are paid in
comparatively few instances, while in the
absence of extra beeves buyers in many
instances had to put up with mmoner
steers than they wanted, for there is a
marked scarcity of that class Of fancy
stock that sold so extensively a week
ago at $4,000. Shippers purchases are
now chiefly at $4,000 90, while dressed
beef steers sell at SO. (G3. 90.
Fat COWS and bulls are selling better
than at any time recently and show a gain
nearly to that noted of shipping cattle.
Supplies are fairly liberal, but the demand
is active and statesmen seldom
have to carry anything over
into the afternoon. That this
stuff should advance at this season
when the market is SO heavily supplied
with poultry and game is rather remarka-
bic. Such stock as only a short time ago
was in despair1 at So. 0OC@2.25 is now in
dseaaad at s.. 35@2.75. Receipts of
Texans are farsef han ever before 50 late
iii the season, but are very meager in
comparison with the big totals rolled up a
few weeks back.
For stockers and feeders the demand is
not very brisk, but is about equal to the
supplies, and the market is firm. The
weather has been against showing cattle,
and those offered present a pinched APP
pearance.
