active and weak, with actual business at
Sd. So for siXty-day bills, and 81. S7l2 for de-
mand. The stock market was very quiet to-
day, and the trusts retired still further from
the commanding position they SO lately oc-
cupied i'll the dealings, while in railroad
stocks there was nothing doing outside of the
grangers, Lake Shore, New England and
Reading. The market opened very tame but
there was an improved feeling in the
room and first prices were again
generally from 1s to W per cent higher than
last nights closing figures, with Lake Shore
leading in the advance. There was great
dissemination to operate. however, pending
further developments in the railroad situa-
ton, and even the traders we're doing little
in the market. The brokers for the larger
bears however, continued to sell freely. and
the result was weak and declining market
from the opening, though the movements
lacked vim, and, except in one or two stocks,
fluctuations during the session. There was
some speculation as the position of the Chi
cago party upon the market, but the general
opinion was that it had been lately
changed. st. Paul and Lake Shore oc-
cupied the most prominent position in
the market to-day, and in both the extreme
fiuctuation was per cent, but both recov-
cred slightly from the lowest price and
closed with fractional loss. Atchson, New
England and Reading were also prominent
for animation, but their movements were en-
tirely insignificant. Among the trusts,
sugar opened up fracionally and afterward
advanced slightly, but later lost all of the i'm
provement and something in addition.
There was marked strength. however, in dis
tillers' trust and it rose to 1919. The rest of
the market was absolutely devoid of feature,
and the market finally closed dull and heavy
to weak at about the lowest prices of the SEES
SION There were no important changes ex-
cept the advance of 1l2 per cent in dis
tiller's trust. Railroad bonds were stagnant
to-day, and the sales of all issues aggregated
only 100000. with no animation of any
sort. The tone OF the dealings was rather
steady to firm. but the changes in quotations
were of the smallest fraction. Minneapolis
q st. Louis lists lost 5 to 50. Government
bonds have been dull and steady. Estate
bonds have been neglected. The total sales
of stocks to-day were 90. 300 shares, includ

follows: "The receipts OF hogs might be
considered heavy for this season OF the year.
and all grades of hogs have met with ready
sale at good prices to the packers and the
Twin City butchers. especially light hogs,
which are in the best demand and are selling
at premium. The run OF grassy cattle has
been liberal; in fact, we have been getting
too much of that class of stock, and the de
mand has not been equal to the
supply, and the shippers in most cases have
suffered a loss where they have sent thin
grass cattle to the market Good corn-fat-
tened cattle are nearly steady, and have de-
clined but very little during the week. The
supply of sheep has been liberal this week In
fact the yards were full nearly all the week;
but as one extreme generally ollows another,
we look for good steady sheep market this
