THE BEE. -CATTI.E.-About 800 native and
$500 Texans came in to-day The market
opened with the statesmen asking 10c ad-
vance, and buyers bidding last Friday and
Saturdays prices. The eastern markets,
however, were all reported weak and dull,
and the trade in native steers finally ruled
fairly active and strong, but not quotab!y
higher. The native market was strong for
The best cows and heifers, but very slow and
weak Oil the canning trade. Most of the
Texans on sale were thin cattle, suitable
only for canning, and as there was but little
competition for such, sellers were unable to
exact any Improvement over last Fridays
prices. Business in the stocker and feeder
line was light, as is usual on Monday. Choice

In specialtIes. The action of the market at
the opening was In sharp contrast with the
close on Saturday. The list was weak, es-
pecially western stocks and after the open
ing at sharp declines, further declines fol-
lowed during the first hour. or the opening
declines, Missouri Pacific with q per cent,
and st. Paul, Northwestern, and Burlington
& Quincy with q per cent each, we're the
most conspicuous; and of extreme losses,
Rock Island at 96JS was tx per cent lower,
and st. Paul az IL, was down 13s per cent.
The downward movement met with o check
towards 10'30, and small fractional recover
les were generally made; but in few Cases
were the opening figures again reached, but,
later, weakness again prevailed, and ST.
Paul, especially, displayed lack of support
and reached still lower figures At II o'clock
the market was active ana weak, at about
the lowest prices reached. Grangers, with
New England, Lackawanna, Lake Shore,
and Northern Pacific, preferred, were active
shares, and there was again brisk business
done in the trusts The pressure of stocks
for sale, which marked the declines in the
stock market during the first hour was
lifted after II o'clock, and the market, except
for New England, Atchison, ST. Paul, Lead
trusts, and one or two others, became quite
dull but firmer tone soon appeared and
prices rallied. New England aud st. Paul
were the most conspicuous in the upward
movement and the former rose "A and the
latter Il per cent, but the changes in the rest
Of the list were for smaller fractions. The
lowest prices of the day in stocks were
those reached before noon. Later there was
moro limited business, especially in gran
ger stocks. During the last hour there was
pretty general rally in the prices of the
stocks which had suffered the most carly
The buying was largely by the room traders
and did not indicate any change of senti-
mcnt, or improvement in railroad conditions
in the west. The secret of the weakness
was the withdrawal of Alton from the asso-
citation, aud the rate cutting in the north
west caused much unfavorable comment.
On the whole, the trusts We're not much
chungen, Chicago Gas and Sugar trusts
closed steady, and Lead trusts q per cent
higher Jersey Central moved up 2 per cent
to li2l4; New England was active, and after
selling off to 1925, reacted Pa per cent, aud
closed 4 better for tho day; Reading gained
"a. Among The western stocks, Atchison
recovered the carly loss and closed steady;'
Burlington also reacted aud closed about
steady; Rock Island and ST. Paul lost Is
| per cent each, even after slight rally. The
other charges were not significant. The
total sales OF stock were 2AS, 931 shares.

A Nice Point.

The House OF Representatives, OF the Min
nesota Legislature turned down" on Tues
day last the act Of Congress requiring the
balloung for United States senators TO be.
gin on the second Tuesday after the meeting
and organization Of the Legislature. Under
this law the balloting for a United States
senator from that State ought to have com.
meneed on Tuesday. But there were good
many members who did not want Mr.. WASH
suExx elected until after q committee APP
pointed to investigate q charge Of bribery
had reported. either generating him from
the charge or afhrmlng Its truth. How was

Nevertheless, II remains to bs decided by
the United States Senate whether Within the
meaning Of the act Of Congress involved In
this ease the "Tuesdayr mentioned In the
law Is calendar day or legislative day.
