The Weekly Cattle Market.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
CHICAGO, Sept. Tn spite of a fall
ing off in cattle receipts this week bust
ness is generally slow and prices for ma
tives tend downward. The proportion of
good TO fancy steers offered is small and
holders of such have tried hard to force
an advance, but the recent decline in
American beef and cattle in British mar.
kets has caused exporters to withdraw for
the time being. Texans and Western
rangers, however. are bid for right along
and are about l5c higher than a week
ago Several lots of Westerns have sold
at S4-the top price for a long time. A
few lots of choice Texans fetch 81 .6O(9
$40, but the bulk 20 at prices under
S2.35. Gamers pay 81. 90(92. 20, dress
ed beef men 81 20(92 40 and shippers
take a few loads of the best at 81. 40(6
800. These prices are only a point or
two above the lowest figures at the season
for steer cattle.
Cows sell chiefly at 81. 6O@I. rs and 1t
takes a smooth, fat animal to make 81 90.
1t is thought by some that the poor mar
ket has discouraged shipments and that
light receipts will cause some improve
ments next week. Other experienced
dealers argue that the fact that the re-
latively high price of good to choice
beeves has failed to swell supplies of that
grade proves that there are comparatively
few ripe cattle in the country. These
same men believe that the flood of com
mon steers which mas been pouring in at
a rate hitherto unknown is likely to CON
tinue until the last of next month and
that no advance need be expected until
alter that time. A great many natives
weighing all the way from LOO to 1900
pounds sell at 81 50(G325. This kind
of stock should certainly be kept at home
aud fed cheap corn. Many of the West
erns marketed FOR beef, too, have been
found so thin that they had to be sold for
feeders, being largely absorbed by distillery
men.
Some l,1O5 pound Wyoming Texans
sold as low as 81. 30 Wednesday. Mon
tana natives averaging 1850 to 1850
pounds sell at 81. 65(G3 80. Several
prominent brokers are predicting that
receipts of Western rangers this season
will be 20 to % per cent less than for
last season. Dressed beef men make the
bulk of their purchases at SO. 1904 10.
while shippers and exporters generally
nay ! .9O(04 35. American beef as noted
above is selling in British markets for
the lowest prices in a year and trade is
dull.
Slaughterers here are well supplied and
more than the usual numbar of cattle are
or the cars en- route to Eastern markets.
Now everything depends on how receipts
show up.
Native %butchering stuff is steady and
unchanged. Stockers and feeders quiet,
demand light and prices low.

New YORK, Sept. THE Sun this
afternoon publishes a letter from John l..
Sullivan in which he announces his in
tention of running for congress on the
Democratic ticket. 1t is his ambition to
represent the Boston district. He states
that with such high ambition he trusts he
will in the future make his life what it

his qualifications as he says in concluding
that he will have no t-ouble in getting a
hearing in congress or in making congress-

ing canvass for the position of postmas-
ter at Helena. He is given the support
y uoi. IT. i. r. 'HYershfieid Y M Came over from
New York today to work for the Montana
governorship.
O. W. Cannon and Col. Bird came up
from Fortress Monroe today to work in
the interest of E. B. Sharpe for postmas-
ter. Sharpe first wanted to be national
bank examiner; then collector of internal
revenue, and finally postmaster.
Montanians in Washington are consid-
erably surprised at the indication of ex-
citement in Helena over the contest for
the governorship. The Washington con
tingent from Montana does not seem to
partake of this feverish condition.
The heads of bureaus have not yet been
appointed to any considerable extent and
only these matters which seem to be
of immediate pressing importance have
been attended to by the president up te
this time.
With reference to the governorship Of
Montana, Delegate Carter was seen at his
rooms in the Riggs house tonight, anG
said: "No application has been sent te
the president as far as l am informed fol
the appointment of governor of our ter
ritory. In Dakota the democratic COVER
nor and the republican Legislature stanc
in an apparent deadlock, and in view o.
that contingency, the president has beer
giving special attention to that case. In
due course of events Montana will be
reached, and have no doubt good ap
