LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1s.-lSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. l-CArTLE-The demand was about
equal TO the supply and prices rather on the
upturn than otherwise, especially on light,
fully finished fat and stylish and handy
steers. The demand seems to be- about over
for big Christmas steers, and exporters
seem satisfied with u lower grade of stock
than they heretofore bought. The steady
decrease IN the run so far this week had
more to do with keeping prices steady than
anything like an Improvement IN the de-
maud, as there was no increase In that di-
~rection, in fact, from now on until after the
first week in January there is liable to be a
limited demand for beef. Game and poultry
will command the attention of the con-
sumer for q week or two. There are only
tweuty-one loads Of Texans on the market,
all Of which sold at steady prices. Native
butchers stock was steady to a
shade stronger. Stockers = aud feed

Cattle.

Wednesday, Dec, lS.
The general trade in cattle was slow and
dull, still quite a good many head changed
hands before the close. The dressed beef
operators were indifferent and apparently
careless whether they bought much or little.
If a bunch of cattle was desirable and hap.
pened to strike their fancy they would take
them at steady prices. When 1t came to the
half fat and rough cattle it was hard work to
get even a bid. TIL buyers did not appear
to want them at all, and when they would
make a bid II was only to offer lower prices.
Some contracted cattle were weighed up at
st.l5, but the bulk of the beeves sold at $500
@3.55. There were more stockers and feed
ers here than for the past few days, es-
pecially light stockers, but the demand was
not especially heavy and the movement
slow. The sales Of native feeders were at
a.. 4002, 90, and the stockers at S2.05@2.25.
Some western feeders sold at S2.55. There
was a fair showing of cow stuff in the yards.
Anything,desirable sold quite readily at about
the old prices. Tho bulk of the cows
brought 81. S00p2. 20.

figures and there Is talk Of q return OF n
dividend on common stock. All influences,
however, resulted in but little animation.
The most active stocks early were st. Paul,
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Oregon
Short Lin and Sugar Refineries. First
prices generally were slightly lower than
last evenings closing figures and Jersey
Central was of per cent. The tone OF
early dealings was firm and these opening
declines were recovered, with something IN
addition. Missouri Pacific l. ose i per cent
and Oregon Short Line, which opened up Il
per cent ut jSl$, rose TO 90. Sugar Reiner-
les were again weak and declined
from 50 TO 81, selling ex-dividends
of 2lS per cent, with cash sales Of GO96l.
This decline seemed TO have some influence
upon stocks Of the regular list, and though
theie was n rally in Sugar, the
list afterward slowly sagged off and prices
again were brought down below the level of
the opening figures. Before noon Sugar
trusts went of to s., with n rally to So. Chi.
cago Gas dropped to AZ. Reading touched
80 and Lackawanna lost nearly a point to
1875. In western stocks ST. Paul went of
TO 69A, Missouri Pacific TO 6o4 and Union
Pacific to 90. Tue market was heavy at the
bottom prices at midday. The stock market
was even more depressed after II o'clock.
Oregon Short Line dropped back to So. New
England went down to 43H, but closed AT
1875. Atchison dropped to 33l(, closing at
$685.. Nearly all western railroads stocks
touched lower prices. Coal stocks continued
the weakest, Lackawanna selling at 1868,
closing NJ 1863, and Reading went to 1884
and recovered to 50. Chicago Gas closed at
421l and Sugar at 51l4. Money was loaned
at $ per cent. The total sales Of stocks were

The general trade in hogs was a shade to
SC higher, and the market was active at the
advance. The buyers evidently aimed at
paying steady prices this morning, and tho
early bids were largely at s3,45, a price that
bought half of all the hogs here yesterday.
money for their holdings and they brought
the buyers TO their terms. Very soon after
the market opened S3.47k and $3.50 were the
popular bids, and at these prices the hogs
changed hands rapidly. The demand for
hogs is very good, the buyers apparently
wanting a good many to fill orders and there
Is no danger of too many arriving. Even
with today's run the deman was such as to
improve prices, and the offerings were picked
