other classes. The export demand was onl v
moderate, yet there were more fair to good
natives among the arrivals than on any day
last week. but exporters did not seem TO
want as many as usual. Dressed beef Old.
orators held off during the early morning, as
first estimates placed the receipts at II, 90 !.
but later on IL was clear that there would be

look stock over and make bids, finally get
thug down to about yesterdays prices when
the stock just suited, aud, il net suitable.

was in, and they ~sympathized with the rest
OF the market BY midday the market was
fairly opened with some trading at prices,
on everything except the best steers, from a
shade TO l0c lower. The best steers, against
the opinion OF nearly all IN favor of lower
prices and the apparent determination OF
buyers to lower prices. seemed to hold their
own and cannot be quoted even a shade
lower. They opened slow and weak, but all
sales were made at about steady prices. The
commoner grades of butchers stuffs
were slow and a shade lower at
the opening and during the day sales were
reported even more than a shade lower.
Some quote the market on all butchers
steers B 10 l0c off. Cow stuff was not very
abundant and the market on that kind Of
cattle did not show much change. Some who
had cattle that were on the commonish order
thought they could not get yesterdays
prices. There were moro parties here look
ing for stockers ana feeders than for some
time back, and quite a number of cattle
changed hands. One bunch Of grade Here
fords sold for feeders at s3.4D. Towards the
close the market became active at the de-
cline OF the day, aud before the close all was
sold.

CHICAGO, Feb, 5.-ISpecial Telegram To
The BEE. The shadow OF the black frost
which was sweeping down on the winter
wheat plant, and which reached the Chicago
board of trade yesterday, did not develop
into u more palpable substance today. II
!! REMAINS but a possibility, but had a restrain.
ing effect upon the bears just the same.
Something moro substantial Is found in the
evident bordering of present prices upon
limits which would reach export orders fog
heavy quantities. There were many ru-
mors Of considerable business quietly taking
place now, which may not, however, immedi.
ately appear in the export clearanccs. as
vessels for immediate shipment cannot be
had. A good deal of capital is being
made by the bears out Of the
slow manner in which the visible supply
diminishes, but on looking over the figures
and comparing them with those for the cor
responding time of 1889, ii Is found that since
the maximum was reached the decrease 80
far has only fallen behind that of a year

and then came a variety of rumor which
were OF a more or less Dullish character,

dehnite to prevent any marked enthusiasm.
consequently, although prices hardened and
May wheat advanced to 794c aud did not
again get below roc, the pace was slow and
the buying without vim or spirit. 1t was
noticeable, however, that on the advance
there was no heavy unloading and appear
ances favor the assumption that recent pur-
chases around 7Skc are held for more than
lie advance. The general feature Of the
market after the first hour was one OF
logged firmness, and May closing at 79kc,
the extreme price of the day, is evidence OF
that characteristic having held good to the
end.
