reconstruction Of long insolvenr corporations

who take little note of speculative currents

different standpoint. They understand the
genius OF our people. they comprehend our

politics. they know how to strike a balance
between what is permanently sound and
trustworthy in our politics and what is the
transient product of popular Ignorance and
fanaticism; they understand exactly how far

change of estimate on American invest

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The total receipts of
cattle for this week were slightly in excess
of Al, 900, as against 37,473 last week and 49,
1853 a year ago. The demand was light and
values without noteworthy change. Dressed
beef and shipping steers were quoted from
$40 to $3.50, and COWS and bulls from $1.45
to $3.S5.
Yesterdays advance in hogs was all
wiped out very soon after the opening of
trade this morning, and later in the fore
noon it was difficult to find buyers who
were willing to pay within 15Q2oc of that
days prices. The close was very bad, and
a good many hogs were left in sellers
hands. AT the close S4.45 was regarded as
about the top of the market. Sales We're
slow and the bulk of them below $40.
The sudden reaction in the market was
due to the prospect Of largely increased
arrivals for next week, the recent advance
being depended upon TO stimulate buying
among country shippers.
Sheep receipts were large for the LAST day
of the week. There was an active and firm
market at Fridays advance, or at s.. 75u4.4 10
