British public at least did not anticipate
any very serious trouble. AS the war
talk has been the principal prop of the
market. this had n depressing effect and
there was liberal liquidation and short

receipts were also generous. and particu-
larry the Northwestern general deliveries
which are more than double what they

too, of liberal receipts. on the realizing

ket went off = from last nights close
but there was good demand for cash
wheat from country millers and tor ex-
port, which caused some reaction. The
market was also strens Lh.ned some by a
London dispatch, which said that 1t was
estimated there that the recent bad
weather In Argentine had reduced the eX-
port surplus from that country fully
$4,000 bushels, and that no more would
be shipped this year than last. The mar
ket was strengthened some during the
last hour by some sensational war news,
which started local shorts to covering

covered so freely during the past few
days there was not much demand from
that interest and with some indications
of larger interior deliveries there was

CHICAGO.

Chicago. January l0,-ln cattle trade
was as slow us yesterday. Common TO
best beeyes were taken at an extreme
range of 3.2hd500. with sales largely at
3.s51 400 Prices were largely 10 lower.
AS dressed beef concerns were taking
most OF the cattle that could he used aSs
rood feeders, not many cattle were bought
to ship back to the country. and the best
feeders were advanced to $50. Cows and
bulls also shared In the advance and there
was AN active demand, COWS and heifers
selling largely at 2lNft3.25 Calves ar
rived more freely. but good to choice lots
are firm at b7ouG.75 per 100 pounds Texas
cattle are brisk at 3.lDn4.jo.
lIogs-The advance WAS checked today
and prices broke sc, being lower than on
preViods days of the week; sales ranged
at 3.iSli3.&, common 10 prime grades,
sales largely ut 3l5Q3,D. Buyers contlu-
ued TO discriminate against big $50 and
i5U pound hogs, but all desirable lots
found quick sales. and packers We're of
the opinion that hogs purchased below
400 would bring in fair profits In the long
run
Shcop-Despite the liberal receipts this
week, the excellent demand for sheep and
lambs from locnl dressed meat concerns
caused further rise OF l5M26c. Native
sheep sold freely at 2.0on275 for poor to
fair up to 35103I5 for good to extra.
