THE LOCAL MARKET.
RECEIPTS CONTINUE GOOD AT THE
STOCK YARDS.

There Is considerable complaint
heard among the livestock commits
sion men doing business in Fort Worth
that at present there Is an uncommon
dullness in business. Little trading
IN cattle is being done. and the pur-
chases made are mostly confined to
those seeking feeder steers for Inc
second crop. 1t is hardly expected
that n genuine revival will be noticed
until after the convention in March
But Notwithstanding this condition
OF dullness complained OF several cattle
sales of considerable magnitude are
reported as having been made during
the past few days among which are
those given below:
u. b. Carver OF Henrietta has bought
of Tobe Woods of Victoria 1000 three
and four-year- old stesss, paying Tor
the former $l5.50 and for the latter
SIS. He also bought $500 OF the oCon-
nor cows In Refugio county. for which
he paid $3.50. This is The highest
price paid this year for COWS. II is
claimed. however, that the lot were eN-
ceptionally well bred and the superior
quality will more than repay the ptf-
chaser for the extra cost. MT car
Yer also recently bought rom III
ferent parties in Central Texas 1000
head OF cattle at from ~ to 39'Oo per
head.
W. i. Good & Sons OF Quanah have
bought of John Scharbauer OF TINS

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Sept. 1.-THE
American Manufacturer Will say TO-
morrow: The more favorable condl-
tons OF the iron and steel trade noted
last week stul continue. The I'M
proved feeling Is noticeable partcu-
larly In pig Iron. although II is hardly
sufficient to move prices. Our reports
this week show that this approach to
T. revival OF trade IS apparent at near
!y all points. In the eastern market
there Is more pig Iron being sold and
holders refuse TO do anything at pres
ent figures except for immediate deliv-
cry. In Chicago finished products
show nothing new, but there Is great
interest In pig iron. Southern makers
in that market have advanced their
prices. This action OF southern fur
naccmen Is noted at several points.
Cleveland reports the past week as the
brightest since the opening OF March.
At Cincinnati. the pig Iron market
shows much better tone.
In finished Iron and steel products
there Is nothing new. Sales are slow
and prices are hard 10 sustain. The
most activity Is shown In structural
material. The bessemer steel market
Is very quiet. In some OF the finished
lines there are hardly sales enough TO
fix prizes. .r-0r"
