more widespread than Is said to be the case. and
tt may be observed, indeed. that the hardening
of the call loan market here is attributed mainly
to complications created by the Chicago troubles
At the close of the week. however. the rise OF
call loans to 6GrI per cent and the difficulty In
liquidation. The disturbance Mt Chicago, the

decidedly unsatisfactory, were all used by the
bear party with more or less effect upon prices
The ease, however. with whic. bear interests
have produced impression upon the share
list Is mainly due to the fact that the most
influential people in the street not giving
any apparent protection to their stock specula-
tion and that the public Is taking part what

CATTLE-After making allowance for
the cattle consigned direct to the packers
only about n thousand head of all kinds
were on sale. The market, as IL whole, was
fairly active and an early clearance was
effected
There were more and better corn-fed
steers than for several days past and the
offerings met with ready sale, at good
strong prices.
The supply of butchers stock consisted
of only few odds ana ends of stuff; ;
all told, not over two TO three loads They
brought good strong prices.
There were more feeders than anything
else in the yards. but none too many, as
the demand was fair and the yards were
soon cleared There were some stockcrs
that sold at prices that made the market
look higher but there have been no such
cattle here for some time. Steady to strong
