CATTLE

The cattle market was fairly quotable
a. steady with a light run of stock in
and the quality just fair. Most of the
trade was confined to local and driven
in business, and the bulk of the offerings
vas she stuff, cows and heifers. The
demand was good, and all the regular
cattle buyers were on hand for stock
cattle and butcher stuff, the latter being
very light in evidence. All stuff in this
branch was readily taken, and the de-
mand was greater than the supply for
such stuff as is most wanted on this mar
ket. The Dold Packing company are in
the market at all times for killing stuff
and ready to pay the best market price
anywhere for good, desirable butcher
stock. Many regultr shippers to this mar
ket are realizing the advantageous plan
of enclosing in their weekly shipments of
hogs a few head of prime fat cattle. This
never fails to inure to the profit of the
shipper, as the cattle are always taken
by the bold company at the very best
market prices. and very often this helps
IN a great measure to bear a profit in the
consignment.

STOCK VALUES SHRINK
Hardening of Money Rates Leave
the Mark eft Omen to the SsezrS


New York. Sept. l0.-Prices Of stocks
have continued to sink under the nfiu-
ence OF sitter money rates due to the
shrinkage of the surplus reserves of New
York banks Call loans have been mark
ed up in many cases TO 4 per cent and
many borrowers have preferred to pay off
their loans. This has caused heavy liqui
dalton Of speculative holdings Of stocks.
The hardening Of money left the stock
market sensitive to reactionary influences
and the tendency Of sentiment was all to
the bearside well organized raid
against Sugar on Wednesday induced
sharp declines and the limitation of the
st. Paul dividend to only 211 per cent COM
pletelly broke the market on Thursday.
Apparently there were extraordinarily
large commitments in St. Paul, buth rere
and in London, on the confident assump-
ton that the dividend would be or even
315 Bull leaders relied on such a rate
to give a fill-up to the whole market and
arrest the decline. The action of the d.
rectors, although considered ultra-con-
sentative in view of the roads favorable
showing for the year, with surplus of
over per cent earned on the stock after
large outlay for beterments, led to the
entire abandonment Of the bull campaign
and all support to prices was Withdrawn
and general liquidation of profits ensued.
Good buying seemed to ensue at the
lower level of prices, but the condition of
the money market seemed to preclude any
fresh speculative commitments on a large
scale.

HOG MARKET STEADY
Fairly Good Saturday Receipts
and Quality Common.
TOPS STILL AT $3.50
Cattle Steady, Light Receipts
and Quality Fair.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
fairly steady, with Fridays average
prices, with a fair supply for Saturday
and bidding strong. The local demand
was good all day, and there was a very
marked evidence OF a keen desire TO Sc
cure the various grades of hogs most
ealable on this market. The local pack
ing interest was especially eager for good
fat butcher hogs, and readily bought all
on sale at stiff. firm prices. the top for
the past three days being paid for all
that could at all pass muster. Three Of
the five cars received this toppy price
and theye were only ordinary hogs. in
the main, more runty and common stock
running in with the better grades which
materially lowered the tone of the loads.
1t was a very fair Saturday on the whole,
The receipts being considerable above
those of Friday, but under those OF last
Saturday, which was an unusually heavy
day for the closing day of the week The
quality yesterday was nothing interesting
especially, or at least would not have
been so considered had there been larg-
er supply yarded from which to- select
Such as came in were promptly looked

conditions. The early reports from Kan
sas City indicated a lower market, but
evidently more from the very inferior
grade of hogs being at that time re-
ceived 1t was limited to some of the
commissioner firms here that a better
line of hogs would receive q higher price.
This condition was equally patent at this
point. AS it was, the markets at both
points, and elsewhere except Chicago,
ruled steady. 1t was at least steady
here, the best prices warrantable being
paid for the ordinary and Indifferent quail
ity of hogs offered. The tops were the
same as for the two previous days, and
this was the best since Monday. The
wagon trade was light and the car stuff
which did come, mostly arrived late in
the day. All was readily disposed of and
the pens were empty at night, even the
stays and cut-outs being sold and gener-
ally at very fair prices. The week has
been good, both in point of receipts, av-
erage quality, and live, active trading
The very nominal amount forwarded has
invariably been light, thin hogs of mixed
and skippy stock, the fat hogs and
plump, well fed stuff, heavy or medium,

ular shippers declare that In spite Of
heavy shipments all this season there are
still fat hogs in the country and a good
crop of stock hogs

New York, Sept. 10.-The F1nancier says:
.s,rha summing rese1vas of the New York

New York, Sept 10-The F1nancier says:
1.-THE surplus reserves of the New York
Associated banks are now lower than at
any time since the panic of 1893. Two years
ago this month the surplus depressed to
something like $500, 900, but call money
then was at prohibitive figures, and i'm
ports of gold followed Immediately. Now,
confronted by an interior demand which
has averaged in past seasons over thirty
millions, with the treasury absorbing adj
ditionaI millions each week on bond pay
ments, and with business expanding in
every direction, money is loaning at per
cent, although the fact Of the matter is
that the banks have little, if any, money
to loan. The excess reserve of the New
York banks is in the hands of a few in
situations.
The majority of the banks are loaned
to and beyond the required limit. The
statement for the current week is about
what was anticipated. The treasury took
Sl4000,00o from the banks on bond ac-
count, and the loss to the interior was
between one and two millions. The clear
ing house report makes the loss of cash
about 100000. The decrease in de-
posts reached the unusually large sum of
$50 4S7, 700, which was due to the cash con-
traction noted, and the feeling off of S.
77S 700 in loans. 1t is to be noted that had
the banks not called in outstanding loans,
the surplus reserve would have practi-
cally disappeared. The present financial
situation is anomalous. The country new
or had so much money, but IT is so dis
tributed that it is unavailable for use
and it is needed now more than ever.
The treasury, 1t is true. by anticipating
interest and maturity on bonds, is ex-
hausting every resourse to restore to CIR
culation its idle funds. but the effects
of this policy are not yet apparent. As the
circumstances which have brought about
an unprecedented condition are apt to con-
tinue for some time, additional gold i'm
ports are certain. The banks up 10 this
time have discouraged the idea Of strin-
gency in money. but unless some relief
is speedily obtained it IS difficult 20 see
how present rates can long prevail. The
promised increase in bank circulation IS
slow in materializing and will probably
come. as has been the case in past years.
after the real demand has passed. AS
matters stand todayd a continued contrec-
ton in loans, with resultant higher quo
tations, seems inevitable.
