that the banks have lest during the week
bv shipments to the interior and by sub
treasury operations over 100000. With
out taking account Of the reduction of
deposit liabilities by reason Of the week s
loan contra elton, this would indicate
fall in bank reserves to a level about

the loan contraction must have proceed

during the latter part of the week, in
dicatcs pretty clearly that the banks are
within their legal reserve limit. Whether
this is due to the fact that there has
been a supply of cash from hidden source :
and not reflect ed in the known movement

CATTLE-There has been liberal run
of cattle this week and the market has
been steady on all classes Of good cat
tie. The fair to poor steers have sold
lower and trade has been very dull on
this class of stuff. The demand Is for
light calves ano yearliags ana feshy,
heavy feeders. The medium weight cat
tie are selling low in comparison with
the others. Heavy range feeders sold as
high as $3.50 this week, with the bulk at
$4.25 to S4.65. We could handle many
more cattle than we are getting, both
heavy feeders and fat stuff. Most of the
fat range steers are selling at $4.25 to
$4S5, with the choice ones at $4.75 to &c.
Rough, feshy steers, $3.50 to 81. The
bulk of the choice fat cows and heifers
are selling at 1915 to 81. Fair to good,
1925 to $375; medium, $2.75 to 1925; can
ners, s1.5O to 1925. Our yards are well
cleared today of all but the fair, medium
weight stockers, which are dragging at
10 to 20 cents lower prices than last week
There is strong demand for heifers of
all weights, providing the quality is good.
Heifer calves are selling at 1925 to 81; heavy
heifers S2S5 to $3.50; bulk, 1928 to $780,
stock bulls, $3.50 to $3.15, and selling fully

springers are selling a little better and
there is a good demand for the best.
Fair to good cows bring s25 to s35; choice,
$35 to s45. The demand for light steer
calves continues good We sold some as
high as s5.25, but the Jerseys and Hol-
stems are selling as low as s2.75. The
range in prices is very wide, and ship
pers should be careful in selecting their
stock. There has been "a very large per-
centage of common cattle in the yards
this week that have beet5selling at prices
unsatisfactory to shippers. On the other
hand, shippers with goodT cattle sold out
readily and returned home satisfied.
HOGS-Receipts have been light here
for the past two days. The market has
held steady to shade higher. Today (Fri-
day. the bulk of the mixed hogs sold
at s4.25 to $4.35 Good, light hogs are in
splendid demand and are selling at $4.45
to $780, with occasional punches of par
ticularly choice ones at $4.65.
SHEEP-Sheep and lambs have dropped
q to So cents from the high prices paid the
first of the week. We quote good butch

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-There was pres
sure to sell Brooklyn Rapid Transit and
St. Paul from the outset today. Brook
Ign Transit occupied the center of the
stage all day The dealings in this stock
were on an enormous scale, and the
amount thrown overheard on the decline
made the fact of inside liquidation OBJ
Vious. The bears, of course, were also
very active III this stock, and the occa-
sional covering by this element afforded
the only effective checks to downward
plunges of the stocks. There seem to be
no support afforded it at all until it
reached so. From that stage there were
occasional checks and rallies before 1t
touched the extreme low point at $685.
After a final rally TO IS, it closed again
under pressure at a net loss of Ga. The
other members CT the Flower group did
not develop any keen sympathy until late
in the day, when Peoples Gas, Federal
Steel anG Rock Island were down from
"a to points. These stocks rallied
somewhat before the close Holders of
ST. Paul, disappointed over yesterdays
dividend action, broke the price at the
opening There was a subsequent recov-
cry of practically all the loss and the
whole railroad list moved up nearly to
last nights level ir Il manner to sug-
gest Inauguration Of al influential buying
movement. The appearance of strength

dealers which rose from l to 3R
The upward movement came to an alb
rupt end before noon, when Brooklyn
Transit, Sugar Peoples Gas and the
Western railroad shares generally, led by
ST Paul, fell away by rapid stages. St.
Paul dropped to 1895 and ruled below $50
for the rest of the day. Except in a few
isolated cases there was no subsequent
demonstration of strength: The closing
was feverish and irregular at net losses
throughout, extending to over a point in
the grangers and some other railroads
