Wool Market.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-There was a good at
tendance at today's session of the wool
auction sales. The offerings numbered r.
600 bales, principally secured merinos. York
shire was the best buyer. with the con,
tinent a liberal purchaser. Russia secured
suitable parcels Of merino. A lot of
Geelong and Tasmanian focks were taken
principally by the home trade. Crossbreds
were in much smaller supply than usual.
The high though coarse slipes were irregu-
lar. Fine greasies showed a hardening ten
dency and good secured were dear. Amert-
can representatives were eager bidders for
good scoureds and took a fair quantity
at full prices. Sixty thousand bales were
sold during the week. Next weeks offer
ings will amount to 76, 800 bales. Following
are the sales in detail: New South Wales,

CATTLE-There were a few cars of cattle
here, but none to make y market and there
was practically nothing koing in the yards.
1t was a typical Saturday in the yards
The cattle market this week was by no
means in bad shape considering the large
run, and, as a rule, sellers feel pretty wei
satisfied with the way things have gone
Beef cattle sold a good deal lower at other
market points, but were well maintained at
this point owing to the fact that desirable
kinds were not very plentiful until toward
the latter part of the week, when even the
light receipts could no longer hold up
values. The week closed with cornfed cattle
10915c lower on the good kinds and l5q20c
lower on the common to medium kinds;
Not enough grass b,ef cattle were received
of the market, but the feeling is that with
q good, liberal run Of that kind of cattle
the market would be almost certain, to go
off 1542Oc. This expectation Is founded on
the fact that grass beef cattle are selling
higher here than in Chicago. =.
The COW market eased off toward the last
of the week and closed a little lower, so
that cows, in the opinion of some, are about
the cheapest cattle on the list. 1t takes
right good grass COWS to bring $3.50, though
Vt would be possible to get heifers good
enough to bring around S4.W.
StockerS and feeders were way lower early
in the week, but under the influence of the
large country demand the market gradually
Is safe to say that good, heavy cattle are
selling fully as high as any time this sea-
son and that the common and medium kinds
are no more than 10dl5c lower than at the
best time. Representative sales:

SHEEP-There were seven cars reported
in the yards today, but four OF them were
consigned direct to a packer and were not
offered for sale, while the balance was sold
to arrive. For that reason there was prac-
tically no sheep market and nothing doing
at the sheep barn.
During the early part of the week values
advanced l5p26c, but later on values fell on
again, SO that the week closed with Nalue
back again just about where they were a
week ago.
There was an active demand all the week
for stock sheep and feeders at good steady
prices, The only trouble appears to be that
there are not enough coming TO fill the re-
q~uiremonts of buyers.

HOGS-Although there was a good liberal
run of hogs at the yards for a Saturday
packers were complaining that there were
not enough to fill their orders, and conse-
quently there was an active market and an
early clearance. Receipts were made up
largely of medium weight hogs, with a fair
proportion of heavyweights and a sprink-
ling of light hogs,
With the exception of the first few sales
the general market was about a nickel
higher than yesterday, Favorable reports
were received from. other markets and as
packers all wanted hogs trading at the ad-
vance was brisk. Prices ranged largely
from $4.37h to $3.50, while yesterday the
range was from 1870 to 81, 47h. Heavyweights
sold mostly at AS7kQ4,4G with the poorer
grades going at $t.35. Mixed hogs brought
from $40 to $,45 and the choice light
weights from $i.45 to $3.50,
The hog market at this point has been In
god condition all the week, Receipts have
been the heaviest since the week ending
July 29, but In spite of that fact values are
considerably higher than at the close of last
week. The demand on the part of the pack
ers has been good, each days receipts
being taken up at an early hour. on Mon
day prices fell off a couple of cents, but
Tuesday a cent was put on and Wednesday
and Thursday 1t fell a cent lower than Mon
day. The loss was entirely made up on
Friday, however, when the high point of
the month was reached, and today's ad-
vance carries the market back to about
where 1t was the latter part of August.

Many Changes in Prices.

Hardware men are well pleased with
absolutely nothing to complain of. Business
ts still as active as could be desired and
prices going up at an astonishing rate.
price lists that it is difficult to keep track
Of them and useless to enumerate them.
Suffice 1t to say that the market Is firming
up all along the line, the same as 1t has
been doing for several months past, without
any prospect at the present time Of a limit
being reached. The volume of trade is so
large that local dealers are having some
difficulty in getting supplies fast enough,
but they are looking for. a still greater
shortage a little later in the season.
