NEW YORK, June H-The bear operators
among the professional traders became
somewhat discouraged over the events OF
today's short session and engaged in some
thing like a scramble to cover outstanding
short contracts in the closing dealings. An
unfavorable bank statement had been
counted on by this element to further de-
be called a favorable one, was not as weak
as had been foretold and when the bears
started to cover shorts after It's, publication
found that II had brought slight offerings
to sell. Prices were marked up quite sud

CATTLE-Receipts were small today, it
being the last of the week, but the mar
ket was in good shape and the most of the
cattle sod early and at steady prices. The
market was devoid of new features and the
above statement really tells the whole
story.
The fat cattle market the last week has
been in fair shape. On Monday the mar
ket was generally quoted 10c lower, but
1t gradually picked up a little later in the
week and Friday was not far from lOc
higher SO that for the week the market
was l0c higher on the general run of good
quality beef cattle. There was a good deal
of sameness to the market, as the trade
opened rather slow on most days. but closed
active, with everything sold. The local de-
mand keeps up well and Is fully equal to
or in excess of the receipts.
COWS and heifers were active sellers all
the week and at prices that did not show
any quotable change from day to day. The
demand for that kind of cattle is of liberal
proportions ut this point, while the arrivals
on mos: days have been small. Bulls,
stagS, etc, have also sold at just about
steady prices all the week with the demand
fair
The weeks business in stockers and feed
ers las been small and as a rule operators
on the market do not look for very much
demand for that kind of cattle before the
middle of next month. The few head re-
ceived during the week have changed hands
and there has been no material alteration
in prices. trough as a matter of course the
market is considerably lower than it was at
the high time two or three weeks ago.

TO which way prices would finally turn for

stocks of the big Industrial combinations
ana more especially the newly hoated is
old established dividend records have also
been acute sufferers. The policy OF the
bears has been TO. pick out first one and
then another of the industrials for on
slaught and by a demonstration of extreme
weakness in an individual stock to try to
bring a general supply OF stocks to market.
1t is a commentary upon the public feel
ing toward new industrial hotations that
the most vulnerable point of attack has
been in the steel stocks In spite Of the
fact that enormous profits are being real
tied in the production and manufacture Of
all grades of this material. The week in
Wall street has been filled with the most
contradictory rumors and assertions regard
ing coming dividend declarations or some
of the steel stocks and with the most pro-
found depth Of unenlghtcnment on the part
of holders of shares regarding the ability
or Inability of the companies to pay divi-
dends. This discrimination of banks and
moneylenders against the industrials as
collateral has been renewed and there is
