Omaha daily bee., 1900-12-21

CATTLE-About the same conditions gov
erned the market today as were reported
yesterday. The supply OF cattle was light
and the demand for the better kinds In
good shape, at least for a limited number.
Buyers all seemed to be looking for good,
fat cattle and as result the choice steers
sold early at little better prices. The
same as yesterday, some sales looked 5dlOc
higher. The common kinds, however, dld
not show much Improvement, though II was
n little easier to dispose of them than Is
generally the case when more cattle are on
sale.
Good cows were In active demand today
and the market was a little stronger. The
better grades of either cows or heifers may
safely be quoted n quarter higher than they
were a week ago and In some cases they
have sold better than that. Medium kinds
OF cows have also improved. though not
quite as much as the choicer grades Can
riers today, and particularly the commoner
kinds, did not sell any too well and, II
anything, they were not quite as high to-
day AZ they were yesterday.
There was not much change noticeabie
In the trade on bulls. calves ana stays.
Good heavyweight feeders that are ready
10 20 into the feed lot held just about
steady today. The less desirable grades
however, were rather slow. The light
stockers were also very slow. as the de-
mand for such kinds from the country Is
very light. If anything, the tendency Is
toward lower prices. Good stock COWS or
heifers and also stock bulls are just about
steady but common kinds are SLOW ana
weak Stock calves are also SLOW safe

SiiEEP-The sheep market today was
Just about steady at the decline OF yester-
day. Packers took hold in fairly good
shape ana bought up the few cars offered
IN good season Some choice lightweight
Mexican ycarlings brought S4.25, but the
top on lambs was A75 1t is safe to quote
the general run of either ewes or wethers
as l5@25c lower for the week. Choice light
weight yearlings. which are In good de-
mand. may not be over a dime lower
lambs have declined the most OF all and
may be quoted 25q50c lower for the week
All other points have gone off a CORE
spending amount, so this market is well
In line. There is very little demand for
mutton during the holidays and packers
do not care for supplies unless they can
get them at a low figure.
There were only a few feeders on sale
today and there was no particular change
In the situation noticeable.

The Commercial Advertisers London
financial cablcgram says: good volume
of business was transacted In the markets
here today, but the tone was weak, the
failure of tho Bank of England to advance
its minimum discount rate being counter
acted by the bank return, which showed
that Gl,OOo,Vo had gone into the interior
This suggested dcarer money, which was
the principal topic of conversation. Amer
leans were distinctly active, but the nuc-
tuations here in them were moderate. The
New York opening caused only a half
hours rally, the close here being at the
lowest, Prices rallied, however, in the
street Northern Pacifcs werc bought in
influential quarters on repetition of the
statement that the preferred stock Is to be
converted into bonds Illinois Central also
was bought, mainly for the reason, ap-
parently, that IL has been hitherto neg
lccted. The failure of the bank to change
the discount rate had favorable effect on
the exchanges and no gold was taken out,
although Paris is buying some in the opon
market, India Is rcsuming its silver pur-
chascs. The Banks of Bengal and Bombay
have reduced their discount rates from 6
TO I.
