HOG MARKET STEADY
Big Supply of Wagon Hogs
Was the Feature.
TOP PRICE WAS S5.07 ~
Cattle in Small Supply, but
Market Steady.

The hog market was steady yesterday.
The Kansas City market was 8 cents
lower and naturally the market here
ought to have fallen in sympathy, but
the concensus Of opinion was consid-
ering the quality Of the stuff offered,
that the market here was about the
same as it was yesterday
The feature of the market was the
tremendous supply of wagon hogs. Il is
estimated that the supply from this
source was worth at least $500. Some
put it higher than even that.
The country roads were bad and not
many hogs were expected IN wagons, but
the farmers said they had nothing else
sbey could do and hence thought it
would be the proper thing to bring in a
few hogs.
There was a good demand for every
thing clean and fat yesterday and that
Is the reason hogs were comparatively
8 cents higher than they were in Kan
sas City. Everything sold readily. Both
shippers and commission men were in
good humor and made their deals In a
good-natured way.
The cattle market, while the supply
was small, was steady and the demand
good. There was considerable excitement
at the yards when over rs cars of cattle
were unloaded. It soon subsidized when
st was learned that the cattle, of which
there were several thousands, were en-
route from Miami, Texas, TO Billings,
Montana. They belonged TO Lake,
Toombs Lemon. and were destined
for the rich pastures of the Belle
Fourche valley. They viii be followed
soon by $500 more from Amarillo

GOOD REPORTS IGNORED

New York. May 1.-THE demand for
railroad stocks. which has given strength
TO the market for a number OF days
past, has been satisfied and prices fell
back today in that department OF the
stock list This is accepted in Wall
Street as confirmation OF the view that
demand came from an outstanding short
interest in the west and WAS not based
on any underlying condition in the COM
panies whose stocks were affected. or In
business at large. The market showed
itself as Indifferent today TO one or two
favorable factors which developed as 1t
was yesterday TO any depressing infiu-
ences. The outside public remains pro-
foundry Indifferent to the stock market.
ana commission house business has fall
len to practically nothing. St Paufs
statement Of earnings for the second
week in May, showing a small increase
over last year. was a distinctly favorable
factor, as it was calculated to offset the
apprehension caused by last weeks re-
turn Of a decrease for the first time
since midsummer OF 1885. Last weeks
decrease was looked upon In Wall Street
as a sort Of turning point in the railroad
situation and declining scale of earn
ingS was expected, especially as the
weeks reports of the movement of grain
and of the west-bound merchandise
movement have been discouraging. To-
days report, showing the largest earn
ings for St. Paul of any corresponding
week IN its history, was relief, but the
resulting strength in the stock was not
maintained. Rumors OF the same kind
as those which served the purpose of
the bulls yesterday continued to circu-
late. such as that Union Pacific or Penn
Sylvania was to secure control OF Bur-
lington. or Atchison preferred was to re-
ceive its full dividend, or new million
aire interests were to be represented IN
Missouri Pacific, but all of these stories
were heard with langIid interest. and
prices continued to droop. In the Indus
trial list, the losses In prices were not
such a passive matter. American To-
bacco was under severe pressure all day
on account Of circumstantial assertions
Of the organization of formidable COM
petition. The stock lost over six points.
closing at the lowest. Sugar suffered
from reports that the trade was TO as
sumo a more acute stage. Peoples Gas
continued under pressure by the profess
sional element amongst the traders. An
advance in the price OF copper was re-
sponsble for the sharp rise in Anaconda
and had some sentimental effect on the
STOCKS OF OIIer metal companies. me
stocks In that group were duh and the
movement very uncertain. the news con-
corning the iron trade continuing gener-
ally unfavorabie. Both the Bank OF
England and the Bank Of France made
strong weekly returns, and the money
conditions in London and Paris showed
relief accordingly. The probability of
further gold exports from here is thus
diminished. The local money market
continues very easy and X is evident
that the gold exports have been Offset
by gains from other sources. Closing
prices OF stocks today were as follows:
