South ST. Paul, Jan. II.
CATTLE-Our cattle market las been
quite this week. This has been owing to
two reasons, the a5sence Of heavy :,uy-
ers for stock and feeding cattle and the
light receipts of all kinds. Packers have
been active. and all kinds of killing cat
tie have sold readily at fully steady
prices. 1t is a different story in the
stock and feeding division. Steer stuff
of all kinds has been slow sale all week
and prices are now, and have been fer
several days, rs cents lower than la
week. 1t takes good to choice stockers
and feeders to bring So 2513. so. Heffcr
stuff has suffered a little, although not
so much. AS a rule prices have been
pretty close 10 last week The stock Gi-
vision has been kept cleared only by the
hardest kind Of work on the part of sales
men Stock and feeding bulls are slow
sale at prices 10 to Is cents lower The
common cattle of all kinds are dragging
badly. Mich COWS are almost unstable,
and this applies to the good as well as
the common. We have had very little
market for them this week. Some choice
cows have sold as low as &3O@32, with

WALL STREET GOSSIP-Strong, Stur-
gIs & Co. wire Holbert & Son: cit is
likely that the market will show quick
fluctuations now for some time, and re-
solve itself very much into traders
market more to local conditions that it
has been CT late. The question Of the so
called st. Paul deal Is in allegiance, and
while it Is believed by many that the
fected by an equally strong following, it
Is supposed but little more at the present
time Will be contaminated than a close
traffic agreement. Union Pacific has al
vanccd again on excellent buying, with a
renewal of the story that a combination
with the Western road to give the
Nander5ilts through line to the Pacific
had frmness in Missouri Pacific and
The short interest in that stock does n5t
yet seem entirely eliminated. Among the
industr!als we have had continued weak
ness OF the Steel shares, due to the pro-
posed Carnegie Improvement. Tin Plate
and National Tube being particularly the
sufferers. On the other hand. Smell er
common has risen some 8 points. the
expectation being that the dividend will
be made early in February, payable
about the 1st of March at the rate Of s
per cent per annum-'

London financial cablegram says: The
markets here were idle today. partly
because Of the settlement which in the
Deg WAS heavy peCduS0 COuCdF5OSS
in the mining department were SO stiff.
But this was not so much because of
the money rates. but because of the
West Australian disaster. American
shares were torpid. They opened well
under parity and there was a definite
disposition to sell here, but there was a
sharp rally after the New York opening.
New York sent ever buying orders in the
Union Pacific and the Norfolk 6, West
ems After this, this department sagged,
rallied again and was quite strong. The
Americans over, and the latest news
from Hill is taken as evidence that the
Morgan people are out. Money was lit
