Meyer & Kiser's Telegram
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The dizziness Of
the last few days was broken this morning
by a somewhat more lively speculation,
with advancing prices, but both the ac-
tivity and the advances were limited. Trad
ing remained professional and without in
fluence from London. as that stock ex-
change was closed for the day. The in
centives to better tone were the easier
money conditions here as well as the lower
rate of foreign exchange. precluding early
gold shipments. The final settlement of
the coal strike was instrumental in steady
ing the coal stocks. which were rather
strong on apparently quiet buying during
the last day or two.
Colorado Fuel played a prominent part in
the market, due, 1T is said, to a renewal
Of the fight for control, with an advance
of about points from the low level of the
week. The coming election, as well as the
desire on the part of the banking interests
to keep speculation in check were the
causes of the dullness that prevailed. and
these factors are likely to exert their in
fiuence for some time still. 1t Is, how
ever, likely that next week will witness a
stronger and somewhat higher market
should the forecast as to the result of the
elections be favorable.

Markets Elsewhere.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct.
25.-Cattle-Receipts, ESQ; shipments, $50. The
marketing Of cattle this week has been fairly
liberal, showing an increase Of 400 over last
week. but a decrease Of over LOO compared
with the same week year ago and an increase
of nearly 100 over the corresponding week two
years ago. Thus far this year the receipts are
5000 larger than the same period last year. The
market this week has been distinctly buyers
market. The receipts at all times were fully
equal to or in excess of the demand. and it was
rarely that sellers could dictate prices for any
grade. 1t has been long time since there
as little interest manifested in the market, and,
in a WORD, the trade throughout the week has
been very tresome and unsatisfactory to the
selling side. Prices in nearly all lines have
been reduced, and the market was made more
sluggish because in so many instances the cattle
were having To sell at loss TO the owner. To
add TO the hardship OF statesmen values were also
irregular. and many times IL was impossible to
sell equal kinds at the same prices in the same
day. AS many dealers expressed it. nobody
inows how the market is" In the steer depart
ment 1t is safe to say that all fat cattle that
heretofore have been selling from s. to 81 sold
on an average OF about soc lower for the week.
A class that have been selling from 81 to $3.50
did not show much change. and the good strong
neshy feeders remained about steady but COM
mon stockers. while generally believed to be
lower. had fixed value. and estimate of
the market Is out or the question. 1t will be
membered that week ago yesterday there was
a very strong market for good female butcher
cattle, and prices this week have been lower
than at that time, but there great
deal OF change from early in the week values.
There was some complaint among buyers of the
scarcity of thick-fat COWS, and they believe that
many times they were forced 10 pay premium
for that class. The market for Gamers at the
close OF the week was fully 25c lower than
earlier There a very respectable market
for bulls until the close OF the week. when
buyers took oil nearly 25c. The calf market has
been strong all week. but at the extreme close
there were sales high earlier in the
week. The highest prices paid this week were
$3.50 for steers, - for heifers, $40 for cows,
G-25 for bulls and IS for calves. The receipts
day were very fair for Saturday market and
consisted OF cattle of just fair to medium quail
ity. The demand, usual, Saturday was
not important, but sales were not perceptiby
lower than yesterday. The outlook is uncertain,
and IL Is advisable for shippers to be very
careful in buying cattle in the country. Quota
