CATrLE-There was a heavy run of cat
tie here this morning for a Friday, but
prices held up in good shape and trading
was quite active on most kinds.
A good, liberal proportion of the receipts
consisted of cornfed steers, as there were
right around 20 cars on sale. Packers,
though, took hold in good shape and the
market could be quoted stronger. The more
quality the cattle showed the easier they
were to dispose of, and in a good. many
cases the better grades sold a little higher.

The COW market was a little slow this
morning and no mole than steady. In some
cases statesmen thought they had TO take
off a little, The weakness was not confined
to the common kinds, but, on the contrary,
the market seemed to be a little uneven, so
that the better grades as we'll as the COM
moner stun occasionally had to sell a shade
lower. The market could probably best be
described by calling 1t slow and barely
steady.
Bulls held about steady II of good quality,
but otherwise they were weak. Veal calves
did not show much change.
There were comparatively few stockers
the market ruled fairly active and steady
to strong. The better grades showed the
strength and the common stun was slow
and STEADY.
There were not enough western beef
steers in sight this morning to make a
market. The few cars that did arrive were
of inferior quality and they sold in about
yesterdays notches. Range cows were slow
but right close to steady. Nand desirable
grades of stockers and feeders were active
and strong. Representative sales:

and prices had a downward tendency. There

somewhat bearish, there was nothing In
the way of news to influence values. what
little trading there was came from locals,

keeping back many orders from outsiders.
May opened a shade lower 70 1s414c higher

Corn was dull and easier, the clear, cold
weather being more favorable for the move

caused scattered selling by pit traders, was

City f. Isolated by Broken wires and
Business Consequently Suffers

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-The various re-
strictive influences which have brought
down the volume OF activity In the stock
market had an addition today In the stormy
weather. The attendance of the brokers
at the board was meager and the small
number of room traders had the market
much to themselves, as they were almost
isolated by the cutting off Of wire COM
munication with the outside world. As a
consequence the net result Of the days
trading was extremely small. The selling
by room traders during the early part OF
the day made some considerable inroads
upon prices, but in the absence of outside
response and not desiring to remain un-
covered over night, they rebought the
stocks sold early, causing a general re-
covery. So far as the action Of the market
was manifest, the excitement over the
condition OF money was still, evident.

cash reserves during the week. II will be
derstated in the bank statement by nearly
100000 by reason of the working of the

ment of currency has been in favor of the
interior again to the extent of nearly
100000, including the deposits at the sub
treasury for telegraphie transfer to the

item is likely to depend on syndicate oper-
atoms and on movements in the foreign eX-
change market. Tension in the money
market has apparently grown during the
week, but during the week call loan rates
showed a tendency to relax during the day.
This was partly due to the lightness of
the demand. The weeks exports of grain
show a rising tendency, promising some re-
lief from that source for the foreign ex-
change situation.
The bond market was dull and irregular.
Total sales, par value, 81, 715, 900.
United States bonds were all unchanged
