Wool Market.

BOSTON, Dec. 3O.-WOOL-The market
has been active Notwithstanding the holt
day season and the situation Is stronger
than noted last week. Some OF the largest
buyers have been buying freely. Apparently
the future strength of the market is a
settled fact. The situation grows stronger
from week to week, upon this point the
trade being a unit. Leading houses report
that as fast as they can get wool opened
Stocks are unusually small for the season
and there has been a general cleaning up
of all lots of wool which have been carried
over from the previous season. 1t begins
to look as though buyers who have not yet
secured their wool will be obliged % pay
advanced prices. Territory woods are es-
pecially active, with prices fully sustained.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Prospects of a bear

prices were disposed to slump off, the mar

market. The close was easy and near the
low point. May opened unchanged at $3.50
nc and ranged between -l61zG169sc and &c,
closing hn@sc lower at 765sc. Bradstreet's
worlds visible showed a decrease of ~2'lS5,OOO

Duluth reported receipts of 25 cars, which,
with local receipts of Ill cars, with one OF
contract grade, made total receipts for the
three points Of 1856 cars, against AZ last
week and 529 a year age.

oats were fairly active and the market
was quite steady after a fractional decline
early along with other grains. There was
considerable liquidation at the start, but
the offerings were well taken. Commits
sion houses were the best buyers. There
was less doing In the last half of the ses-
sion and the close was easier, with May CSC
lower at 33zC. after ranging between 3Sfsc

cars.
Provisions reflected the weakness In the
situation. due to extremely heavy receipts,
there beng $4,000 hogs posted on the ar
rival sheets, and prices at the yards were
1O615c lower. This led to considerable SELL
ing early by locals and there was also a
good deal of January sold by brokers, pre-
sumably for the account of some of the
packers. There was a good demand for May
lard, which helped prices. The close was
steady, with May polk 71z@10c lower at

Review of Operations on stock Ex-
change Up TO Noon.

NEW YORK, Dec. SO.-Prices moved
downward in the opening dealings, Anal
gamated Copper leading the way with a
decline of q. Brooklyn Transit also lost
a large fraction. Sugar showed a small
advance and Chicago Great Western rose
u, but the preferred b stock lost IA. Bust
ness was on a very small scale and there
were no changes excepting a small frac-
ton beyond. those mentioned.
The scarcity of offerings on the decline
checked any further short sales, and the
bears bought to cover causing a quick
recovery. Sugar, Manhattan, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit were conspicuously firm, but
did not rise more than a fraction above
last night. Metropolitan securities rose 4.
international Pump preferred 3 and St
Joseph & Grand Island preferred lost AZ.
Sugar was sold freely to realize after 1t
touched 100 and had gotten below 1913 before
IL o'clock.
The stiffness of the dull money rates at
u per cent and above did not prevent large
buying of the Erie stock on account of the
favorable November earnings, Other coal
ers advanced in sympathy, but the sym
pathetic responses in the Gould list was
light. Erie rose ~ and the second pre-
ferred IA. There was an advance of about
a point in Reading; Delaware & Hudson
gained 8; Chicago Great Western, st. Louis,
CINCINNATI Chicago & St. Louis, iowa Gem
trail, General Electric and Anaconda gained
a point. Bonds were irregular.
RealizatiOnS only caused q temporary
check to the advance which was renewed
with more confidence in all quarters. Ad-
y vance rr Of a aI point Roc or Gyer were gnir n9m 3 Gus
| second preferred 3% and Lackawanna 4.
Iowa Central preferred also sold "a and
the United States Express "a higher.
The strength of the coal permeated the
general list and here was a more active
demand for the standard railroads and nu-
merous specialties. The t~ranscontinenta
stocks were In good demand, led by st.
Paul. which reached IFS. Advances else
where ran from / to ~ for Great Northern,

nence. General Electric rose 3 and West

Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-31

CATTLE-There was a much larger run
of cattle here this morning than was gen.
orally expected and other points also had
heavy receipts, so that prices took another
tumble. Trading was rather slow from
start to finish, as there seemed to be more
cattle than packers cared for, and conse-
quently they took their time.
The market on beef steers did not suffer
as badly as might be expected owing to the
fact that the bulk of the offerings con-
sisted OF COW stuff. The kinds OF steers
thai just suited the buyers sold at right
around steady prices, but the general mar
ket could be quoted from nearly steady to
a dime lower. The bulk of the cattle were
only half fat, but still there were several
loads that were in pretty good condition.
The day was well advanced before a clear
ance was made.
The COW market was lower again this
morning in the great majority of cases.
The general decline amounted to about a
dime, though some sales of the best grades
and also some Gamers sold at what looked
to be nearly steady prices. The medium
grades have suffered the worst decline.
AS compared with last Friday the general
| market Is right close to a quarter lower.
Bulls, veal calves and stays were all a
little slow and weak owing 10 the decline
on steers and cows.
Their were scarcely enough stockers and
feeders on hand TO make a market, and as
SPECTATORS all wanted a few, Il iS safe to
call the market on desirable grades strong.
Common stun is Ftill somewhat neglected,
but owing to the extremely light offerings
Il is an easier matter to dispose of the
inferior grades than II was a short time
ago. Representative sales:
