UndertOne Heavy.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Today's trans
fers of stocks again reached an aggregate
of over 1000 shares, but the animation of
the speculation is decidedly deteriorated
from the nearly 2,OOO,C 600 share business of
Monday. There was great variety in the

The weather news from the western
grain regions was the central topic of dis

that the. strength in this section of the

made for the great steamship merger, the
coming stock conversion by the United
States Steel corporation, the provision for
the purchase of the Louisville g. Nashville

bond issue for $50. 0O0,0 600, indicate some of
the heavy requirements upon the present
narrowed resources of the money market.
An incident of the day was a sharp rally
in sugar of AZ in the expressions Of conf

and a number of minor speclaltles were
strong. There was strength also in the
number of minor railroad stocks on the
ground. The Wisconsin Central stocks, the
Toledo, st. Louis & Western stocks and the
Detroit Southern stocks were in this class.
The market closed heavy.
Consolidated Tobacco As were strong and
active. Otherwise the BOND market was
irregular. Total sales, par value, 81, 100, 600,
United States bonds were all unchanged on
the last call.

same days of last year, there is not much

The big end of the receipts was made up
of beef steers, and while the market was
not particularly active, still the prices
paid were steady to strong. The strength,
however. was confined almost entirely to
the choicest grades, and such kinds sold
though, were no more than steady, and did
not sell any too freely. Most of them,
though, were disposed of in good season at
not far from yesterdays prices.
The COW market was fairly active on

HOGS-Receipts of hogs were not at all
heavy this morning, so that a slight de-
crease for the three days this week Is
noted as compared with the same days of
last week. As compared with the same
days of last year there is an enormous
decrease, as will be seen from the table
of receipts above.
Packers started in and tried to buy the
hogs a good deal lower than yesterday,
but sellers held on and the market soon
improved and the bulk of the offerings
sold only n shade lower than yesterday.
The good weights brought right around
steady prices, while the lighter loads sold
weak to &c lower. The quality of the
hogs, though, was much above the aver
age, so that the market on paper looks
high as compared with yesterday. The
most of the heavy hogs sold from $500 to
500, while medium weights went from
$3.50 to $3.50, and the lighter hogs sold
from $3.50 down. The same as usual
packers were very slow about buying the
light hogs and they were left until the
last. RenreaantntlNe sales.

.SHEEP-There were on1y two cars Of
sheep and lambs on sale this morning, SO
that there was not enough here to make
of clipped lambs that sold for $3.50 and a
car of wooled ewes that brought $685..
Both sales looked good and strong as
compared with yesterdays market. Pack
ers all seemed to be anxious for supplies
and had there been more good stun here
II is safe to say that Il would have
brought very satisfactory prices.
For the week the market can be quoted
strong to a dime higher, with good stun
There have been very few feeders on
sale so far this week, but the few that
have been offered have sold readily at
strong prices.
