CATTLE-There was a light run of cattle
here today, so that prices held fully steady.
The market was not exactly brisk, but at
the same time II was very noticeable that
there was a better undertone to the trade
than there was last week.
Receipts included only about ten or a
dozen cars of cornfed steers and anything
desirable sold at full steady prices. In
some cases sales were made that looked, If
anything, a little stronger. Most of the
cattle were of rather common quality,
though a few punches were in pretty fair
condition.
The COW market was also steady with
the close of last week. Buyers were out
In good season, and, as supplies were lin
tied, II was not long before the bulk of
the offerings was out of first hands. The
better grades of cows and heifers were
the ones In greatest request and In some
cases they commanded strong prices.
Bulls, veal calves and stays were easily
disposed OF at last weeks prices and the
pens were empty in good season. =
There were very few stockers and feeders
in the yards, so that, while the demand
was not heavy, 1t was sufficient to take
what was offered at steady prices. Com
mon stun was. of course, more or less
neglected, the same as usual.
A few cars OF western range cattle ar
rived, but still there were not enough to
attract the attention OF buyers. As a gen.
eral thing they cold in the same notches
they did last week. Representative sales:

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Protecting Banks Check DangerOus
Decline, Though nrket IL Dull.

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-The protective
measures agreed upon by the. banks OF this
city had the effect OF checking a danger
Gus looking decline in the stock market to-
day and the market closed tranquil and
rather dull. The undertone at the last was
firm and the losses of the earlier part OF
the day generally were recovered. When
Saturdays level had been reached on the
recovery the action of the market indicated
that the measures taken by the banking
community were by no means designed to
induce speculation for the rise at this time.
Prices of the market leaders as they rose
over Saturdays level were held back by
very liberal offerings. The statement was
made that no fears were entertained of
the present situation and that the forma-
ton of the protective pool was only a pre-
cautionary measure and probably no action
would be required on the part Of its MEM
market. While the knowledge of the steps
taken by the ruling powers In the financial
all quarters, the belief was not disguised
that the pool was an emergency measure,
not differing in kind or degree from those
adopted in other periods of crises in Wall
street. The action OF the market this
morning on the weeks violent decline. fol-
lowing as that did also a prolonged period
over the outcome. The violent measures
adopted in the Venezuelan trouble added to
the uneasiness. Sentiment was also pessi-
mistic over the money outlook. The open
ing rate was 10 per cent and the days
large syndicate requirements and the heavy
accumulations for the Standard OIL divi-
dend aroused the fear that there would DO
additional large Withdrawals of credit. Not
only the immediate but the prospective
syndicate needs, running up to many mil
lions of dollars. were calculated to aggra-
vate the fears of borrowers. The state
ment of the country's foreign trade for
November was discouraging as to the for
eign exchange situation, showing, as 1t did,
a decrease In the balance of trade In our
favor of over S24,O 1900 compared with No
Vember, 1901. The small interior grain
movement lessened the effect also of the
recent revival in the grain EXPORTS; later
in the day some effect vas produced upon
sentiment by the rise in Chicago exctiInge
from &c premium on Saturday to 40c pre-
MUM today. The payment by the sub
treasury of $4,000 on a telegraphic trans
fer from San Francisco marked the abate-
ment of a demand upon the New York
money market, which has caused much
apprehension. The foreign exchange mar
ket also weakened materially. This last
named feature was directly due to the
higher money rate. What effect upon all
these factors may result from the pro-
vision Of a $780, 900, 900 relief fund for the
New York money market Is a problem
which is the subject of much interested
surmise. The market showed some hest
tation at the close, but the tone was firm.
The bond market was broad and in the
morning was weak. but showed some re-
covery. Total sales, par value, 1920 600.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.
