SHEEP-There was a small supply. of
sheep here today and as packers all had
to ave a few the market ruled active and
fully steady. Some fed western ewes sold
as high as $3.45. native fed ewes brought
1856 and a bunch of fed western yearling
wethers brought 1895 and 400. AS supplies
were limited practically everything Of
fered changed hands In good season. There
were no choice lambs with which to make
a test of the market, but still the general
impression was that anything desirable
would nave brought steady prices.
The feeder trade was rather slow this
morning, as very few buyers were on hand,
but the better grades held steady.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Early strength Gives Way to Dull aud
Heavy when Messnge is Published.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The notable early
strength in today's stock market was APP
the part of some of the really passive spec
ulative pools. The socalled western con-
tingent was credited with large t%ranSac-
lions. The operators on the bull side pro-
fessed to have advance Information Of the
presidents message. Either their Informal
ton OF their judgment of its effect was at
fault according to the effect of the market
after the publication of the message. The
market lacked all power of resistance to
selling movement from that time forward
and the selling pressure gained in force
until near the close, which was dull and
heavy.
of the speculation on the local fractions
had a depressing effect on the general mar
ket. The decline in fractions was due TO a
natural desire to take profits, bat also in
part TO the announcement that a judicial
decision on the special franchise tax was
impending, Another chilling influence was
money market, contained in another furry
in the call loan rate to Z per cent. This
was attributed in part to the requirements
Illinois Central stock, but the engagement
Of $4,000 in gold for shipment to South
America was of even greater
effect. This gold goes to pay for, wheat
bought for account of England, and there
fore resembles to some extent the triangu-
lar operation by which gold has gone to
Paris to pay London's debt. The deposit of
$3JO,OOO at the subtreaSury for transfer to
San Francisco marked the continuance of
interior needs for money. Collections OF
customs continue to make heavy inroads
upon the New York money market. The
Published report that some of the leading
trust companies are offering special induce
ments was disquieting. The effect of these
efforts cost the market all of its early adj
vances and carried the level for many
prominent stocks from l to 2 points below
last night.
The bond market became easier in SYM
pathy with the late transactions In stocks.
Total sales, par value, &,170,OOO. United
States Is, coupon, declined Is per cent on
the last call.
