CATrLE-There was O more moderate
run of cattle mere tEis me: nlng, ana even
though the supply Tor the week has been
very liberal, buyers lCok hold freeIy, and
a tully steady market was experienced.
About the usual proportion or the Offer
ings consisted OF beef steers, and while the
market was d little more active than 1t was
yesterday there was not much change In
prices. Owing to the rapid fluctuations OF
the last Few uays prices are rather uneven
so thai While some statesmen thought they
had a little better luck today, others were
calling the market no more than steady,
The general situation could probably. best
be described by calling the market fairly
active and fully steady.
There was also a little more snap to the
COW trade. Prices, though, showed very
little Improvement from yesterday, and the
same as was the case with beef steers, the
market could best be described by calling
IL fully steady. There were comparatively
few stnckers and feeders in the yards this
morning, 80 that an carly clearance was
Bulis. veal calves and stays did not show
enough change from yesterday TO be worthy
of mention.
There were very few stockers and feeders
on sale today, and as the end of the week
is at hand not many were wanted. The
few cattle that did arrive sold at just
about steady prices. The demand from the
country has been sufficient this week to
clean I'm practically all the desirable cattle
that have arrived, so that spectators will
start out the new week with empty pens.

NEW YORK, May 15.-There was some
further liquidation OF stocks today, which
seemed due much to the mere lapse of time
without any stock market awakening as to
any positive development in the situation.
Selling by tired holders is Wal streets ex-
p pre- phrase use for f. this v class OF aod aquiSS St
it was effective in depressing prices on ac-
count Of the almost total absence of any
buytng demand: There was some demand at
the lower level for bear account to cover
contracts. So considerable a price move
ment as that Of today has come to be SO
element is anxious to avail itself Of 1t to
take quick. profits. The activity was rela-
lively much greater on the decline than on
the recovery and the recovery was not well
held, prices sagging again toward the last,
making a ~lifeless and heavy. closing. To
days declines carried a number of promi-
nent stocks to the low level for the year,
including st. Paul, New York Central,
pennsylvania, Southern Pacific and the
United States Steel stocks. The previous
low level was at the time Of the break in
connection with the Northern Securities de-
cisio9, and today's low prices were only
fractionally below those at that time, ex-
cept the United States Steel stocks, in
The Steel stocks were notably firm today,
although the dealings in them were small
and the price variation very narrow. Re
ports of further reduction In the price of
iron did not affect them. although the con-
dition of the iron market was a continued
incentive in the market. Reports that the
Lehigh Valley had determined TO curtail its
intended improvements, owing to the high
cost Of material and labor, were accepted as
a symptom which promises badly for the
further demand for finished iron products,
however much benefit may accrue to net
earnings of railroads. The fear of a gen.
eral dtminution of consumption of all prod
ucts on account OF the high level of prices
plays a strong part in the hesitation now
ruling in the speculative market. OF to-
days more immediate future the forecast
of a weak bank statement was the fore
most. The loss of the banks to the SUBJ
treasury amounting to 1856, 900, and to-
days engagements OF 81, 2O,OO gold to be
shipped to Argentina tomorrow, make an
aggregate which is scarcely offset by the
estimated receipts of the banks on balance
from the interior. 1t is feared that the
process of loan expansion by the banks has
been proceeding on a liberal scale during
the week In the course of the paying off OF
foreign Indebtedness. 1t will be seen that
the net result upon the surplus reserve
promises to decrease that item. Reports OF
damage to the wheat crop by the Hessian
fly played a part in the selling of the gran
gers. The news of the Illness of Z. II. Har-
riman did not cause any special effect or
stocks in which he is largely interested.
The bond market continued Irregular today,
but the general tone was heavy. Total
