There is an increase OF 500 over the same week

are over 5000 larger than the same time last
year and for the month thus far there is a gain
OF $500 compared with the same period a year

change IN prices of cattle this week in a gen.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The market as a whole
to-day was o tame affair. The trading was con-
fined to the floor, and the closing of contracts
for the week in the last hour caused slightly
lower quotations. The bank statement was bet
ter than expected, the surplus above legal re-
quirements being nearly 81, coo. 900.
The mercantile agency reports through the
country are improved. and reports from the
bankers in the West say that money conditions
for the crop movement have been very satisfac-
tory. The decline in Republic Iron and Steel
preferred has, no doubt, discounted the reduc-
ton or passing of dividend on Monday. The rail-
roads report good earnings.
