undressing session the market closed at
about last nights prices. There were no
important news developments. d. & H..
was the feature of the market. advancing
to $50. The impression is gaining ground
that this advance is caused by something
more than the foreshadowing of an ex-
cellent statement. The break in Metropoli-
tan Street-railway securities came from
the liquidating of some long stock. by
holders who were frightened at the decline.
The bank statement was more favorable
than the room expected, but the money
question has now ceased to become a
feature of any moment. Erie was very
firm and probably is booked for an advance
next week.

REPRESENTATIVE Sales

Sheep-Recepts. 100; shipments none. The
marketing OF sheep and lambs this week has
been quite small. showing decrease of over
1900. compared with last week, 700, COM
pared with the same week a year ago, and
over 200. compared with the corresponding week
two years ago. Thus far this year there is
only slight change in the receipts, compared
with the same period last year. On account
OF the very small supplies. which made it i'm
possible for all buyers to be in the market, the
trading at all times has not been as active
might have been expected, but. IL any different
the requirements of local butchers have been
a little better. and good clsarances were made
each day. There has not been much fiuctuation
in prices, but rather a weaker tendency in keep
ing with the condition of affairs elsewhere. The
greatest weakness developed in the lamb mar
ket. and the close OF the week shows net loss
OF about 25c in prices. compared with the close
of last week. Sheep have not been coming plenti-
ful and nearly steady prices have been realized
most OF the week. The highest sales reported
were s575 for lambs and "a for sheep. but the
top was practically $3.50 for lambs and s3.75 for
old sheep. Not enough yearlngs have been
marketed to establish prices, but Ii is generally
claimed that they would have sold at from $40
$50. There were very few fresh arrivals to-
day. and. usual at this time OF the week, with
no important demand the market was quiet but

Jan. 31.-Cattle-Receipts. 100: shipments none.
The receipts cattle this week have been COM
paratively small. showing decrease OF 900.
compared with last week. nearly 300. compared
with the same week a year ago. and AGO. COM
pared with the corresponding week two years
ago. Thus far this year there is a decrease of
1.60o. compared with the same period last
year. The week opened with values about
steady. and on Tuesday there little hrmer
tone to the trade, but later the market began to
decline. and four days OF the week 1t was very
difficult for buyers and sellers to agree on prices.
The market became very Irregular, and there
considerable variance In the views OF deal
to the conditions existing, but at the
extreme close of the week II generally
agreed tat practically all fat steers had suf-
fered some change in prices. There were many
who did not hesitate to say that there had been
loss of least 10G15c. and there were
several who declared that prices were 2oa25c
lower. and particularly upon the class OF
cattle weighing upwards OF LOO lbs-that were
not quite up to the standard in quality and fat.
In the market for female butcher cattle the
conditions were not quie as unsatisfactory, blu,
among statesmen 1t claimed that prices were
not fully up to the standard at the close OF
last week. Some OF the leading buyers, how
ever. declared that their COW stuff was about
the close OF last. Whatever the position In
prices might have been. IL Is fact that sales
men have had the hardest weeks work OF the
season. and this. too. with exceedingly small
supplies AZ instance of the unevenness In
values. IL was not uncommon to get a repor,
Of steady prices in one section and In another
decline of logic the same day. With a
knowledge that consignments were making their
customers money. statesmen were of course
very reluctant In accepting prices. and this. OF
course. necessitated a slower trade than there
might otherwise have been. The market fol-
nary. in that the supplies have been too small
TO interest buyers to any extent, and very
small business was transacted. but steady prices
compared with the close of last week, have beer
maintained The highest prices paid this week
were sS.2o fer steers, 425 for heifers. 81 fol
cows. 81 for bulls and $7.50 for calves. The re-
ceipts to-day. as usual at this time In the week
were small. and there the usual quiet Sat
urday demand. Occasionally, perhaps in most
cases. statesmen quoted prices steady. compared
with yesterday, but IL required more time &C
consummate sales. At the extreme close of the
week tho pens had been very well cleared hui
there was nothing developed in the market tc
indicate that there would be an increased de.
mand In the near future. Quotations:
