UNION S~TOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec.
H.-Hogs-There was another good run Of hogs
to-day. but only about two-thirds Of the supply
was IN the pens when the market opened At
the start shippers were better supplied with
orders than yesterday. This. together with rea-
sonably favorable reports from other places.
caused statesmen to hold their consignments at
higher prices. Good competition developed early
In the day between packers and shippers for
the good medium to heavy hogs, and opening
sales were around 10c higher than yesterdays
closing prices. Lighter grades. however. were
not given the same attention and sold steady
to &c higher.
After the first round the market became rather
feverish for the choice hogs, and at least a few
sales were negotiated at an advance of 15c in
prices. indicating that practically all Of yester-
days loss was regained. Still the light hogs
did not make any advance. and therefore there
is 4 wider margin between prices OF heavy and
light than there has been recently. After a few
minutes Of 'high-roller'' sales il was evident
that the Important orders had been executed
and an easier tendency in the market imme-
ciately developed. A number of c-onsignments
arrived late. and with both packers and ship
pers well supplied. the trading toward the close
was quieter. Some Of the sales represented a
decline OF sc from the top price At noon several
loads OF hogs had not changed hands, and all
buyers had lett the market. The extreme range
In sales to-day was from s4.SSq4-75. and the bulk
or the supply sold at s4.45G4.65. most OF the re-
eeipts having been hogs averaging upwards of

The Steel-Rail Contest.

The present contest between the railroads
and the steel makers is by all odds the most
interesting feature of the steel market, and
is being fought out with an obstinacy on
both sides which makes it pretty hard for
the employees of both rail mills and the rail-
roads who need the work. Against the
present price of $2S n ton the railroads have
brought forth the argumen that the same
rail makers who would charge American
roads that price are selling rails in Korea
at So and in Canada at $24. The railroads
argue that this gives the Canadian trans
continental line. an unfair advantage in
competition with the lines in the United
States. In answer the steel rail makers say
that the American roads receive full do
nestle freight rate for every ton of rails
sent into Canada. with full rates for the
iron ore, the coal and the coke used In the
manufacturing, so that before the Canadian
consumer is reached the rails nave paid full
freight rates to the railroads in the United
States. 1t is claimed, also, that the freight
bills of the United States Steel Corporation
run over $4,000 600 a year, exceeding the
total value OF the rail output about $780,

the sam time last week and $1,000 smaller than
the same period a year ago.
Receipts of sheep this week show a decrease
of ESQ compared with the same time last week
and $50 compared with the corresponding time a
year ago. The receipts to-day were increased,
but not quite equal to q week ago and l0
smaller than a year ago.
The receipts of hogs continue comparatively

Combined receipts of cattle for four days show
a decrease of nearly 500 compared with the same

ago.
XXX
Wednesdays receipts Of hogs were the largest
Of the year thus far and, in fact, the largest
since Nov. 10, 1902. when 2.s99 were received.
With that exception they were the largest for a
single day In over two years. or since Dec. 8,
1901. when the record for one day was made,

ky
Thus far this week the receipts of stock indi-

ported steady yesterday. with choice grades pos
sibly strong. Sheep and lambs were steady, and
the hog market was active at unevenly higher
prices.
The Cincinnati Price Current says: ''There
has been a further moderate enlargement in
the number OF hogs marketed, the total being OF
fairly liberal proportions and considerably in ex-
compared with $50. Oc0 the preceding week and
$4,000 for the corresponding time last year.
From Nov. / the total is 3. 1870 600. against 3. 40. DOC
a year ago, a decrease Of 240, coo. The ,-Lality is
good. Prices close with a small gain, the aver
age for prominent markets indicating $40 pei
100 lbs. The speculative provision market was
fairly active the past week and a steady to firm
tone prevailed. There was enough demand al
all times to check the declines, and the liberia
receipts of hogs did not seem to affect prices
adversely. The export clearances of product
were fair"

Earnings of the b. & O.

The report Of the gross and net earnings
of the Baltimore, & Ohio system for No
vember and for the five months of the fiscal
year ended with Nov. 30 were announced
yesterday by Secretary c.. w. Woolford.
The November earnings were: Gross. S.
319, S63, an increase of $2S9,912; net, 81, 703, $40.
a decrease of Sl11,l39 from November of
1902. For the five months of the fiscal wear.
compared with the same period of 1902, the
earnings were: Gross, 500, 226, 272, an increase
of $772, 23. The small decrease in net earn
ings for November from the same month of
a year ago was due largely to the decrease
in industrial traffic. A year ago there was
all of this class of traffic from the Pitts
burg district that the system could handle.
Merchandise shipments for the last month
however, were heavier. than a year ago.

MISUNDERSTANDING Sales.

"A the marketing OF cattle con-
tinues OF small volume statesmen thus far this
week have been unable TO force any general
advance In values The trade has been Influenced
by rather a demoralized condition of affairs
elsewhere. Although buyers have not been able
70 get just what they wanted at all times they
have. refused TO 90 anything to attract larger
receipts. About the only Improvement IN the
market has been an easier outlet for cattle that
were well Up to the requirements of killers
IN quality and fat. The best cows and keifers
nave gained about 10c over last weeks prices.
There Is a very duh market for butcher steers
that are too thin in flesh and too poor in quality,
and they can he transferred only after much
difficulty and then at low prices. There is a fair
demand for the good stockers and feeding cattle
at former prices Bulls are not showing any
material change in prices. and the calf market
continues weak, with sales to-day the lowest
they have been for some time past Quotations.:
