CATTLE MARKET WEAK

In Prices of 25 to 40 For
the Week

The Supply Was Not Large Today and
the Price Was About 5 Cents Higher
Than That of Yesterday Sheep

Average Of Sales For the Day.
,es STRONG AND HIGHER

Chicago. Oct. 1.-The cattle market
prices were weak, being 25@40 cents
lower than a week ago. This result is
attributable to large supplies.
MANY lots which had been held since
Thursday We're not shown yesterday,
sellers preferring to hold for next Mon
DAVIS market and these followers in
cluded several punches of good, fat
cattle which arrived Wednesday. Bids
for these cattle late Thursday and Fri
day were far too low for salesmen's
consideration and they had no alterna-
tive, but to lock the gates.
Hogs.
There was an active demand and
prices sold strong at an average of 5
higher. The supply was not large,
1000 arriving today and 1880 left over
last night.
Packers have been very unwilling to
pay any advance and the trade on
common to medium grades was gener-
ally slow and not much better than
steady. Coarse heavy sows and COM
mon light were very dull sale and quite
good many Of that class remained
unsold.
Quality of hogs was generally very
poor yesterday, and there We're only a
few that were good enough to attract
the attention of butcher buyers and
eastern shippers.
Last months run was the smallest
September hog total since 1888, when
only 100000 in round numbers ar
rived
Sheep.
The market was fairly active for
Saturday at the recent decline. Today's
arrivals were largely consigned to
packers, receipts for the week being
extremely large.
Offerings of feeding stock were not
large, but the proportion Of such stock
was greater than on Thursday. In
general way the demand for feeding
sheep and lambs was very good, but
sellers were unable to do any better
than get steady prices on this class of
stock yesterday.

Price of Feeding Lambs.
livestock World.l


Current prices of western range
feeding lambs in this market are a.
bout 25c per 100 pounds higher than
year ago. Contention of consider
able warmth has developed between
rangemen and feeders. The former
contend that present prices are not
high enough and intimate that when
feeders are ready to pay IS for thin
lambs supply will be forthcoming.
Feeders object even to the present Lew
ell of prices, which is above the av-
erage and not a few are holding back
in expectancy of big run from Mon.
tana little later. The bull element
in the situation is the direct movement
from ranges to feed lots west of the
Missouri river. Range men are &C.
cused of a disposition to magnify the
Importance of this, while growers in
innate that 1t is larger than ever be-
fore, and that intending eastern buy
ers are Understanding it's influences
on prices. Chicago is undoubtedly the
best feeding market in the country
at present and if orders on file could
be filled the shipping movement would
be trebled. Feeding sheep, especially
are very scarce. While large num-

Conditions In the Business
World Are Growing More

Weather Conditions, the Higher Esti-

New York, Oct. 1.-Bradstreet's to-
day sa. S:
"The word Improvement summariz-
es briefly the course of trade and gen.
eral industry this week. Attic the
movements, as for a time past, are
along conservative lines, the undertohe
is rather more optimistic than at any
previous time this season. Reasons Tor
this are found in the continuance OF
propitious weather conditions, "a ten
dency to enlarge final estimates ol
grain crop yields, more activity IN pig
iron and better collections, based upon
enlarged crop movement.
coordination of these reports Is
found in indicated increases IN pailh
clearings, both in New York and OUT
Der. year ago, and in continued gains
aggregating 5 per cent in gross rail-
way earnings over 1903. Money is, on
the whole, firmer, rejecting belateo
crop movement necessities. A striking
absence of political agitation as rehect-
ing trade is noted and the feeling gen
erally is that the year will close better
than it began.
"Notable features are the improve
mant in jobbing trade .at nearly all
western points in dry goods SHOES
groceries. millinery, hardware, paints
and drugs. Reports of better collec-
tons are very general. Warmer
weather tends to retard retail trade
somewhat, but on the whole helps
crops to mature better than was at. one

e. II. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago Oct. 1.-Wheat-There has
been a quite session with little news
and no disposition to sell short. In
this particular, the strength of cash
wheat all over and the fact that Sep
TENDER went out at Ill seemed to pos
sess considerable influence. Toledo re-
ported No. 9 at 1.19. Arrivals here
were moderate, only 81 cars and 40 es-
timated for Monday. Primary receipts
failed to develop any excess, but were
below last year. Broomhall estimates
worlds shipments at 9,,6O0O0O bushels.
Cables were dull. The market was
generally firm and above closing of
Friday.
Corn.,Corn futures were firm and a
trif1e higher. Small primary receipts,
only $4,000 bushels, were the main
factors and they support the conten-
ton of the cash houses that supplies of
old grain are not getting low. Gables
were Indifferent. The disputations as
to the exact size of the corn crop from
an interesting phase and the govern
ment report is awaited anxiously.
New York confirms IA boat loads of
corn taken for export today.
Oats-Ths market continued it's
placid course and despite heavy stocks
1t seems TO be hard task to depress
December oats TO SO of below. There
were 1870 ears here today.

Notable Discovery by Accident.

1t was by an accident that an import

Cal, recently. 1t has always been held
impossible to synchronize electric cur

CHS done, but there was no explosion
when the heavy load of two currents
was imposed.
Also, power was sent from the plant
of the Bay Counties company at Colfax
to the Standard Electro company at

miles. Stockton city is supplied WITH
power by the Standard company, but
there was a. make in the service, and
the Bay Counties power was turned on.

D,,n,s Review,

New York Oct. 1.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade today says:
"The last quarter of 1904 opens with
much brighter prospects than prevails
ed a wear ago. At that time securities
had fallen an average of $34 a share
from the top point of year previous
and there was general disposition to
curtail manufacturing and commercial
operations because of the heavy loss.
es. The nation was entering on a
period of conservatism, augmented by
numerous labor controversies.
cat the present time there are no
alarming features. strikes are few anc
small orders infrequent. Business does
not show the hesitation customary
during the closing weeks of presi-
Dental campaign, and the prospect OF
profitable agricultural results stinu-
lates trade, especially among retailers
at the west and south. Building oper-
ations are expanding. providing bet
ter demand for lumber and materials.
Clothing and kindred lines are stfmn~
lated by colder weather, and clearance
sales are we'll attended. Manufa
ing plants are decreasing the propor-
ton of idle machinery. Railway earn
ings for September exceeded last
years by 65 per cent. Foreign COM
merce at this port for the last week
showed a small decrease in exports
and a gain of s2.163,346 in imports as
compared with 1903. Security markets
have risen s14 above the correspond
ing date last year, and money is easy
and abundant.
with the exception of steel rails,
which are not on parity with the
rest of the market prices Of iron and
steel have apparently attained a posi-
ton Of stability, and tardly contracts
are gradually coming forward.
"Textile manufacturing plants are
still operating on reduced time. There
is no accumulation of cotton goods,
but purchasers persist in disregard
ing future needs, combining business to
immediate requirements only.
"Failures this week numbered 223 in
the United States against 226 last year
and Is in Canada compared with 10

BEEF UP; BEER DOWN
Price Of Meats Advanced by the Pack
ing House Owners at chicago-Now
at Highest Point in Years - Beer
War On,

War On.
Chicago, Oct. BEEF went up with
bound yesterday and beer came
down with thud. A half-cent a
pound was tackled onto the price OF
the better cuts of meats, making the
price cent pound higher than the
values exacted during the packing
house strike, the other half-cent hav-
ing been added Immediately after the
union men gave up the struggle a.
gainst their former employees. No rea-
son was given for this latest advance.
With beer the shift of prices was in
dollars rather than cents. Amber llq-
uid Of the grade that normally sells
for Sc a barrel could be bought as low
as $3.50. The big reduction as due to
fight for trade among the brewer
les. the cut being made by the So
called trust in an effort to undermine
the business of a local brewery which
has refused to come into the fold.
The added half-cent to the price OF
choice cuts of beef brought the whole-
sale price up to II cents pound. Be-
fore the stock yards strike the price
was Is cents After the strike ended
half a cent was added.
Yesterday the retail dealers and res
taurant owners We're dismayed by the
announcement that there had been still
another advance of half a cent. AS
one restaurant owner said:
cit looks as if the packers need-or
want-the money. Market conditions
do not justify the advance, which sim-
ply means that the packers will make
about 3 per cent more profit than for
merly on the best grades of meat. And
prices, too, already were abnormally
high. We must grin and bear it,
