STOCK MARKET GOSSIP
! GOOD BANK STATEMENT AND MUCH HOPE
F1TI, TALK

There is good buying Of Pacific Mail and it
is rumored that the chances of the ship sub
sldy bill passing are frightening materially.
The bank statement is all right and the best
point Is that the deposits are above the loans
b hor the r. time in year or more Money,
Iraders say the noticeable disposition towards
activity In bonds is very encouraging. Bond
houses report more inquiry and actual sales
at profit of bonds carried for the past few
months: The Investment buying of bonds on
exchange is picking up and quota tions are ad-
Vanc1ng. With ease in money this is natural
and viii likely be followed by purchases of in
1t is argued in the Waldorf Astoria crowd
that while the stock market gives no reflection
of changes for the better in the financial sftua-
ton 1T will soon do So Brokers who take this
view advise the purchase of good stocks and
look for higher prices for the active stocks
This is particularly true of the iron and steel
industries, an increased demand for pig iron
and steel products being cited to explain the
recent buying and strength of the steel stocks,
especially the preferred.
In this connection 1t is considered significant
! that reports from Pittsburg. for months a most
pessimistic trade center, have taken an en-
couraging turn. All this has led to free COW
ering of bear commitments in steel preferred
stock. but the short interest in the latter stilI
outstanding is believed to be enormous.

ON LOWER TREND
THRU The WEEK
PRICES SAG A LITTLE IN BOTH
CATTLE AND HOGS.
The Sheep Market in Condition High
ly Satisfactory to SelIers-Prices
Running Stronger for Both killing
Sheep and Lambs-War Possibility
a Factor in Live Stock Prices.

South st. Paul, Jan. 16, 1904.-Receipts
of cattle here this week total about $3.50,
compared with 2,432 last week and 1855
the same week last year. This weeks
calf receipts were about AIS, compared
with $50 last week and BIT the CORE
spending week last year. Heavy receipts
and lower markets in the east were re-
sponsible for the decline in local prices
on beef and butcher cattle and the clos
ing Of business finds the market on about
a basis Is to 25c lower than week ago.
The decline applies to all grades of kill
ing steers and cow stuff, with Gamer
cows probably showing the most loss. The
demand is good at the decline and pros
poets are for a steadier market next week.
Bulls close the week on a 10 to 15c lower
basis and veal calves have declined near
ly Csc. The stock and feeding cattle mar
ket has been less active than last week
and trading the last few days has been
slow at prices steady to somewhat lower
| than those ruling last week.
HOGS-There were about $4,000 hogs
received, against S7,346 last week and
24,S12 in the corresponding week last
year. The week opened with heavy re-
ceipts at all markets and a decline Of 15c
in values on Monday. On the two sue
ceeding days, the market reacted, gaining
all Of Mondays decline. On Thursday,
values held steady and showed little
| change to Friday. If there are no changes
to-day, the week will close with prices
on a fully steady basis with last Satur-
day. Indications are for liberal receipts
, next week and probably lower values, I'M
less there should be a more serious turn
in affairs in the far east.
SHEEP-Sheep receipts total about 10.
800, compared with 21,8S0 last week and
9007 in the corresponding week last year.
During the first half of the week the mar
ket on both sheep and lambs was in a
highly satisfactory condition to the seller
with prices on the better grades showing
/ a stronger tendency. On Thursday the
market weakened and prices now stand
a little lower than a week ago. Most OF
the good ewes for slaughter are selling
at $3.50 to $780, wethers of good quality
around 81 to $40, yearling wethers al
| $4.75, and good to choice fat lambs from
$5.25 to $3.50. Trade in feeders continues
! of small volume. ~...
