while best hogs closed for the day at $500.
There has been decided improvement in the
quality Of late, there being larger proportion
of 150@23O-pound averages and fewer 3OO@4OO-
pound loads among the arrivals This weeks
average promises to fall below 230 pounds, or
the lightest weekly average in over three
months. The crop of hogs has commenced
running. consequently it is expected receipts
from now will increase very materially.
Values for prime mutton sheep and best
lambs are close to the range paid here last
week, mutton sheep still holding up to the
best range ever paid for grass stock, but the
palmer grades of western sheep are of Csc
from best prices paid here last week. Prime
wethers Quotable around $61o. best ewes
up to Sc and the bulk Of native ewes at $5@6.75,
while best western ewes have gone at $3.50
and plain class of western ewes at $3.75@4.25,
rank old Gull range ewes averaging only "a
pounds as low 50. Lambs are selling up to
last weeks prices, the best lots of natives
late this week at $7.5o@7.65, bulk at $6.5o@
7.4o, and the fat western lambs are quotable
at $6.60@7.4O, while the feeders selling at
$5.6O@625 are 30@5oc lower than best time
lest week, and available to buyers at the most
favorable prices Of the season. Big receipts
are promised for the trade again at the start
next week, but prices for fat stock seem on
a very reliable basis.

FAILURES IN OCTOBER

Commercial failures during October were S52
in number and $6,751, 1892 in amount of de-
faulted indebtedness, according to statistics COM
piled by Dun's Review, against SSS insolvencies
in the same month last year, when the liabili-
ties were $40, 525, 728. In manufacturing occu-
pations there We're 237 failures for $3,444, S15,
against 226 in 1904 for $4, 500, 272, Trading de.
faults numbered 592 for So, O36, 631, compared
with 633 last year, when liabilities aggregated
$5199,21s. Even in. the third class of CONNER
cial failures, embracing real estate, brokerage
and other concerns not properly included In the
two principal divisions, the comparisons was
favorable, % failures for $27O,546 falling far
below the 20 for $723, 23S In October, 1904. OF
banks and other nduciary institutions there were
suspensions for $5,974,5 $40, against Z last year
involving $342 900 and Fl in 1903 for $13 OS4 1885,
In every respect except banking failures the
October comparison with any recent year is de-
cidedly favorable, and last years record of
financial defaults was abnormally light. -.
Not only were liabilities smaller by over one
third than in the same month last year, but the
comparison is still more favorable when carried
further back In fact only one year made q
better exhibit than 1905 since these monthly
records were first committed. : = -. :

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

Receipts Of livestock at the South St. Paul
market for the first days Of the week totaled
sheep, compared with 1920 cattle, 1,46e
calves, coils hogs, and 69,9O4 sheep the pre-
ceding week and 25,016 cattle, 995 calves, 90 a4S
hogs and 1881 sheep the corresponding week
last year.
The supply at this market, in common with
all leading points, was liberal, and following
eastern markets there were declines affecting
the medium grades of stuff. Demand remains
good for the better grades of beef steers and
cows, and the outlet wide for the better
kinds of killing stuff. Good to choice steers

market The outlet would be good If any were
offered, prices comparing favorably with those

been made up of cows, and prices have been

kinds selling from 50 .35 to $2.7O were affected
principally and it took better cutters to make

OCTOBER INTERPRETATIONS

Total interpretations in the eastern states
during October, with $1,0O0.O00 or more capital,
and increases in the capitalization of COM
panies previously in existence amount to $780,
05O,0O0. This falls far below the September
total, which was $167, 400, 900, and also the
October total of last year, which was $215,-
500 900. The October figures would have made
a much poorer showing but for the increase
of $35. 900 in the capitalization of the New
York and New Jersey Telephone company, 1t
is somewhat curious fact that in September
the total was swelled by the large sum OF
$1O0.O00,000 thru increases in the capital stock
of two independent telephone companies Thus
it will be seen that the telephone interests
figured conspicuously in both months. Following

INDUSTRIAL PROSPERITY

The general belief is that greater prosperity
is in store for the country, says the Financia!
World. When one considers that the railroad
equipment companies have orders on hand of
over $3.50, 900, and that it will take a full
year to execute the same, it is easy to snder-
stand the bullish feeling regarding industrials.
But 1t must not be forgotten that it will take
more than one two years good business to
turn the enormous water in our industrial COM
panies into values. ~ 49,. 20 .-- J
