The receipts for the week were literally
heavier than last week by about twenty
eight loads and heavier than the same week
last year about 1854 cars. About four hfths
remaining one-fifth were cornfeds of fairly
good quality.
The market on beef steers was very sat

The COW and helfer trade was not as sat

was weak tone to the trade all through.
Along the first of the week the market
broke badly and the loss was not wholly
regained, although the last two market
days there was better feeling and prices
picked up little. On both natives and
grassers the market stands dime lower,
although the real prime stun may not be
on as much as this. The liberal supply
held the westerns down and the natives
were hurt by the decline on grassers

NEW YORK. Aug. 26-The brief session
Of the stock market brought no return of
the early weeks sanguine tendency. Trad
ing was unusually light and narrow The
professional element was evidently disposed
70 make no commitments either way in
view OF the reports from Portsmouth. In
fact, more interest was displayed in the
great turf event Of the day than in the
market. Sentiment as reflected on the El-
ropean exchanges was not Of the sort to in
spire confidence, though some American
stocks were higher in London. Paris how
ever, reported a decline in rentes and Berlin
showed some hesitancy.
With scarcely an exception opening prices
mere were lower than at yesterdays close.
Reading opened full point down and went
stun lower, but rallied partially. other ac-
tive issues, such as Union Pacific, Missouri
Pacific, New York Central, Fries and Anal
gamated Copper, yielded substantial frac-
lions or more with an abrupt drop OF 2
points In Atlantic Coast Line The traction
stocks were relatively strong on buying
from commission houses with local political
athliations. UnOfficial reports OF a favorable
character upon the peace negotiations were
rife in the last hour and fairly heavy buy

Stock exchange was dull awaiting peaCa

and lack of support were responsible for
the sagging tendency. Consols eased a frac-

about parity and closed quiet. Foreign Sc
curities were inactive. Japanese were dis
posed to harden and Russians were sGade
easier. japanese imperial 6s OF 1904 were
quoted at 1O4.

SHEEP-Ihere were no fresh arrivals to-
day, and as everything was cleaned up yes
terday the big barn was deserted While
the receipts for the week were light, they
were heavier than last week, but not OF
such good quality. The market was in a
very Satisfactory condition all the week,
the only drawback being the light receipts.
There was a good strong call from all
sources and the supply has hardly equaled
the demand. on Monday the market broke
lOGD15c all around and trading was slow
and dull but from then on values had an
upward tendency and the loss was more
than regained. Sheep and yearlings for
the week are a little stronger than the
close OF last week and some statesmen call
them lOd15c higher. Lambs are fully
steady and the highest price OF the season,
ST. 49, was paid during the week.
There were not near enough feeder sheep
and lambs here 10 meet the requirement.
OF the trade and feeder buyers were not
able to do much There Is a strong de-
mand for feeders here and there are plenty
OF orders waiting 20 be filled. on this
class OF sheep the market is lOQl5c higher
for the week, with the trade IN good active
condition.
