The general quality of the offerings OF
fat killing sheep has been little better
than has been coming in lately. GOOD
choice, fat stock, suitable for the Christ
mas trade, has been selling at good, strong
prices all week, while the common ana
medium grades have been rather slow AT
prices steady to easier. Generally speak
ing, however, the market on fat sheep Is
steady to strong for the week. Packers APP
pear to have been wanting some gooo
choice medum-w weight yearlngs, ana what
has been on the market found ready sale
at good, strong prices. Lambs have oeen
2 little slow all week, but, f9rtunatei .i
the supply has been small. Tho week
closes with lambs steady, however.
There has been fairly liberal supply OF
feeding sheep on the market this week
and, while the trading on this kind OF
sheep was rather active the fore part OF
the week, the demand made by the counc
try buyers fell off n little. The quality OF
the offerings has generally been fairly
good. Choice feeder sheep have found ready
sale at prices that were steady throughout
the week. However, It will be well Tor
shippers to use a little caution in making
their shipments from now until after the
holidays. The demand as is usually the
little slack and all warmed-up or short
fed stock will have a hard time and nave
to be disposed of at sacrifice. Genera,ly
speaking, the market on feeders closes the
week with no quotable change in prices. ,

ROCK ISLAND IS A WEAK SPOT
Extensive selling on Intimation that

satisfactory.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-There was consid-
cradle confusion in the price movement
curing TO-DAY active stock market and
sentiment in speculative circles was con-
siderably unsettled the result. There
were spots Of progressive strength still
principally amongst industrial stocks and
some of the high grade railroads, of which
the floating supply is small. on the other
hand, there was active liquidation manifest
at one or two points, notably in Southern
Pacific and in Rock Island and affiliated
stocks The official intmaton that the
Rock Island preferred dividend was to be
suspended in January was the sufficient eX-
PLANTATION Of the weakness in the Rock
Island shares The heavy selling of South
ern Pacific was attributed to speculative
holders who had counted upon early divi-
dend payments on that stock and who
found cause for the abandonment of their
expectations in the annual report OF the
stockholders.
In the body of the list there was evil
dence of free selling to take profits under
cover OF the various points OF strength. An
incipent advance developed after the APP
pearance of the bank statement but prices
subseq weakened to the lowest and
the closing was irregular and not far from
| the low level. The banks showed the re-
establishment OF surplus in reserves
amounting to nearly A,OO0,O0. The improve
ment in their condition was principally due
to the scaling down of their deposits which
resulted in a loan contraction of 81, 100 $40.
The cash increase of s., l2O,o0O proved about
as expected. Yesterdays payments of Jan
