International show wei elk proved g
very satisfactory one in the cattle
trade, sales at the close showing Toe
advance over values current the week
before. Under marketing Of $4,000,
big dem and developed from all sources,
and trade in the early days ranged
10000 higher, altho toward the close
withdrawal of strong support from ex-
porters weakened the market and sell
ers were forced to cede back part
Of the advance. -..
Quality has shown a marked falling
off, giving evidence that all strictly
prime beeves have been marketed to
fill the Christmas demand. Best steers
on the open market brought $685.,
against $685. last week, while the
grand championship carload Of Angus
at auction at 1896 and Blackjack, -
grand champion single animal, sold
to the United Dressed Beef company
of New York at I$25 per cwt. Other
show steers brought $6@S.45, and a
$6.71.
Best hogs reached $500 this week,
being the highest in two months. The
average price for the week was SIS,
the highest average since the closing
week of October and zoe above the
low week of the season, which was
four weeks ago.
eCountrymen acted wisely in keeping
receipts down to light proportions this
! week, as consumptive demand, as usual
just previous to holidays, turned from
mutton chops to poultry. Weakness
pervaded the trade at the start and
sharp declines were made, but under
exceptionally small supplies on late
DAYS, part of the loss was repaired
Values are still l0c to l5c under the
range Of one week ago.

than at some markets and fully equal
to those ruling anywhere, it seems that
more stuff should be coming this way.
With the exception of one SC setback,
the first days Of the week saw an adj
vancing market. On the opening day
prices were steady with last week s
close, and then there was an advance Of
5@10c. A reaction followed on the sue
ceeding day, but the loss was regained
on Friday, when there was a gain of
a big nickel over Thursdays close. The
quality of the offerings had been fair to
good, the average Of the preceding
There was very little common stuff
here, however, the bulk being mostly
medium to good.
Receipts OF sheep were comparatively
light this week, and the market ruled
rather quiet, as contrasted with recent
busy sessions. Quality of offerings has
been fairly good, with a small showing
Of choice stuff. Prices were generally
steady to l0c lower on the medium stuff
Choice sheep moved at about steady
prices with last weeks showing. Sup.
ply has consisted of ewes almost en-
tirely, the best selling up to 1926.
Lambs. have been easy and prices
ruled 25@50c lower than last week
Buyers were well filed up. Best lambs
sold up to 81, tho top was practically
1913. There was a very slim showing
Of choice lambs. - i ~ ..--..- ..
Transactions in feeding sheep were
very limited. Traders report some in
quiry for choice feeding lambs and
sheep, but the common to fair stuff is
not meeting much demand. Good breed
ing ewes are also in demand. Prices
are about the same as week ago.

STOCK EXCHANGE SEATS

The price Of stock exchange seats is
as good an index, as any, Of speculative
activity. It is not surprising, there
fore, that a seat has just been sold for
$4,000. AS a matter of fact, unless
there should be a prolonged period of
depression in the stock market, Of which
there are no signs, it is not improbable
that in the course of time stock ex-
change seats will be quoted at 100000.
In this connection, the Wall street
Journal says, it should be noted that
there has been no increase in the
membership Of The stock exchange in
twenty-five years. The limit Of mem
bership remains now the same as it was
fixed then, while the volume of bust
ness has expanded enormously. There.
fore, while the supply Of brokers avail
able to transact business has not grown
there has been notable increase in the
demand for their services.
The Chicago Telephone company has
notified the city that in return for a
franchise it will cut rates. The amount
Of the cut is rot mentioned.
