Echoes of the ball: There were seven

at the dance last night Most of the
frocl1s were white. blue had second choice

SHEEP-While receipts were not quite
as large as yesterday, still there was
very liberal run. Feeders apparently have
taken the hint as to holding back the IN
finished stun at this season of the year
and there was less fed stun in sight than
on a good many days OF late. The shortage
by big string Of range sheep and lambs
The general situation was the same as
noted yesterday The demand, as usual
just previous to the holidays, was limited
largely to the best grades, while all others
were neglected. There was however, a
very fair feeder demand, which helped cut
the general market very materially.
Packers seemed to be most In need of
lambs and another big string of the
Stanger Idaho lambs sold the same as yes
terdayi that Is, at 500 for the fat end and
at $3.50 for the feeder end. Some few pretty
decent sheep which buyers Just happened
TO want also sold at about steady prices
In fact, sellers as a rule were quoting the
market on both sheep and lambs as open
ing steady, but slow. On the other hand,
there was very weak feeling and buyers
themselves were admitting that they did
not need very much stun and that they did
not look for very active demand until
after the holidays.
In spite of the lateness OF the season
there Is stlll a very good demand for feed
ers as was evidenced by the fact that the
arrival Of few trains OF rangers brought
out liberal orders. The result was that the
feeder market was steady and the. trade
fairly active on such kinds as the buyers
wanted.

LONDON, Dec. 1s.-Money was in limited
supply in the market today and rates were
high. Discounts. with dearer rates for
money had a hardening tendency. The
outlook on the Stock exchange was quiet
and dealings were restricted. The increase
in the rate Of discount of the imperial
Bank Of Germany accumulated the prospect
OF tight money caused nervous holders 10
realize and induced the closing up of bill
accounts. Consols and other first-class Sc
curities yielded fractiOnally; home rails
dropped, in the absence of investment pur-
chases, and foreigners eased on continen-
tai selling, prompted by the political un-
rest. Americans started weak, but the
parity level was soon exceeded under the
strong support and at noon ruled firm, es-
pecially Baltimore Ohio and Denver &

CATTLE-Shippers are continuing to
flood the markets of the country with in
ferior grades OF cattle of all kinds both
steers and cows. Just why this thing &C.
ours nearly every December when the de-
mand for this kind Is poor, is one of the
questions difficult to answer. 1t seems,
however, that at just this season OF the
good to choice kinds of cattle, shippers are
taken with a sudden frenzy to unload all
their inferior and half fat stuff with the
result that prices break badly, In spite Of
all that has been said against sending in
unfinished cattle, they are still coming, and
there was another big run this morning.
The market opened very slow and dull.
they did not need many cattle, and what
they did want they wanted good. On the
other hand, II was the exception to find a
decent load Of cattle In the yards, the pens
being filled full of trash The forenoon

done and 1t was late In the day before any
thing like a clearance was effected.
happened to suit their orders they seemed
willing to pay about steady prices, but the
general tendency OF the market on any
thing but the good grades was lower,
The trade on cows and heifers also
opened slow and dull, with buyers stating
right at the outset that they must fill their
orders at lower prices than yesterday.
STILL some of the very best did not look
much lower, but the market as a whole
was slow and generally lower.
StoCkers and feeders were not particu-
larly active. There wac a fair demand for
the best grades and not much change In
prices of such, but the light. trashy feed
ers were very slow and II anything a little
lower than yesterday.
