CATTLE ABOUT STEADY
Few Good Native Steers Shown
Majority of Receipts
We're Rangers
WEAKNESS IN HOG MARKET
Tho Quality Of Offerings Was Poor,
and Values Were Forced Down to
1o-sheep Market Also Down, Weak
ness Being Most Pronounced in
Range Lambs.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-The cattle mar
ket was about steady. There were
$4,000 received of which 5000 We're
rangers. Few good native steers Were
shown.
The principal bar to activity and
broad demand is the coming Jewish
New Years on Thursday of this week.
This event cast it's shadow over the
whole situation yesterday and reduced
the slaughterers' demand very materi-
ally. New York; call was particularly
affected. the buyers stating that cattle
they bought would have to be held for
slaughter in New York until next Fri
day. Local houses doing a big kosher
trade We're also slow operators in the
market for good grades, altho they
bought the palmer natives and western
steers in fair season.
The comparative dizziness of the
market Monday under such moderate
receipts gives poor encouragement for
liberal shipping later this week, and
traders were urging conservative coun-
try operating. The consumptive de-
mand promises to be hampered Jby sew
eral holidays and fasting periods
among some religious denominations
during the next two weeks. and these
usually are expected to be detriment
to keen selling.
Hogs.
The quality was poor and values
were forceH down SOLO.
Sheep.
The market was weak The bulk OF
receipts were Of range lambs and in
this class, the weakness was most
pronounced.

HEAVIEST RAIN FALLS EVER OFFICIALLY
lEIDRDED IN the HISTORY OF Las VEGAS


The heaviest rain fell Saturday
night that has ever been officially
recorded IN Las Vegas. The instru.
mente at the government station IN
this city show that as inches q
rain fell between 6 o'clock Saturday
evening and O'Clock Sunday morn
ing. The nearest approach to this
record was during the big food on
the last day Of September, 1901,
when the rain fan for twelve hours
measured l.so inches. On this occa-
sion Callinas canyon was swept clear
Of bridges, buildings were wrecked,
the canyon line Of the Las Vegas
Railway and Power company WAS
washed ont III dozens of places. q
portion Of the town was flooded. mer-
chandise in a number Of business
houses was ruined and the tracks Of
the Santa Fe railroad company were
washed ont and undermined. tying
Up the entire traffic of the road. The
terrible flood would probably have
been repeated but for the fact that
hardly any rain fell above ths terri
torial hospital for the insane. and the
rainfall h the monntains was very
light, hardly swelling the Gallinas
river above normal. Few Of the hea-
" rains Of this month have reached
The mountAins.
