SHEBP-Receipts looked quite liberal on
paper this morning, .thirty-six loads being
reported In. AS a matter of fact, however,
twenty-five cars out Of this number were
were only halted here for feed and rest
In addition to the fresh Geceipts there were
about eight cars of stale stun carried over
from yesterday OF the fresh supply very
little arrived until after the middle of the
forenoon, so that the market was very late
In getting started.
There Is not very much to be said re-
about the same condition as noted on pre-
vious days this week. In other words the
trade is very slow every day, with values
tending steadily downward. This morning
Chicago reported further weakness so that
1t was hardly to be expected that any
strength would be developed here; The
best. that could be said of the local trade
would be to call It about steady with yes
terday's weak close.
The market for the week is not very
much lower on the choicest lambs. but
shippers must understand that choice
means good deal more than II did two
weeks ago. Fair TO good western lambs
are considerably lower for the week. with
wethers and yearlings iod25c lower. The
medium kinds Of ewes, that is, those on the

Foreign Financial.

LONDON, March 16.-The stringency in
the money market was somewhat relieved
today by the maturity of treasury bills re-
leasing 100000. Discounts were firm.
Trading on the Stock exchange was mostly
quiet and dull. but recovered later on the
better political outlook. Consols started
easy, but rallied we'll at the close. Amer
leans opened fiat on New York selling,
moved irregularly, became inactive inn
proved during the last hour and closed
steady Foreigners were in better demand
after early dullness on Paris advices and
more favorable news from the conference
at Algeciras. Kafilrs sagged owing to lack
Of business, but there was no pressure to
sell and prices recovered later and closed
steady Japanese imperial 6s OF 1904 were
quoted at 104h. '--
PARIS, March 1e-Prices on the Bourse
today were firm on favorable reports from
Algeciras. The payment of the coupon 40
counts for the lower price of rentes. Rus
sian imperial 4s were quoted at &25 and
Russian bonds OF 1904 at b06.
BERLIN, March 16.-Trading on the
Bourse today opened indecisive. Speculation
was limited, but prices closed very firm.

The disposition OF the days receipts was
as follows each buyer purchasing the num-
Der of head indicated:


CATTLE-A total of Go cars OF cattle were
reported In the yards this morning This
market has become of such size that less
than 100 cars cuts very small figure in
the yards. What stun there was on sale
was so scattered that the yards seemed
almost deserted.
The market on beef steers was without
any noteworthy change. The compare
lively lew loads on sale did not appear to
interest buyers very much, so that the
trade was a little SLOW in opening. Still
there was a fair movement and the pens
were practically cleared in decent season.
AS to values there was no quotable change,
the general market being just about STEADY
all around.
The trade on cows and helfers was also
without noteworthy feature. The demand
was fair and the offerings for the most
part changed hands quite readily at about
tine same prices as prevailed yesterday
There we're no stockers or feeders In
sight, at least not enough to really make 4
test OF the market. AS usual at the end OF
the week few were wanted, 30 that the
general trade was practically featureless
Good feeders have commanded very salts
factory prices all the week and the general
market has been in good healthy con-
ditiOn.
