The Demand Lacked Activity
and the Quality of Offer
ings Was Poor
GENERAL HOG MARKET LOWER
A Top Of 81 Was Paid for Prime Hogs
But Strength Did Not Last and the
Close Was Lower Than Yesterday
Market for Lambs Suffers a Heavy
Decline Today.

Chicago. July 2.-Cattle-Demand
ferngs was poor. and shippers had liz
tie chance to secure the kinds needed
for their purposes, SO that packers had
the market entirely to themselves. On
finished steers The maret was steady.
but the bulk of stuff was weak.
Bologna bulls are quoted loo lower
again. which nakes them 10 "a zoe
lower than a week ago. Ii takes the
best of them TO sell at SO now. Fat
bulls at s3.50m4.25 were steady and
rather firm.
Dealers in stockers and feeders would
be glad to see the wind change and
blow up some Improvement in the
market, tho they hardly anticipate such
IA thing this month. Farmers have
about all they can do to take care Of
their crops at this time OF the year.

the feeding cattle proposition. Only
a few buyers have been in sight lately
Hogs.
A top of 81 was paid for prime hogs.
and choice lots sold within range of
s6.90M695. but the strength did not
last, and the general market closed 5
cents lower than the average levels of
the previous day.
Seven-cent hogs We're put over yes
terday. The long deferred and much
prognosticated event was accepted in
market circles as mere matter of
logic. Light and butchers turned the
trick. and as It was not merely a
scalper's effort. shippers paying the
price an even money quotation may
be considered legitimate. several loads
making it. Quotably. the market was
dime higher. but on the high spot
even the latter part of the session it
was distinctly easy. the foam of the
early deal disappearing and the 7-cent-
ers would probably have fallen short
OF that mark.
Trade was at tive from the start.
Few were carried over and the fresh
supply was not formidable Shippers
wanted good hogs. and We're prepared
to so the route encouraging 1.-The boys
who got in with both feet. making
prices 5000 cents higher than Mon
day, and placing values Oh the high
level of the year. Choice heavy
reached s6.97h Packing grades, in
stead of widening the spread kept pace
with good hogs. Mixed goods with
quality that did not justify entry in a
hog show made $780, and Armour
paid S6.S5 for mixed with q, conspicu-
Gus packing end. The prime end of the
supply sold at s6.90@69712 A range
of $6.S0@690 took fair to good mixed
packing. and s6.7O@6.sO bought pack
ing grades. Below $3.50 the hay had to be
worse. Throw-out sows sold at 1925
1850. but they had to be smooth to
get into the half-dollar mark. Stays
were worth $606.25. Light and butch
er weights We're the goods buyers
wanted. Quality was fairly good. and
much better than the previous day,
lot of good heavy getting in.
Sheep.
Demand was tame, and lambs looked
much lower than yesterdays highest,
some sellers putting the decline at as
much as SO cents. The entire market
had dull and embarrassing tone.

WATTS FOR OPERATORS
Mitchell VIII Take No action NozU
Joint Conference Likely.

Only two of the officials of the United Mine
Workers who came with President Mitchell TO
New-YorIz were in the city yesterday. the others
having gone home with Mitchelfs consent
Mitchell said he would probably remain here
week or so longer, but would make no move In
the soft coal situation until he heard from the
anthracite operators. He said in reference TO
the bituminous situation:
All can say is that a national convention Of
the United Mine Workers has been called to
meet in Indianapolis on March 10 as the result
of the letter from President Roosevelt, and that
the bituminous operators have called CONFER
ence on March 10. That is all I know now
He had no ofSaI knowledge. he said, as TO
whether these conferences would be followed by
a Joint conference between the operators and
the soft coal miners. It is looked upon as a
foregone conclusion. however. that there will be
such conference but 1t was learned that the
small soft coal operators were opposed to any
increase OF wages Many of them went into
business during the anthracite strike OF 19O2
and made money for while on account of the
great demand for soft coal then, but were
brought to hard straits when the strike ended
and the demand became normal
