SHEEP-It looks as II the whole weeks
run came In Monday, as very little stun
arrived since that day, the receipts having
been light yesterday and still lighter today.
In fact, there were hardly enough sheep or
lambs on sale today to really make a test
Of the market.
1t was very apparent however that the
demand for desirable killers was good, as
packers were out early looking for supplies.
As result everything desirable changed
hands In good season at prices that looked
q little stronger than yesterday. Thus two
double-decks Of good Colorado lambs sold
straight 70 a packer at $500. Good heavy
lambs sold as high as T65 Good ewes
brought $3.50. These and all the other
sales of desirable killers looked strong, ~
say the least

CATTLB-There was another very fair
run OF cattle this morning, 200 cars being
reported in. OF this number there was
quite a sprinkling ot feeders.
The market on fat steers opened little
bit slow, but when II warmed up there
was some show Of strength in spots at
the market anywhere from steady to little
stronger, according as they happened to
have something that buyers really wanted.
manded steady prices, the market not
showing any great change In any direction
The most of the offerings changed hands
in fair season in the morning.
Considerable Interest conferred around the
trade in feeders. The receipts of that kind
Of cattle were quite liberal. Being in
bunch OF hay fed Montanas. These cattle
sold to the feeder buyers very readily,
some Of them going as high as $40 In
other words, the feeder market was active
and strong.

 There has recently been a change i'll the attitude toward information seek CTS at 26 Broadway. Time was when a reporter sent to obtain news at the Standard Oil Building went there feel ing that he was about as certain of getting reply to his questions as he would have been had he asked them of the Sphinx.
 But now an inquiriing visitor at the Standard Oil Building is almost well comed and particularly if he seeks in- formation about Mr. Rockefeller he is more likely to get an answer than if his query concerned the business of eth company.
 Indeed, facts about Mr. Rockefeller have been distributed literally in the last few months, MT. Gates has been willing to answer almost any question about MT. Rockefeller that might be asked. That MT. Rockefeller isn't the Standard Oil Company; that he retired many years ago; that he has no part 1 whatever in the conduct of the com pany and has not had for a long long time; that he has not been in the biuld- l ing at 26 Broadway for 10 years; Chat he desires to live quietly, enjoying the simple pleasures of which he is so fond. and at the same time do the most good to the greatest number of persons that l judicious expenditure of his money will allow-all these statements have come from 26 Broadway, Now comes the information, repeated from his own 1 lips, as to the size of his fortune and of his income. All this means accord ing to friends of MT. Rockefeller, that he believes he has been misunderstood long enough and wishes in his lifetime to correct the public estimate of him. New York Times.

Ew HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL AND COURIER THURSDAY FEBRUARY
YEsrERDAY,s STOCK MARKET.
Upset by Extensive SeIling--some Buy-
 ing at Close.

New York, Feb. 27.-The stock mar ket was upset to-day by selling of the same extensive and varied character as that which broke prices on Monday to new low levels for the year. Yester- days rally had given the impression that Mondays selling was largely for professional short account. To-days selling had much the appearance of liquidation, and the market was in the same unsupported condition as on Mon day-a fact which accounted largely for the material inroads on prices on comparatively light selling. It was generally held that the developments at the interstate commerce commission inquiry were responsible for the tone of the speculation. The recognized aim of the investigation is to demonstrate the desirability or necessity of more stringent control over railroad compa- nies by the government especially in the matter of issues of capital and pur- chase of stocks in other properties, on account of the bearing on the freight rates charged which these matters have, It is believed that, so far as the impression on the public mind is con- cerned, the inquiry will have the effect of strengthening the contention of the government substantially and of fur thering the efforts to secure appropri- ate legislation to secure those aims.
 Some disturbance was caused to sen timent by supplementary rumors of in tended revolt on the part of stockhold- CTS of some of the great railroads in a movement parallel to tdat in the insur- ance companies following the insurance Investigation, Additional legal re- straints upon the fiduciary activities of railroad directors and executive off cials were the suggested methods of procedure
