important sentimental effect on the gen

not explained by any news development,

The buying Of stocks was accompanied by

The movement OF corn Is extremely light
Country shippers are tied up by stormy
weather and impossible roads. Cash corn
is working higher steadily. .
Wheat ruled strong on further reports OF
severe damage in Argentine. Receipts at
all markets are very light owing to the
bad shipping weather throughout the coun-
try and all offerings are taken readily on
the advance.
Corn was firm and higher in sympathy
with wheat. and light receipts caused an
advance in the cash values. Buyers are
willing to pay up for the cash stuff as long
as the movement stays light.

Would Raise Price Of Convict Labor
PIERRE, S. d. Dec. a-(special.l-The
state Board of Corrections will4meet in
few days to III the price of binding twine
for next year. They will also at an early
date decide in regard to a]renswal OF their
contract for keeping the prison shirt
factory in operation. On this the contract.
which will soon expire, allows the state
but 80 cents a dozen for the shirts turned
out. Governor Vessey does not believe
that the contract price is high enough to
save the state on the matter Of OPP
Grafton. and is securing data With which
to back his position. Under the present
state laws, a portion OF the earnings Of
the %convicts are paid TO their families. and
With this out, and the expenses OF main<
tenance of the plant he thinks the stats
should receive a price, which win at least
bear all the expense Of operation. and the
contract should not be let at a figurS
which will be really a loss to the state in
the end, and he is making an effort to
change the terms before the contract Is
renewed.

CAITLE-The early estimates Of cattle
receipts were for over 800 cars, which
would be q large run. However, when the
market opened there was less than hair
that number in sight, and IT. was after
midday before all the trains had finally put
in an appearance. Thus 1t happened that
the trade wal prolonged through the
greater part OF the day.
Thu good demand for beef cattle noted
yesterday was still in evidence today, with
the result that the market was active az
good steady, prices, Desirable kinds
changed hands very freely, bringing about
the same prices as yesterday.
Cows and heifers were also In good de-
mand and the market on that kind of cattle
was just about steady with yesterday, there
being no material change in any direo-
ton.
The attendance Of feeder buyers from
the country continues very light and the
on that kind Is in consequence slow,
with a decidedly lower tendency.

.SHEEP-Quite a liberal sprinkling Of fat
range stock appeared In this mornings
run; total receipts, however, were normal
and a lively demand for anything at all
suitable for packers purposes, exhausted
supply about as fast as Il was received.
There was a good strong tone TO mutton
material with finish and most sales In this
branch OF the trade carried figures that
looked to be fully steady to a shade higher
than yesterday. Among the more notable
sales OF range stuff werS ewes az S.lO,
lambs at H.65 and y%earlings at $3.50.
The call for fat lambs Is becoming more
and more urgent with the approach OF the
holidays. Supply lately has at no time been
large enough TO satisfy demand and the
general quality Of the offerings as well
has been none too good. There were only
few strings OF really good lambs on
them greedny. Warm competition natur-
