AND FEEDERS.

HOGS-Buyers gave the country a Christ
mas present this morning in the form OF a
very substantial advance In hog values.
1t will be recalled that the market last
v eek fluctuated quite widely, touching the
point Of the week on Wednesday.
After that IT recovered rapidly, closing the
week only a very little under the close Of
the previous week. This week started out
with a decline, recovered a little on Tues
day, and then on Wednesday came the
worst break experienced in a long time.
It looked as II no one wanted any more
hogs and the situation was about as dis
couraging for sellers as could wen be i'm
agined. Thursdays market was still lower,
prices dropping to the lowest point touched
in a long time,
This morning the whole tone Of the mar
ket was changed. The trade was a little
slow In getting started, but when 1t did
make a move the hogs sold in short order,
the forty-three loads in sight changing
hands in no time at all. The prices paid
were 1Oc higher than yesterdays general
market. A large proportion Of the offer
ings changed hands at SS.10Q315, with good
weighty hogs on up as high as S. %. II
compared with yesterdays lower close, the
would show a still create gain
than that noted above.
Today's advance wiped out all OF yes
terday's decline and part OF Wednesdays,
leaving the market not far from a0c lower
than the close of last week.

SHEEP-Only one car OF sheep was re-
ported In this morning and IL was con-
signed to a packer, so that there was
practically nothing on sale with which 10
try out the price list.
AS Is suaily the case during Christmas
week. the trade in live mutton during the
last few days has been slow and draggy,
with the tendency OF prices somewhat
lower The broad demand for poultry dur
ing the holidays narrOws the outlet con-
siderably for all kinds OF beef and mutton
products and packers are by no means dis
posed TO load Up with supplies al a time
when there is little demand. Aside from
the sluggish tone to trade, however, the
general market has presented no very new
features. Some OF the best kinds Of fat
sheep are right around steady as com
pared with the close OF last week; in fact,
several strings Of desirable killers changed
hands at good, strong prices at the open
ing. The common and medium grades OF
shOrtfeds have been selling very poorly OF
late and current quotations are right
around l0al5c lower than 4 week ago. Good

NEW YORK. Dec. 24-Today's was a

most wholly to the closing up OF con-
tracts. Borrowing on call today carried
over until Monday and the evidence of

conduced to the stiffening Of prices OF
stocks.
discounts eased in foreign markets. in
dlcaung the prospect of money relaxa-
ton after the turn of the year. Another
sharp relapse in foreign exchanges rates
pointed to the speculative nature II some
strength In that market and the over
supply Of exchange bills left on hand as a
consequence. Reading second preferred

from the price touched in the volatile rise
Of yesterday. The most conspicuous move
ment was in the Rock Island group, both

Lehigh Valley and Wabash still figured
as the chief influence I'm the movement. An
ADVANCE in the price Of copper metal in
London gave an upward impetus to stocks

The large shifting Of ,oans that has been

by the actual decrease Of 81. 500. 900 in that

an increase in the averages Of non-clear-

The actual statement failed to show the
expected gain in cash and reported a de-
crease.
The bank statement did not appear until
after the stock market closed and was not
appraised In the dealing there, unless the
reactionary movement late in the day was
due to some advance knowledge that the
showing would be rather less favorable

the tendency among other railway employees
all rave prepared requests for higher
