sheep trade we're sim more or less bullish
this morning and prices ruled strong TO q
dime higher from the opening. About
twenty-five loads were expected, but only
ten arrived In time TO be sold during early
rounds. A good. brisk demand for any
thing at all suitable for Killing purposes
resulted In a quick clearance at the i'm

apparen on both sheep and lambs. one

enough to realize $3.50. Ewes sold at 1918

ings Of stock suitable for finishing, there
has been very lille activity In this branch
Of the trade lately. Many orders are stlll
on file I'm the offices OF commission firms,
however, and what few strings have been
taken back into the country recently have
commanded very satisfactory figures. A
good-sized band OF western lambs sold for
$40 TO a feeder yesterday, which Is the
highest price paid for STOCK Of this kind
In many weeks at this point.
The wisdom Of cutting down the supply
of live mutton this week In order to allow
the market to recover from its recent
panicky condition has been amply proven
during the last three days. Total receipts
for the four days number 1900 head, as
compared with over 1900 for the same
days last week and over 900 head for the
corresponding period last year. Prices
have steadily advanced each day and cur
notches as they were before the agitation
regarding meat prices. The net advance
on all classes Of Killers for the week is
Jest about $4,000.

NEW YORK, Feb. ~S-Aggregate dealings
for the day Of l,6I2,OO shares and inroads
on prices Of l to points for practically
liquidation In the stock market sufficiently
drastic and embracing to call for some
Other explanation than temporary vagaries
of speculative sentiment or merely technl-
cal conditions in the stock market itself
The extent to which the previous decline
had already run, its duration and the
technical results involved, are some of the
points which entitle spectators to view
the days events as promising a reversal.
That all Is not well with the body-econ-
omic or with finance and industry as was
assumed when prices of stocks were 10 to
40 points higher than were touched on the
declines today is borne in upon the mind
with conviction.
The opinion that overlays practically all
others was that commercial recession and
industrial reaction are to be read in the
action of the securities market. This opin-
ion has been gathering adherents for sew
eral weeks past. It began with evidence
Of a lull In the freight movement over
the railroads, with some renewed accum-
ulatlon Of a surplus Of freight cars and
gained force with reports of the falling off
Of hat basic commodity.
Another factor was the authority given
to views publicly stated by qualified legal
tesuony supposed to represent the views of
large organizations of capital of the harm
to follow from the proposed enforcement
of the Sherman antitrust law. The word
panic" found frequent repetition in these
various pictures Of the future, and the ef-
feet was decidedly disturbing to the nerves
Of the stock market element. There was
the fear that with the arrest Of the upward
course Of prices of commodities there would
necessarily follow a process of ~deflation,
which would arrest the course of prosper
GUS activities all through the channels OF
commerce,
This weeks failure of an important firm
of dealers in bonds was the text, also, for
unfavorable views. There grew up a sup
position that the cleaning up Of credits
now In progress might originate as far back
as the panic Of 1907.
The market had an effective rally of / to
3 points in the final hour and the closing
tone was strong and we'll sustained at the
recovery, but the inviting profits on the
days decline offered to the bears, obviously
supplied much Of the inducement for buy
Ing.

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were mod
crate today, but trains were all late so that
the forenoon was very well advanced before
there were enough cattle In sight to make a
market Buyers, as a rule, did not go out
into the yards until after 10 o'clock, and 1t
was well along toward midday before the
days business was really underway. This
means that the market. as a whole, was
slow and dull. Buyers did not appear to
be as anxious for cattle as yesterday, and
the strength and activity which made yes
terday's market notable was absent today.
Beef steers were slow sellers al, the
morning with prices anywhere. from, weak
to at least 10c lower, In some cases sales
than 10c lower. Cows and heifers sold
about the same way as beef steers, the
trade being dull and prices weak to as
much as 10c lower. At midday there were
still some cattle unsold, but this was due
in part to the fact that trains were so late
in arriving at the yards.
There were only q very few stockers and
feeders in sight, in fact hardly enough to
make a market. What few cattle there
were generally sold in about the same
notches as yesterday.

OMAHA, Feb. 3. 1910.
The decline in our domestic markets was
followed by lower cables and this still fur
ther depressed the local wheat market
The most bearish news came from Mime
apolls and the northwest, where receipts
continue very heavy and cash wheat values
are easier.
The corn market is stubborn and prices
are holding fairly firm. Bullshness Is gen
raj throughout the western corn belt.
nNheat was very weak and broke Sharply
n the heavy selling orders which came
On the market when cables were reported
weak. Heavy receipts In the norlhWest
caused further weakness in the cash mar
ket, values easing off ne.
Corn was easier, due TO the weakness IN
wheat, but the market acted rather inde-
pendent and refused to decline. The cash
market was lower and large offerings were
bought from NC to lie lower than yester-
day.
Urinary wheat receipts were 1900 bush
els and shipments were 3l6.O0O bushels,
against receipts last year OF $4,000 bushels
and shipments Of PAS, 900 bushels.
Primary corn receipts were 'Sl,OOO busheis
and shipments We're 491. 900 bushels, against

LOCKERS AND FEEDERS.

HOGS-Price prospects were lower all
along the line this morning and the out
look for sellers was anything but encOur-
aging. About I25 loads were expected and
both packers and shippers started out bid
ding 6ql0c lower at the opening. Very lit
tie business was done at the lower offers,
however, and with the yarding Of addi-
tional receipts, considerable Improvement
was apparent both in point OF prices and
activity of demand. In short, about sixty
loads of hogs had been weighed up at II
o'clock at figures that We're just about
weak to SC lower than yesterdays average
market. A few selected droves realized
about steady prices, but the market as a
whole exhibited more or less weakness.
A considerable portion Of the supply sold
from $3.50 to $S.4O. as compared with yes
terday's bulk OF SS.3OqS.45. Tops reached
$3.50, as compared with the same top of
) esterday ana SSl5 of a week ago.
Later on IL became apparent tnat pack
ers wanted the hogs worse than they pre-
tended early in the day 50 that the trade
became active with prices firming up until
they were fully as good as yesterday.
