THE MARKET LETTER.
Receipts Today Were 24e Cars in All
-2,971 Cattle, 1892 Hogs, g..
1877 Sheep and 574 Horses.

This week opens out with a very
moderate run, only IL loads being re-
ported in. Dealers were somewhat
disappointed at the size of the re-
ceipts and looked forward to better
prices, but with $4,000 cattle in Chi
cago and rather bearish advices from
there, as we'll as other points, buyers
acted as if they. were not in very ur-
gent need of supplies and their bids
were generally lower than the close Of
last week. Some of the more desir-
abb light and handy weight beeves
sold about as we'll toward the close of
last week, but for the big bulk of the
offerings it was a weak to 1Oc lower
market and business was decidedly
dull at the decline. -,
Good to choice beeves, $685. to els;
fair to good beeves, $500 to 5.S5;
common to fair beeves, $500 to $50.
The market for COWS and heifers
presented no new features and for the
most part prices ruled about steady
with the close of last week. Both To-
cal packers and outside butchers took
on the desirable corn fed offerings at
full recent quotations, while there was
the usual disposition to force the
grassy and habitat stuff to lower lev
els, making slow and weak market
for anything of this kind. Veal calves
were quotably about steady at last
weeks decline while bulls, stays, etc.
were hard to move at still lower ig.
u~es than the close of last week.
Good to choice heifers. $500 to
$3.50; good to choice cows. $3.50 to
500; fair to good grades. $500 to
4.5O; Gamers and cutters, $500 to
3.75; veal calves, $500 to 1925; bulls,
stays, etc., 1925 to 400.
Yard traders were compelled to car.
ry over quite a good many cattle
from last week but fresh receipts
were comparatively limited and on
account of the good soaking rains
that the country received the latter
part Of last week there was little
more life to the demand from all
sources Prices showed little, if any,
change and while the desirable light
and medium weight grades were read
lily moved, it was difficult to interest
either spectators or country buyers
in the common grades and they we're
slow and unsatisfactory sellers all the
way through.
In all there were about SO cars Of
hogs received this morning, which is
about normal for Monday. Packers
started out bidding prices that were
considerable lower than last weeks
close and some of the first sales were
weak. Sellers, however, held on ana
buyers finally raised their bids, the
market becoming fully steady and
closing stronger. The bulk of all the
hogs went at $5.S5 to sos, with the
/ best light weights selling on up as
high as $6.05.

visit from his father this week.

Sausages went by the board in favor of
signal work. All the regular players
went to bat against Sherry. BusSey,
Johnson, and Walker, running bases,
and using signals just as In regular
game. After kwo hours work the
players ran to- the clubhouse for a
shower and a rub down.
Hard to Warm Up.
Most of them wore two heavy shirts,
and even then had hard work getting
warmed up in the chilling blasts that
swept across the diamond It was the
first really cold day they had struck
since coming here. Scout Mike Kahoe
leaves here next Wednesday, having
seen enough OF the young players to be
able to give a complete and accurate
report on their abilities. He has con-
ferred with Manager McAleer regard
ing the rockies and largely on what
Kahoe says hangs the fate of the
youngsters getting their tryouts.
One young outfielder is expected to be
let out to Otto Jordan's Atlanta team,
but the choice will not be made until
next week.
The wedding out process will begin
next week. Mike KahOe will visit
number of clubs in need of players,
and as fast as he finds a place for the
excess players they will be given their
tickets and sent along. Several of
them have done good work down here
and strings will be attached to them.
Manager McAleer will return to
Washington with twepty-one or twenty
two players, which means that at least
five will be dropped from the squad
now in training.

reasonable one.
Athletes make good.

In this day and generation, when the
hue and cry is heard that college ath-

too little to their class work. the follow
ing from the Princeton Alumni Weekly,
which has been sent to me by Wash

teresting statistics with regard to the

Princeton students now entitled to wear

in third, six in fourth, and two in fifth.
OF the baseball men, one is in second

There are twelve students entitled to

of this city, came up TO expectations,
and the victory of the Washington
man has caused his stock to go up per-
ceptibly for his coming match with Joe
Turner.
A half-nelson and hammer lock was
the cause of Kehoes downfall in the
first bout, after twenty-five minutes of
hard wrestling. In the second fall,
which came after twenty-one minutes,
a head chancery did the work. Mackey
was in a bad way several times during
the bout and only his clever defensive
work kept him from being pinned to the
mat.
The preliminary between Frank
Zeraga and Nick Ross resulted in a
draw after one hour of wrestling.

years back, and his rise in professional
baseball has been phenOmenally fast.
Even now the lad, rated as one of the
best catchers in the game, is just able
TO vote, and his memory of sand lot
games is very good. Ainsmith belongs
in Cafnbridgeport, Mass, just across
the Charles river from Boston, and IL
was there he made such a reputation
for himself that he was steered into
the Eastern League for ulai In the
spring of 1905, going TO Jersey City.

on his showing made here In practice
Mana ger McAleer has decided that the
lad will develop into one Of the best IN
1lelders and hitters in the game. Bunt-
ing has made the best showing OF all
the recruits taken South. He will be
used as substitute third baseman. ana
will play that bag whenever Elberfeld
is subbing at second or short.
Bunting is n six footer, weighs l69
pounds, and is as quick as a cat in the
Geld. He is suffering now from lame
shoulder, and is unable to peg to fiji st,
but in the three days before his shoul-
der stiffened. he displayed plenty OF
class. Though the ground is rough at
third this lad eats up all kinds of hits.
and is particularly good on line drives.
and high fouls anywhere between the
bag and the stand.
In yesterdays practice he went up In
the air. and speared a liner with his
gloved hand, and brought applause even
from the players. The thirdsacker has
hit for .S75 in the games between the
Nationals and the Sausages getting a
single, double, and triple.
Faculty for Hitting.
He has the faculty of making hits
with men on the bases, too, and it Is
this ability more than anything else
which has induced Manager McAleer to
take him North as substitute third
baseman.
Today 1t was a bit warmer at Ponce
de Leon Park, though some of the play
ers refused TO take chances with their
arms and shoulders. Swain has a stiff
neck and cannot look up or down. The

him for the Washington team.
