BY n. n. MACK.

The cattle markets OF the country
were never before In u more uncer.
tain position. There Is absolutely
no stability In the demand. and
country operators have nothing In
the way Of dependable quotations
by which TO determine the scale OF
prices which they can safely pay
their farmer patrons. The country
has again adopted the old-fashioned
plan OF loading on bulges, and the
killing contingent have not been
slow to take the tip and let prices
slip up every time the supply lets
up little at the weekend. For
the last month. one glut after an
other has come TO hand until tho
buying side OF the market has got
the bargain counter" habit. Buffalo
had big bunch on Monday. and
the Chicago package equaled $4,000
head Prices were sharply lower
in both markets.
The demand for strictly high
class. heavy bullocks continues
strong because OF the coming holi-
day demand for prime heavy cuts.
Even this bright spot in the trade
will soon pass, for the sale OF
Christmas cattle cannot go on for
more than 10 days. and thereafter
the demand for heavy beef will be
decidedly limited. Thousands OF
short-fed cattle are making their
appearance in the market, and the
only grade that is showing feed
ers' decent profit over original cost
are the wcll-bred and well-finjshed
yenrlings
The demand for fat baby cattle
grows stronger. year BY year. The
trouble with the proposition. as a
money.makiug enterprise. lies In
the foct that the supply, in feeder
form. never nearly equals the de-
msnd.

TWO BOUTS FINISH
WITHOUT DECISIONS
Wrcstlcrs in Big Tourney Are
Evenly Matched and
Draws Result.
KEEPS ON WINNING

Nin bouts, two Of which lasted me
and were declared draws. kept n big
crowd interested last night ut the inter-
national wrestling tournament IN prog
ress at the Manhattan Opera House. In
addition TO the two long draw out az
fairs. one bout was decided in just ifty
seconds, 30 that there was variety as
we'll as quantity to make the evening
an enjoyable one for the spectators.
Fritz Mohl Of Switzerland and Kari
Pospisil OF Bohemia were the wrestlers
engaged In the nrst twenty minute bout.
Although the wrestling was fast and
furious neither could gain an apprecfable
advantage over the other. and when time
was up both were anxious to continue.
The officials refused TO let them GO on.
however. much to their disappointment.
In the other long struggle Sulo Hevonpaa
or Finland and Joan Tigan OF Mongolia
were the participants. Tigan had n good
deal OF fun as well as wrestling in his
makeup and succeeded In ~arousing his
opponents ire before the bout a gone
far. 1t was a hard light all the way
W NJ ~ lnIt tue NFttlltTs lOTSOOk inc
ring and sprawled all over the press
tables.
Hans Fuerst OF Austria was the
hero OF the 50 second bout. as he
threw Engelbert Standejski of Koravia
In that length OF time with a side
chancery hold. Alexander Aberg con-
tinued his string of victories by beat
ing Hans Lehner. and Dr. Il. +. Roller
began his career in the tourney with
a victory over Charles Olsen. The
doctor threw his Swedish opponent in
10 minutes and 80 seconds with a head
lock.
The tourney will be continued TO-
night, and eleven bouts are on the pro-
m In addition to the regular
bouts Tomorrow evening there will be
n special match between George Both
ner and Nicolo Montagano. an Italian
wrestler who thinks he can take the
measure OF the famous American, VIII.
has been acting as referee at the tour
ney.
