These conferences between lead

are expected to last 10 days or two
weeks. Increasing demand for pre-
paredness, because of the Mexican
situation. also indicated that the
authorized strength Of the army
would probably be raised over the
$4,000 figure fixed in the house bill.
The house today in preliminary
debate promised TO be confined di.

M Common Cattle Are Very Active,
8f166 Trade LIGHTER: Wool Market Dull

I high enough Tor the present Strictly
handy weights. running from 40 u
IS pounds, are selling 30 cents pei
cwt. higher than hesyies and coarse
fiabby fellows Of the northern type
are bad sellers. except at strons
discount. Clipped lambs are hard
to sell and will continue 90 untii
much warmer weather prevails.
Wool looks good to the packer. and
he IL doing his best TO make the
dealer and grower realize his pref
erences.
The wool marke:, taken In its en-
tirsty, must be regarded az much
less active than At the beginning OF
the month. and buyers in the CON
tract department are laying on.
American manufacturers seem TO be
greatly In need Of medium woods
for immediate use. but il Is impossi-
BILE to interest them In futures. For
eign wool markets are dull and a
tribe lower In price than At this
time last week. Mature sheep are
scarce and constantly working high
er. Light yearlings are selling high
err than heavy lambs. Colorado fed
ewes were sold In Chicago recently
for $3.50 per cwt.. the top SO far
for the season.
When fat hogs passed the $40 peg
recently. consumers Of fresh pork
and It's products decided to call a
halt. and values have receded slight

It's bloom and acted rather dull.
There IL good reason TO believe that
the trade is letting 20 to get q new
hold and no one connected with the
business would be surprised al much
higher prices before long.
The recent advance In the specu-
lative provision market seems to
have about run its course, and reac-
ton is the order OF the hour. Com
modify values look high enough for
the present As rule. when prices
average high. proft-takers kill the
game every time an advance takes
place One OF the wonders OF mar

that . $40 market for prime stock
