KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET.
Live Stock Prices Are Lower but De
 clines Are Moderate.

Live Stock HrIceS Are LOWcF put Do-
 clines Are Moderate.
 Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 16.-- Fairly liberal receipts here in con- nection with heavy runs and sharp declines elsewhere depressed prices on the local market. Cattle were steady to 25 cents lower, hogs off 15 to 25 cents and sheep and lambs down 25 cents. As soon as the declines were established trade became active. Stock and feeding cattle were in ac- tive demand at strong prices. The country is now in need of cattle to use up cheap corn.
 Today's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 14,00O cattle, 13,0OO hogs, 1000 sheep, compared with 11,000 cattle, 5000 hogs and 5000 sheep a week ago, and ll,S75 cattle, 13,075 hogs, and 7560 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle.
 A few handy and strong weight steers at $650 to $6.75, that were wanted on early orders were consid- cred nearly steady, but most bids were 15 to 25 cents lower, and buyers got most of the steers at that decline. Quality in the average remained plain. A few punches of steers brought SIPS to $7.50, but most sales were at $500 to $7.00. Cows and heifers were steady to 15 cents lower. Veal calves were down 25 to 50 cents.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Good to choice stockers and feeders were in active demand at strong prices. The palmer grades were steady. A large number of orders were held that could not be filled ow- ing to price limitations. Stock calves and good stock cows and milch cows are in moderate supply.
 Hogs.
 Hog prices declined 15 to 25 cents and at the decline offerings were cleaned up in short order The top price was $750, and bulk of sales $7.20 to $740. Pigs sold up to $7.75 Chicago reported 75,000 with prices down 25 to 40 cents and St. Louis 20,- 900 with the market off 35 to 50 cents. Receipts here continued short of year ago.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 The sheep market was colse to 2s cents lower, the first break that has occurred in the market thus far this year. Fat lambs sold mostly al $11.50 to $12.10, ewes $6 to $6.50, anC yearling wethers $10.25. Only a few odd punches of feeding lambs wer, offered.
 ] Horses and Mules.
 Trade in horses and mules hal shown a decided improvement. In tn, past two weeks mules advanced $1.0l a head, and hogs $500. Demand il more general than in more than ; year past.

Paris. June 25.
Undoubtedly the outstanding feature
OF the French Bourse was the interest in
the proposed consolidation of the Banque
Franchise pour Commerce ct Industrie
and the Banque Rationale de Credit,
which is expected to materialize early
next month, having already received ap-
proval in a general meeting. Apart from
the fact that the two banks have been
operating with the same administrative
officers their clientele is mutual and 1t
is thought that the merger will prove to
other banks similarly allied the neces-
sity for cutting down the number OF
French institutions.
For some time there has been a
definite trend in financial opinion against
permitting such an increase In the num-
ber OF banks as has been manifest In
the last two years, and II has been

CAPEL COURT QUIET
AND PRICES LOWER
Effect of Bank Rate Reduc-
ton Modified by Half
Yearly Settlements.

Special Gable to THE New YoRK HERALD.
Copv,toht, 1879, by TIE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
London, June 25.
Business in Capel Court last week was
quiet, with its tone irregular. The ef'
feet of the reduction in the bank rate
was modified for the time being by the
prospect of the usual squeeze in the
money market to turn the half year.
but the announcement Of the reduction
in the rediscount rate by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York strengthens
the hopes of those who look for fur
ts,er reduction In the Bark of England
rate in the near future.
In the meantime the weight OF the
professional bull account in consols and
home rails. added TO the effect of the
large proportion of the Indian loan that
underwriters had to take up. gave the
Stock Exchange a thoughtful and rather
depressed appearance.
Whether further reductions in money
rates will bring out much more of
demand for securities is a question that
is exercising financial circles. The only
section showing strength last week was
gilt edged paper and kaffirs. In the
former some fairly substantial rises
occurred. but even those were checked
AZ the end by the assassination OF Field
Marshal Sir Henry Wilson. In kaffirs
vitality was galvanized mainly by sub
stantial rise in the price OF gold. which
though not fully sustained. none the less
greatly restored confidence in tho pros
pcct of the premium remaining upon
metal for an indefinite period. AL
though the effect OF the bank rate reduc-
tion has not yet been very pronounced.
IL is hoped that with the turn OF the
half year money will come forward for
investment more freely.
The prospect for further reduction to
3 per cent appears quite good. De-
mands for trade purposes are not great
and capital is not earning its keep when
left on deposit. II seems inevitable,
therefore. that quotations on gilt edge
securities must continue the trend up
ward. though some check may be ad-
ministered 4 rumors as to an impending
local loan prove to be founded upon
fact.

Unempsoyment Decreasing.

There are fewer unemployed in Ger
many than in other countries. the num-
ber this year being SO per cent. less
than last year. Those still out of en-
ployment are receiving State aid. Trade
unions with a membership of 100000
report unemployment of less than ! per
cent
This remarkable situation is due to
the revival of building and general con-
struction in Germany. Factories and
especially banks are expanding every
where. Only dwellings offer bad in
vestment. The Government subsidies
public works enterprises, using a large
number of workers, and there is law
obliging employers to reduce the hours
of all workers when work Is slack. in
stead of discharging some of them. This
extensive activity in Germany is due
rot so much to industrial prosperity as
to a general effort to invest money
where 1t will be safe from heavy depreci-
alton.
Germany's passive trade balance
shows a rising mark total, but hgured
in dollars 1t was considerably less in
April and May than II was last fall. In
October il was S2S,000. 900. while in
April of this year 1t was only S1S.000.-

Mark FIuctuation Less.

-. The fluctation in the mark was less
extensive than usual last week, due to
the fact that everybody postponed busi-
ness undertakings until the depression
resulting from the failure Of the pro-
posed international loan hit the Ex-
change. A further slump in the mark is
expected generally There were slight
rays OF hope when Il was rumored that
German property in the United States Is
TO be returned and when Il was hoped
that a small loan would result from the
Poincare-Lloyd George conversations.
Since June Is the dollar has fluctuated
between 316 and 337. with tendency
toward further depreciation.
During the first three days OF last
week there was practically no buying or
selling The impending compulsory
loan dampened adventurous spirits and
commerce and industry abstained from
speculation. AS result there was a
money shortage. and coal and iron Sc
curities weakened especially the Katto-
-witz and Laura Huette concerns which
properties passed to Poland. Bank AMI
