Cattle, Lambs Show
Little Change.

The largest decline in porker
prices for more than a month was
registered in early trading at the
local stockyards today when the ma
jority of all classes we're around Is
to 25 cents lower than Saturdays
close.
Today's sharp decrease was at
tributed mostly to a weak demand
for pork at butcher shops and
substantial increase in receipts fol-
lowing the holiday. Receipts we're
estimated at 5000, and holdovers
numbered 1922.
The bulk. $50 to 325 pounds, was
selling at SIPS to s755, while light

pounds. sold at IS to Sc. Good pack
ing sows, ranging from 275 to $50
pounds, we're salable at $3.50 to
SETS.
Heavy receipts flooded the cattle
market, with prices, however, show
ing only a little change from Sat-
urday's average. Receipts numbered
10000, including 1000 government
cattle. Approximately half of the
commercial supply consisted of
stocker and .eeder yearling steers.
Finished beef steers made a good
showing with most grades Salable
from $3.50 to $40. Some choice
kinds held higher. Early sales of
feeder calves and yearlings held at
81 to $3.50.
Despite heavy run of receipts,
unexpected strength was displayed
in veal trading. Initial prices gen.
orally were so cents higher than
Saturday. Bulk ranged from $3.50
down. Receipts were 1850, includ-
ing $50 government calves.
Lamb prices continued unchanged,
with eve and wether grades Salable
at $3.50 to ST. Bucks were 81 less.
Throwouts ranged from 81 to $3.50.
Slaughter sheep sold mostly at $3.50
down. Receipts numbered 1000
Asking was firm on hogs at Chi
cago with early bidding slightly
lower. Receipts were estimated at

rainfall must be received If another
short crop is to be prevented next

Moisture received during July, Au-

aggravated a situation which has

FUTURE OF U. S.
BUSINESS GOOD
J. H. Jones, RFC Chairman,
Expresses Confidence
in Recovery.
BIZ Unitcd Press

81 CNitcd Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Chair-
man Jesse H. Jones of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, the
nations biggest money lender, today
expressed confidence that the nation
is slowly beating its way back to
normal.
The jovial, ruddy- faced chairman,
whose organization has $1,000, 900 900
to pump into the country'S banking,
railroad and industrial channels,
stated that the future is good"
Strengthening of the nations
banking system, through federal aid,
Jones believes has been the most
important factor in determining re-
covery.
The banking situation is good.
In that lies the pillar of all econom-
ic security. Banks, everywhere, can
and wish to loan money to stimulate
business" he said.
He revealed that the RIGS pur-
chasing of preferred stock, capital
notes and debentures in closed banks
is nearing an end.
1--WE have purchased about
81 ,180 100000 already. With an ad-
ditional $100OOO,0OO we expect to
clean it up by Jan. 1, 1885," he said.
Previous indications were that
about 100000, 900 more would be
spent and the purchasing continued
until next July.
At the same time, he said the
$580,000,000 authorized by the last
congress for direct loans to industry
was mot being disbursed as rapidly
as expected"
The federal reserve board and the
RFC, which were authorized to make
loans, have approved only about
$18,000,000 thus far. Stiff require
ments for loans and the inability of
applicants to furnish sufficient COL
lateral are cutting down the figure.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Cash diyi-
dend payments by the companies Of
the Standard Oil group for the first
nine months of 1884 are estimated
at SOL ,537 1877, compared with $685.

approximately II per cent, accotd-t
ing to figures compiled by Carl H.

Aggregate disbursements of the
group in the third quarter of 1884
will total 8,582,O65, which, al
though the smallest quarterly total
for some time, does not indicate adx>
verse dividend actions, but merely
reflects the change in dividend poll
icy by several of the large COM
panies, whereby distributions are
being made semi-annually in the
