> t TUT * FROM SCHOOL TO WORKSHOP Opportunities for Graduates in the Profes sions and in Business , CHATS WITH REPRESENTATIVE MEN Ample riiinin nt Hie Top In Hie Olilrr PriifoNNlmiN ileetrlrlly : nnil Hnll- ronilliiK- u KlrM U * ci - tlnlN fur Surer * ! . With commencements over and diplomas ccured , a question of great Importance comes home to every ambitious graduate of colleco or High school. The battle with books Just ended Is but a skirmish In life's struggle. The four walls of a school buildIng - Ing surrounded a mere playground compared - pared with the hard knocks which the world liohls In reserve. A few may escape them , bul nine-tenths of the number arc sure to feel them. To all about to enter the arena of the world In search of success , the vital question , "What profession or business of fers the best opportunities for my abilities ? " A scries of Interviews by the New York Herald with men prominent In several call ings , throws some light on the question and will be of Interest to young men. Judge John F. Dillon had this lo say In reference lo the practice of law : "When my advice Itt asked by a young man or his parents whether ho should study law , 1 endeavor , In view ot the crowded state of the profession , to dissuade him from It , unless It Is seen thai ho has abilities that In a marked degree dcmonstralo that ho Is especially Illtcel for the law. "The successful practice of the law In modern limes requires very much more than a mere technical knowledge of the practi cal affairs ot the world. Moht cases do not present mere abstracl legal problems , bul concrelo problems what Is the best thing to do ? which Involves a knowledge of busi ness , of usages , and the practical affairs of life. If , however , you cannot dissuade him , the next question 1 ask Is , Is ho a man of strong physical vigor ? "Successful lawyers are hard-working nia- chalnes. and unless they have a good physi cal constitution they will fall of eminent success. No lawyer can succeed , or long nucccdl. unless In addition to the requisite Intellectual qualities lie ! has also the re quisite physical qualities. "Integrity In the broadest sense , as well ns In the most delicate sense ot the term. Is an Indispensable condition to success In the law. Intellectual qualifications , Illness and Integrity will not alone Insure success. The successful lawyer must also have Industrious habits. The successful lawyer Is the lawyer who works and tolls. Ho must have a genius for work. These are fundamental condi tions. Hut all these exist , and yet fall to bring any marked success , because success comes from a happy combination of physical und Intellectual qualities , Including will , power of decision , moral qualities , Integrity und caving common sense , so that the ad- vlco which the lawyer gives shall bo seen to be wise ; that Is , the advice he gives shall bo practically demonstrated to be wise , as Dliown in the results. The modern client wants good results. " IN THR MEDICAL PROFESSION. The profession of medicine appears to bo very much like that of the law , and the best opinion relegates the mediocre to a poorly paying , unenviable life. A representative physician , high In his profession , was In terviewed , who , In a few words , set forth the actual situation as It exists today. Dr. Edward G. Janeway was found In his olHcc , and the question as to the opportuni ties Iu the medical profession was asked him. him."I "I can best answer the question , said the doctor with a smile , "by saying that there IB plenty of room at the top. I can say to the young man who contemplates entering the medical profession that If he has the cdu- callon , with the qualifying temperament , and possesses u keen love for the science , begin. Apply yourself untiringly and success will come. The harder and higher you work the Greater the success There Is plenty of room , und able men of the highest grade are wanted In the profession. If you haven't the qualifications of education , temperament , love for the work and untiring energy , then stay out. " A visit among the dentists discovered the same vacancies on the upper floor , wl/lle / the tenants below are struggling and Ugh/Ing / for life. Lltlle encouragement was given for young men to enter the profession. "I cannot conscientiously advise a young man to take up the business of dentistry for a congenial and paying profession , " said Dr. A. S. Richmond. "The profession Is Bi'catly overcrowded , Ihe profits are cut bj competition and I belicvo the opportunities for success to be much less than In almost any other business. There arc so many In the business who are not qualified for It that they are doing a real Injury to all of the rest , and have brought about a condition of affairs that Is not In the least cncourag Inc. Inc."Then "Then the business Is unfortunate In other particulars. Ono Is the uncertainly of per sons keeping their cngagemenls , and thus losing much valuable time for the dentist. Hours that have been carefully provided fcr are often made Idle. "Aa to the pay , It Is small. Of course , a few dentists make largo sums ot money , but I doubt If the average Income of New York dentists Is more than $2,000 a year , and half of this has to be paid for ofllce rent and material. The business Is really not en couraglng and I don't feel I can give It a recommendation. " FIELD OF ELECTRICITY. Electricity hi a broad and Inviting field , Hero Is a chance of extended work , deep original research and largo possible profits. The science la young and Is suffering from the changeable and uncertain complaints of youth , but It Is most Inviting to the young man of brains and education , and promises nn ever widening range of operation that Is opening Iu the distance faster than It Is tilling In the foreground. Mr. A. A. McCrcary , who Is thoroughly posted on all matters electrical nnd whoso Information Is up to date and reaching Into the near future , was found In his odlco and asked what Invitation electrical engineering hold out to the young man. "It Is a great field , " ho answered , "and no mortal can tell just how large , for wo have only entered It , The chances In It are big , very big , and thousands of brainy men are entering It. There Is room for thorn all , and the promise for big pay la good , though now there are many drawbacks. The salaries are largo for good men and the chances for advancement are splendid for men with original minds , who are applying themselves , And there Is DO telling what great results will come at any tlmo out ot original re searches. "The domain of clectrlclly requires brains , technical knowledge of a high order and a logical , persistent mind that will bear the strain of close and persistent application. A young man with these requirements will find no diniculty In working to the top , So I say : 'Young men , come. on. Put In all of your knowledge , ability and cap ! tal , and you will find a business that prom tscs success equal to any. ' " Regarding politics as a profession , Mayor Strong of New York City said : "Should a young man go Into politics as R life's vocation and expect honor or profit ? ' My answer Is emphatically no ! There ls neither honor nor proilt In It for the lion est man , Politics should bo a matter of patriotism raul not a matter of business. " DUS1NESS OF MERCHANDISING , "There are as good opportunities for male Ing a success of merchandising today as over , " said Mr , Louis Stern , "Yes , I may lay there are better opportunities. True , there Is more competition , anil business Is done on closer lines than heretofore , uut , thru , the young men are better cilucutc.il and their t = ch < ; l training should bettor qualify them for meeting ami mastering the lU'inands of business , The young men from our colleges start with advantages that their fathers did not have , and they BlioulJ bo able to do better work , "I would eay to the young men , go Into merchandising and you may expect good re ward , You can get gooel salaries , aud you can get good profits from your own busi ness , Ilut remember you must woik. work , work. If you are not willing to do that dcu't go Into tbo dry gooila business. If you are willing and willing notwithstand ing your high education to begin at tbo bottom tom , bo Industrious ami give your best ri < - crglea and ample time to your business you will succeed , " . To learn of the opportunities offered by the clothing nnd men's furnishing to young men. the reporter called on Smith , OrnjCo. . at their Ilroadway store and wax received by Mr. C , H , Uelnvorgnc , the man ager. "I muxt Buy frankly , " began Mr , Dcla- vcrgnc , "that this business docs not offer any grcal encouragement to a man about to eintnrk In business , particularly It ho Is re stricted to what was considered a fair capi tal a few years ago , say $10,000 or $50,000. Such a man , In the larger cities , dimply has no chance for success. The business Is payIng - Ing the big houses , and a man who starts with them , applies himself and Is able to work Into a similar business lias the saino chances as In other mercantile pursuits. The salaries arc resonablc and the chances for ultimate success and fair profits good. "Hut the Idea of starting In the clothing business In a small way with hope for suc cess , even with the highest business ability and closest application , Is all wrong. The growing tendency ot the centralization of capital defeats all such small ventures. "Through the keenest competition the margin for profits has narrowed. Why , many largo establishments simply have their cash discounts for profits. These big concerns can really sell goods for less than the small dealer can buy them. "While speaking 1 have had clothing par ticularly In my mind , bul the same facts apply to the trade In boots and shoes and In men's furnishing goods. " A call was made on the wholesale drug house of Schuylcr , Schlcffelln R. Co. . and my questions wcro referred to Mr. Urown , Ihe manager. "There Is plenly of room In Iho drug Iracle , " ho answered , "and grand opporlunl- llcs for Ihe rlghl kind of young men. The right kind of man Is one who Is educated , who Is willing to begin at the bottom and apply himself diligently to business. If this Is done success Is certain. The profits are small In this business , while In the retail trade they are quite large and ample for remunerative returns for the capital nnd attention required. Hut then wo are for tunate In having n business which runs very evenly throughoul the year. U really offers exccllcnl Inducements. "It-requires hard work , and shirking will surely bring failure. If a man trie's to start at the top he will slide to the bottom through a simple law of nature. Then It Is a dlfllcult business , and comes next to the professions , for It requires much technical knowledge and Information of Intricate details. The utmost executive ability Is required to conduct a largo business , and keep It on a paying basis. "Tho salaries are high , and able men are In great demand and Indispensable. Such men are sure of advancement. So , you see , the business offers Inducements , and has plenty ot openings for men who are qualified to reach the top. " BROKERS AND HANKERS. Mr. J. Van Schlack , one of the oldest men "on the street , " was asked about the chances in brokerage and banking. "There Is really no chance for a young man to make money as a broker now. Of course , ho may get a start with some old firm , and by Iho right sort of ability and application finally make a success ot U. Hut there Is no encouragement , particularly at this time. The business Is cut all lo pieces , and the Stock exchange Is so con servative and holds commissions si high that outside , Irresponsible persons are Induced to go Into the business and ruin It. Then , In terest Is very low , and there Is no great profit In thai department of the business. "Tho uncertainly lhat comes out of our financial system Is greatly responsible for the uninviting state of affairs. This uncer tainly also affects banking , and 1 would be slow In advising any man to start In the banking business , particularly at this time , Of course , a man with capital can always nnd use for his money and make money out of It ; but there are now no extra Induce ments. The right kind of a man to start In a big bank has the best of opportunities for advancement and may take advantage ol chances that may lead him to success. Hut I must say I cannel recommend banking or any kindred business as a good opporlunlly for financial success. " The hotel business Is one not often sug gested to a young man , but It was embraced In the present inquiry , and Mr. T. M. Hll- llard , now In cluirge of the Waldorf , was called on , "There are good opportunities for young men ot education and energy to find remu nerative employment' In the hotel business , ' he said , "that Is , If they are willing to prop erly qualify themselves , and to devote the long hours to the business that are required by constant and careful oversight that Is de manded by each department of the business. The hotel business Is one which has not to any great extent received attention from col lege-bred men , for they have apparently thought It did not offer opportunities for the exercise of their acquirements. But that Is a mistake. "The training of a college In developing the quick and accurate exercises of the fac ulties Is exactly fitted to prepare a man for succcsstul hotel work. Most of our more prominent hotel managers are self-made men , many of whom have started at the bottom and worked their way up to the top , "I really know of but few fields that offer betlcr chances , with brains and application than the hotel business. Then the remii' ncratlon ! s good. " THEATRICAL HUSINESS. In reference to theatrical business as a life work for a young man , A. M. I'almer says : 'Does theatrical management offer opport nlllcs lo the young man who has Just graduated from college and Is seeking a career , and would you advise H as a choice of business ? II Is Impossible , for man > reasons , lo give general advice of definite value on this particular subject. graduate who had made a special study of economic questions nnd finance could rea sonably hope for success In banking , I woult unhesitatingly say yes. I should say the same thing as to railroad service. In these and similar lines of business the young ad venturer would have definite alms and es tablished Institutions to occupy him. I can Imagine a young man In Europe fitting him self for the management of a stato-aldce theater. "A permanent position exists which ho may acquire. With us the manager exists o : himself. Ho cornea , succeeds or falls , leaves his mark or not and disappears , leaving no ono to fill his shoes. Management considered as a business Is largely a matter of accident It was so In my own case , and whatever unconscious preparation I may have had for It would not lead me to say that a special literary preparation for the business gives the young man any special advantage In seeking management as a business , "It Is not a matter of employment. He would require experience and capital , not to speak of other conditions , to begin life ns a manager. If he should wish to learn the business In Its details ho mfght have to un dergo a long apprenticeship , serving In many capacities , with the result always Indetcr- inlnale , for many are connected with the profession who never do and never can de velop Into managers. "Thero arc too many acldents In the ca rcer and too many personal qualities hidden In ono to promise success lo any youns man , It being Impossible to advise a young man how to become a manager , It follows that If ho seeks and secures employement leading1 up to that end ho Is simply making an experiment. " RAILROADING. The business of planning , constructing , equipping and running railroads appears , on good authority , to bo an Increasing business that demands the best brains and most will ing hand In the land. 1 Mr. John M. Touccy , general manager cf the New York Central & Hudson Illvcr railway , was found busy In his office , but courteously took time to answer my ques tions for the benefit of the youVig men cf the country. "There Is plenty of room for young men In our railways , " he said. "There Is a demand for them , and they are wanted badly. I know of no better chance for young men In any business , Ilut they must have ability first , and then application , That will Insure them good positions , good pay and advancement. " The success of one young man with the New York Central road Is a good Illustra tion of about what Is required , nnd will apply to other lines of business , So the story , which comes from an office of the road , Is not without value. The young man 1s .Mr. Harry Wblpple , grandson to the respected bishop of Minne seta and a graduate of Yale college. Ho ap- plkd to the New York Central for work and was put In ono of the ofllces. Finally he went from ono department to another until bo got Into the operating department , \vhleh was his strong desire , Then ho be gan studying the principles of a locomotive t'liglue. and by the use of a model \\hlch ho could dissect learned oil about Its construe- Ion. Ho naked to nre nn cnplnc and * c- cctecl n ulnslo trnck division of the rend , where the work w s most dlfneuU , for his iractlcc. There ho performed a fircninn'R work for fireman's wages until ho had served us npprentlccuhlp , Then he look a loco- native ns engineer and ran It on the same Inc until he knew all that was to be learned about It. From that he was graduated Into a round- touso nnd did every sort of work that Is to je done In such a place. Ho shirked noth- ng nnd took the surroundings nnd pay of each position he occupied. Now ho Is In charge of ono of the large round houses of .he company , with all ot the responsibility ; hat such n position Implies. And the end U not yet.

Stanford's devotion to the university which bears her son's name has been shown in a way so uncommon as to attract special attention. Although she was receiving under an order of court an allow ance of $10,000 a mouth pending the settling up of the estate , she regarded the needs ol the university as being paramount to hei own and voluntarily asked the court to re duce her allowance to $2,000 n month. .

NBW YOllK. Juno 28. Henry Clews , of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. , writes ot the situation In Wall street : Somewhat singularly , Wall street 1ms Hhowii much less sympathy with the assur ing effect of the St. I ouls ilcclarntlonB free silver than other brunches of the business community. This anomaly may be aceountcil for from various eauses. To liosln with , the speculative spirit has oi'ii so completely crusheil and the Street" has become so utterly tllstriistful that the market had lost all Its resiliency and WAS too feeble to respond to even the "bull" overtures from London. In the next place , the loom "boar" operators wore considerably oversold and stoutly resisted any upward tendency. Attain , there \\IIH a disposition to wall for the c oho of public opinion upon the St. l.ouls i i Id plank ; and r-ome nre disposed to wait lor the outcome of the c-hlettuo convention. Moreover , the fact of the chaliBe coming so near the tlmo of summer absences was unfavorable to timloitnkltip ; new operations ; and the more so as thoie Is every prospect of the elec tion campalRii bolni ? one ol unusual excite ment. Also. It Is tcarcd that an over whelming display of silver slreiiRth at the Chicago" convention may possibly Interfere with the wholesome Impression produced by the St. I.uui' ) declarations. The per sistent runiorn of Impending complications between Spain and our government , though probably having no foundation In fact , have had a restraining effect on transac tions ; and the unfortunate Incident In Venezuela has had a simitar tendency. It Is mainly this combination of a Bet of small Influences which has held the market stag nant under conditions otherwise well cal culated to foster an Important Improvement In prices. prices.WIIJj WIIJj NOT IOOM STOCKS. There Is now apparently little prospect that the great assurance of safety against silver conveyed by the St. Louis platform will be made the occasion of any Imme diate speculative boom. The event has lost Its first freshness , and Its olTortH must be looked for under cover of a later set of circumstances. Wall street has lost the opportunity for an Important recovery from Its protracted depression and for showIng - Ing Its appreciation of an Invaluable con tribution toward the recovery of public confidence. It has failed to celebrate , In Us own way , a great financial victory and a great national event , and with no great credit to Its sagacity. Hut. not the less , the achievement will have Its effect upon the course of financial affairs , though the recognition may corno. so late as to lose some of Its effect. It has been supposed that Wall street's verdicts are prompt and that they give the cue to the opinions of other Interests. In this case. It has failed to Justify Its reputation for leadership. Hut , no loss on thitt account , have the mercantile and Industrial Interests formed a very decided estlmlite upon the Im portance of the utter defeat of the silver faction at St. Louis , They perhaps recog nize more readily the value of this victory because it Js largely theirs ; not a 'political ' achievement ; but one won by the manly efforts of men moved by an Intelligent per ception of the vital Issues at stake and the. serious Interests endangered. Among the mercantile classes , then ; Is a common fool ing , almost Irrespective of party , that the St. Louis platform ' 'isstlron the consumma tion of a sound inrfney policy and the final avoidance of the silver peril. This Is more. than n hope ; It Is ,11 ( Ixcd conviction ; and the demoralization pervading the rank-J of the opposition party , eems to leave * no pos sibility of any otlwr outcome of the elec tions. The feoliifcr 111- trade circle's has conpequently BVowif u very marked Improve. munt within the past week. In thti. volume of commercial tranpactlons there luis boc'ii perhaps little change ; for the reason that this Is a mid-season period of the year and the volume of HuSlnc ! iv Is at Its lowest point. There Is , however , a marked recov ery of uonlldent'f iwhlch may l > e expected to show Itself IK /preparations for the fall trade and already finds expression In n bolter tone In prices. , " This Improvement does not overlook the fact that the defeat of the- silver faction does not cure every/ evil In the .situation ; nor H there any Inclination to exaggerate Its value. Theie Is no disposition to ovaile the fact that n refractory senate may be expected to do Its utmost to defeat every form of wholesome legls'atlon. It Is ex pected from that body that the defeat of silver will cause It to oppose all efforts to renovate our currency system , and prob ably to Interpose every obstacle to rein forcing- the revenue through a revision of the tariff. Nor Is It forgotten that noth ing has yet been accomplished toward re lieving the treasury of Its nxposure to the draining of Its reserve The prospects of legislation nr'o thus surrounded with no little uncertainty ; and absolutely smooth and unobstructed sailing Is out of the ques tion. Ilut the difficulties that remain arc virtually subsidiary matters , aa compared with the. removal of the one danger that has threatened to overwhelm every Inter est In the ruin of a debased currency. The mcnpe from the danger which has over shadowed all others combined Is something that warrants a very large recovery o ! confidence and a great relief of the para lysis that has so completely prostrated bus. Inoss ; and when the time comes round for the resumption of seasonable business It seems entirely reasonable to expect a re turn to much he'althler business condltlonn than we have witnessed for Hies last three- years. years.GOLD GOLD INCOMIC IS NKKDI3D. One. of the first subjects to bo undertaken upon the reopening of congress should be the remedy of the conditions under which the treasury Is 7iow sufferingIt Is time that the policy of running the finances unon temporary makeslilftH was ended. The country has become wearied of borrowing 5100,000,000 a year to redeem the greenbacks over and over again , and no delay should be lost In bringing about a fiscal rearrange ment that will Insure for the treasury a gold Income sufficient to take care of all needful redemptions of Its notes. That was the protection of the treasury pre vious to lMi.1 , and there Is no snfliclent rea son why It should not now become Its shield again. That me'asnro belmr accomplished , noth ing will remain needful to effecting a com plete restoration of our credit abroad ; and , wfth that , will cease the continuous drain upon our stock o' g&Td. with probably a return of much of the largo amount that wo have exported since the panic of ism. This and the prevention of further coinage of silver being accomplished , the recon struction of our paper money system may be safely permitted to stand over until con ditions arn mnrc favorable to a thorough wlso and final treatment of that branch of the money question. The great thins that now summons the country to a re vival of confidence apd activity Is the fact that the silver heresy In at lust placed un der control nnd < b Ktln"d f > extinction. Thla emancipation Is not yet linlf estimated at Its real practical value ; It Is too far-reach ing to be taken In on first thought.

They mil out big lines of short stock and were Vllsuppolnted at the result- * * ' Instead of the demoru.llzlng action which they hoK | > d for at StT i uls , the republican party came forward honestly and bravely and the quick result speculative1 ! was practically every bear npeeulator ; In Wall street was badly nlppvd. The market went up. In Homo qilurtbVHlIf scored an advance that hail In It the flavor of an old-time boom. Kow HhortB have since been covered. The traders who a month ago sold stocks they did not own lm their delivery con tracts Btlll unclosed On this account they keep pegging away at current prices. At the beginning of this week they nicked out Sugar trust stock to center their at tacks upon. They went at It vigorously and tmvo been able to knock It down 10 points. Incidentally they have had the as sistance of Important Inside Interests. The smashing of Sugar , however , la Inconsi.- quuntlal beside what bus been aimed at , for It Is the rest of the market the stand ard railroad stocks that the raiders have really desired to affect. In that they have accomplished prac tically nothing beyond Increasing their al ready extended short Interest. In some of these railroad stocks , llku St. J'aul. Ilur- llngton and Hock Island , the short con tracts have really become unwieldy. With the railroad stocks refuging to get Into a panic along with Sugar trust the raldero directed their attention In the latter part of the week to some of the other conspicu ous IndustrialsJiotably Tobacco and Leather trusts. Tlit-fie have declined ma terially , though hardly an much as the BUI- national npnultfl upon them might Imve srfineil lo wnrinnt. In the brief pension of iiuslncsR on Uio Stork exchange yestcrtlay there wan n con certed drive at ox-cry prominent Mock deal nnd those that were most largely traded In ; fell off a point or so , both In the Industrials i nnd railway shares. Hut a canvass of the most Important banking nnd brokerage houses 1 of Wall street since business closed for t the < lny disclosed almost unanimity In such quarters In the belief that of the stocks sold for the transactions which pro duced the. declines , hardly any represented the liquidation of Investments , the selling out of stocks owned outright or being car _ ried on margins by the investing classes. The demoralizing sales were sale's of short stock. The declines In prices were caused by transactions which are now only half completed. Anybody with courage can sell stocks down In a hammering e-atnpalgn. The trlek Is to be able to buy back at anything llko the prices which the hammering produces. The last part of this program Is yet to be put Into effect so far as the great major ity of this week's transactions nre con cerned. There Is practically a universal agree ment In the highest quarters of Wall street that the people who now own stoi'ks are not letting them go because of any new fangled threats or demoralizing sales. The approach ' of Ihe national democratic con vention and Its game cf anarchy finance Is cutting no llgtire In the Investment world. Nobody In financial circles Is creditIng - Ing the democratic party this year with any chance of winning. Its probable platform declarations , therefore , nre causing no ap prehension. The mat ! dog "lull cannot bite Is not a mail dog to ere'-1 : n panic. H looks as If .If cert of campaigning with which we have hep i lecaled this week may continue In Ills and starts through out the pendancy of the pOlltle.il ccmi algn. There In likely to be continual t > imitation lo bear traders to rush In anil hammer quotations , but the results \ \ \ \ \ probably be right along pretty much what they have been this week the mere marking down of quotations without attending liquidation , which means no material advantages to the speculators who do the hammering , while the risks they assume ) will be full of ilangcr. Hupaboos have lost their terrorizing ef fects. In every sudden decline In quota tions for good stocks now there will be opportunities for handsome and probably quick prollts for men courageous enough to Invest. Such an Investment will need to be prudent , of course , but the oppor tunities offering have never he-en greater than they are at present. present.It. . AM V\VAY.

Klnnl llgnres showed a decline of from ? , c to % e : . The early strength came from the fair showing of the exports for the week. Northwestern receipts , too , were more moderate , and the southwest had more rain , which were also factors that had a like tendency on the market. Argentine shipments were small. Cables , too , were fairly steady In tone , Liv erpool being quoted unchanged , which , In this incis ot the decline ! on this side , was taken as an Indication of more conlldcnce. There was it moderate trade In com and an easier tone to the market , a good deal of July liquidation taking place. Slightly l'.ic e-arly and widened later to from I'.tc to lUc.

Otaalm had only l.ttQ lu-nd , hut that was moro than any other market hail. The most of the cattle hero were corn fed beeves of good average' nuallty , anil some ; of them were very prime. In addi > tion lo thu fat ealtlo there wasi a e-un- sidcrablo sprinkling ot butchers' stock , fcedelH , etc. The market did not show much ehaiiRo as compared with yesterday , values bcliur. just about stationary on all grades. The demand was good and the market fairly active so that a reasonably parly clearance ! was effected. Owing to the good ipiallty of the cattle the sales showed up well on paper , $1.10 and JJ.Iii being paid for some , and one hunch going as high as fl.30 , the best price HO far this season. Only about live loads of cows and hclfera were on sale , and while the offering * were small they were larger than em a good many days. The n arket was Just about steady , with no new feature of any Im portance. Everything In the line of butchers' stock changed hands early. There were a few storkers and feeders In the yards which went at just about steady price's. Some - opeiatot-H on the market are looking for a much better demand for stock cattle after the western range season opens. Ihoso who have canvassed tlio country both cast and west , llnd lhat there are no young cattle of any consequence on hand , and all feeders are wanting them. U la predicted that there will be a large demand , as soon as enough cattle of this class como to market. The cattle market of the past week has been decidedly In buyers' favor. In tlm llrst place the demand has been good anil all arrivals have met with ready sale at ruling prices. As to values , there him been a decided Improvement. No phenomenal advances have been scored on any one day hut there has been a gradual upward ten dency , each day's market a little Htrongeir than the day before. At the close of the week : values on desirable grades of beoC' steers are fully 10Ci20c higher than at close of previous week. HOtlS-The lower prices prevailing during the two daj-H past evidently hail something to do witli the fulling off. In the receipt * today , which ere thort of last Saturday's reeurd by o\er 3,000 head , btlll there was a fair axeinre ran The market was nut very iicthe , and still Iho most of the hogs sold In reasonably ioud se-ason As to values , the market was rather uneven In Instances , some salesmen reporting the market IIH strong at the opening and others barely steady. AH to the close , all were agreed that It was easier. Tlierc were no choice Unlit hogs here today to compare with the J3.20 hoes yesterday , so that on paper thu market lonked lower. Much as were here ild at ! : ! . H'ii3.lri ' , and hogs of the same weights did not bring any more yestcid.iy. Taking the market IIH a whole. It would not show much chunce either way from yesterday. The great bulk of all the IIOKU sold at J2 ! iui3.M. The lion market of the past week has he-en in fairly satisfactory condition , the Mipply anil demand being Just about equal. lions , hntli heavy and light have hold freely all the week at prevailing prices , nnd operators ha\e found ready sale on the market for nil offerings. The week opened nt the low point \\lth I lie most or the IIOKH helling at J2.M , hut nn Tuesday It took Jump of about lOe , which carried It to the high est point reached during the pe-rlod under re view. The tendency of the mniltct from Tuesday until the close of the week was Kradually down ward. Values today arc back Just about where they were a week ago. SIIKI31 * There were four double decks of Idahn sheep here today , the llrst western Krasn sheep of the teason. The demand wa good and the offerIngs - Ings were picked up < | Ulckly , at a strung price. CHICAGO MVI3 STOCIC MAKICIiT. Ueiiiiiml for \VeIl I'Vil CullliCiml Imie-H ( o ImproveDull } - . CHICAC5O.
