CATTLK llecclpts of cattle wore the
smallest ot the week to date , but that fact
did not help out the market. O the con
trary , the market could hardly have been
worse with heavy receipts. It looks very
much as If the packers had their houses
pretty well supplied with beef and were
taking advantage of the fact to pound the
market.
This morning the buyers did not venture
out Into tihe yards until after the middle
of the forenoon , but stood about the exchange -
change building nursing their bearish feel
ings. There was complaint of high-priced
cattle and low-priced beef , nnd cheap and
abundant poultry. The puckers ar untnls-
taltably on bear side and it looks very
much na If cattle values will ihave to come
down If they .have their way about It.
\\1hen the buyers llnally showed up In
the yards this morning some of them an
nounced at the outset that they did not
want anything but a few choice little cat
tle , and others started In bidding ICdplOc
lower.
Under such conditions the market was not
only late In opening , but It was slow al !
day , and latu before anything like a clear
ance was effected. In the end , however ,
the most of Che cornfed cattla were sold ,
I but at prices that were all the way from
Iflc to 15e lower.
Cows nnd heifers wereIn fair supplj
and tha market was In about the same
condition as the steer market. The buyers
seemed to want good heifer stuff suitable
for Christmas beef , but they did not want
to pay fancy prices and were a long time
In clearing the pens. As a general thing
the market was fully 10e lower.
Veal calves were scarce and In good de
mand , and as .11 result sold at way up
prices in spite of the condition of the mar
ket on other kinds of cattle.
Feeders followed beef cattle on the down
irade. While there were quite a fow. feod-
srs and stocjt caiUclutuo yards the de
mand was of very moderato proportions
and the market slow and lower. Uepre-
sentatlve sales :

NEW YORK , Dec. 17. The dry goods market :
shows more activity , the trading which ban
mnde Its appearance since the reduction In
bleached goods linvlng had the effect of benefiting
the market generally. The Increased activity Is
noticeable both In store trading nnd In mall
illas
orders , but .tellers are yet afraid to predict as
to how much real benefit will accrue. In other
linen of utaplo cotlons the market shows no
particular change , although brown goods have
gathered ome > strength , ns the result of heir
reductions In bleached poods.
