NEW YORK , Feb. 17. There wcro ml
vances In stock prices today which wcr
material In the standard Blocks and th
market left off buoyant nt the best. Train
actions reached nearlyl.OOO.OW shares forth
first tlmo this week. Some iKBltancy wn
manifest at the opening In view of the possl
blllty of foreign developments which mlgh
follow the death of the president of th
French renubllc.
The fractional declines In the London an
local market were checked when Paris aji
penred as a buyer In London , which had
reassuring effect. Noticeably weak fen
tures in the early trading were Sugat
Tobacco and Burlington. Those stocks on
after another were taken well , and becam
nctlvo after last night. Many trader
viewed the action of yesterday's market n
Indicating a resumption of a bull move
ment and purchased stocks.
The fact that St. Paul's earnings for th
second week in February increased some

CATTLE Today's receipts were the
'smallest since Monday , but they were con
siderably larger than a week ago. So far
this week ther has been a most deckled
pain In the receipts of cattle over last week.
It was to be expected that the break In the
market would cause a havy reduction In
tlio receipts and It doubtless will later on.
The market today could hardly have been
worse and all the unfavorable things that
were suld yesterday would apply -squally
well again today. The situation In the east
is very bad as- regards the. market on
dressed meats , and the market on llvo cat
tle is simply a reflection of the unsatis
factory conditions governing the market for
the product.
This morning there were , not many corn-
fed steers on sale and the quality was
rather common , but there were fully as
many as wsro wanted and the quality was
as good as thu market. The. trade could be
summed up In a very few words as being
extremely slow nnd weak and unsatis
factory , with values 30035c lower than on
Monday. It was lats before anything was
done and the cattle changed hands very
slowly.
The market on butchers was also Blow
and weak and the' offerings changed hands
slowly , so that It was late before anything
llko a clearance was effected , although the
receipts were light. Veal calves sold well ,
choice veals going at JC.75.
There was not very much In the way of
stockers or fesders In the yards , but , na
usual toward the last of the week , there
was an evident decrease In the dmand , and
after such a sharp break In beef valuss
buyers did not feel Inclined to give steady
prices. In fact the market was a little sloy
end lowor. Representative saUs :

COWS AND HEHTEUS.
HOGS The change In values this morn
ing was very slight , but what llttlo did
take place wun on the side of easier prices.
Common light and llgnt mixed hogs ,
especially , were a llttlo easier , Huyers HH
a rule were reporting th * market as about
Hteady , but they admltlM that they had
bought u llttlo better hogu for the same
money than yesterday.
The trade WOH a llttlo slow to open , its
salesmen were asking fully steady or even
strong prices , but mill everyone got down
to business reasonably early und It wo * not
long until the big bulk of the hogs Siad
changed hands. Other markets were re-
port'd as barely steady or easier , und that
being the cabo It was hardly possible to hold
this market up and salesmen cut loose.
Light and light mixed hogs sold for the
most part at $3.50 3.57'.i , heavy mixed loads
at J3 GOys C3 , and choice heavy at J3.70. It
will 'be remembered that yesterday the
rang ? was J3.50ij3.72V4. One thing Is notlre-
abld nt the present tlmo and that la th *
very good demand for cnolco heavy hogs
and the wider range between common and
good kinds , Iluyers are discriminating very
much more closely in the matter of quality
than they were u week ago.
A planco at the table of receipts above
will show that there hn been a considerable
gain In the matter of receipts this week.
From the table of average prices It will bo
noted that for three fi ys In succession
there has been little chance In the uverago
price paid for hogs on tills market , aUo
that the market is now Just about where
it was nt tlio opening of the month , Her
