The denllnns took on moro nppcnrnnco ot animation than at any time since the violent lent downward course of prices when the money situation first begnn to awaken i anxiety. Dealings were very well dlstrlb- uled In that almost every department pt the , sccurllles market was represented In ' lh advance. Handsome KIIIIIS In price were achieved In mnny prominent stocks anfl in a large number of cases Ihe lasl prices were Iho best. In oilier cases prolll i lafcjno mnde nolnble Inroads upon tne , dof's-.hlghest prices nnd some effort was , obvloijs In sustaining Iho mnrket In the , clixlnir dealings , 1 It wns n noticeable fcnturo of the mari i kel , also , that whllo a number ot members - | bors of a distinctive group ot stoeks would show great slrcnglh and activity otheri | members of the snme group , seemingly do- ] ondent on the snme Influences , would re- mnln quiescent nnd nlmost Immovable. 1ms whllo Louisville nnd the Norfolk locks advanced vigorously olhcr consplcu- ui soulhern lines of railways were qulle nnffected. Again , while the grangers also n n. rule wore strong nnd active , Nnrth- ventcrn scarcely moved and the Pnclllc locks , Including Soulhern Paclllc , showed cry slight response to the prevailing Irengtb. The New York , Chicago & St. /ouls stocks were subjected to rather pal- able manipulation , the llrst rising an ex- rcmo S polnls and the second preferred points. New York Central wns also vlg- rously bulled to a maximum price of 14U. 'h high-priced specialties , Including Sn- at , Tobacco and People's Gas , and the oc41 traction stocks were all ot them lo aggressively strong. The largest nc- ly wns In the Leather stocks nnd the . . jlng In them continued unlll the close , he common crossing 19 nnd the preferred ouchlng 81. This cnutncrntlon Includes the most conspicuous Instances of strength. nhero was nt the same time a notnblo nckwnrd movement In Pullman , Lncletio i Gas and Anaconda , which show net ilo- llnes. respectively , of Vi , G and 2 points. American Multlnir nnd one or two of the ron nnd steel stocks also reacted anrt llucoso Sugar preferred dropped 3 points n spite of the strcnglh of Iho common lock. How far the day's slrenglh wns duo to overlnp by the short Inleresls , which com- non credence places nt sllll larger pro- lorllons , It would be dlfllcult to say. The 1 nibllc had little to do with today's rise , lul professional operalors of a large cal- ber look a conspicuous and confident part n the market. The continued downward : ourse of sterling exchange affords relief rom nil apprehension of gold exports. But no prospect Is discernible ot easier money -ondltlons. Cnll money todny was stiller U 6 and 7 per cent nnd time loans for all icrlods again came back lo G per cent. The exchanges continued to move in favor of the interior as against New York. Recent - cent large expenditures by the government : r show a declining tendency and thus hrcaten n renewed drain on Ihe Now York banks In laking up the government sur " plus.

Chicago reported the fat cattle market 20 joOc lower for lost week , medium to prrtty good cattle ! standing the most loss. At the same time the market nt this point did not decline over 10@ > lCc. Buyers seumiU to have come to the conclusion that It was time the market at this point came down to the same level ns other markets. They did not start out to the yards until late , BO that the market wns very slow In opening and slow after It did open. As n rule buyers were bidding at the vt'ry least lOc lower , ind In mnny cases 25c lower. Sellers were linrdly prepared to make so much conces sion , so that the market was draggy all the morning. There were not many fat cattle among the offerings and ns sellers held on buyers wore forced to ralso their hands , and they finally cleared the yards before midday at prices that were not more than 510c ! lower than last week. Some of the ) best cowa and heifers sold at prices that were not much different from the clode of Saturday , but there wore a good many on sale and It seemed to be thu prevailing idea of buyers to tnke off about lOc AB was the case with other kinds ot cattle , the market waa slow , and It. was late before * a clearance was effected. The best stockers and feeders were In'act Ive demand and the market on that kind of. cattle was fully stc ady. There were , how ever , very few cattle ° of that kind on sale. On the other hand , the general run of the common to medium kinds of cattle , were slow eale and the market weak In addition. The good kinds of feeders sold early , but it was slow work unloading1 the common kinds. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS , No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

Good mut ton sheep were fully steady with last week , while lambs were generally nbout lOo higher. The most of the early arrival ; ? changed hands In good season , but neirly half of the receipts did not put In an appearance until elope to 11 o'clock , which made the market rather late. The stocker nnd feeder markel did not show much change as compared with the close of last week. There Is a fair demand for that kind of stock. Quotations : Prime native wethers.
