EVIDENT MARKET HAS BEEN OVERSOLD
Seearltles Which goffered the Most

Qnlekest mm atrontjest
Recoveries.
NEW YORK, Msy 17. The pressure of
liquidation on a small scale which naa
kept prices of stocks tending downward
for several days, was relaxed today. This
fact seemed to be the principal motive for
the buying which lifted prices. In the
language of tho Stock exchange the mar
ket had become oversold. The fact that
stocks which have suffered most from re
cent declines mads the sharpest recoveries
today and that the brokerage houses which
did the buying were in some Instances the
same which had been conspicuous in the
selling, were the grounds for a conviction
that covering of shorts was largely re
sponsible for the rally.
Winter wheat waa reported improving In
the west, and the progress of spring
wheat seeding showed the same mixture
of conditions. Unfavorable condition of
the cotton crop waa according to expec
tation. There were no additions to the
engagements of gold for export and the
rise In call money rates i checked, but
the tone cf the time money market was
firm. The winding up of the United States
Steel stock conversion syndicate was with
out disturbing effect, either on the money
market or the United States Steel stocks.
A drop In United States Rubber stocks, on
the publication of the annual report, was
an example of the Inability of the market
to absorb offerings of stock accumulate!
In anticipation of the report. The Erie
stocks were acutely sensitive to the reac
tion In the market. Trading become wholly
uninteresting In the latter part of the day.
The cloning was quite firm, but the final
rally was slight. Bonds were steady. Total

CATTLE There waa a big run of cattle
here today, over 200 cara being on sale. It
was very evident from the time that pack
ers started for the yards that there waa
very much better tone to the trade than for
several days past. All the buyers seemed
to be anxious for supplies and salesmen had
little trouble tn getting, more, money, than
they did yesterday.
Although the big bulk of the offerings
consisted of corn-fed steers the market
ruled active and stronger. A good many
sales were 6S10c higher, or In other words
the loss of yesterday waa Just about re-
falned. The demand was In good shape
or both heAvy and light cattle, though the
latter were given the preference unless the
heavy cattle' were of Very good quality.
There were several bunches of good cattle
on eale, though, as will be seen from tho
sales below. The big end of the receipts
waa sold at an early hour, and In fact prao
Ucally everything waa disposes of by the
middle of the forenoon.
The cow market was also active and firm.
Packers did not pound the cow market yes
terday as much as they did the steers, so
that the prices on cow stuff did not show
so much Improvement today. Buyers were
.nvinm for aunnllea and trading was brisk
at good Arm prices, and everything; we out
or nrsi nanus iu evm ",in"".
Bulls, veal calve and stags were In good
h.it the nrlces Data did not show
enough change from yesterday to be worthy
of mention.
The etocker and feeder market was also
active and strong. There were only a few
!n the yaras, ana as a ii-n,ui
wanted some they changed hands freely.
As high a 84-30 was paid for some cattle
that could not be classed as extra choice.

HOU8 There wss a heavy run of hogs
here, nearly 200 cars being on sale. The
market opened with packers feeling rather
bearish owing to the big run. nnd the first
sales' were a shade easier. After the first
round, though, It became evident that pack
ers were anxious for supplies and trading
became more active with prices stronger.
At the beat time, which was about In
the middle of the market, the pi-Ices paid
were a shade stronger than yesterday, in
spite of the big run everything was out
of first hands by the middle ot the fore
noon. The bulk of tho good hogs sold
from $4.60 to $4.66. with choice loads going
Ixrerelv from - 84.66 to $4.70. with a top at
$4.76. The light Weights went from $450
down. The same aa uaual. the light stuff
was neglected and left until the laat, which
helped to make the close seem dull and
