During most of the session, however, stubborness cropped out whenever the market approached 860 for tliu May option. At that point there were resting orders to buy ana no break occurred. In the last quarter of an hour the price went to 8.'9ic. Dry weather In the winter wheat belt of the United States acted more or less as a counterpoise to the news from Argentina. In consequence cash wheat was firmly held here and elsewhere, although the demand could not be classed as anything but poor. A prospect of more floods In France helped for a while to sus tain the market, but In the end the re ported pressure of offerings from La Plata and Manitoba exerted the greater effect.

In spite of the fact that It was so near the end of the week packers were out In the yards In good seascn and everything desirable In the way of killers sold readily at good, steady prices. A bunch of year ling steers and heifer sold aa high as $6.75. For the week prices on beef steers are around 25o lower than last week's close. Cows and heifers were In good demand and they sold quite readllv at steady prices. Still for the week the market Is around 10il5o lower. There were only a few feeders In sight, but they sold readily at about the same prices aa prevailed yesterday. For the week strictly good, well bred light or medium weight cattle are about steady, but the less desirable kinds and the heavy, fleshy cattle are around 10(815o lower.

The result was that the market opened early In the morning with everything selling freely and with prices unevenly higher. To call the general market lovgnso higher than yes terday would Just about cover the situa tions. This means that sheep are around 25c higher and lambs and ewes fully Boo higher than the close of last week, tlood ewes sold as high as $3.85, with old wethers up to $4.16, and with quite a string of old wethers, with s sprinkling of yearling on them, at $4.85. Straight yearltncs sold as high as $5.10. Good shorn lambs sold at $5.80, and a big string of range lambs from the best fields of Idaho sold at $4.00. Good native lambs sold up to $i.2S. The market as a whole was very satis factory to the sellers and the tone to trade good and healthy. As s matter of course the high prices paid are to all appearances the direct results of light receipts. There were very few feeders of any kind In sight this morning, but, as has been the case all the week, the demand was very urgent and there were plenty of buyers on hand to take anything that might put In an appearance. Under such circum stances it Is hardly necessary to add that the feeling on feeders Is good and strong.

NEW YORK, Dec. .-R, O. Dun tk Co.'g Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: nnav Hrawtno to a OloSS Will DS notable for Its harvests, the money value of Its farm products bolng computed at close to $9.ofl0.uoo,wJO, a record figure. This fact forms the best possible basis ror in dustrial advance next year. There Is, however, little change In fi nancial and business sentiment, which rs- malns conservative and rautlus. Continued restriction of output has not prevented steady accumulation of tl Iron stocks and the movement to ourtali opem tlons Is expected to be carried still further. In the dry goods markets, the holiday trade la shaping up well and re-orders for merchandise are going Into Jobbing houses steadily. The cotton goods and cotton yarn markets are hampered by the difficulty of getting prices commensurate with high cotton costs and curtailment continues While there Is some Improvement In the shoe trade, business Is still considerably below normal for this season of the year. Prices on footwear are not strong, but no concessions of cure are reported as values are already low, oonsldeilng ths cost of production. BRADSTRERT'S REVIEW Of TRADE Seasonable Weather and Approach of Holidays Help Ilaalnesa. NEW YORK, Dec, 9. Bradstreef to morrow will say: Snow or rain, followed by cold weather throughout considerable areas, have tended to stimulate retail sales of winter goods and wearing apparel, while the approach of the holidays has helped specialties adapted to the season. Jobbers and whole salers catering to this class of business have apparently done well as a whole, re plenishing of broken stocks giving A slight Impetus to trade In seasonable goods. In regular wholesale trade the approach of the Inventory sea-son made for quietness and spring buying In general Is reported of rather light volume with conservation still ruling trade for distant dates. Collections, as a whole, will not class better than fa!r.
