CATiiE There were more good beef steers In the yards today than has been the rule of late , and the sales make a much bet- er showing on paper. In fact , the bulk of .ho corn-fed cattle were good enough to bring above $5. One bunch of choice 1,116- .xnind beeves sold at J3.C3 , the highest price paid on this market In some time. Tlie market was active and a little stronger. The offerings were all cleaned up In good season. In addition to the natives there was quite a string of western bseves which averaged 1,151 ixjunds , and sold at $4.15. motile lighter westerns brought J3.73 , and a load of heavier cattle J4-35. The packers who have been very Indifferent buytrs for some little time took hold today with more ntercst and the Improved feeling In the market was due largely to that fact. The market during this week has been cradu- illy working upward , though it has hardly : ieen possible to quote any very decided ad vance for any single day. Cows and heifers brought good strong trices , and the supply , which was light , was noon exhausted. A good share of the cows on sale brought over J3. . There were no stockers or feeders In the ranis to sneak of , and nothing doing In that iiranch of the cattle trade. Tli ? season , lowever , has arrived when very little activ ity Is expected In that kind of cattle. Rep resentative sales : UEEF STEEP.S. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. 1'r. No. Av.

The American Wool nnd Cotton Itnporler will say tomorrow c.f thi- wool radc : The market ruled quiet ; No. 1 round ots of wool has been disposed , but the trans actions of the past week have be n m.istly ol small inrccls. The number of purchm m In the markets has been small and moil of thori- who have appeared have boushl uparhiRly. In 'oielsn ' wool there has been less di-lnit than ast week , while In domestic stiok , excipt In California nnd Montana wools , them have been few transactions worthy of note. The weak opening of the London sales unquestionably exerted an Influence on the maiket. but Tues- lay'B dlKpatches Indicated a burdening tendency n the prices of wools , whlrh has norm-what stIITenod the Idt-as of tlinutIniiMtijIed in lur- elKn stocks. A factor which hu urlfd unfavor- ibly on the maiket has been the labor dlr- urbnncen In Olney\llle. near PiotliK-nci1 , II. I. The mills affected by the troubles of labor nrc very tarue purchasers of wool nnd the with drawal of the demand from thl source IMS certainly exeiclscd an appiccluble effect on the wi-ek'B business. latest ailvlccH from the wool rnlslnc section Indicates thu purchnsInK fever IIUH Homi-what riKiled off and that affairs are somewhat qnlrter. There has been developed this Benson , however , i tendency amoiiK traders In the Interior who are not rcKUlar wotil buyers to buy wool on ac count of Its low prke. These out1de parties who would buy imythlnu If It was cheap. whether cotton , leallipr or lion , have been led o take hold of wool , bmlnK their net km nn the theory that there has been nn advance In other llnm of Mnpli * inerchniulNe. nnd t'lmt wool will follow.

There Is no speculating nmonB mcmbem of the wool trade. The result has been a quieting clown.
