Influenced by better London quotations an

Purchases for London account on bnlanc
reached nliout 25.000 shares , but It w.is cs
tlmnted that about 150,000 shares of stoc
shipped from London would reach No

the ratification of the pence treaty wr
likely had seine influence on spc-culath

weakness on the Inttcr stock was In

CATTLE All told there were 100 cars o
cattle In tin yards , as lagalnst 101 yester
day , eighty-three n week ago , elghty-fou
two weeks ago , and thirty-one three week
ago. Of the cattle here thlrty-thrso car
wtre consigned direct to packers , lejivlni
only sixty-seven cars on sale. The. marke
us a whole was 'In satlsiactory shape , s
far ns the selling Interests were concerned
About fifteen loads of cornfed steers jvtr
on sale , and the demand being good' Ui <
market was fully steady with yesterday
It was n cold morning and buyers were no
out very early and when thsy did go It wa
on foot so that the movement was not a
active us on some days , nut It was actlv
enough to effect a reasonably early clear
nnce. The half to two-thirds fat cattle ar <
selling lar&Uy ut 14.60@4.85 , pretty fal
cuttle are selling right around 45.00 , BOOI
cattle are bringing 55.15ji6.25 , and real ) ;

Cows and heifers sold In about the. sami
notches as yesterday and the market wai
wlthput new featurss worth reporting. T.hi
trade on butchers' stock could be summe <
up as a go" " , steady market. Bulls , Blags
etc. , brougut steady prices also
In the stacker and feeder division then
was a strong feeling. calculators ha <
cleaned up about all the cattle that the :
had on hand , while the fresh receipts wen
extremely small. Tno result was tha
thcrj was a good buying demand for gooc
kinds and Itwas no trouble for the holder
of such to secure good , strong prlcea
Some good western yearlings sold at ? 5.0o
which -will give an Idea ot the way goo <
cattle are going. Shipper * must bear li
mind that the high prices paid for ttocl
calves are for good kinds. Common , rougl
calves on the Jersey or Holstcin order , an
anything but good sellers and prices 01
such are low as compared with the bettei
grades. Representative sales :
