The net changes in stock prices today were Irregular with mostly losses prevailing/ London quota tions Induced a lower range of prices here at the start. Firmness In the call money market , which ranircd from S to 4 per cent , was a de pressing Influence much of the day , but its cnsinc off to 3 to 3V4 per cent before the clo'e , a rally sot In which wiped out carlHr losses In some stocks. Union Pacltic. Northern Pacillc , Atchlson preferred nnd Manhattan were under pressure , most of the day and dlsturbod eonlldence among the other railways , which were weak on mod- crate offerings. The weakness in Manhat tan was perhaps attributable to anticipa tion of the new issue of stock. Fear oE the possible failure of desired legislation af fected Third Avenue and Consolidated Gas , whllo In connection with the latter there was also talk of Increased competition. The pronounced strength of Tobacco , which at one time touched 214U , wag unac companied by nny explanatory news. Sugar displayed considerable Hrmness when other points of weakness were appearing and ended with a small net1 advance. Chicago Terminal , Hocking Coal nnd Iron and Union Paclllc , Denver & Gulf were features of strength. In the afternoon rally the crnnccrs nnd standard shares generally were lifted about a point from their low llsura and retained most of the recovery , leaving them Irregularly changed for the. day The calling of some loans by the banks for syndicate account preparatory to the nnyment of three-IUths of the Chicago cage & Alton money duo tomorrow In con nection with the recent "deal" ' was In a large measure responsible for the strength In call money. There was a rcllex casing In sterling exchange due to the strength of money here. The sales for London account for the day wore estimated at 25,000 , shares. The market closed firm.

In spite of these bear Inlluences , however , the very good local demand and the further fact Mint out of nil the cattle here there were only about thirtv-ilvo loads of cornfed steers' In the yard ? , rendered the market fully steady with yesterday. More than that the feeling was , if anything , better and the market more active. Buyers all seemed to want good beeves , and they went after them , so that the pens were not long In being cleared , practically everything being sold and weighed up before midday. With cows and heifers ths situation was nboire the same as It was with cornfcd steers. The supply was not large , whllo there was a good demand. Buyers were all out looking for supplies , and the most of the offerings changed hands in good sea son. The market as a whole on cow stuff was very satisfactory. Bulls , however , continue very slow at ithe decline noted list week. Shippers must bear in mind 'hni this decline is Just as largo ns re ported , that Is at the very least 25c on an average , nnd on some kinds sales show n loss of probably 40c. Shippers must nleo understand that the market here IK no worse than at other market points , but that there has been H slump in the bull market all along the line , which Is very liable to occur nt this season of itbe year. In the etocker nnd feeder division the situation was not quite so favorable for the sellers ns the weather was against It. Such cattle ns happened to please omslde buyers sold In some instances nt fully steady prices/ but the general market was weak nnd a llttln lower. No speculator seerr.p.d to feel like paying steady prices with the weather HO unfavorable , however there was all told , a fair demand , and the most of the feeding nnd stock cattle sold In good season , although there were more here than for some time past.

The bulk of the hogs soun changed hands under the very guild lucal demand JiitU as buyers wvro setting llilr more urgent orders ChUago began sending In reports of nn o.isl.T i-losr with some hogo < left unsold. These reports , coming just nt the time when buyers w r feellnw thc-niselves on Msy street , ns rognrds lining orders , took off the wire edge ot ( ho nnrket , nnd the close was "low and n little easier. Good light nnd light ml\rd loads sold nt f3.eoOfl.fi3 , the Hume ns yesterday , nml the heavier mixed lo.id.M sold largely at $3.65. Some good fancy hogs sold at J3.70. It will be noted from the tnlili > f average prices nt head of column that hogs sold today In practically the same notch as yes terday , there being no change of nny ma terial account , nml a shade higher than uno week ago. The hogs sold today ns high as th y have nny time this month with one exception. A glance nt the tnblo of re- celnts will show that the arrivals BO far thin week arc considerably In excess of what they were last week. Representative sales : I No. Av. Sh. Pr. No. Av. Sin , Pr.
