NI3\V YORK , April 21. Trading was of a.
listless sort today nnd except for an early
spurt In the specialties prices drooped to
the end , when the tone was weak. Smart
recessions appeared In many stocks , while
most of the active list was lower. No very
serious considerations seemed to bo given
to the protest of the German ambassador
against the utterance * or a naval officer
Just returned from Manila. The strength
of sterling exchange attracted some atten
tion , continuing as It does In spite of
comparative easiness of money , which
ranged from 3 to 4 per cent for call loans.
The favorable bank statement of Saturday
failed to arouse a noticeable liicrr-ase In
outside Interest In the market and the
bears accordingly reasoned that It was op
portune to try some short ventures.
Anaconda mining was very i'trong ' , rising
8 points , only 1 point of which it lost before
the close. The advance In Anaconda was
associated with reports of some > deal In
connection , with a. copper combination.
Moreover , copper advanced abroad. lyjn-
don was a seller of some 30,000 shares of
stock mid selling came from New Englaml
and the west as well as from romei large
traders who recently had been heavy pur
chasers.
Commission business was wry light.
Crop uncertainties may account for the
hc.Mtn.ncy In. th ? market and private crop
advices were said to have been received
which were not altogether favorable. This
received soma credence because of the firm
ness of the wheat market. The market
was altogether uninteresting and almost
featureless
Irregularity cropped out today In the bond
market , but the chances generally were
narrow and there was a consistent de
mand for the newer Issues at Improved
prlc ? . Total sales , $3,903,000. United
States new 4s , coupon , and the os , coupon ,
advanced ' 4 per cent and the 5s. regis
tered , % per cent In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram Bays : The markets
hero were Idle today exwpt for mines and
coppers. The tendency was .to . dullness.
The Philippine news caused realizing sales
by recent American bulls and prices stead
ily sagged , closing heavy at the bottom.
Kxcentlons were Norfolk & Western and
Denver & Rio Grande preferred , which ivero
both bought herii and by New York. Cop
pers were the feature. New York sent quo-
tatlons on Anancondas at IHg and they
closed near 12 , principally on American
buying in the afternoon. Tlntos were 46 % .
Spanish 4s were 5D. Fifty-four thousand
pounds gold In bars were bought by the
bank. liulllon dealers expect silver to bo
twl.-ted up twin on the smelters' combina

CATTISH Conditions were decidedly
against the sellers of fat cattle this morn
ing , as both Chicago and Kansas Oily came
lower , wlille the run wan largo at Chicago.
Under the Influence of the general break In
valuta buyers at this point took off BlflOc ,
the market being rather uneven and slow.
Choice little cattle which just happened to
please buyers did not experience much
change and the most of them were disposed
of In good season. Dig heavy and coars ;
westerns wore at the other extreme and
they suffered the most decline , being as a
rule lOo lower. While the movement to
ward the scales was a little slow , as Is apt
to be the case when the market Is lower. It
was mniclcntly aotlvc to effect u reasonably
early clearance.
Cows and hMfers , as was the case all last
week , were In very light supply and the
market was active- and full1 steady. In
fact , cow stuff Is selling just as high as ever
In spite of the break on fat cattle. Bulls
also sold In the same nntclps as at the close
of last week. Veal calves were , in good de
mand at llrm prices.
In the Htncker and feeder division the
situation was against sellers. Tlifrc wi-ro
not many cuttle , in llrst hands , nor were the
holding of speculators largi- , but regular
buyi'is all had a few , while there was prac
tically no country demand. As a result
.speculators would not Increas ; .their . hold
ings unless they could got n good liberal
concession. Sellers were calling the market
. -ijl tin- way from IPc to 23c lower than the
middle of last week , according to the kind
of cattle they had. As t'he arrivalsof that
kind of cattle are so small it would not re
quire much of a demand to put prices back
again. Representative sales :

HOGS lioth Chicago and Kansas City
camu lOe lower this morning , and as a
still further bear argument the receipts
nt this point were the heaviest for a Mon
day slnco last December , lie-sides that the
prospect seemed to favor large receipts for
Tuesday. To ott'set tho-o bear JnlliieneoH
Ihero was a very good local demand , with
the result that the market at South Omaha
wa only Cu lower. The market was rea
sonably active at the decline noted and
overythliiK was sold and weighed up In
good season. The hogs .sold at } 3.K 3.75 ,
