so good and ihe largo holdings are sllll In
such slrong hands that the market resisted
boar assaults nnd presented a hard and
unyielding surface , even at. points whcro
realizing w.is going on. .
Yesterday's sttongih In National Steel
gave way to realizing today and the metal
group of stocks was without any conspicu
ous leadership. Norfolk * Western wn.s a' o
sold to toke profits all d.iy. afler an open
ing tlse of a point , but refused to yield below -
low last nleht's lovol. Tennessee Co.ins !
forced down at one tlmo 3Vi per cent. The
boars centered tholr ntt.i.-i < on Susar and
had that stock down al one time lo 10S' . .
Rumois Ihal the rollnorlcs wore lovii't
down and overproduction to bo worked off
at a loss lieu red In the manipulation. But
In the meantime aggressive Inlying move
ment developed in the trunk llnossJod by
Pennsylvania ; the coalers , led by Reading
first preferred on Ihe decision to pay a divi
dend , and In Iho grangers and westerns. led
by .St. Paul and Atchlson. both common
and preferred. The Baltimore .t Ohlos also ,
after a pause of a day to dlgosl profit tak
ing , renewed thu advance. The progress
loward extension of holdings by the great
railroad systems of lesser and competing
sys'ems had much to do with the strength
ot" Pennsylvania and other lines supposed
to bo In process of absorption. The coming
advance In the tldewalcr freight rates on
'bituminous coal was also an element. In
the outside market there was an advance of
over 3 points , to 343 , In the price of Stand
ard Oil on the declaration of a dividend of
20 per cent for the quarterly period. Last
year's dividends were G , 12 , 5 and 10 per
cent , respectively , for the four quarters.
There were also activity nnd strength In
Amalgamated Copper. The closing of ( ho
market was active and strong at about Ihe
top.Tho
The bond market showed Increased activ
ity and general strength. Total yiles , par
value , $3,025.000. United Stales 3s advanced
H and the new 4s 14 in the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : African mines
opened 'blazing here today , the markets be
ing full of a rumor-that Ladysmitli had been
reiiloved and thai 7,000 Boors had been ca.i-
tured at Colosburg. The olher Oepnrtments
inrllclpaled In the rise , though business wa.-s
small. 1 here was no confirmation of any of
Ihe rumors and prices fell nway after "
o'clock. Consols , which were 10114 , closed at
101. Americans maintained their strength.
The continent and arbltrase houses bought
freely , though there was hardly any London
account and New York support made the
close at top prices. The chief feature was
Norfolk & Western , on the theory that that
road would bo amalgamated with the Balti
more & Ohio or the Pennsylvania. Paris
Is still buyinc tlntos and Anacondas and
many. I < or South Africa 21,000 was taken
The Influx was not cxDcctcd. It Is thou.ht
thai the bank will reduce the buying prices
on German account. iMoney and bills were
y'ent ' " "chanced rates. The Bank of the
Nelherlands reduced Its minimum discount
rate from 4 lo 314 per cent. Paris cheque
was 21.1814 ; Berlin , 20.43.

OATTI..I5 Yesterday's cattle market was
10ttl5c lower as reported , and today the.
cattle sold about Mcady at th , t decline.
That Is , the cattle today were sold In about
the same notches as yesterday.
There were not far from forty loads of
cornfed steers In the yards , a good many
of them short fed stuff , but still there were
some pretty fair cattle among the offer
ings. The market on all good kinds was
steady , but the feeling on zonunon and
undesirable stuff was weak. The market
was reasonably active , so that the most
of the cattle changed hands early In tht\
forenoon. Shippeis must understand that
at the present time It takes right good cat
tle to bring $5.40. Cattle are now selling
15'a20c lower than the good time last week.
Cow.i and heifers seemed to be In pretty
lair demand at steady prices , and practically
everything changed hands In reasonably
good season. Uuyers seemed to want good
cows and heifers and were out looking for
them. Hulls were a little weak , and for
two days can safely be quoted lOc lower.
Veal calves were scarce and the market
strong , so much so that the best brought
$7.25.
The stocker and feeder market was Just
about steady early , but later on speculators
did not appear quite so anxious for the cat
tle and the market closed slow and lower.

a fair market. Prices were Jut't about
steady with yesterday and there was no
quotable change In the market. Belle.rs

on for strons prices so that file market
was not especially active , still practically
everything was disposed of In good seapon.
The sales will show the prices paid for the
different kind of sheep and lambs on sale.
