also advanced ir. Wlie.it, weakened hy Its
own governing Influenced, wim steadied by
corn and closed unchanged, oats closed a
tdiado higher and provisions closed nil
changed to 15c lower.
Corn was strong and higher from the
itnrt. Tho unsettled weather conditions
rendering still morn uncertain any In
creaso In the contract stocks, and the total
absence of contract com In today s nr
rivals or &17 cars revived anxiety among
hortn, who hecamo active hldders for both
December and May as tho serslnu
progressed, Chief Interest centered In tho
JJeccmher option. T i n was bid tin very
rapidly by ana prominent broker, who Is
credited with being heavily short, tho price

J'.vctt at that llgure there was 1 It e of.
crrd for sale. The decrease In the vislblo
mippiy or fa urn hti. he ned tiiu bull s tua
tlon. May in the meantlmn also showed
considerable strength, though having
jicriooH or comparative Depression. l)o

l."c 10 awc, closing w niglier at smie.

corn bringing good support. During tho

Oats were dull from start to Mulsh, busl
ress being conllned entirely to profes
Klonals. Selling by this element early In
tho session caused a slight decline, but tho
inarnei recovered later in sympathy with
wheat and corn. The country movement

ping demand. May ranged from ZZ'ic to

CATTLE There was a ery light supply
of cattle hero today, and In fact hardly
enough to make a market. Tho receipts of
corn-fed steers wero conllned to about live
cars, und those wero not what could be
called choice. Packers, however, bought
them up at Just about stead v prices with
Inst week. They wero tho kind that .aidl
from J4.75 to J3.00.
A dozen londs would cover the receipts of
cow stuff today, and while the best grade
did not show much of any change trade
was dull nnd tho tendency of prices lower
on tho medium kinds of cows. Big heavy
cows wero also very hard to sell and bids
wero genernlly a little lower than last week
dinners sold in about tho same notches
iney am on iTiuny.
Bulls of all kinds wero rather hard
dispose, or today, ns thero wero not m
buyers for feeders nnd tiackers did
seem to bo particularly anxious for killers,
veni caives ueiu nuout steady,
Thero wero only a few feeders offered
tno market today and they Bold nt p
tlcullv unchnnKcd nrlccs. The demand
sulllclent to take all that wero offered nnd
everything was out of nrst hands In gotnl
season. This would apply to stock cows
and heifers as well ns to tho steers, and
also to stock calves.
The samo as has been tho case of late
there wero very few western range cattle
on sale -today. Those that wero offered sold
about steady with last week, with tho ex
ception of some of tho medium kinds of
cows, which possibly wero a llltlo lower.

uiiM,iiiiiiit iii in tun cituiea ana inn appear
ance of moro cotton at tho points than
anticipated. As receipts were lurge tho
timid holders sold out, believing a sham
further setback would occur before tho
ciose. uui louowing tno call a slight Im
provement resulted from room covering and
jierKlsteut buying for southern uccount, the
latter snld to bo against largo oversales In
tho New Orleans market. During the after
noon hour tho market settled decidedly
under another spurt of selling from nil
quarters, which hut! for its Incentive largo
estimates for tomorrow's receipts at New
Orleans und Houston and reports that con
siderable lines of cotton had been shipped
from New Orleans tn Now York for con
tract delivery. Trading during tho rest of
