CATTLE There wero n ifood many cnttlo
hero today for this tlmo of tho week and
as all points were quoted lower the feel
ing nt tnis point wus uiso weuK. uuycrs
did not start out until lato, so the morn
ing was well advanced before much of
anything changed hands.
Receipts did not Include very many corn
fed steers, but still practically all kinds
wero a little lower toduy than yesterday
nnd tho market wns very slow. Some of
the moro desirable grades were perhaps
not very much lower, but aside from thoso
It was a dull, weak market.
The cow market was also slow ana lower.
Buyers did not seem to bo particularly
anxious for supplies today and as tho
rocelpts were liberal they took their tlmo
about filling their orders. They bought up
the better grades at prices that wero not
so very much lower than yesterday, but
medium kinds and canners wero slow salo
and unevenly lower. In n good many In
stances sellers found It a ilifllcult propo
sition to dispose of what they had at any
price.
I no niarKOi on nuns, veui cuivca ami
i nun was also slow and weak, particu
larly ou the less desirable grades.
Thero was a bettor demand for dcslrahlo
crndes of stockers and feeders than usunl
and prices wero fully stendy. A big string
of Colorado came soia ns uign ns
which was considered a good, steady price.
Common cattle, howovcr, wero noglectcd
and In most cases sold a llttlo lower than
eBtcrday. itepresentniivo saiea;

that tho supplies of copper to Europe from
sources outside this country havo In
creased, havo Jointly caused a falllnu off In

Arm price, u largo proportion of tho los
nrlslng from the decrenso of exports has
been borne by tho companies whose shares
are owned wholly or Iu part by the Amal
gamated Copper company. This policy has
in tho past been the bPst for tlieso com
panies, us tnc portion or me copper which
has been sold has realized a lareer nrotlt
than would have been realized If nil tho
Conner which lunl been produced hnd been
sold nt n much lower price. It has like
wise presented iiuctuntiuus 111 price wnicn
would tend to demoralize the tiiislnes of
manufacturers consuming copper.
Tho ofllclnls fo these various companies,
after carefully considering the sltuntlon
In nil Its phases, decided that it would bo
ucucr ior 1110 intresis 01 ine company nicy
represented to refrain from forclnc unon

needed, ns. sucn action would only iinvo
led to nbnormnllv low nrlces. Tho selllmr

During tho present month tho T'nlted
