In today s maiKet the lniluence which received must atientlou and dlscdsslou was the rate war on export grain rates, especially that pha.e ot It that concerns the lake tratllc from HurTalo. As the dispute Is wholly In re gard to the making of contracts on busi ness yet to come the tcrlmonv displayed is the more remarkable.

Some effect on stocks was also produced by the whispers sent around that the heavy drop In cotton and consequent speculative losses were going to result In financial troubles. These rumors were without veri fication. The difficulties of some of the insurance companies Involved in the Baltl misre fire awakened attention to the possi ble aftermath of that Are. - O-ermany con tributed a siory that the Russian govern ment was taking a strong attitude toward the British government In regard to the expedition Into Thibet and foreign stocks seemed to be moved by a rumored Albanian revolt. Whatever share these various In cidents may have had in the day's decline It was obvious that many were influenced by the fact that yesterday's attempt to lift prices had proved abortive, so that a movement downward was most available.

At some other markets, though, supplies were lim ited this morning, so that the total num ber of cattle in sight was not excessive. There were about sixty cars of comfed steers Included in the offerings and buy ers took hold of the better grades quite freely and the market on such kinds could safely be quoted strong to a dime higher. In other words, the desirable grades sold about as well as they did on Monday, the decline of yesterday being regained. When it came to the commoner kinds, however, there was not as much Improvement. The liberal receipts gave buyers a chance to ilscrlmlnate in favor of the good stuff, and as a result the warmed up kinds were neglected and but little better than yester day. As will be seen from the sales below the quality of rome of the cattle was fairly good, one bunch selling as high ss $5.00. The cow market slso was active and stronger, sales showing a gain of ss much ss a dime. The same as with steers the improvement wns most noticeable on the better grades and such kinds sold right around steady with Monday. The medium and common kinds, tiough, did not regain all of ysoterday's loss, though In most cases they sold a little stronger. The bulk of the early arrivals was disposed of in good season, hut owing to the late arrival of trains the day was well advanced be fore a clearance was made, the commoner kinds heing dull . Rulls sold fully steady with yesterday and so did veal calves and stags. The few stockers snd feeders that sr rived sold freely at fully steady prices where the quality was at all good. As high ss $4.00 was bald for some cnttle of gooa flesh and quality. Common stuff wns slow, the same as usual, but about steady. Representative sales: BKKr f i ttita. No. 1.... IB.... I.... I....

The mar ket opened weak to n nickel lower and n good many hints sold on that basis, as there did not seeni to be any chance of getting more money. The local demand, though, was apparently heavier than usual, and It soon lieiamo evident that there were none too many hniis cn sal to till orders. As a result salesmen held their droves for more money and trading soon became more active, with good weight hoas steady with yesterday's general market, the early decline having been regilned The lighter weights sold rather unevenly. In some cases they h.ousht as much as they would yestenlsv, while In others thev had to sell a little lower. The lluht weights sold mostly from tl9." down, good weights largely from $.". On to $." Of., nnd prime heavies from $5 05 up.
