That stock was still a central figure and Its spectacular rise of yesterday whs an in Hue nee which caused the violent and revcrlsh speculation In other stocks today. The prollt-taklna in Union TacUle. how ever, was steady and persistent, and this nau an ultimate enect on tne wnoie mar ket, w hich showed signs of languor towards the end of the day. The official clrculur announcing the terms for redistribution of the Northern Securi ties holdings of Great Northern and North ern Pacific stocks gave no direct ground for yesterday s excited lump in Union Pa cific. The supposition that any contest for control in the transcontinental field had broken out again waa belled by the firm ness of tho rest of the market. The theory was much more plausible that the buying of Union Pacific was to secure an Influen tial noiuing on the part of the controlling powers In tha Great Northern and North. ern Paclllc in compensation for Union Pa cific's Influence In Great Northern, North ern Pacific and Burlington. The persistence of the profit-taking In Union Pacific undor- minea me market and only fractional gains were left at the last where there had been the principal strength, while the average level of prices was below Inst nlirht'a nlo. lng..

As a result there was a rood strong demand at tMs point and trad ng ruled active with prices averaging a tihnde stronger. The aame aa has been the caae of late corn-fed steers made up tha, blgr end of the receipts, and the quality was nothing to brag of. Buyers, though, - took hold freely and the kinds that aulted them were strong, with some sales a<Oo - higher. Other kinds, though, were not much more than ateady. Tidy, blocky cattlo of cood quality sell to the best advantage and tha advance this morning waa confined largely to that class Plain cattle, no matter if they were fat, did not show any quotable change, r.elther did thin cattle. Buyers seem to be looking more at quality than tney nBVe tor some little time. It was not hard this morning, thous-h. to sell most any kind of cattle nt steady prices, so the duik or tne arrivals was disposed or lit goftd seaaon. . Tha cow market 'was also active and stronger, with handy weight cows and heirers or goon Mesh and quality safely 5ff) 10c higher. Big heavy cows as well aa the commoner kinds of nil weights did not ahow much Improvement over yesterday's prices, but there was a better demand and aalesmen found it easier to dispose of the undesirable grades than has been the cse of late. Trading waa quite active and tho early offerings were soon out of first hands. The bull market continued dead dull with no improvement In prices. There were a good many on aale and the demand waa very limited and aa a result salesmen had considerable difficulty to dispose of what they had at aallsfactory prices. Veul calves were active and steady. There was no quotable change In the prlcea paid for atockera and feeders. Re ceipts were not particularly heavy and anything nt all choice Bold freely at ateidv prices. Others not ao brisk, but about steady. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. At. Pr. No. A.

The market here opened stronger on the light butcher hogs, or those weighing from about 200 M 840 pounds. Such hogs sold as high US 85, but It was mostly the shippers that were bidding the stronger prices. After they had their orders filled local packers would not give over steady prices and the bulk of the hogs had to sell on about that basis. Trading waa not very active, as salesmen thought they ought to get more money. The moat of the butcher and good weight hogs aold from 84.HO to 85, with prime load3 from 85 to 85.10. The top price today was paid for a very fancy heavy load. Light trashy loads so.d from 81.80 down. Repre sentative sales: No. at. go. Pr. No. At. Eh. rr. 94 ll ...

In fact, some of the kinds that Just aulted buyers were In some In stances a little stronger, but on the other hand the commoner kinds were hard to sell at steady prices. Trading was quite active so that the bulk of the early ar rivals was aold In good seaaon. Some ewes sold as high as 84.30, and wethers and yearlings mixed sold for 84.80. There were no strictly choice straight wethers or yearlings on sale. The lamb market was again dull, except in the case of strictly choice. Aa high as 85.50 was paid thla morning for some well finished lamba. but tha Inferior grades were dull and barely steady.
