considerably unsettled. Trier was a dis

The Von Dorn Grain company, through
Prlngle, Kltoh & llankln, received news
from Argentina saying the harvest has been
delayed by rains In ninny parts.
According to the Tribune a Chieag com
mission house baa sent out the following:
"We are of the opinion speculation will
make Its appearance In grains after Janu
ary 1. Stocks in New York and Boston
have held the stage for a good many
months. The money situation, us we see
It, will tend to restrict operations In tills
district, as It seems unlikely rates will
reach a normal basis within sixty days.
Wheat, corn and oats have been neglected,

as conditions the world over are such aa
to warrant a material advance all along
the line."

ceipts were 621 cars with llH cars of con

I'rgent demand by shorts caused a sharp
bulge In the price of oats for December
delivery. The prices for that option was
bid up from S'sc, the opening limitation,
to Sue before any quantity was offered for
sale. At that price, however, many of
the longs took profits, which brought about
a quick reaction. Closing quotations were

There was much discussion of the effect
on sentiment of the December charges for
Interest, which will go out to the customeri
of Stock exchange commission houses next
week, and w hich, It la believed, will discloso
a high average if carrying charges. Little
attention nas paid to the bank statement,
which conformed pretty closely to expedi
tions In the cash change. The heaviest
lending by the banks is supposed to have
been d ino toward the end. of the week and
thus would have a diminished effect In the

II. e run Ur tne pieMous week. However,
the laci that Monday was a holiday proUi
oiy served to cut tue sis ot the locetpls

limited, ihe packers were not buyin
much except as they needed It for then

light on all kinds ot meat. The houda
season and the weather conditions, coupled

has cut the demand for meats.
There have been but lew feeders on the
market this Week and these few sold
leudily at steady prices. The range season
is over und the only kind to be had from

CATTLE There was the usual Insignifi
cant Saturday's run of cattle today and
not enough of any consequence to make a
market. Supplies for the week have also
been light every day. the totul reaching
8, ma) head, as against 18,2:12 head last week, j
The run was also a trifle smaller for the
same week one year ago. There has been
considerable warmed-up or short-fed and
common cattle on the market, with only
a few loads of really good to choice long
fed stock.
The market for cattle has been In de
cidedly unsatisfactory shape all week and
the trend of prices has been lower from
start to finish. Monday was a holiday and
no trading was done on that day, and this,
combined with the holiday seuson, lias
cut the supply down. The mild weather
conditions, coupled with the generous sup
ply of game and poultry to be had, has
cut down the demand for fresh meat, with
the result that packers have nut been
wanting much of a supply of beef cattle.
Then, too, the quality of the offerings has
been quite common all through the week.
Fortunately, while the demand has been
small, the supply has also been rather
light, with the result that prices have not
slumped aa much as they might have, had
there been a liberal run. Packers have
been decidedly bearish at all times, so
that the week closes with prices on beef
sieers 1542Sc lower for the week.
The market on cows and heifers has been
In Just about the same condition as the
beet steer trade. The run has been light,
also the demand. The quality of the offer
ings consisted largely of warmed-up and
common cattle most of the time, packers
appeared to have about all this kind of
stock that they cared for and forced prices
down some, but not to the same extent
as on beeves. Trading lias been dull und
drsggy ai a decline of 10015c.
The market on stockers and feeders has
been In a little belter condition. There lias
be n a moderate supply and the quality
ot the offerings has been pretty fair. There
has been a good demand for any itood to
choice stockers and feeders and the week
closes with an advance shown. The mar
ket nn this kind of cattle has really been
In a good healthy condition all week and
the close today Indicates that this Kind of
stuff is strong to a dime higher than last
week's close.
HOGS lucre was a moderate run of
hogs on the market this morning, lo2 cars,
about 7.0u0 head being reported In up to
noon. The receipts for the week totul
about 39.036 head, which Is smaller than
last week by about 22.872 head, while on
the other hand this week's run Is larger
than for the corresponding week lai-t year
by about 9,941 head. The receipts today
are smaller than last Saturday by 1.2U0 l.eud
and also small-r than for the name day
one year ago by about 3,n"0 head. Trading
this morning opened brisk and active with
prices generally a dime higher. Later the
market eased off a little and iradlmj was
somewhat dull. Good choice heavyweight
hogs, however, were given the preference
over light stuff. Some light weight hogs
sold at prices that were hardly more than
