From the Record-Herald: The whcit trade has begun to look with about eiii,il Interest for signs of liquidation of the bin northwestern line of..hort wheat nnd the large eastern line -of long wheat. The lat ter has been hanging; over the market for soms time and has exerted a depressing Influence. The Improved tone In the wheat market yesterday, apparent through conti nental Europe, as well as In this country and Canada, turned the attention of the trade, temporarily at least, to the big line of northwestern short wheat existing here and at Minneapolis. The bear interest fought vigorously In both markets yes terday, but without success. The advanro at Minneapolis during the first half of the session was very slow, prices there going up only c, while Duluth was advancing over lc. Late In the session, howcer. the Minneapolis market ran away from the shorts and bobbed up almost as much as Duluth." Local range of options: extras, 18c cheese. prime firsts. ijc llrm st lMiUitc.

The rang of prices, as furnished by F. D. Day 61 Co, 110-111 Board of Trade building, was: vviv Viiitw Anril K The stringency In the tnonev market was unrelieved today and Indeed showed evidences of aggrava tion. The effect was 10 paralyse specu lative activity In the stock market. Larly In the day there was some show of ani mation and a marking up of prices In an apparent effort to revive speculative In terest and keep prices moving upwards. The attempt was almost entirely abandoned as soon ss the loaning operations for the day began. The selling pressure, how ever, was singularly free from urgency and the effect on prices was slight. The argument Is heard In this connection that the Indifference of the market to the high rates for coal loans is evidence of the equipment of the active parties to the speculation with money resources secured In time loans, wnicn leaves nn.ii"ii .... the exigencies of the call loan market. Vricea of stocks have been held at an average level considerably above that at the close of last week, annougn in in mum money rate on each successive day has mounted to a higher level. Last week s speculation was bssd largely on the con fidence that any flurry there might be In money would be temporary and would pass the worst on Monday. It Is hardly suffi cient explanation of the indifference to the money rate renectea in tne mi" today, that speculative holders are supplied with time funds, in view of the very active borrowing which occurs at the Stock ex change day after day and the eager bid ding which carries the call loan rate up with fevensn fluctuations. iumj . rate reached 15 per cent by noon and 30 per cent before the close. Discussion cen tered entirely in tne money siiuanuo. n ,-. n a nrrnl itorlna- the early part Of the day of an engagement of several million dollars gold for Import, ine orani on local bank reserves continued largo to dav. Transfers through the subtreasury were made of $500,000 to San Francisco and of $400,0(10 to New Orleans. The movement Is supplemented by express umpmrnm ui currency and the sumreasury aosorpiiun continues large on account of customs col lections. These conditions leave no room for mystery over the stringency of the money market. Other considerations were Ignored. Reports of Intended concessions bv the anthracite miners In their demands and the declaration of an Initial dividend on the preferred stock of the Missouri, Kansas Texas company were 01 boboi. offsetting effect.

Sellers, however, were slow to make that much concession and by holding on Anally forced buyers to raise their bands some what. The hogs finally sold on the basis of a 2c decline, that Is, at $6 ?ofii.22. for the big bulk of the hogs, with $6.-0 the popular price.

As has been the case all the week, the big end of the receipts consisted of beef steers, there being quite a number of right desirable cattle In sight. While the total receipts were not large for a Thursday, there have been a good many fat cattle received and sold this week, so that buyers seem to be on easy street, so far aa fresh supplies were con cerned. At the same time reports from eastern market points were not especially reassuring and buyers were very much dis posed to take tne Dear siae 01 me ueat. The result was a slow market on beef steers, with prices anywhere from weak to 10c lower than yeaterday. It was late be fore a start was made and still later be fore anything like a cleaiance was effected. Cows and heifers were In moderate sup ply, as has been the case all thla week. The market was also In about the aame condition as detailed yesterday and day before in these columns that Is, ' good to choice cows and heifers were fully steady and were aought after by buyers, so thst holders of such had no trouble In unload ing. On the other hand, tanners and cut tersthat Is, anything old and thin or rough were slow sale at any price, buy ers not appearing to want them. As has been the case every day this week, It toot a struggle on the part of holders of such to unload. Blockers and feeders In first hands were in moderate supply, which was rather for tunate for the selling interests, as specu lators seemed to have quite a good many cuttle on hand and as the week is draw ing toward the close. As It happened, the desirable kinds of both stockera and feed ers did not show any material change, but anything that was not desirable wai slow and weak. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS.

The reason was to be found In the fact that some very high prices were paid yesterday and buy era seemed to feel that the prices prevail ing In the east did not Justify them. The further fact that the quality was on an average none too good helped to make a alow market. The result was that the trade not only became very dull, but closed easier. As noted yesterday quite a number of shorn sheep and lambs are coming forward, the sheep selling about $1 a hundred lower than wool grades snd lambs $1.0l)fL2S lower.
