British securities rotmed. owing to lack of support al though the Bank of England secured $3,600, 000 In gold in the open market. Americans opened steaoy ana naraenea to over parity, but profit-taking caused a setback at about noon ana tne mantel became auu. Lnter the New York advices caused a weaken tnar of values and the close was weak at a shade above the lowest quotstlons or the nay. cnicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul re sisted the decline and finished steady. Foreigners were dull. DeBeers showed the most strength among the mining securi ties. Japanese Imperial 6s of 1904 closed at HI. BERLIN. Dec. 17.

In spite of that fact, slili'r r'oured In their sheep and Ismlta this inorn r:g. so that the receipts tixlay were Just as heavy aa a week ago. making it a g,,l liberal run. whereas I'.nht receipts were greatly to be preferred. In spite of the fact that Chloago closed last week 6" li ,'. lower than the bet time on both sheep and lambs, shippers flooded that market also, the receipts at that point being very heavy today. It Is not easy to see lust why shippers are so anxious to sacrl'lce their holdings at the pres. nt time, when there Is every prospect for there being an active demand at much higher prices rlgli. after the holidays. Among the rec Ipts at thla point today waa a lame sprinkling of Idaho aheep and lambs, which had been held In the vicinity of Idaho Falls for the lack of cars In which to snip them. The market opened with lambs of good quality In fair demand and quite a bunch of Idaho rangers, which had been held In beet fields while awaiting shipment, sold up to $7 00. Packers did not appe.ir to cure for anything but the bet, so that the medium grades were neglected so far as they were concerned. There were, however, quite a number of feeder lambs for which there was a fair demand and they too sjKI at about last week's prices. Sheep were slow throughout the day. anil while some sales looked pretty nearly steady others were as much as 10o lower. The general tendency of the market was lower.

Trains however, were very late In arriving at tho yards, so that It was pretty wed along toward mid-day before tht receipts were all In. Af the same time that receipts were iaro si mis point, micago ana otner mar keif as well had bis- runs, maklna tha sun ply at the leading markets larger than re quired at the present time. As noted be fore in these columns, the demand lust previous to the holiday season Is limited more or less to the better grades. The fact mat a very large proportion of the popula, tlon Indulges In poultry during the holiday season cuts off a good deal of the consum ing demand ror Leer, hence the demand ror the general run or medium to fair boef cattle Is much smaller Just before the holidays than usual. ihe receipts at this point consisted or a world ot warmed-up hair-fat grades and as trains were late, as noted above, the iorenoon waa wen advanced berore any business or conseuuence waa transacted. When buyers did get down to business the trade was slow. They picked out some of the cattle that just happened to suit them at prices that were not so much lower, but the general market might be described as auu 10 10c lower. The yards were full or cows and heifers. but the trade on that kind or cattle waa also slow and the market wss dull to 100 lower throughout. The lower prices ore vailing at Chicago naturally had a great Influence on the market at this point. Quite a food many feeders were carried over In the hands or speculators, so that the demand lor rresn supplies tins morning was not as brisk as usual . Buyers seemed to have use ror a few good cattle, but were very much Inclined to neglect any thing else, so that there was leas life and activity to the feeder trade than for some little time DacK. ties graoea were 10c lower, with othera loc lower.
