In other words, there ere not enough killers In sight to make any te?t of the market. 80 ar as could be ob served, the demand was not very urgent, and moderate receipts ate greatly to be preferred from now on until after the first of the year. The fact Hint shippers are still flooding Chicago will have tt tendency to keep the markets down, not only iliore, but at the river as well. The Chicago Drovers' Journal remarked yesterday tint sheep at that point were selling the lowest of tile season. This fact In mentioned merely to thoiv that nothing can be trained by going by here to Chicago. Ihrre is only one thing for sellers to do and thnt is to wait until the demand revives again alter the Hint of the. year, when pines unquestionably will go as hlli as they have been any time. To sacrifice fat stuff by sending It to Chicago or any other mar ket at the present time would be the neigh or lollv. There seems to he a very good demnnd at thts point for feeders, and buyers soem to pay very fulr prices, as evidenced by the way the range stuff received this week was sold.

Yester day's Chicago Drovers' Journal said: "Heavy liquidation the laat week has sent ' the market 2&&40C lower and a considerable number of the $6,004)6.60 steers today were : cited by both the buyers and salesmen as selling 60c off from the high prices paid ror tnem Monday of last week. The same thing is true at this point, where prices on a good many ot the cattle are at least 50o lower than the high time. This morning the receipts were not quite so heavy, but trains were very late In arriving and the market was prolonged throughout the whole day. The opening was especially slow and during the morning It looked more like Sunday in the yards than like a Thursday. As to prices, it was hard to say, ,but with the trade drag ging It was hardly possible for them to be any better, and the general market might best be described aa slow and weak. Cows and heifers were also dull some ui inn uuyers oeing pretty wen ruled up i iiu no 1 idling, apparently, ior ao.dlUon.il supplies, at least not to any extent. The result was that cows and heifers were also slow and weak. No great change took place in the feeder trade, the market being in about the same vuiiuiiiuii as uuuineo yestercay.
