With a three aay Holiday tnie. vai in prospucl there waa no disposition to enter upon any new commitments to be left to the naaara of unexpected developments at a time wnen action or security hoiti lngs wouid be hampered. The usual t-n-uenry at sued a lime la rather to reduce commitments. Ho lar aa the proceia was followed today the Impression waa let of very email speculative commitments in the the market to be retired. It waa tne small est day a buslneae of the year and prices moved only with the greatest sflort by the room traoers. The special weakness of I'oion Pacific which has been the feature oi the recent market waa no longer In evidence, althouin the resumption of tne trading on Monday Is likely to And the dreaded Interstate Commerce commission Inquiry in force again. The pressure agalnat tne ttill stuck seemed to be prompted by the eut spoken assertion of tne head of these prop erties that a reaction In buwtneaa which baa been vaguely argued as pis?lMe In recent stock market discussion had ac tually set In. The weakness of the group seemed not to be mitigated by the fact that Mr. Hill waa Inclined to except the northwestern territory from the held of the reaction which he perceives to have aet In; or by the fact that he regards the reaction as a means of relief front some of the embarrassments In the money situ ation aa well as of other strained railroad conditions. Reading waa under pressure on reiterated rumors of an Intended note Is sue, which were without any confirmation during the day. The news from Washing ton that the general beard of the navy had been In conference over the national defense waa of some effect In keeping alive a vague misgiving over the possible results of the California school difficulty with Japan. The likelihood cf a poor bank return to appear before stock market operations are resumed was taken account of. The banks eeem to be galnina; thus far this week on the Interior movement, but not sufficiently so to offset the withdrawals by the sub treasury. The outcome of the discussion of the Aldrlch currency bill also may change the current of Influences In the market. The Bank of England weekly re tuma today clearly showed the cohtlmied control of the money market bv that Instl- m- stste. tution. chiefly by the larse Increase In ov- and mlxea ernment deposits, which serve to decrease f. a. ret K r 4s ceiisoe C. a. te. re 4e eospoe 17. 8. si4 4s. r. as cespoa v. a. s. . fx... as Asi T.s. 4s o l Atrhlsoe res. 4sv.. 4 4J. 4 AtUntlo C.

M ?ai a. i It HI SHEEP The sltnalkn In the sheep mar ket this mornirs wss not to the lik.ng .f the s-lllng Intereii's h r f"'m reason or other, more likely for a variety of reasons, mutton has not been aolng Into consumption ss rapidly as neceesiry to prevent accumulation. In other w rds theep snd lsnihs have been coining to mar ket faster than consumers would bur the mutton hence eastern mutton markets are more or lees glutted, with the reejlt that prices sf decidedly loaer. In nuequence tf this the different sheep msrkets of the country have been showing weakness dur ing the last three days snd the tend-ncy of values has been lower. At this pint. with moderate receipts, rr ces rtsve ren well maintained until they kre dedledly too hiah as compared with other large msrkets. Buyers this morning did hot heltate In saying that prices would have to cm down at this point until they were more nearly In line wllh those prevaillVg at other prices. At the same time the de mand ana not as brisk sa usutl. with the result -that the market opened very slow and dU. Only eight cars were In sight when It wss time for the msrket to nnen. m tt of the reported stuff being still bark. The late arrival or trains contributed still more to the dullness prevailing In the msr ket. When the market did open prices were generally l'Hilic lower. Under present conditions there Is only one thing for feeders to do and that is to hold their sheep and lambs bark until packers have been given time to clean up tne surplus mutton alieady on hand at consuming points. At least nothing but strictly well finished sheep and iambs should be marketed. Lve.ythlng on the common to medium order should be held back until finished. Nothing can be gained by shipping by this point, as prices sre higher here la proportion than anywhere else. guotstions on killers: Good to choice lambs, $7.uc4j7.25; fair to good lambs. $S.75 tjTOf, good to choice yexrnn.s. lamb weights, $o.OOj.2S; fair to rood ysarllngs, lamb weignts, 4n.7oy4.00; SJOU to choics ysarllngs. hesvy weights, t5.;5i4.0u: fair ta good yearlings, hedvv weichto. $5 54i5 7A; good to choice old wethers. $d 4o5.0: fair to good old wethers, $5 24-46.40; good to choice ewes, $5.uOC5.K; lair to good. $4 50 (16 OA RCDresentatlve salsa: No. 44 western ewes Sf5 Colorado ewes 2a western ewes 4;t Colorado ewes 114 Colorado wethers fed) western wethers ?4M western yesrllngs 25 western yearlings 5tl western lambs 2t1 western lambs 171 western ewes 50 western yearlings al western lam ha 3nl western lnmbs , l'O western lambs 16 western lambs 75 western lambs 7. 7c; "-antoe.

There seemed to be a fair demand for beer steers, and packers, as a general thing, were looking for desirable killers. Tbev naemed wlillna to pay fully steady prioes and salesmen as a ruie wcr. auuuiit the market that way. Still, there waa a better feeling to the trade, and sellers who had the kind that buyers happened to want In some cases thought they secured prices that were, tf anything, a uttie oei , .. - n v.al.rilBV The market closed very alow and weak on tha less desirable gradss of beef . steers. which were more or less neglected by buy ers throughout the day. In fact buyers did not at any time appear very anaiuue mr anything axcept tho better gradea. Cows and heifers were In fair demsnd this morning and the market opened fully Bteady. The trade was alow, aa a good many of the trains were back. Prices generally were steady. There waa no great change in the feeder market. In spite of the fact that there were a good many cattle In the bands of operators and a pretty fair run for the current dsy. This would apply more espe cially to the better grades of feeders. When It came to anything on the common or medium order the trade was Inclined to drag and the fe'llng waa weak. Representative sles: OM4H4 WHOirSAl.K MARKET.
