reueclivn of events upon the mvvement of
prices. 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

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.

ceipts are close to three times as Urge aa
they ware lor me correnpuuunia
last week, aa wen aa oemg taaiu.uij
i.r.M thttn m. veax aao.
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.
