The wheat market today opened firm on the strength of higher, markets st Liver pool, which were based upon reports of rains, which are Interfering with harvesting in Argentina.

It bein as usual 011 Saturday a holiday In the catHe division. Ti.e receipts fur tho wK have been quite liberal, snowing a slight tain over the pirevtous week, but still there has been a falling 01T of about lO.tMo head as compared witli the corresponding week last yfcar. The arrivals havo consisted very largely of natives and fed weaterns. Willi quite a little sprinkling of rsnge stuff. The fed catties have been almost entires on the warrued up order, there being; very few fctrl-j'ly good killers received. The week started out about steady on beef steers and during the first two days the trade was In pretty fair shape, al though the demand was not sufficiently urgent to make a good active market, on Wednesday and 'luursday prices went dow n hill very rapidly and Friday s market was very Weak. Thus at the close' it is safe to quote the general market 26c lower than a week ago. The highest price paid for beef steers during the week was 45.75 for on lot of very cl-oice Christmas cattle. The fact tltal It tai:os very good, well finished cattle to bring o.40 will give some Idea of t-ie condition of tke market. Packers complained that the consuming demand Is very poor, in all sections of ttie country and the fact that they do not appear to want very many cattle would seem to bear out their statements. The feeling at the close of the week Is by no means encourag ing ana at present writing mere is noiiung In slgnt to- warrant a belief In any very material or lasting improvement in the market. Light runs for several days in succession as a matter of course might lead to a sham reaction In nrlces. but such reaction could hardly be expected to he permanent. VI net use ueeii ssuu leaguing urci n-ri. would apply In the main to the cow and heifer trade. There seemed to be a very fair demand for the better grades of fat cows, such as are selling fiom 33.2o and upwards, but the t rude all the week lias been very slow and dull on the common to medium kinds, closing 25c lower than last week, - The fsde In Blockers and feeders this week has been the dullest and most un satisfactory of the season. With the fat cattle maraet in such a discouraging condi tion and with the price of corn Jitgh feeders must necessarily have lots of nerve to buy cattle even at prevailing low prices. That the number having the courage is comparatively small was thoroughly proven tins wees, in oemana lor xeeuers ai.u Blockers cattle having been very light. As a result cattle of that description have de clined In the same proportion as fat cattle, the market being i&c lower at the close of the week on the fair to good kind. The summon light cattle have been extremely hard to sell at euu lower prices. ouotatlons on cattle: ijood to choice coin-fed steers, f4.8m6.60; fair to good corn-ted steers, f4.354 tj; common to fair corn-fed steers, f3 2&H-4.36; good to choice range steers, H-Ovdt.oO; fair to gnod range steers, 33.4ku4.oo; common to fair range Leer. 11.

HOGS Hogs opened 25c lower than yes terday ruurniiig, with other market points r.-poiting as large or larger declines. 11 was one ot lhot cases wliei nothing could be gained by holding on aj.d sellers ac cordingly cut loose in pretty fair season In the .i.ornlng. The early trade was fauiy active at the decline noted. 1 he hogs sold mostly between 94.2V and H.Jo Hal la. very largely al ana rigui around l 12 while yeairrday morning the most popular range was $.50"i4.62H- Although the re ceipts were uiuclt lurgor than expected, being the heaviest of any day aliut Sep teuioer 10, tha balk changed hands before Id o clock In the morning. As sou as tne more urgent orders were filled the traue slowed up, becoming dull and weak at tne de l.ne. 1 he total receipts for the week foot up 4T.,w4 head, being the largest since the financial disturbance started and slightly larger than for the corrvapouduig wees of a year ago. Tha market lias been wild and erratic during the whole week. It started out -with -er sharp decline, which was followed up eo Tuesuay, carrying the ma rite I to a point Juu lower than the close of the previous weea. On Wednesday ai d Thursday tbe ruaraet shot upward, alio. rig an advance for tne two d of J1H'. Yes lerday and today the market went down Willi even mole rapidity. Hie lose in the two days amounting on an average to not far from 4vC. Thus the Week cloaca at the low point, belit; tdko lower than the close of last werg and the lowest of any tune since November 27. Representative sales: Came. . 4.Tfl .
