NEW YORK, lec. 3. The constant fluc
tuation of prices In today's stock market
made It puxxllng to discern til prevailing
tone of the speculation.
The pressure to sell was much less pro
pounced than late yesterday. This fart
formed the basis for some efforts to get
prices to a high level, which as often were
frustrated by the dying out of the demand
as prices got deerer. Lm the occaalonal de-
llne there develoDed a sufficient demand
to check the tendency and rally ' prices. The
money mirn'i snowed the firmer tone
which developed earlv this week in connec
tion with the December settlements, the
requisition on banking resources on account
of new security Issues and the gnld export.

good; that is, there were not many cattl
that could be described as really desirable
killers. At the same time other market
points were pretty well supplied and ad
vices generally were rather discouraging
There seemed to be more or less weaknes
all along the line. The result was that th
trade locally was by no means uo.ive and
the morning was quite well advanced be
fore- very much business was transacted
The trade In beef steers was not overly
active at any time, although there seemed
to be considerable inquiry for the bette
grades. The market as a whole might be
described as steady to 10c lower than yes
terday. The market ond cows and heifers was In
about the same condition as the steer mar
ket, that la the movement was rather slow
and there seemed to be a luck of life and
snap to the trade. Prices In Some cases
looked about steady and others fully 10c
lower.
Good feeders were steady, the same as
they have been every day this week, while
the inferior kinds were slow and hard to
move.

HOGS Receipts of hogs this morning
were the largest that they have been since
Wednesday of last week. The reports
from other selling points Indicated heavy
runs generally, with prices lower all along
the line. I'ndcr such conditions It whs
not surprising thai the market at this
point was slow to open and that the morn
ing was well advanced before buyers and
sellers really got down to buslnem. Prices
were generully JOfaloc lower than yester
day. Some of the best hogs possibly did
not show that, much decline, but on the
other hand, there were plenty that showed
fully that loss. A good many of the hogs
went at $5. 00:06. 75 and on up as high as
$5.85, whereas yesterday S5.7oii6.S5 bought
must of the hogs, with a top at $5.95.
Representative sa?e:
SHEEP hecelpta of sheep were quite
liberal this morning, but the proportion 01
strictly good killing stuff was by no means
large. At the same time, the demand was
quite brisk and the market on good, fut
sheep and Iambs opened early with fully
aleady prices prevailing. The offerings for
the most part changed hands In very short
time. Good fed western lambs sold up as
high as $6.65, which was 6c higher Ihun
anything brought yesterday and the high
est of any time since last July. Yearlings
sold up to $5.60, with a pretty decent kind
of ewe at $4.25. All in all it was a good,
healthy and entirely satisfactory market
so fur aa good kinds were concerned. As
noted yesterday, common and Inferior kinds
are slow sale, packers buying them only
when compelled to by a shortage In the
supply of the better grades.
Good feeders were fair sellers at steady
prices. Good ewes sold as high as $3.25.
