of the Day's Sews.
NEW YORK. Dec. 22. There was some
shrinkage of activity In the stock market
today In connection with the recovery, but
the closing was very active, and the tone
buoyant at the top prices. The feature of
tha "market was the circulation of rumors
of propose absorptions and rehabilitation
of railroad systems. E. II. Harrlman, whose
surpesed critical condition of health
figured In the Imagination of speculators
yesterday In ccnnectlon with their heavy
selling of stocks, resulted in a very bad
state of affairs today and was permeating
the rallroadr map of the country with his
rrcjects of combination ' and transforma
tion. On the one hand it was confidently
assured that he was planning the rehabili
tation of the Wabash system and devising
Its combination with smim outlet, prefer
ably the Lackawannn or the. Erie. In an
other quarter the . retirement of President
Newman from the New York Central might

expected entry into informal activity in
that property. An lrcldent was to be the
hitching lip of the Toledo, Bt. Louis A

There was great activity in' all the se
curities of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas.

the market price of the Colorado & South

of such perfect auspices for the affairs of
the company as the Burlington, offered an
attractive proor of ttie advantages to.ac

vftium hut aontlment was bullish
throughout the entire day. The strength
of the markets at Minneapolis and Du
luth tvas the chief factor in tne situation.
The firmness of the northwestern mar
kets was due mainly to the continued
falling off- in receipts. Arrivals at those
two points today were 250 cars, against
4JtJ cars the corresponding day u year
ago. and advices received today forecasted
atlll smaller receipts in the, near future. An

at Liverpool had, a strengthening Influ
ence early in the day. Shorts were active

and July at 98o. Exports of five boat loads
were reported at the seaboard. There was

prices were steady. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to 280,000 bushels.
The world a visible supply decreased ouu,
000 bushels.
The corn market was firm nearly all
day. The principal activity was in the

option fluctuated over a Ihio range. Cath

CATTLE Receipts of cattle continue
quite moderate, and as several trains were
late in arriving this morning, there was at
no time very many cattle on sale. Sttll,
there was a total of 117 cars reported In,
out tne yaras are so large that 100 cars
make only a small showing. The market
as a whole was In a good, healthy condi
tion.
Packers were Inquiring after desirable
beef steers and the market on that kind
was reasonably active-and a ltttle stranger
again than yesterday. Under the Influence
ot tne very light runs the market Is rapidly
recovering from last week's break. Still,
the demand Is not very heavy. It being
ilium or less limned as usual at tne noiiday
season. Common kinds especially are not
uuiini atter.
Cows and heifers also sold to good ad
vantage, Deing generally a littlo stronger
than yesterday. Anything at all desirable
sold very freely at current prices and the
offerings for the most part changed hands
in gooa season.
What few stocWs and feeders, there
were met wuii very readv sale at irmirl
strong prices. Cattle of that kind have not
advanced as much as killers, largely for
the reason that they did not decline last
week and were plenty high enough to be
gin witn.

HOGS-Hogs were in . fair . supply this
morning, but the market did not show any
iifULurmi L-iittiigo us uuinparea witn yeH'
teraay. inn Hina ot nogs mat every one
warned, tnat is tne Kind that salesmen
could get good competition on, were posbI
bly a little stronger In spots. On the other
hand the general market was Just about
steady, with yesterday. While the trade
was not patrlcularly active, there was a
fair movement and the most of the hogs
sold In pretty decent season. The prices
paid ranged largely irom eo.aj ,up to 86.60,
with the beat'hogs on up as high as 85.70.
SHEH.P Receipts tnis morning were
small, only about fourteen cars being re
ported In. Of tnis number four cars were
consigned through and not offered for sale,
Of the remainder four cars were feeder
lambs which sold at 86.16 and two cars
were feeder wethers, which brought 84.25.
There were two loads of lambs aood
enough for killers, which went to a. packer
at 80.75 and there were also a few other
little bunches that the packers could make
use of. The prices paid lor teeoers looked
as much as lmit'lSo higher. Fed lambs were
also stronger again today, the sales look
lng 25fc0c higher than last week.
It would be well for the country to un
derstand that lambs have made a very
rapid recovery from last week's slump, due
largely to the very light supply on the
market. As a matter of fact the demand
everywhere seems to be limited, buyers
being not at all anxious for any great
number of killers. Still with receipts so
light prices have sprung upward, but the
general feeling Is that anything like a lib
eral run Is likely to bring about a reac
tlon until the demand becomes larger.
