Southwestern damage reports were respon
sible for a rush of buying, which mm
absorbed ths light offerings. Should the

food growing weather s-art In, the present
advance would be momentary.
The strength In oorn wss due entirely
to the advance In' wheat and th sironf

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The stock market
gave additional evidence today of slnk.ng
Into dullnes and apathy. The situation is
summed In the fart that urgpnt liquidation

no disposition makes Itcelf manifest to
accumulate stock with sufficient determin
ation to carry prices upwards and hold
them there.
The desire to see the definition of the
scope of the Sherman anti-trust low. which

were liberal, 249 cars being reported in,
maklns: the total for the two days of over
t,000 head, or almost 1,000 head ehort ot the
two days last ween, it win oe remem
bered, however, that the receipts last week
were above the average. As compared with
a year ago there has been a gain of oyer
3.000 head this week In the two days. The
market as a whole was in very fair con
dition. . . - ,
There was a ver fair Inquiry on the
part , of shippers and-such cattle as they
use generally commanded steady' prices, as
compared with yesterday. On the other
hand, the trade on packers' kinds was not
so active and a good share of the cattle
purchased by buyers for packing house ac
count looked as much as iuc lower.
Cows and heifers sold about the same
way as beef steers, that la, anywhere from
steady to- 10c lower than yesterday. While
the trade as a whole was not particularly
active, the bulk of the catfle changed
hands In reasonable season.
Stockers and feeders were active sellers
at good strong prices and the offerings of
anything desirable along that line met with
very ready sale. As high as $5.70 was paid
for good cattle to go bacx Into the country
on feed.

HOGS-rln view of yesterday's remark
able strength of provision prices and the
higher trend of hug values as well, sellers
confidently predicted the arrival of tho 9
cent porker at this point today, but a
flood run gave packers the whip-end and
the early market was rather slow and dull
at yesterday's prices. In the neighbor
hood of a hundred loads sold on a com
paratively ateady baaia, but the demand
was by no means active. Over 200 loads
were estimated, and with the yarding of
the big bulk of receipts, several of the
larger buyers dropped out of the game, so
that It u difficult to secure a bid of
any kind on loads toward midday.
From steady the market developed Into
a oV&lOc lower affair, and discouraging re
ports from the eaat did not serve to Im
prove the general situation, of course. A
considerable portion of the hogs sold from
83.70 to $8.80, as compared with yesterday's
bulk of $t.?0tt&86. Tops reached $8 90, wa
compared with the aame top of yesterday
and $8.70 a week ago.
Toward the close the best offers obtain
able were Just about a flat dime lower
than yesterday and salesmen were forced
to weigh up most of the lata arrivals on
this basis.

SHEEP Actual supplies
on
the
riy
msrket today were very limited, only a
few cars of a light estimate being received
In time, for the first rounds. Aa was the
case on yesterday, however, buyers wanted
rood grades ot sheep and anything with a
reasonable amount of flesh and finish sold
readily, at prices fully steady to a shade
stronger. Fed Mexican wethers sold ss
high as $7.15 and ewes realised $A35. The
former price Is the highest paid for weth
ers In many months at this point
With the yarding of later arrivals, it be
came apparent that packers were In no
more urgent need of material than they
were willing to admit at the opening, and
the market firmed up considerably under
the Influence of keen competition. The
trend of values on both sheep and lambs
was decidedly higher and several new rec
ord' tops were made. Aside from the $7.16
wethers above noted, full loads of fed Mex
ican lambs were good enough to command
$90. Ewes chanced hands at $4.56 and fed
Mexican yearlings topped at IK.00. The lat
ter price Is the best price ever paid at this
point for full loads of yearlings In the his
tory ot the market.
