Kor the week recelpta have been quite liberal, being about on a par with the corresponding week of laat year. The severe storm at the beginning of the week upnet the general courae of the market, thus Inatead of receipts being heavy aa usual at the beginning of the week and llghtor during the latter half the reverse was true. As a result during the first tialf of the week under the Influence of the starvation receipts prices rapidly ad vanced. l.eter In the week when the de mand was smaller aa usual, the receipts became much larger and the advance waa pretty much all wiped out an far aa kill ing cattle at least were concerned. At the close beef steers, cows and heifers are hack Just about where they were at the close of the last week or possibly a nine stronger in, some cases. The aupply of stock cattle and feeders aa llLht throughout the whole week, while the demand waa remarkably aoixl. Aa a result cattle of that description were strong every day up until near the close of Hie 'Week and are now a trifle higher than they were at the close of last week. It la safe to aay that there never waa a time at this season of tha vear when cattle of that description were selling any higher than they are now.

As compared with a week ago quotations are also generally steady, but the tone to demand recently ha been more or leas unctitaln. with prices rather uneven. Im provement featured the market on open ing days, but any quotable advances were loat at mid-week, In that present values are in mu h the same notches as at last week's close. - Fat ewes of high dressing appearance are sellliig around $3 76, with strictly prim grades aa hiKh as 24 00. Yearlings with weight brought $4 78 and handy offerings would probably command 26 no or more. Good aethers have been none too plentiful, best onea here moving around $4.00. Total r elpts were moderate and. aa might be eMe'ted from the early feed-lot crop, con eiHed laigely of sheep and yearlings. lutbs hae been meeting with very fair Uiviuii jr oa must day and are closing barely steady.

Tha Key to the Situation Bee Want Ada MARKET CONFIDENCE GENERAL; Stock Market Goet Slowly, but Opti mistic Tone Prevails. SPECULATORS ARE NOT ACTIVE Fallare af Traat Compear Wlthoat ladaesee oa Triers,, Walcai rioa at Brat Hfotrh of the Week. , NEW YORK, Jan. 8. Stock market oper ations tof the new year a opening week showed a tentative disposition In the specu lation and not much participation out side of professional ranks. The summing up of the past year's record and the com ing years prospects In numerous reviews bad the effect of tempering hopes for the future by the rememberance of the past dif appointments. Confidence In the ultimate outcome of the opening year was fairly general over the probable period of the reaction of the latter part of last year. Suggestions that business might still be kept within restricted limits by a spirit of caution and by the necessities of the credit situation, available capital suplies and retrench ments of operating and producing costs were not calculated to Incite to fresh de partures In speculation. Apparently some expection had been felt that these doubtful factora might induce a degree of positive depression and a short Interest remaining uncovered was the consequence. The demand to cover from this source imparted strength to the market. The marks of retrenchment and economy so generally in force, while mark ing a halt of enterprise and progress, are recognized as the correctives for what Is lacking in conditions. Recuperation Evident. The progress of recuperation already shows In the money market. An expanding volume of bond dealings a l n. rising tend ency of prices In that department give hope for better terms lor new Issues which must shortly become necessary than was thought possible last foil. Such symp toms of replenishment of the supply of capital seeking Investment point to a means of paramount importance for relief from the deadlock which had brought en terprise to a state of suspense. 1 he further progress or cessation of these symptoms of the investment demand from fresh capital will be watched with keen attention for the decisive effect likely to be exercised on speculative Initiative. Failure of the trust company here yes terday was without Influence on the stock market, which closed at best prices of the week. The embarrassment of this ln stlutlon Is believed to date back to the panlce of 1907, when Its position was ad mittedly precarious. FOINDRY METALS IN DEMAND Large Volume of Inquiries from Eaat of Allrgrhanles. NEW YORK, Jan. 8. The most encour aging developments In plgiron circles last week was the large volume of Inquiries for foundry metal east of the Alleghany moun tains. In the last three days several large consumers In New York state have come Into the market for 10,000 to 15,000 tons, while business for 8.000 tons has been re ceived In New England, and pipe works on the Delaware are ready to close for 10,000 to lfi.000 tons If satisfactory prices can be arranged. The contracts actually closed were not of Importance, but current sales at New York averaged between 2,000 to 8.000 tons a day. Kome low prices have been developed In New England in northern Iron and some Buffalo furnaces are reported to have reached to $13 75 for No. 2. The Interna tional Harvester company la reported to have closed for some round tonnages in the Chicago territory and to cover sales of 12.000 tons of castlron pipe for a gas company in Portland. Ore. Pipe works In the Ohio valley and at Bir mingham, Ala., are negotiating for 10.000 to 15,000 tons of southern pig. In the Pitts burg district Inquiries are out for 10,000 tons of malleable standard Bessemer. The output of plglron in December dropped to 1.775,000 tons, but the production of both plglron and steel ingots In 1910 was record breaking. Some banked furnaces will be low thia month, bo that output may he again Increased In January. Furnace stocks Increased heavily In the last two weeks. Sentiment among manufacturers of fin ished steel products has shifted and the maturity now seem In favor of temporarily maintaining prices, but one and all are pre pared for a radical drop In March. The more rigid holding of prices has thrown larger domestic business to the corpora tion, while Independent companies have suf fered corresondlngly. The corporation also has secured more export business, and In consequence some of the banked furnaces are to become active at once. BETTER TOMS I COTTON GOODS Fair Sale of tieneral Lines Better Trade In Fine Work Goods. NEW YORK, Jan. 8 There Is a better tone In the cotton goods market following fair sales of wide print cloths to printers, some goods for exports and small lots of brown and bleached domestic for the job bing trade. Fall River sold 250.000 pieces last week, of which 50.000 were for spot delivery, and for the first three months of the year a fair rate of Bales is noted. The export business consisted of 2.000 bales of 4.70-yard and 6 yard sheetings for China shipment. Ticketed bleached goods for the jobbing trade are firm and an advance is pending In consequence of the shortness of stocks and unwillingness of all mills to accept further business unless there Is a margin of profit. There has been a better trade In many of the fine wash goods which have come principally in the way of reorders from jobbers. The first week In the year Is not normally a time of activity, but In the next two weeks many of the largest jobbers of the country will be in the market and operations will broaden slowly. Cotton blankets and napped cottons for the fall season are to be shown next week. While a conservative tone pervades. It was thought by merchants that optimism was more prevalent at the close of the week. The yarn markets are generally quiet on the last days of the week and inquiries were more general. The old difficulty of getting prices up to parity of high cost cotton Is still en countered. St. Louis General Market. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 7.
