CATTLE There were only a few cattle
here today, the market being next thing
to bare of supplies aa usual on a Satur
day. 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.

fcllEKP There were not enough sheep
or lambs on saie this morning to afford
en a limited test of values and the mar
ket remalued unchanged.
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. Toppy kinds are selling aa hlnh '
aa IH oo. with less desirable offerings around
2T ;'ti.Y ,.V Any appreciable Increase In the
lamb supply la not expe' ted until three or
four weeks, of course, aa thousands of
light weight anlmala were taken out last
fall that will not reappear until they have
been given a, long corn finish.

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.

dleweights of the club. The milling was fast
throughout the three rounds, and ended In
a draw. The bout was refereed by Freder
ick Gllmour. The second bout was for three
rounds between Otto S. Monroe and Freder
ick Gllmour, which held the audience all
the time. The bout waa fast, both trying
