The principal complaint on this score was insufficient cars in which to ship their stock south. Many stockmen, it is declared, after driving their herds 40 to 50 miles to the railroad were com pelled to sit idly by and witness starvation overtake, in some in stances, their entire herds. A ranches recently in the north ern part of Wyoming counted his herd following a severe snow storm and found that out of 1,000 head only 450 remained. There were some who were fortu nate enough to obtain hay, it is said. They were able to withstand the bit ter weather and deep snows. Hay was very scarce, however, and the price was high, which prevented a greater number of stockmen from buying. ...... Bear Faction In Possession Of Market During the Week New York, Jan. 17. An aggressive and very active bear faction was in possession of the stock market this week. The ef forts of that element vere supplemented by an erratic money market, another break In foreign exchange and the In herent weakness of low grade oils and xpeclalties. Demand loan rate eased In marked degree but time money was scarce almost to the vanishing point and the attitude of the federal reserve bank bespoke fur ther measure, to restrict credit for non essentials. The sharp break In secondary oil and some of the miscellaneous specialties which later extended to high-priced Is sues, particularly petroleums and mo tors, was accelerated by the doubtful status of some of those properties. Standard steel and equipments shares were steady most of the time as a result of favorable trade prospects and the bet ter labor outjok. Coppers also Im proved with other base metals, for which an increased demand and higher price schedules were reported. Kails yielded none of their long sus tained lethargy, only occasionally taking part In the daily movement and making no perceptible response to the trend of legislation whl7e textile, leather and pa per Issues were swayed by the course of kindred specialties. Interesting developments In the Inter national financial situation Included an over eubscrlption to th 125,000,000 Bel gian note loan Issued by a powerful bank ing syndicate and an offering of Italian government bond. 191 23 49 26 16 68 26 96 79V 37 90 42 28 21 76 108 13 Quotations furnished by Burns, Brlnker & Co.
