.Receipts of cattle at Eist Liberty yards
for the week have been about 75 loads,
sjainst nearly double this number as the late
aerage. There were 135 loads on sale lst
week and 1!30 loads the week before.
Christmas times are seldom or ever good
times tor staple meats. The strong incli
nation of consumers toward turkey, oysters
and game uniformly curtails demand for
beef, pork and mutton. Recognizing this
ruecedent, and in obedience to advices from
commission men, shippers have forivarded
notalovc one-half their UMtal quota this
week. Quality of this week's offerings was
considerably above late average. Fully
ore-third of the oilcrincs were good to prime
bre e. a larger proportion ot tins trrado than
his bpen received tr months past. There were
teveral lnad of l.o-)U to l.GOO-ponnil cattle on
the 'Harket, which uerc in good demand, with
prices nrcinril 2)to4 So per cut. AU'adot

The Cold 'Weather Sends YTlicat Upward
Stock of tho Grain East of the
Rockies Declining Corn Trade
Firmer Oats Doll.
CHICAGO Wheat was firmerat the open
ing. Tho only explanation of the change In
feeling since tho previous afternoon was the
somewhat cold weather, which is considered
bad for the wheat plant in the absence of snow.
Another and perhaps more influential factor
was tho impression which would naturally be
uppermost in tho minds of the local fpeeula
tors under tho circumstances of the recent ma
terial decline, that shorts, which may have
been put out around the bottom or yesterday's
decline, would be considered dangerous to the
holders in the event of anything occurring to
encourage any buying. The cables wero weak.
The trading to-day was neither voluminous
nor animated. The holiday inenbus was heav
ily settling upon tho back of trade, aud its
progress in ronsrquence was labored and slow.
1'lnctualions were narrow and infrequent. Out
side business was scarce and the tiaj's events
outward were not of a nature to change tho
present apcct of affairs. Jlradst eeCs an
nounced that the stock of wheat east of the
Rockies had increased 1&9.OC0 bushels during tho
past week, ami that indicating a smaller
amount from first hands than had been gen
erally looked lor was tbc cause oi tne spurt
which occurred during tho day. There was
some gotl buMiig on t!ie advince referred to.

c The price held around 93c for some time,
but dropping shots from the bears gradually
turned the market downward in the absence of
any adequate resistance by the oiher party.
The decline was very gradual and not very
material, and around Itfc there were enough
bujing orders to bold tlie marsei luuitmar
vicinity of that quotation, and in tho end to
give an upward inclination to prices, which
left the price of May at 'J7ic

Business in real estate is more than holding
its own as compared with other interests. The
inquiry for small properties is quite active,
while there is a fair movement in large ones.
Sales so far this winter break all records.
Values are steady. Owners of fancy properties
are holding out for an advance, but tho ma
jority are satisfied with present figures. The
fact that but few professional speculators were
in the market Is cause for congratulation. The
roaionty of buyers belong to the industrial
element of the community, and their object
In nine cases in ten is improvement. This
gives tone and character to the market and is a

Central Traction and Electric Save the Day
From Disaster.
Holiday goods coull have been sold much
more readily yesterday than stocks. Nobody
wanted them, and after the second call thn
Exchange was declared closed until the usual
time tor meeting to-morrow morning. Every
body talked Christmas, and Henry M. Long,
who wielded the gavel, took care that business
should not interfere with the prevailing senti
ment. The only sale on call was 100 shares of
Central Traction at9 Between calls lOsharcs
of Electric brought 13.
Themarket developed nothing original in
tiro way of news or gossip, and figures were
practically unchanged. The weakness was
perhaps a little less pronounced, leading some
to think that bottom had been reached, and
that the next change would be for the better.
This reeling was based on the steady improve
ment in the money market. Street talk was
also more confident. Bids and. offers are appended.

The Banks Well Equipped for Entering
Upon the New Year.
Nens was a scarce article at the local banks
yesterday, but this was really good ne.
tor if there had been trouble of any kind it
would have come to the surface.
The demand for loans has been so moderate
for some time and the policy of the banks so
conservative in accepting new business, that
it is believed all of them have materially
strengthened their position during the month.'
It is certain that some of them have. Now
that the last settlement of the year is out of
the way, they will feel free to enlarge the field
ot their operations. Brokers will soon be able
to obtain all the money they need.
Clearings were large yesterday, footing up
$2,008,422 24, showing a flourishing condition of
trade, of which that in holiday goods as con
spicuously heavy. Balances were $241,422 48.
The total sales ot stocks at New York yester
day wero 85,360 shares, including: Atchison,
6,920; Lake bhore 0.530: Louisville and Nashville
3.600; ot, Paul 7,895: Union Pacific 9.760.
Money on call at New r ork was easy, ranging
from 3 to 5 per cent, last loan 3. closed offered

SLOW AHD WEAK.
Oil Securely Anchored in tlie Upper Sixties,
With Little Doing.
Considerable oil could hare been sold yester
day, but there was very little of it on tap,
those having it thinking it a good thing to have
on hand with the market as likely to go their
way as any other, and no risk to run.
The market opened at 68MC at which 8,000
barrels changed hands. This was the ouly
price named, but after the close GiKc was bid
by Fink and others, jest to show that buyers
were haugintr around for snaps. There was no
change in refined.

The Holidays Make a Very Dull Market
The Leading Feature is a Sudden
Auim ation iu Lead Trust
Rumors of Dividends.
New York, Dec 21. The stock market to
day presented little of interest in any way, and
there was more attention paid to Christmas
festivities than to business, and especially
during the altcruoon. The bears, bonever,
were tho only active brokers in the market,
and the same professional tone and narrow
dealings characterized trading throughout.
The pressure on a few stocks resulted in the
loss of small fractions in the forenoon, and a
portion of this loss was regained later in tbe
day; but in no stock on the recular list was the
extreme fluctuation for more than per cent.
Tne street looks for no activity in business
until after the first of tho year.
The effect of the late Vauderbilt statements
was tbe strength displayed by Lake Shore,
although its advanco was not sufficient to
please many people. That it will range higher
in tho future as a 6 per cent stock, however,
there are fow to doubt.
The creat feature of the day was the unusual
activity and strength in the Lead Trust, which
was bought by the insiders, and principally on
tbe rumor that a dividend will be declared
soon. It rose from 16?f to 17Js. closing at its
highest point. Later there was a sport in the
Tennessee coal, but no other feature of inter
est outside of the renewed weakness in silver,
which retired cents, occurred.
The weakness was most apparent in Union
Pacific and St. Paul, each of which retired
per cent in the early trading, but failed to de
cline further, and late in the day recovered a
fraction. Tbe market finally closed intensely
dull and stoady at the improvement. Lead and
Tennessee coal are each up 1 per cent, but uo
other change ot note occurred.
The business in railroad bonds was equally
limited, reaching only $768,000 for the entire
day, and the few changes of importance are
almost entirely in tho inactive issue, and com
pare with sales some time ago. Even in stocks
there was a marked lack of feature, and among
the advances Jersey Central general registered
5i are up 2 per cent, at 106; Lackawanna and
Western 5s, Sat 107,. New Jersey Midland
firsts lost 2Ji, at 109?.
The Post bays: Tne flattering reports and
dividends of tbe Vauderbilt roads yesterday
made an impression on the minds of speculators
and Investors which will show its effects after
the holidays.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Trade during the first half of the week has
been very active, making up lor lost time of
last week, caused by tho snow blockade. All
commission men report strong demand for
everything in produce lines. Supply of poultry
is scarcely np to demand, and turkeys have
been advanced. Shippers of turkey have large
faith fn Pittsburg's Christmas capacity, but
this season their faith lias not been equal to
the situation, and all offerings were eagerly
taken at much higher prices than prevailed at
Thanksgiving. It is not often that stock of
turkeys is so well cleaned up at the commis
sion houses as to-day. Supply of Western eegs
exceeds demand and marketsare weak. Choice
potatoes and apples are very firm at outside
