M 02t day, December". '
lleceipts of cattle at tlie East "liberty
yards were below late average in number.
There were 91 loads on sale to-day against.
102 load-, last Monday and 105 loads the
previous Monday. About ,a dozen loads of
those oa tale .this .morning Mere from Chi
caio. The balance were principally from
Ohio and Indiaua. The average quality
was about as"it has been for a few weeks
past. There were no prime beeves
on sale and not mauy good
beeves. Buyers were present in fair
force, but showed no disposition to submit
to an advance. Common anil low grade
cattle which constituted the bulk of ofier
inp, were slow at the. prices of last 'week,
while desirable grades Midi a light, .tidy
bulcher stock, weie j to 10c higher than
ihev were a week atro. So far as could be
learned, there were no vile.s in carload lots
above 4 CO per cwt. There was. a fair run
f fresh cows, and "maikcts were gldiv at
Sl5 0C to $45 00 per head. Veal cal VM "were
in light supply, and last week's prices were
maintained. The range of market lor
graders was 2,'c to 3Jc per lb, and for
cals 0' c to Cc per lb.
There were 25 carloads of sheep and
lambs on the market, against little, more
than half this number the two previous
Mondays. As a result of the large run
markets were weak at a decline in prices.
Choice sheep being in light supply suffered
least from the weakness of markets, but all
prudes were reported lower than last week.
The-best Miecp on sale were sold a shade be
low 55 00 per en t. anil the best lambs be
low ?5 50. Only a lew of the ollcrings ap
proached these prices.
Hojs There were (50 double-declc loads
on sale, or close to 10,000 head. The pre
vious Monday over U loads were offered.
Markets' to-day were fairly steady at the
clos-ins pi ices of last wcck. The price of
Philadelphia-, was ?." 00 per evrt. Yorkers
ranged in price from ?3 (55 to JvS 75 per cwt.
At the Allegheny Yards,
lleceipts of cattle at Herr's Island were
light, but bliyers were few, and prices were
shade lower than last week. The quality
of oficrincs was above late average. And
fillers were liopelul ot an advance, owing
to stronger outside markets. Dressed 'beef
is making serious inroads on the lite stuck
trade, and the old-time cattle trade is
steadily on the wane 15e't Chicago beeves
were sold at 5 50 to ?5 75; good to choice
medium weights W on" to S5 20;
light weights, 4 00 to ii 50: common
stiiU", f'Jt 50 to 3 50. Fresh cows were in
L'Ood supply, and demand was active at a
shade better prices th;n prevailed last
week. There were sales reported at S55 00
per head, which was an advance on anything
onered lor weeks past, me general range
f prices was ?.",( iKl to $50 WO per bead.

CHICAGO Wheat, while decidedly dull,
was, nevertheless, quite Arm. Cables, re
ported some advance In the English mar
kets, with New York and other domestic
markets inclined to firmness. Shorts were
disposed to cover and the bears were less
ajrsressive. Therowere pretty good buying
orders here from New York and St. Louis,
but the selling was slow and cautious; but in
the nbsenco of decisive bull news during the
foronoou itvvashardtoadvanco priccsmnch
One of the strong factors was t ho report
that tho Government would embrace the,
condition of winter wheat iu its report, and
thero Is a zrcnernl feclinir that it will be un
favorable. Uncertainty as to what the vis
ible report would show had u tendency to
restrict trade during tlio, morning. Tho
jrcncious fall of snow over the winter wheat
belt is regarded as a much-needed protec
tion. Tho market remained Arm, with n slowly
advancing tendency till the visible supply
figures were posted, when thero was a sud
aen mid Mmrp advance. May opened :it

2iUc:irs in excess of the estimates. The
gradiuir, however, continued poor, but the
clear, crisp weather was looked upon as in
dicating an improvement. Ihe clique was
not doing an. thing to sustain values, and
was rather oh tho other side, and sold freely
on all liard spots. It is for its interest to
keep price.-, dow n for the time being to about

take rare or, and if theie is any squeeze it is,

near the close of the month. The market
developed more strength after tho noon

A New York bond specialist says: "The
inquiry for bond of all classes has continued
to increase, and transactions in the Ex
change include an augmented number of
securities. The demand for municipal se
curities is also much larger than for a long
time past. There is, of courc, some spec
ulative buying of the lower priced issues or
of bonds which promise to come into favor
later on, but the movement in the main
seems to be due to the case of money and to
anticipations of a very large reinvestment
demand in January." "

Business on 'Chance yesterday was un
usually good for tho first day of the week, or
Jor any day, for that matter, but values
were not generally sustained. In fact, the
pievniling tone was weak. Liquidation
seemed to bp the ruling sentiment.
Philadelphia Gas failed to sustain the
position which it occupied at the close of
tho week, but holders manifested no alarm
and kept aloof from the- market. With or
ders for several good-sized blocks, it will bo
strange if a reaction be long delayed. The
rest of this group was steady. The tractions
lost some of their grip, although inmost
cases the clipping was trifling. Pittsburg
finished nearly a point below thn opening,
and Manchester sold down to 36jJ. At fhe
last call 17 was liid for Duqnesne and lSJj
for Birmingham, offered at 19.-
Luster fell offa fraction. After the after
noon board it was still weaker. The pri
mary cause of the drop is "easily explained.
People who received the $10 allotment on
the reorganization of the company were

market was prepared to absorb, and a de

SPECIAL PBESSCItE UPON ALL OF
THE TACIrlC STOCKS.
Tim Loss of a Pacific Mail Steamer Has
Some Effect Coalers Firm on Light
Transactions A Firm Tone Held in
the Main.
Xew York. Dec. 7. The stock market mil
ri little more animated today than tisnal for
the last two weelTs, and vrlille displaying on
the whole a firm tone in tho general list the
pressure by tho professionals' upon a low
stocks gave a. rather weak character to the
market.
The movements for most of the list, how
ever, weieliko those for tho past month
small and insignificant and while there was
cood buying of many of tho prominent
shares, notably the Vandorbilts, tho Indus
trials and Louisville, theie was special
pressure on the Northorn Pacific stocks, and
later on Missouri Pacific. At the same time
Union Pacific sympathized with tlie weak
ness in these shares: Pacific Mail was sold
down on tho los of one of its steamer.
Theiowas durins the dav undoubted evi
dence that a buying dovv er is in the market,
and the purchases of commission houses
(tavea strong temper. to tile forenoon's deal
ing, which evident vicorous soiling of the
Villards failed to impair to anv great extent.
In addition to tliU, the trading iu tho Coal
stocks looked greatly like envoi ing, and
thoic shares were linn thioughout the day
on very liglit transactions. Northern Pacific
preferred was under the hammer through
out the entire day; its early loss was signifi
cant, the common follow ihg closely, but it
was not until tho late ulternonn, when tlie
Missouri Pacific vv.as attacked with such
vigor, that the general list gave evidence
of beingaffected in anyway by the preauro.
Tho opening was generally at small ad
vances over S.ituulay'8 prices, and notwith
standing the weakness in the Villards, the
general list, led by the Omaha Mocks, the
preferred rising to J3 per cent.roso fraction
u 1 v as a rule, and the tirmne-s lasted until
well into the uficinoon, though theie was
the usual dullness in the late trading up to
the tune when tho early raid was resumed.
Jlore activity than any previous time of
the day was then developed, and prices tum
bled auickl v In the stocks attacked, the reit
of tho list following reluctantly and slowly.
The finaldealingsgavcaddltionul evidence
that cornering w as tho object of the attack,
Hilda slight rally closed the market firm,
with most of the list close to opening flcures.
The final changes of the day were generally
insignificant and about equally divided be
tween gains and losses; but while Chicago
Gas is up lc and Omaha preferred Ve,
Missouri Pacific is down 2Jc: Northern Pac
ific, preferred, lc, and the common, ljjjc.
umiruau uuiiub wem inoie active tuan
usual of late, and, while in tho share list the
temper was somewhat mixed, the rise of 2
per cent in Louisville, New Albany tnd Chi
cago consols to lOIJi cave the key to tho
market tor tho .day. Other changes, how
ever, were generally of 110 importance, even
though the Atchison incomes contributed
$111,000 and the Wabah r-econds $119 0C0to
tho day's total of $1,495,000. The number of
issues traded in was even larger than usual
for tho past week, and the tone was gener

3Ionday is uniformly aqniet day in thUlinc,
and this Jlonday proved no exception to the
rule. , Supply of country butter still ex
ceeds demand and markets show a down
ward tendency. Choice creamery is steady
and cheese is iirni at prices quoted, fresh
laid eggs are in very short supply, and all
that come are promptly taken at outside
quotations, lleceipts of potatoes ure lteavy
and -markets weak- On track the outside
price is 40c per bushel, and only the very
best bring this price. 1'lorida oranges con
tinue to come jn freely, aud markets are. in
favor of tlie buyer, llananas and lemons
are in good supply, but choice stock readily
sells at prices quoted. Poultry and game
are coming in freely, more bo than our
markets have capacity to absorb, and as a
result drift of prices is downward.

the fact that European markets have shown
an upward tendency in the same period.
The latter markets have been unduly stimu

Is a growl, and that growl marks the limitof
argument with him. The best way to get
liinitotryn medicine would be to advise

after using Unrdick Blood Bitters.

Repeated tests with uni form success prove
the fact that Burdock Blood Bitters will
cure dyspepsia. Tliereason is plain: it tones
the stomach to natural action and keeps the
sluice ways of the system free from clogging
impurities.
I have been troubled with dyspepsia and heart
disease fornine years and found no n lief until I
tried Burdock Blood Bitters. Now I am well nfter
taking two bottles. MKfe. ETtl E FRAZIER.
