UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS, $3epL 1. Cattle Recelpt3, 230; shipments, 150. There Is Quite a falling off to report in the marketing of cattle this week, but the receipts continue fairly liberal. Compared with last week there is a decrease of over J.200, and there la a decrease of 3,130 compared with the record week ending Sept. 7. The same week a year ago 500 more cattle wtre received than last week, and com- 1 pared with the corresponding week two years ago there Is an increase of Gou. The receipts 0 far this year are almost !S,ojO larger than the same period last year. Prom the beginning of the week there has been a scarcity of choice stock, and with a Heady demand buyers have been forced to follow a gradual advance in prices for that class, and at the close of tho week values wtre as high as they hava been recently, and they are the highest they have been in about two years. Tho gain in prices this week was generally considered 23c higher, but occasionally salesmen reported au advance of S3c, and a few buyers claimed they were forced to pay 4j3uc more for cattle in certain instances. The demand for feeding stock the early part of the week was not important, but toward the close there was u. very fair inquiry lor feood kinds, and comparatively satistactory prices were realized. Ordinary cattle of all kinda, and especially common stocuers. were neglected all week, and salesmen wert; unable to get any better prices than those, current recently. It Is claimed by most dealers that the trade is in a healthy condition for choice fat cattle of all kind, und with Indications that the supply will be moderate It is expected that good prices will prevail. They do not offer any encouragement, however, for grades below the best, and it is advisable for country buyers to exercise their very best judgment in handling that class of stock. During the week native (Meers that were not top kinds sold as high as JtJ.10, quarantine cattle sold as high as SI. Western $3.90. heifers J1.S5 and cows $1.25. The top price for bulls was $1.10, and calves cold as high as 5;.5o. The receipts to-day-were fair for Saturday, and not many choice kinds were represented. The demand, as usual at this time in tho week, was quiet, but finally a clearance was made at about yesterday's prices.

The marketing of hors this week has been more liberal, the total showing a gain of 4aj0 over last week, 5 over the s ame week a year ago and a decrease of 2,2. compared with the corresponding wrek two years ago The receipts thin far this year show" a gam of nearly "uo compared with the same period last year. For the week ending yesterday local packers bought a total of 12.33 again.-t 11. U the preceding Week and S.S20 the same week a year aj,o. During the same period the shipments were &..2. against 1.5:12 the preceding vek and 6.1 the corresponding week a year ago This has been another rtmarkaVle week in the hog trade. The receipts have increased, t ho quality improved and th re was another decided gain in values. The demand has been much better from packers, and. with some improvement in the request from out.-ide sources, there has b a continued active competition all week. The unusually large proportion of gool hos markete.l was a surprise to marly all tie. Piers, and no doubt this went far toward f titniriatir.g competition. The result was tht prices hfre were maintained in a position comparatively higher than any other market. Th upward movement In prict.s wan only broken once during the we.-k. and at the close cf the week the range ln !iiat.s h g:dn of 3V to 33c over last Akmdty, ;,., to 55c over Sept. 1, and to JJ.L'i j;ain over Jan. 1, whlrh was the low oint in price- thus far this year. Just enough common hogs are coming to maintain a wld spread in priced, but there is a tendency toward a chmge in this ro-peet. At this time thre is a range of 55c. while in January, which was the low tim there was only 15c ran;- in prices.

The reeipt-s of sheep and lambs this week have been comparatively liberal, showing a gain of l.ft'J over list week, 2.v) over the same week a year ago, and C.luO over the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year 37,'rMJ more have been received than the same period last year. There has been a good demand all week, and competition nas been strong enough to enable salesmen to maintain steady prices, notwithstanding neighboring marketshad record-breaking receipts and lower prices. There has been a very good demand on shipping account and local butchers bought at least au average number. Oh account of the absency of fancy stock there were few extreme prices paid, but all things be ing considered values generally were quite satisfactory to salesmen. During the we-3k lambs sold as high as 5 and sheep as high as $3.50. The receipts to-day were as large as expected at this time in the week and the quality was as good as the average heretofore this week. The demand was steady, and it did not take long to exhaust the supply at yesterday's prices.

ALL BUT ONE RECOVERED

LOSSES OX STOCKS SLTFKUCD TIIC wi:i:k II UFO HC LAST. Amalgamated Copper the Exception, Due to Special Cause Improved Monetary Conditions. NEW YORK, Sept. 21. The acute weakness cf Amalgamated Copper, as a result of the omission of the directors' meeting yesterday to declare the regular extra quarterly dividend of 't per cent., with the usual li per cent., was an unsettling influence on the market to-day. The reticence of all connected with the company about offering any explanation for the action or any assurances as to the condition of the company's business, added to the influence of the break. The policy of the insiders In the stock seemed to be to let the sellers make the opening price, which was from 103 to 101, on simultaneous sales of S.5O0 shares. Some decree of support was accorded after this, although the price touched par during the second hour, an extreme decline of 1V2 from yesterday's close and of 30 points from the high level of the year on June 17. The stock closed at 100?i, a net loss of Selling for London account also was a depressing factor, where news of another set-back in South Africa discouraged recent hopes of an early termination of the war. Brisk bidding up of the local traction stocks was the onlynotable Influence toward an advance. The loan reduction in to-day's bank statement, in spite of the week's activity by speculative pools in the stock market, relieved some apprehension and allowed the surplus reserve to derive additional advantage from the gains of cash on the subtreasury operations. A lively demand for L. & N. and Union Pacific steadied the market, but the closing was Irregular and with the day's net changes mixed. The price movement of stocks this week has constituted a remarkable demonstration of confidence in the stability of the financial fabric and in the assurance of continued prosperity. On Monday, which was the first day of trading in stocks after the death of the President by assassination, prices recovered practically all the losses of the week before, the market opening with a buoj-ant uprush cf prices and closing steady at the top level. Artificial support is powerless to check general sell ing by real holders of securities, who act always on their own conviction that the value of their shares has become impaired. The action of the market on Monday morning showed conclusively that there was no general liquidation to be faced. Ileal holders were confident in the value of securities. The timid class of holders had evidently done their selling during the previous week at the threat of the calamity which fell on the market during Friday night. The professional bears, instead of seeing prices dip so as to afford a profit on the short sale, saw a sudden rebound, which forced them to buy back at a loss, emphasizing the recovery by their bidding for stocks. Evidently the action of the market was a surprise to the whole specu lative world. Commission houses had or ders to buy at the market, which represented the hopes of bargain hunters that the opening drop in prices would afford a price level that would make profitable investments. These orders were executed at prices from 3 to 6 points hlpher than the previous Friday's closing. This condition of affairs, added to the enormous suDDort ing orders for account of great capitalists, resulted in the overstimulation of the mar ket. Many brokerage houses also had ad ditional orders to buv at fixed nrlces he low the market, which would have proved an obstacle to any fall. These technical causes must not be lost sisrht of in justly estimating the manner of the recovery, although they do impair the significance 01 me tact. The Kain in cash from the subtreasury nas oeen augmented to many millions through the redemption of covernment bonds, tho diversion of Internal revenue collections Into bank depositories, the an tlcipation of October government interest payments and the normal increase In pension payments incident to the midmonthlv period. Last week's loan contraction resulting from the liquidation in the stock market also sensibly relieved the position cf the banks. The importance of early imports of gold has somewhat diminished in view of this relief from domestic sources. but tho almost hourly expectation of gold engagements nas played its part in eus taining the stock market. The fact that exchange rates have not actually crossed the profitable gold-Import point, although one small engagement was made, is accounted for by the less urgent pressure for money in New York. A movement of gold to New York is confidently anticipated, but exchange authorities differ widely in their opinions of the probable volume of the movement. The amount of this country's unliquidated credit balance abroad has prown debatable, owing to our large fjurchases of home securities from foreign lolders and large borrowings by American syndicates from foreign capitalists. The recent large receipts of Australian gold, which have found their way ultimately to New York bank reserves, cuts off a customary source of supply for London and, in fact, represents liquidation of London obligations to New ork, thus lessening future claims. The Austro-Hungarian bank continues to buy gold in European markets for currency purposes. The latest estimate of the Rupslan loan to be taken at Pans is $2o0,0x,O'0, and German capitalists are floating a lesser loan for Rulan railroads. The present abundance of resources of the great European banks Is therefore not to ba counted on as freed from future large obligations. Railroad bonds have recovered. In sympathy with stocks, but in much less degree. United States refunding twos advanced and the new fours 1 per cent, over the closing call of last week.

The explanation for its absence in the return may therefore be that the corporations which sold bonds to the government were mostly livings banks, and that the money received by them for these bonds was either promptly invested in other securities or temporarily deposited, awaiting a favorable opportunity for Investment. Moreover, some of the private bankers who sold bonds may have placed the cash in their own vaults. The disclosures made by the preliminary estimate of the movement of money last week, that the ordinary operations of the treasury continue to absorb large sums of money from the banks, and also that the movement of currency to the Interior appears to be increasing, are not altogether assuring. There will be, however, no occasion for anxiety regarding the situation so long as the policy of bond purchases is continued, through which depleted bank reserves may be partially restored. The money market will soon be directly relieved tnrough imports of gold from Europe and from Australia, and also through Yukon gold, which will be transferred to this center." PRIVATE AVI RE ADVICES. Iiiqultlntloii ia Amulgnmated Copper, Other Securities Ilnoyant. Meyer & Riser's Telegram. NEW YORK, Sept. 21. Interest at the opening was centered on Amalgamated Copper, and the rest of the market was comparatively neglected. The pressure to sell this stock was naturally considerable, opening prices being from 4 to 6 points below last night. For a while after the opening the stock was held fairly steady by heavy covering of shorts, but subsequently renewed liquidation made Its appearance, carrying the stock down to 100. From this figure It rallied rather feebly, and finally closed less than 1 per cent, above the lowest of the day. During the early part of the session the rest of the market was inclined to sympathize with the weakness in Copper. The strongest features were the local traction stocks, all of which enjoyed substantial advances. The buying of Manhattan was thought to be for inside interests, and was accompanied by Ihe story that the company was now earning at the rate of 7 per cent, on the Etock and that the installation of electricity ' would result in decreased expenses and increased earnings. Anticipation of a good bank statement caused a good deal of covering and also fresh buying towards 11 o'clock, and after the statement was published the market continued strong, and in many cases closed at the best figures of the day. Union Pacific was noticeably buoyant. The short interest in the stock is said to be considerable. The showing made by the bank statement was about what had been expected, although the gain in cash was rather smaller than had been estimated. Trading: Closed at Rest Price. Granger Farwell & Co. 'a Telegram. NEW YORK, Sept. 21. Tho market opened with a good tone and prices generally improved the first half hour, but afterwards weakened somewhat on decline in Amalgamated Copper and closed at about the best in most cases on the favorable bank statement, which, however, was about as expected. Manhattan and Metropolitan Railway had a good advance to-day. They were both well bought, and people who ought to know predict higher prices for both, but especially for the former. Transactions in Copper were very large again to-day, but now that tho matter of the dividend is settled it probably will quiet down somewhat. The True Source of Anarchism. London Mall. There is, in fact, no difficulty whatever In tracing anarchism to Its true source, which is the atheistic materialism that has obtained so extensive a vogue in many parts of the continent. In England militant atheism as distinct from mere religious Indifference finds but an infinitesimal number of votaries. On the continent it is an active volcanic social force that has to be reckoned with. Obviously, if the divine government of the world Is wholly denied, there Is nothing illogical in the ultimate refusal of the individual to render obedience to any authority whatever. The Anarchist says, in effect: "There Is no God, and therefore there is no source of authority, and no justification for the claim of any one man to control the conduct of any other mar.." On this view each man is a law to himself and a bitter opponent to any system of government, human or divine. The whole theory was effectively summed up long ago in the words, "Nl Dieu, ni maitre!"

CORN AND OATS HIGHER

OUTSIDE IICMAXD SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME OTHER CAUSES. Wheat boner in n Very Hull Market : Provisions Higher at the Opening, but Later Decline. CHICAGO, Sept. 21. All markets on the Board of Trade, following the usual precedent for Saturday, were dull to-day. December wheat closed U'ic lower, corn Uc higher and oats a shade up. Provisions closed 71T12V2C lower. Wheat had a dull, heavy market, December opening a fdiade higher at lllc on steady cables, although lacking outside support. The Northwest was a seiler here, and also reported good harvests. Under light pressure December cased off to 70"iaC and closed easy HHUc lower, at 71c. Local receipts were 176 cars, six of contract i,.ade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 1,245 cars, making a total for the three points of 1,422 cars, compared with 763 a year ago. Primary receipts were 1,116,413 bu. against last year's 1,003,276. Seaboard clearances, in wheat and flour, equaled 1.2S5.S70 bu.! : Corn was quiet with little outside Interest. December opened steady, lie to UliMc higher, at 5S";c to 5Sti5S"sc, on steady cables, but on liberal selling by local and elevator interests eased off to 5S'"c. Later a report of export demand brought December to 58";fj3!c, and It ciosed firm. ic higher, at 388c. Receipts were 4'3 cars. oats developed little interest, and a slight show of strength at the opening, in sympathy with corn and on an outside demand, was lost by fair offerings. December opened He higher at 368c, sold off to 06V2C and closed easy and a shade higher at 34f'436v;c. Receipts were 227 cars. Provisions had a quiet market, which at first tended to be strong and active. Most of the trading was for January account, with higher prices at the openinK on higher prices for hogs, but on liberal offerings all products eased off. January pork closed 10c lower at $16.25, lard closed 12V2c to 10c down and ribs were 120 lower at the close.
