INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 31. Cattle Receipts, 1.41-0; shipments, 5a). Thus far this week the receipts of cattle exhibit an Increase of G00 over the eame tlmo last week and SuO over the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts today were fairly liberal, showing an Increase of nearly over a week ago and 60O over a year ago. The quality was about as satisfactory as the average represented recently, but there were not many top kinds in their class. The market opened "with practically all buyers in the field, but on account of what appeared to be an ample supply competition was hardly as aggressive as yesterday and possibly In some instances an effort was made to reduce rrices. Salesmen were firm in their demands for at least yesterday's prices and finally It was claimed that the trading was reasonably active on that basis. Some few salesmen reported a shade weaker market for certain kinds of butcher cattle, but generally the trade was about a:s Rood as expected. The usual clearance wa made at current rrices. Steers weighing l.iss to 1.215 pounds sold at $5.503 1. with 1.0 to 1.211-pound kinds at 9!.751i5.25. and odd bunches were reported at tf.yiftl.Gi). Stockers and feeders sold at 93.50; 4.

The marketing of hogs for two days indicates a Might change, compared with the same time last week, and an increase of about 2,W over the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts, to-day were fully lx larger than a week ago, and at least 3,000 larger than a year tgo. . The market opened with salesmen asking prices on a line with yesterday and packers, on account of the liberal receipts'' and snarply lower prices reported from other markets, were balking and Intimated early that they would not pay steady prices. Fortunately, however, shippers were well supplied with orders and almost from the start brisk competition developed and the offerings were moving toward the scales promptly at quotably steady prices. Naturally, after orders had been nearly supplied the bidding on offerings that were not fully up to the requirements was some lower, and it is probable that certain kinds of light hogs tinallj' had to sell some lower. Generally, however, salesmen did not report any quotable change In the market, compared with yesterday, and therefore the trade was satisfactory. At a very late hour a few loads had not changed hands, but the clearance was as good as expected, considering that Kingan & Co. were practically out of the market. Sales ranged from $5.4516.75 and a very large proportion of the supply sold above tö.in), although there were quite a number of sales at $5.75'05.50. Quotations: Good to choice medium and heavy.

Combined receipts of sheep and lambs for two days indicate an increase of 2tx over the same time lat week and little change compared with the corresponding time a year ago. The receipts to-day were 2U0 larger than a week ago and a little larger than a year ago. There was quite an active demand and with strong competition there was a brisk trade from the start and the supply was soon exhausted at strong prices compared with those current the past few days and in some instances no doubt higher prices were realized. As usual shippers were the leading buyers and there is little doubt that they would have used a larger number at current prices. Several bunches of lambs sold at $".50, the highest price paid here since July 17, and other sales ranged lrom IZJa7i 5.25.

Chamberlain fc Co. The usual variety of animals was represented, but medium to good chunks and drivers predominated In the offerings. There was a good attendance of buyers and some demand from nearly all sourc- s, but as usual principally from Eastern and export points. There was reasonably strong competition for the better class of animals represented, and the trading was active as expected at fully steady prices compared with those current In the lust sale. In fact, a little additional strength was noticed In certain instances. Shippers, however, claimed that there is very little margin between prices here and those paid in the country, and there was some complaint of unprofitable shipments. The better class of drivers sold from $U to $150, with good heavy chunks and draft horses at $125 to $175, and smaller horses, as to quality, sold from to $:0. A good clearance was made, and the market closed steady at opening prices. Among the shippers were 15. J. Smiley, of this citv: Ovorga U'arman.

FIDENCE IX CONDITIONS. rnderlyliiir Strength f the Market n the Year Die No Inr of Undue MrliiReney of Money. NEW YORK, Dec. 31. The year closed on the Stock Exchange with a demonstration of confidence in the substantial basis of values. The immediate factors were somewhat conflicting, and the early market was irregular In consequence, but the buying demand cleared the market of offerings and carried prices to a higher level during the course of the day. The publication of yearly summaries, showing a record of achievements in excess of any previous year, had a strong sentimental effect on the demand. Confidence was general that the turn of the year would see a relaxation of the money markets, allowing means of speculation to express its confidence by purchase of stocks. The money market was again decidely stringent to-day and very active, the rate going to 15 per cent. early In the day and hovering about that point at later periods. The shifting of loans forced some holders of stocks to throw them over, but other buyers, who seemed to be provided with ample funds not af fected by the shifting of call loans, were ready to take them. The activity in the call loan market, however, was attributed in part to the securing of means for the large buying of stocks which was again in evidence and which was rather better distributed than that of yesterday. Prep arations for the heavy annual disbursements were the largest factor in the strength of the money market. The coalers contiued very active and in the main firm, although there was very large amounts of realizing in Heading. It was considered significant that the brokers who were heavy buyers of Heading yesterday took large amounts of Baltimore & Ohio to-day. A sharp reaction In Sugar was a contributing cause to early heaviness of the market, with the break extending over 3 points. Granting of a temporary injunc tion against the proposed retirement of Northern Pacific preferred caused some depression among the Pacific stocks. An offer by J. P. Morgan & Co. during the day to pay par for Northern Pacific preferred had the effect of allaying some of the apprehension that the formation of the Northern Securities Company would be effectively obstructed. The appearance of the November statement of net returns of the Union Pacific, showing a large increase, was a factor In relieving depression in that part of the market. The November statement of Reading's net earnings, following that for Erie, published yesterday, confirmed the confidence in the coalers. The Eries somewhat supplanted the Readings In strength and activity, and Lackawanna was lifted Vs. Late in the day New York Central, selling minus the dividend, rose 2U over last night. Baltimore & Ohio gained as much. There was a vigorous recovery In Sugar, which carried it more than a point over last night, and Amalgamated Cooper also rallied strongly. Sterling exchange became easier in response to the higher money rate here. This served to soothe the fear tha't gold may go out early in January. Foreign money markets also reflected confidence In a prompt relaxation of money rates after Jan. 1. The bond market was moderately active and irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,Ö70.UOO. United States coupon twos and the old fours advanced per cent on the last call. Following are the day's share sales and the recorded price changes:

Considering that money was in good demand all day and that at times as high as 15 per cent, was paid for it, the market showed a great deal of strength. There were evidences of realizing in the Headings and the volume of transactions in them fell far short of yesterday's total. But this was only natural in view of the sharp advances which they enjoyed yesterday. Sentiment In regard to the coal slocks continues, however, to be decidedly bullish, and to-day found expression in the Erles, which were strong all day and unusually active. Another feature of the market was B. Äc O., which in spite of heavy selling for London account, showed a decided upward tendency. The fluctuations in Sugar were erratic and at one time It was positively weak. There was no news In regard to the property, but the opinion of the street is that the Sugar (situation is by no means satisfactory and thit the recent sharp advance In the stock was almost wholly due to a well conceived plan directed against the short interest. There seemed to be pressure on Amalgamated Copper all day, not only on account of the interminable litigation with Heinze in Montana, but also on the belief that the Insiders In Amalgamated Copper were averse to any better conditions in the copper trade until the declines in some of the outside properties had reached such a point as to make their acquisition possible. During the afternoon the market almost came to a standstill and the closing was dull, but with rather a hopeful feeling prevalent with regard to the new year. Probably money will not ease up for. a week or ten days, or, In other words, until the enormous sums disbursed for interest and dividends have come into circulation. But the fact that money did not go higher than 15 per cent, to-day is taken as a reliable indication that any danger of real stringency has passed. Chicago Stocks Are Active. Granger Farwell & Co.'s Telegram. CHICAGO, Dec. 31. Activity may be justly ascribed to the Chicago stock market to-day. Carbon common, which has been dominant, was freely traded In on orders from Cleveland. Good trading In Biscuit and Can, with a very strong tone to the former on expectation of a gxod report at the annual meeting In February, and steadiness in latter. "L" securities were strong and higher. Metropolitan common selling at 43 and the preferred at 92. N. W. L. bonds were freely traded in at 96. Match was up a point as a result of an interview with the president of the company as to their foreign business, which is represented as "being very encouraging. The market closes for the year in good tone throughout, and betokens higher values early in 1902. Stocks Generally Higher. Granger Farwell & Co.'s Telegram. NEW. YORK, Dec 31. Notwithstanding with higher money rates stocks were kept firm and in most cases advanced during the latter half of the session. All this advance was not held, but the close was generally better than yesterday. There was considerable evening up at the end of the year, but sentiment seems to be for better prices just as soon as the money market ets in shape. This probably will not happen for ten dajs, but fairly high rates are not apt to cause much liquidation, as they are expected to be temporary only. Poultry. LOUISVILLE. Dec. 21.

wn DULL AND CHOPPY TRADE GRAINS FLUCTUATE U'DCIl CONFLICTING LOCAL CONDITIONS. Wheat Closes Unchanged, Corn Fractionally Down and Oat Up -llojr Products Are Lower. CHICAGO, Dec. 31. Wheat experienced a choppy, nervous market to-day, with rises followed quickly by setbacks. Other grains acted In sympathy, but at the close prices were all steady May wheat unchanged, corn He down and oats ;c higher. Provisions closed 10c to 17V2C lower. On the whole, though fairly active, wheat was only a scalping affair, operating under local conditions. There was only a small amount of outside business, due largely to a general timidity against carrying anything over the holiday to-morrow. The bearish factor was the disappointing tone of the cables. Liverpool was up, but not enough toreflect the strength here yesterday, and traders took It for a sign to unload what they acquired yesterday. Some local bulls took advantage of the nervousness of sellers and bought in at the lower opening figures. This brought a quick reaction and an advance which, however, was quickly lost on more selling at the advance. May opened Vsc to Uc lower, at 82c to &l"8c, sold up to S2'ic and back again to Sltt Uc. The last hour of trade was dull and even, the close for May being steady and unchanged, at SSc. Local receipts were fifty-six cars, one of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 473, a total of 523 cars. Last year the corresponding day was a holiday. Primary receipts were oi,000 bu. Seaboard clearances In wheat and Hour were ÖG3.000 bu. Corn followed closely after wheat. May opened slightly lower on cables and had a sharp recovery after the wheat bulge. Conforming also to the next move in wheat, corn lost its early improvement and dropped below the lowest point of the opening range. Pit conditions were somewhat bullish, traders fighting every decline. May ranged between 664140 and Wc and closed steady, down, at CC?8c. Receipts were 250 cars. Oats were sympathetic to a marked extent with the other cereals early but became somewhat independent later in the session. Elevators bought early and the crowd sold. There was considerable strength In the close, with May ic up. at 45!4c. Receipts were 172 cars. Provisions were rather active, though weaker on very heavy hog receipts and correspondingly lower prices at the yards. There was a tendency toward firmness in spite of the weak hog market, but heavy sales of lard, 25,000 tierces by a single house, further depressed the market. May pork closed 17VcC down, at J17.30; lard 17c lower, at 10.U24 and ribs 10c down, at Estimated receipts for to-morrow Wheat. 35 cars; corn, 100; oats, 25; hogs, 35) head.
