The receipt of sheep and lambs this week have been small, showing a decrease of over 800 compared with last week, over 700 compared with the same time a year ago and 3.S00 compared with the corresponding week two year agt. The receipts thus far this year are over 24.000 smaller than the same period last year. Tin has been another week of alight changes In price. On account of the small supplies the tendency has been toward a higher level, and occasionally sales were 25c higher than last week, but outside conditions did not admit of any iermanent improvement, and prices at the extreme close of the week wre net perr;t1hly better than the close of last week. The demand has not been Important from any quarter, and shippers and local butchers have been about equal buyers. The highest sales this week were $3.25 for lambs and S3. 50 for sheep. The receipts to-ilay, as usual at this tb :e in the wwk, were small, and there was really no occasion for any quotable change la price-.

UNION STOCK YARDS. INDIANAPOLIS.

Nov. 23. Cattle Receipts. 20u; shipments fair. I Ihe receipts of cattle this week exhibit a decrease ot over 1.800 compared with last week, j

2uo compared with the same time a year ago and an increase of ittu compared with the corresponding time two years ago. Thus far this year ihe PSattpta are nearly 2,500 larger than the same period lust year. At the close of the business yesterday the receipts thus far this mouth art 3,300 smaller than the same period a year ago. From the seller's point of view the market this week has been vary respectable, and, in fact, taking it all through, more satisfactory than it has been for some lime past. The supplies have been just about large enough to meet the immediate requirements of the trade, and, with a good demand from both !ocal and outsld sources, the trading at all times has teen active and the tendency In values upward. It might be said that there was a gradual improvement in the general market lor fat cattle all week, and at the close prices were usuully xepoiled fuiiy 25c higher than the close of last Wwek. while In not a few cases sates were no Ooubt Säe higher. There lias also been a steady demand for Mockers and feeding cattle, and moderate receipts hav sold at fully steauy prices. The highest sales reported tnia wees were 44 lor steers, $!.& lor hellers, $4 fur cows, 4.25 lor bulls ana 7.f tur calves. The receipts to-day were equal to the average at this Usaa in the week, but not quite as laige as last fcaturuay. anJ the same as a year ago. Tnere were several varieties ot cattle represented, but not enough of all kinds to establish a range in prices. The quality of the arrivals was iairl satisfactory, and, with a steady demand i:ra both local and outside sources, the trading was reasonably active and a efearaaca va nuule promptly at fuiiy steady prices compared with yesterday, and occasionally prices appeared to be a little stronger.

The cattle market made some little improvement during the week closing to-day. The feeling Is not only stronger, but the better grades are considered a little higher than at the opening of the week. The demand is steady from local sources for good butcher stock, but th- re is little or no outlet for the common and medium half-fatted kinds. The calf market has held firm, top kinds at the close being worth 17.50.

Hogs Receipts, 9.000; shipments, 2.50'. There has been a good run of hogs this week, the total being only about .500 less than last week, 5.000 less than the same week a year ago and ,500 less than the corresponding time two years ago. Thus far this year the receipts are over 210,000 smaller than the same i-riod last year. Receipts for the month thus far are over 40 Ova) mailer than the corresponding time a year ago For the week ending ,illlx ll0al packers bought a total of 2o.o2. against 30 kxi the preceding week and i.2.2 the week a year ago. During the same period the shipments were 7.035. against 11.529 the preceding week and 7.S43 the corresponding n a year ago There wexe frequent changes In the price of hogs again this week, and for some time It was a question wno had the advantage, BWyars or sellers. Conditions finally however, favored the selling side and they succeeded In advancing pi Ices. At the beginning of the week a gain of 5$pjc was made, but on Tuesday this was all lost, and on Wednesday buyers succeeded in getting a lower average. The demand following the holiday was very good, especially from outside sources, and gv gain of from 5c to loc was made la prices At tae extreme close of the week the average was strong at the advance and values were generally at least loc higher for heavy hogs and around 5c higher for light hogs than the close lat wek. A feature of the market this Week has been the good quality repressed, and a largi pen.cnt.ig of the consignments have been hogs of good weight. Packers, of course, were not favorable to any advance In the market, but they are being forced Into paying higher prices by a vary good request from outbid sources. The nUhest price obtained this wee was fS.öe. which 1 the highest since Nov 17. and the lowest top price was $6 25. The reosipts to-day were the largest of the week and more than twice as large as last Saturday and

NEW YORK, NOV. 29. The professional traders, who practically monopolized today's narrow stock market, bid up Louisville on professed belief that the dividend is to be increased, and Brooklyn Transit on the showing of increastMi net earnings for October. These movements served to overcome trie' heaviness of the opening dealings. Commission houses with Washington connections circulated alleged verbatim extracts from the President s forthcoming: message of a much milder tone on the subject of trusts than some of the recent alleged forecasts circulated by bear traders, but the market failed to develop animation, owing to a general desire to I the bank statement before making commitments. There was a spilling; out of stocks when the statement appeared, but supporting orders were met, and the mark4rt mllftM and closed steady. The flstWaW In cash was less than anticipated from the known movements of money, but the heavy 'ncreasc in loans was the disquieting feature. It is said that Interior banks have been calling loans placed in this market earlier in th season and the demand on the local banks for accommodations has thereby been increased. The free loaning here by interior banks early In the season gave liag to the hope that they were so largely supplied that the usual interior demand for moving the crops would be less than usual this season. The accommodations then offered, however, hftYC been largely recalled. This week's loan ii m of the bank also undoubtedly represents preparations by corporations to make the Dec. 10 disbursements. These payments

are likely to be returned to the local money-

market after their receipt Dy siock anu bondholders The payment in London on Mondav for the stocks of constituent com

panies in the shipping combine also mark d

the requirements whicn nave neipeu tu hold up the sterling exchange rate here and to draw from local sources.

This week a lew special Influences had a

dominant effect on the whole list, so far

as the price movement was concerned, without, however, inducing any important degree of activity. As the special develop

ments have been of conflicting import, tne

price movement has -been irregular and

constantly fluctuating. This Irregular

movement has been over a narrow rangt, in consonance with the small actual participation in the market. The most impor

tant event of the week was the tormai an

nouncement of the lease of the Manhattan

to the lnterborough Rapid Transit Com

pany, the corporation which is to operate the subway railroad in New York city. The favorable effect of the Manhattan lease

was neutralized by the disclosure of a

divergence of views and a display of rancor

over the control of the Coloraao t uei ana Iron Company. The fact that George Gould and E. H. Harriman were In open conflict over securing proxies for the coming annual meeting of this company created an uneasy feeling. It was sought by the Issuance of reassuring statements to allay the feeling that the harmony of the railroad situation was endangered, but the

depressing effect on the stock market was not altogether removed. The disclosure i

of a conflict of such powerful Interests inevitably causes disquietude. It is probable, however, that the hesitation and uncertainty revealed in the securities market was due fundamentally to general causes rather than any special events. The sustained strength of the foreign exchange market through the heavy merchandise export period holds the constant threat of gold exports over the market. Interior money markets are reported delaying the seasonable return flow of currency from the Interior. The condition of interior bank lean accounts leads to the supposition that the process of heavy additional capital outlay has gone on the country over, in small enterprises as well as in large. The yearend settlements are yet to be met, and foreign creditors stand waiting to draw on any additional resources which may be yielded to the New York money market by the return of cash from the Interior. Money resources for speculative use are in scant supply, and financial authorities and powers are averse to seeing large credits used for speculative purposes. The drop in silver to the lowest price in the history of the world has been an incidental Influence In the market, specifically on the American Smelting stocks, and generally by reason of the embarrassments caused to the silver standard countries and their reflection on the world's financial centers. The bond market has been dull, but prices of investment issues are well sustained. United States twos, the threes registered and the fives declined per cent. each, as compared with the closing call of last week. Following are Saturday's share sales and the recorded price changes:

therefore, the statement was out of harmony. The required reserve was reduced 12.062. C7&, which sum added to the net decrease of cash made $3.743.675 as the reduction in surplus reserve, which now Stands' at $15.7S6.30O; at the corresponding period List year it was $13.414.575. Computed on the basis of deposits, less J4n.O0 of the government, the surplus Is $25.828.775. The circulation showed only the small increase of $96.100. indicating that the expansion of this item, which has been so important, beginning with October is

now regarded as unnecessary. The average (iallv earnings were $'73.00O.000, against $2il.- - in the previous week. It is noteworthy that through the increase of the capital of one of the banks from $500.000 to $1 ...si.000 the total capital of the clearing house banks has been augumented to $101 -171 109; the surplus and net profits are $118 - ;::,. too."

A Little Knrly Strenath Quickly Ils-

sipated Many Traders Hold Aloof 1 1 ck Products Show Small Loss.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29 Dullness prevailed

to-day on the Board of Trade, and prices

In general wen- depressed, December wheat

closing 7iilc and May c lower; corn lc down, and oats Atff4c lower. January

provisions closed unchanged lo 2Vfcc under yesterd.iy.

Wheat rul-d dull. There was little dis

position to trade, owing to the Inactivity of the leading long, and while the eany market was a trirk- lüter than yesterday's close, it gradually weakened and the Sj6ttM

was near the bottom. The wtakness In

corn was a depressing influence anu continued liquidation helped keep down prices.

December opened unchanged to c lower

at 74-"4c to 714'. and declined until t'ic

was reached. The close was 4jlc lower

at , May closed He lower at

id-c, aiter selling oeiween iai,'! .jc io 76c. Clearances of wheat and Hour were

equal to 851,000 bu. Primary receipts were

1,150.000 bu, compared with 1,017,000 a year ago Minneapolis and Duluth reported i ipts of 992 cars, which, with local receipts of 115 cars seven of contract grade made a total of 1.107 cars, against 1,030

last week and 1.015 a year ago.

Corn was firm at the opening. wet

weather throughout the corn belt deterring the free movement of the Krain. Scattered

liquidation, however, soon caused a sharp

decline, but covering by shorts brought about a rallv. The volume of business

was only moderate. December closed lc lower at 54c. after ranging between 554c

and 55e. May closed aaH6e lower at

424fr425s,c, after selling between 424c and

4 , '4J4c Receipts were 396 cars, thirteen

of contract grade.

There was considerable selling pressure

in oats and in the absence of material support weakness developed and the close was

lower. Local traders favored the selling side and there was little demand except from shorts taking profits. December closed &c lower at 30c, after ranging between 304e and 3HAc. May closed He

lower at 324c. Receipts, 215 cars. Provisions were strong early, on smaller receipts of hogs and higher prices at the

yards. Covering by shorts caused a further

advance, but later In the day free selling by brokers caused a decline and the close was easy, with January pork unchanged

at $15.85; lard, 2Vc lower at $9.52:. and rigs 21&C lower at $8.17.

The banks now hold $15,7S6,300 in excess of reserve requirements under the 25 per

The Financier says: "The important fea

tures or the official statement of the New

York Associated Banks last week was the

expansion of loans by $11,608,800 for the first

time since the beginning of the month,

the result of recently improved bank con

ditions. It is probable, however, that part of this expansion was due to special

causes, such as the leaning of funds which

had been accumulated preparatory to their

disbursement for December interest and

dividends, and also in anticipation of pay

ments on syndicate accounts early in the

week. The activity and rising tendencv

of securities on the stock market doubtless

also contributed to the Increase in loans

There was a net loss of only $1.711.000 in

cash, specie being decreased $2.067,800 and legal tenders Increased $356,800, whereas

the estimates based on the traceable move

ments of money during the week Indicated

a loss of $3.432.yJ0. Fart of the discrep

ancy may be accounted for by the fact

that on Friday tnere was a transfer through the suhtreasu' . to San Francisco of $500,000, and do iM less other large

amounts were arawn -om the banks on

the last day of the ban; week, which with

drawals were not included In the estimates of cash movements. Deposits were increased $8,130,700, which amount is $1,767,100 less than that called for by the in

fraction stocks continued to display strength, more especially Brooklyn Rapid

transit, tne buying ot which was consid

ercci good. An impression prevails on the

floor that the deal between the Manhattan Railway Company and the Interborough

Company is only a preliminary to a larger deal In which all the local tractions will be Interested. In the best informed circles the

story is received with a great deal of skep

ticism. Louisville fc Nashville was fever

ish, and after reaching the high level of

yesterday reacted sharply on rather heavy liquidation. The movement in Sugar con

tinued, and is so far without any definite

information being given to account for It,

The bank statement was a distinct disap

pointment. The loss in cash was smaller than had been expected, amounting only to ?1.70,000, but no one had looked for any

such Increase In loans as $11.000,000. The

disbursements incident to the end of De

cember will be larger than they were last

year. Taking these facts into consideration

there seems to be god grounds for belief that within the next thirty days the money

market will pass tnrougn a period of con

siderable disturbance. Prices fell rather

rapidly after the publication of the bank statement, but just before the close a partial recover?' set in, due to buving by

shorts. Final quotations were about half way between the highest and th lowest of the day.

Room traders evened up and there is not much borrowing demand in the loin crowd. The only thing to do, apparently, as has been said before, is to buy stocks on quick drops for a scalp and when lair profit is in sight take it that is, until there is some change In conditions.
