Corn sold off with wheat and lower cables, with final prices &@%c lower. Oats closed &@%c under, and provisions with little change. Wheat statistics received no additions Influential one way or the other, but the backs of the -veary bulls, trembling from the heavy load and scoffed at by trade facts and figures, bent still further and tlu- price went to the bottom. At the ling December was unchanged at 66% jc, May a shade up at 70%@70%c. The business of unloading a lot of long began straightway. May sym pathetically followed. The market sagged under puts, but buying against privileges failed to have much effect. December, n< ar the close, was at 65% c, and May at slightly better support ma terialized arid both options steadied. Decembei lower at G5%@66c, -: . ■ _c under at 7UV4@7Ovj«c. As tomorrow will be observed as a holiday, out of respect to the late vice president, traders worked to e\en up deals for a recess of two days.

Smith & Co., St Paul members of the New York stock ex t change and Chicago board of trade ; Liverpool cable says: -'The effect of 1 weaker American markets was counter balanced at the opening by the smaller Argentine shipments, and a poor demand caused the market to ease off later Corn opened unchanged also in sympathy with the steadiness In wheat, but weakened during the morning owing to a very poor demand for corn on spot." Modern Miller Bays: "The flour trade has shown some improvement from the late dull ness, but the course of the wheat market continues to exert a depressing influence on flour, and in no quarter either do mestic or foreign is there a desire mani fested to stock up. The weather con tinues favorable for the growing wheat crop, and excepting slight damage by ties and bugs, is progressing finely. Some apprehension is felt as to the weather turning cold suddenly, which in the ad vanced state of the plant may result se- I riously. ' Paris: Wheat firm at 15@20c 1 higher.

The movement In the railroads proved rather more influential on the general list than in the Industrials.

Paul, Nov. 24, 1599. CATTLE— The receipts of cattle were heavy this week and all the good to choice stock cattle met with ready sale at steady prices. The fair to common classes of stockers were plentiful, but sold at very low prices, lots of them go ing at $2.25 to 52.5H for "pec-wee" and scrub calves, yearlings, Holstein and Jer sey steers. Most of the good stockers sold at $3.40 to $3.75, with choice up to $4. There was a good demand all week for good heavy feeders, which sold at $3.50 to $4.25, according to quality. The heifer market was barely steady until yester day, when there was a good demand for the right quality heifers, most of them going at $3 to $3.20; common at $2.50 to $2.85. Bulk of the good color and good qual ity steer calves sold this week at $4 to $4.25. Shippers should be careful on the weak, little calves, as they are not want ed. Butcher stuff held about steady and canners about 10c to 15c lower. The Profit taking before the close reduced prices. In the majority of the active li.-t net changes are surprisingly small, and while the majority are gains, there are surprising changes in the direction of Losses. The buying of Ba timore & Qhij stocks was large from the opening, but as ihe closing hour approached the deal ings assumed astonishing magnitude. Blocks of many thousand shares of the preferred succeeded each other in quick succession and were deteimlnedly absorb ed on a constantly rising pric?. The buoy ancy of the stock carried it up an exjeme 5%. points and the closing was only slight ly below that. The net gain in the com mon was 1%. There was a heavy de mand for Union Pacific, but profit taking met the advance above F.I and its net gain was only slightly over a point. Deal ings in Pennsylvania were on on unusual ly large scale and it rose an extreme 2%, with a reaction of %. The Hocking Valley stocks gained over a point each on the declaration of the first dividend on the preferred. There was a feverish speculation in Consolidated Gas before the announce ment of the determination not to advancs the price of the product, thus necessitat ing the continuance of the destructive rate war. The stock sold up 1% and then relapsed hy 2 and closed at a fractional recovery. The sensational collapse in Leather came after the rise to 23. From that point the stock sold down without any attempt at support to 18%. A fierce and stubborn contest was waged around 19, from which the supporters of the s ook emerged triumphant, after absorbing ths deluge of offerings. There were some evidences of strength here and there amongst the industrials, notabiy in the iron and steel stocks and j Continental Tobacco stocks. A consid- I erable demand was due to the efforts of I the short interests to cover over the j approaching double holiday. Reports of ! British successes in South Africa were used with some effect by the bulls, al though London was a seller on balance in this market. St. Pauls third week state ment, showing an increase of nearly $114, --000 over last year, and other favorable railroad statements, had a strengthening effect on the list, as did the placing of Hocking Valley preferred on the dividend list with the declaration of the first div idend of 1% per cent. The principal influence in today's trad ing was the expectation that the bank statement tomorrow will make a strong showing and thus give an impetus to speculation. on Monday. The sub.reasury operations for the week show a gain by the banks of $7,857,000. As the loan ex* pansion does not seem to have been large, a very considerable recuperation of re serves thus seems assured. There was a good absorption of bonds at advancing prices. Total sales par value, $2,160,000. United States 3s and new 4s advanced % in the bid price. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Furnished by Charles 11. F. Smith / Co.. members of the New York stock or change.

Milch cows and good springers have sold well all week. Poor milkers and backward springers have to be sold for what they are worth by weight. Vsal calves in good de mand at $5.50 to $« for the best. The bull market has been the worst of the season and suffered 15c to 30c. Fair bologna bulls, $2.25 to $2.40, and good stock bulls, $2.40 to $2.60 today, with good many in yards not sold. HOGS— The hog market has declined for the past three days, opening today (Fri day) 5c lower and closing weak, with the bulk selling at $3.65 to $3.70. Pigs and rough sows, $3.60. SHEEP- Sheep and lambs about steady. Good Western feeders especially in de mand. For market quotations we refer you to the sales published on the same page as this letter.

Holbert & Son, bankers and I. 'brokers, 341 Robert street. National Gettnsin-American Bank building. St. Paul-Strong. Bturgis & Co. wire us: 'In commenting upon this max- ket we think It well to dwell upon the strength shown by good railroad shares, and to express the opinion that the op erations of the next ninety days will be largely confined to these securities. The banks do not gain in their reserves.whlch after all is natural, for the great pros perity of Western and Southern business industries keep the currency at home and check its return to New York. This condition must continue for some time to come, but while it may not be over come by the industrial shares, there is a good reason to believe that there will be a demand for good railroad securities that by its legitimate strength will over come any ordinary restraints imposed by money. Railroad earnings and railroad combinations and economies are on foot in all directions, and with the immense business in sight and waiting to be handled, the future of railroad shares is brilliant. We are glad to note the ful fillment of our predictions in regard to Baltimore & Ohio, and while the pres ent price of the preferred is fully justified by the condition of the property, we feel that the advance of today has been rath er rapid." Bartlett, Frazier & Co., of Chicago, tel egraphed the following to Edwards & Bedell, stock brokers and commission merchants, 110 Endicott Arcade, St. Paul, Minn.: "The London mar ket for American securities shows considerable strength, and the pronounc ed rally made at New York in the late dealings of yesterday has been duplicated here, so that all issues are fully up to parity. The indications are for increased activity in Americans over the holiday, as an easier condition of the money mar ket at New York will encourage bull In terests here to take hold of standard is sues." Wortley: "There are rumors in the street that further developments are pending in regard to Southern Pacific which will make the stock sell materially higher. A good bank statement is ex pected tomorrow and there will probably be some buying of stocks in anticipation of it.' Morse: "Some realizing on the rise, but the market is taking the stock well." Bache & Co.: "The banks have gained, s7,soo,ooo from the subtreasury this week." FOREIGN FINANCIAL— New York, Nov. 24.— The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: "The markets here were halting today, the vic tory at Belmont being regarded as in conclusive and the money outlook being disliked. Today £15,000 was taken for South America, presumably to pay for horses and mules recently bought in Ar gentina and Chili, whence, it is expected, further supplies of that kind will be ob tained. It is also thought that the drain of gold to South Africa will soon be re sumed. Americans were the idlest this week, till New York began to buy, caus ing strength at the close. There was a slight set back in the street. London bought Baltimore & Ohio issues, while New York took Union Pacific, Chesa peake & Ohio and Southern preferred."

Light delivery and driving horses come under that trade and not much of an outlet in wholesale lots is expected before cold weather is on. when a brisk trade undoubtedly will mat< rial iz,>: Drafters, choice (1150160 Drafters, common to good Farm horses, choice SOtflOS Farm horses, common to good Delivery horses 40fi GO CHICAGO, Nov. 24.— Cattle— No prim© cattle on sale.
