Pgevious to the final slump the ¢ of prices was quite prosper- ously upward, There were reports of assurances re- celved by the Btate department regarding the Intentlons of Great Britain and Ger- many in Venezuela, which tended to show & better feeling in that direction, but the principal cause of the rise was the amsuring formation of the bankers' po providing $50,00,00 for use in a_possib emergency. The effect was to relleve the stock market. Offerings became light in View of the fact that It was found pos: #ib to manipulate prices on very slight purchases. This was the notable case [among some of the inactive stocks, among which the floating supply is always lght, expeclally In the Vanderbilt group. There was some surprise expressed, however, over the extent of the protective measures taken by the tunks. There the excess surmise | a8 a possible need for these measuros, which has not been dlsclosed, and a dls- position to” consider that the existence of such @ need was indicated by the forma- tion of the pool. While It was recognized that no part of this fund would likely find Its way directly into the stock market, it was considered probable that further with- drawals of loar om the stock market would be avolded, owing to the unfavor- able sentiment which the heavy stock liqui- dation has caused.

Part of the pres- ent stringency 1s undoubtedly due to the withholding of funds by persons who have become timid, or who have determined to walt for high money rates before lending their resources.

In fact-it was the middie of the forenoon before there were enough cattle on hand to attract the attention of buyers, 50 that it was late before much business was transacted. When the market finally opened, however, it was evident that buyers wanted the cattie and the prices paid could be quoted fully steady with yvesterday so far as the better grades were concerned. There was about the usual proportion of cornfed steers Included in the receipts and, although the market was slow in o Just_about steady pri were pals warmed-up cattle were of course neglected, the same as usual, but still even those brought Just about’the same prices that were paid yesterday. The cow market was fairly active and steady. Packers seemed to want the can- ners and medium grades as well as the better kinds of cornfeds, so that sellers did not experience much trouble in selling out at steady prices Bulls, veal calves and stags did not show on. change to be worthy of mention. was a small supply of stockers and feeders in the yards and the demand was also very limited. Very few buyers were in from the country, so that speculators did not care to buy any large number. The bet- ter grades, though, sold without much trouble at steady prices, but when it came to the common stuff sellers found it al- most tmpossible to get & buyer to even look at them.
