Livestock Receipts Are Large, but Generally Grade Good and Mar ket Is Steady. An example of what can be done with fancy stock mas afforded at the tockyards yesterday, when a bunch of sheep and lambs waa moved, th former at $4 and the latter at $5.50. They were shipped In by Hugh Cummlngs, of Haleey. and were the best that have been seen lit the local market In a' long time. If other shipper would follow Mr. Cummlngs example and send In such good quality they would get good price for their stock. Receipts were heavier than usual yester day, consisting of' 1S3 cattle, 19 calves, 800 heep. 610 hog and 201 goat. In quality, the arrival compared very favorably with what ba lately been brought in, and the market therefore displayed a steady tone. Th only point of weakness waa In cattle, though prices on . steers and cows were maintained. Good hoga were firm, and tocker about steady. Chipper In the yard yegterdey were B. 8.

Record Touched by United States Steel. NEW TORK. Oct. 1. The local money mcrket today showed the effect of the spe cial requirements upon It a.ld the higher Interest rate or the limitation of funds offering caused it to hold speculation in re straint. Th further phenomenal rise In Vnlted States Steel to new- high records helped to hold prices against the influence of the dull demand. The estimate of the . week' currency movement failed to show any great offset lng influence to the drain on routine oper ations from the cash 'brought to the city by the Hudson-Fulton celebration visitors. In addition to the adverse trading bal ance, there are heavy maturhUea approach ing of obligations for American securities held In England, notably $25,000,000 of New York City revenue warrants which come due November 1. One million dollar was deposited at the sub-Treasury today for the telegraphic transrer to ban Fran cisco, presumably for shipment to Japan, t As to our interior banking situation, the compilation Just published of reports to the Controller of condition as of September 1 shows how well loaned up were the National banks of the country at that date. The loan Item had increased nearly $100,000,000 since June :i, of this year, and over -$378.-OciO.OOO since September 2a, last year; the de posits had Increased $111,316,000 and $4til. 758.000 for the same period respectively, while the cash holdings had fallen off in the shorter period some $31,800,000 and In the longer period $14,300,000. As a conse quence the percentage of reserve on Sep tember 1 was 21.67. compared with 22.87 on June 23, and 22.47 on September 23 of last year. Money on call opened at 4 per cent and then ran off to 3. with reassuring effect on the speculative tone. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, pRr value, $5.U.15.0O0.
