high mohair market Is not good. Judging
from tbs present conditions In ths East
ern aad foreign marksts. Tha carry-over
la very light, however, and this will be a
factor In the situation. The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin savs:
The situation localty so far aa the mar
ket for mohair la concem.nl la absolutely
without change., stocks being extremely
limited and demand being practically nil.
The mlils have covered their present re
quirements and Indeed have purchased
ahead for some lime to come.
In England mohair yarn sptnnsrs state
that they caa find no particular business
oa ths consuming end of the trade snd
so are aot anxmue to buy raw material,
notwtthatamltng the fart that they could
undoubtedly get It much cheaper at the
moment than they could some time back.

High Dividend Payer Goes Be

GENERAL LIST IS DULL
St. Paul Shows Strength as Result
of Favorable) Earnings Report
for I)ec"niber Selling of
Steel Continues.
' NEW TORK. Feb. 2. Trading In the
stock markst today waa altogethsr of a
superficial and unimportant character. The
volume of business wss light and more
than ordinarily restricted to ths operations
of the professional element. Net changes,
except In the cass of coalers, which were
subjected to some pressure, wsre slight.
For the first time since the Introduction
of Lehigh Valley shares In this market
that stork, a 1 per cent dividend payer,
sold under Reading, which prices only t
per cent There was no known develop
ment to account for this condition, but
board room gossip bsd It that Lehigh Val
ley la selling "ex-mystery," while Read
ing has yet to make Its much discussed
dividend distribution.
Union Pacific and United States Stsel
were moderately active, but frequently re
flected selling of a character that has
msrked these particular Issues for tha past
fortnight.
EL Paul showed some strength as a re
sult of Its rather favorable earnings for
December, the net showing an Increass of
about $460,000. The Puget Sound division
of that system reported a gross Increase
of $31,000. which was reversed Into a net
decrease of 162.000 by reason of a heavy
Increase In operating expenses.
The Burlington system reported a heavy
grosa loss for December, which was pulled
down to a vsry trifling net loss because of
economise In operation.
The bank statement was notable chiefly
because of the slight difference shown In
the "average" and "actual" tables. There
was an actual cash loss of over $3,000,000.
Instead of an eatlraated gain of $10,000,000.
while loans Incressed over $24,000,000. excess
rssh reserves fell about $8,000,000 to $40.
7&0.000. Today's statement was the first
of ths year to show an actual cash loss.
Bonds were steady with no special feature.
Total sales, par value. $2. 02$. 000. Govern
ment bonde were unchanged on call through
out the week.

CATTLE CLOSE LOWER
MARKET EASY BECAUSE OF
LARGE RECEIPTS, LIGHT CALLi.
Hogs Firm at the End of the Week.
Inquiry for Mutton Con
tinues Good.
There was no trading at the stockyards
yesterday, business for the week having
closed on the preceding day. Recelpta yes
terday were 65 feeder cattle, shipped by
W. L. Dlshman. from Rosevllle. Cal.. and
101 hogs, shipped by C. K. Lucks, of Canby.
Recelpta for the past week have been:
Cattle 1780. calves 118, hogs 1093, sheep
2b39. horses and mules 20.
The cattle market continues weak with
more offering than the buy ere care to han
dle. This depression Is no doubt due to
the fact that trade In dressed beef Is very
light as compared to former seasons, as
well as the heavy runs for the last month.
Although the quality of cattle waa excep
tionally good the market was badly demor
alized during the week and prices fell off
st least 15c from last week's quotations.
Best steers are selling around $5.90 to $5.95,
cows from $4.75 to $5.00 for the very best
grades. Bulls and stags are weak at $4.00
to $4.-5 for the best. A very dragey mar
ket In the cattle division has characterised
the past week's trade.
The hog market haa stiffened up some
what. The run for the week was compara
tively light and buyers showed a disposi
tion to take hold of what was offered.
Market closed strong tor the week at $6.70,
an advance over last week's quotatlona.
The demand for mutton continues good
and all sheep arriving on the. market In
the week found ready sale at prlcea previ
ously quoted. The week closed steady to
strong with lambs selling around 5c, weth
ers $4.75 to $4.85, best ewes, $4.00 to f4.25.
