These are sure halcyon days in the cattle business, with even bet ter prospects in sight. .Sever In the history of the cattle business have cattle had such a promising future. After the moderate runs for the last month up to this week prices were on an upward climb, and as everybody knows the receipts from now on will be verv llght. packers are considering more than ever the matter of future supplies. They are forcing the country to awaken to oppor tunities that the war is now producing. Ail quality and finish Is selling well. Short-fed cattle are finding good sale, while the crop of th bovine world Is as rich In profits as the "war brides' of Wall street when at their best. Determined to get supplies ahead, even local packers have been getting to buying at country points Instead of waiting for arrival on the open market. The trade tho last few da has been offered mostly common and medium varieties of beeves, which, although not having as good a demand as prime stuff, have been finding excellent sale. Prices have been on a steady basis with Monday on most all beef lines, while feeder stuff has scored slight ad vances as have calves. "Receipts this year are showing a con siderable Increase over the same period a year ago, there having been 3684 head re ceived the first ten days, against 2563 a year ago. This gain is not expected to hold the next few montrt. although the number of cattle in the Nc.thwest to market dur ing this year la co.iderably larger than last year.

HIGHEST- SINGE SIXTIES HIOES AXD LEATHER IP TO CIVIL VAR PRICES. ' Enormous European Demand Drmtna American Tanneries Present r Stock; Far Below Normal. Not since the war between the North and the South have prices on hides and leather attained to the high levels established within the past few months. While there has been some receaMon from the top fifture for hide prices reached In November, there has been no similar reset Ion In the market for sole leather, according- to trade advices from New York, the prices on the latter prevail ing; at the close of 1916 remaining the highest of record in more than a half cen tury. It was not until the first half of the year was ending that the effect of the influences that have since carried prices to their present elevstion began to be apparent. In this branch of the trade, as in all others, the fundamental cause of the price up heaval was directly connected with condi tions produced by the Kuropean war. The bide and leather trades were among the lHfn. of American industries to feel the full effect of thosK Influences, and In fact did not pronouncedly feel them until well into the Fall months of last year, or until more thsn two years sfter the beginning of hos tilities. Then for a period of severs weeks advance followed advance to the accom paniment of the greatest home and foreign buying activity ever before known. The enormous- consumption of leather In army footwear and other war purposes hav ing passed the producing capacity of bel ligerent countries, notwlthstsndlng their great extension to meet tne emergency caused by the war, American tanneries have been drawn on most liberally during the last few months to make up the deficiency. An Instance tending to show the immense quan tities thus absorbed is given by one order from Russia, the particulars of which leaked out. Tnis single transaction, according to well authenticated reports, took out of American tanneries 750,000 sides of oak leather. Besides making heavy purchases of leather here the entente governments have continued to comb the producing markets of South America and other quarters of the world for hides to be used by their owa tanneries and thereby have so greatly cur tailed the supply available for American consumption as to prevent at any time. In the latt quarter of 1916 at least, even mod erate accumulations of hide stocks by im porters here. At present the total avail able stock on the spot amounts to but 23.405 Jildes and kips, against 191.S50 at the end of 3015. Comparisons made from week to week since the middle of 1916 have shown as great, in soma instances even greater, disparity in the holdings in each year at the dates they were mads.

The most interest ing event of the day in the financial dis trict, publication of the weekly bank state ment, showing an actual cash gain by local banks of more than $60,000,000, did not develop until after the close of an ex ceedingly dull and meaningless session of the stock market.

Tbe cash gain disclosed by the bank statement was partly offset by a loan ex pansion of more loan 41.oou,oo0, due in all probability to some Important financing. This was fully neutralized, however, by an increase in reserves of virtually $41,000,000. or a total of about $!0.000,0oo in the last three weeks, bringing total actual excess re serves up to the formidable figure of $181. 438.620. which slightly exceeds any weekly showing of the past year. - The mercantile agencies noted a degree of caution, and higher prices for crud. and refined oils were reported.
