As exclusively predicted In The Journal
yesterday there was a decline of J6o in
the - srlce, of . cattle, steers ; of select
qaallty going aa low aa $4.25. although
aome. few aales were reported at i $4.40
and. $4.50 f However, today killer are
not willing to pay over, the lower price.
Following the ; heavy run of cattle
In -.the yard yeterday , buyer became
unusually Indepencont and therefore
tooli their' leisure about picking up sup
plies, J The run today , was only fair,
but,-added ta the -heavy showint-of
yesterday, made quite a bearish argu
ment : against the high:- values which
have ruled ao lone ' -.
, Today's run of cattle Was 210 head.
compared with 1090 yesterdayt 162 Tues
day, 4 1 7 Monday, zzb Saturday, no Fri
day and 843 head a week ago today. .
Best Orada Continue Wanted. ;
Wiile buyers seem to have- taken
snap judgment of the big showing, of
supplies - 4n- order to beat down Ibe
price, this comes aa a natural conse
quence following tne very high' values
which have been forced upon killers
for ao long a period. Demand In the
yarda la atill one-sided and, while some
neglect of poor quality ia shown, beat
stuff is wanted at the prlcea listed.
unia applies both to steers and cows.
Hop Quotations Are HemlniaL
While The Journal is not ouotlna-
any change in local hog quotations to
day, tha values listed are Of a nominal
tature because there are no hog offer
ing. With interior buyers- paying as
high as $8 for supplies at primary
points, mere is little oouot now that
the nrice here-would be forced to $9,
but as no arrival are shown and no
actual transactions are made, tha nlae.
Inv of that market at that riorure wonM
be a " trifle premature, although the
onaneea are to t that the advanca
will be made. . - - . ,j

New York, July 15. The advance ofj
$1 a ton In the price of steel bars and
generally healthful conditions in the
steel -trade, forced recovery of U. S.
Steel Corporation shares In the stock
market today and put the general mar
ket in a sounder condition. .
Steel common waa really the only Is
sue that showed any degree of tntereat
In : today's unusually dull session.'' It
was extensively supported by the Mor
gan crowd and closed 1 points above
the final price of yesterday while pre
ferred gained point -
Readlng common sold ex-dlvidend 2
per -cent today and considering recent
events waa quite strong.
Colorado Fuel & Iron received its supr
port from the same part lea boosting the
steel share and It closed a point-above
yesterday, . s --r , . .-....
Harriman shares ware very quiet but
fairly steady with fractional 'gains in
both Southern paclf lo and Union Pa
cific. .,, -
Promise of success for Atchison bonds
did not-ln - any -wayffGt-tha stock,
for if anything, Atchison was slightly
weaker than yesterday. .
Iron Age says that a more cheerful
tone prevails in the whole iron trade;
The fact that Canada Is expected to
draw gold from the United States and
that more funds will likely go to Argentina,-
was one weakening influence
today. .v : ..;, v-.i,..

Roger Cornell, trainer of the Port

in tha national champlnnahlpa at Seattle
thr second weelr-in August, corneu
closed with the club yesterday, and
active 'practice of the stars will com

Cornell la one ot the greatest ath

experience extending over 20 yeara
If there la anything Tn any of the men,

that won so many points at the world's

He trained the All-California football
