HIGH PRICES
Tells the Story Of the Chicago
Market
With the Demand Still Brisk
for Good Cattle.
Choice Rangers Scarce and
Needed.
The Cattle Market.


special DlSpatcn 10 lHE LEADER.
CHICAGO, Sept. S.-Cattle receipts are
running very heavy and the general quail
ity of the natives is away down. Fully
three fourths of the daily arrivals are
rangers, and of the natives there does not
average to be over a hundred head Of
choice grade and only a few hundred head
that are really good. Desirable natives
worth from SAT- to 1915 sell readily
enough at fully former figures and ship
pers have orders for So. 500 6. so beeves
but there is no such stock on sale. All
grades below these are lower. Western
rangers right at the start suffered a
straight cut of l5(025c and statesmen hay
ing natives were obliged to meet this and
oftentimes go a little lower. Texans are
off about 5@20c and weak. Shippers
search the yards in vain for cattle suited
to their rants and then have to put up
with what they can get. Buyers from
Detroit, Pittsburg and other points are
here daily looking around and taking
light weight steers and choice Westerns.
Some lots of these far West cattle are
more or less bruised, but the majority are
coming in in splendid condition.
Rangers are attracting more attention
than farm stock of corresponding goods
and choice rangers sell at good prices.
Cattlemen from the Southwest are not
generally satisfied with the prices which
their stock tetrhes here. Many of them
claim that with the selling off of calves
and cows for veal and beef coupled with
two u~nfavorable seasons the supply of
stock down there is very short. They
predict that when the true condition of
affairs is understood values will materially
advance. As noted above buyers now
have to depend to al unusual extent upon
this class of stock for shipment both alive
and in the carcass. but with the larger
number in sight daily here and at other
Western points there is certainly no pros
pect of an immediate upturn. Still
dressed beef men and tanners are free
buyers, and nothing decent has to go
over, some dealers claiming that the
early decline was nearly wiped out
towards the close of the week. On Tues
day one lot of l4OS-lb fancy Montanas
made 1925, the highest figure so far.
The cattle were in prime condition and
strictly grass fed so that they made more
money for the breeder and grower than
corn-fed steers at Sc. IS. Texas steers are
going at 50. 3O@3.l5 with Indians at
So. 25C93 so.
Good cows, as for some time past, sell
reasonably we'll at satisfactory prices.
Common stuff and mixed lots are dull and
easier. Poor qualities, of course, FREEDOM
mate.
Stockers and feeders are still dull, al
though good will bring good prices. 1t
will take a few killing frosts to revive this
trade. The promise OF a big corn crop is
inducing the cattle man of the West to
contract for stock to feed from the ranges
of Colorado aud Wyoming. and it is
likely a big business will be done.

Miss Minnie Gillum sang Consider the

manner that she was made the recipient

Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Hicks.
Everyone agrees that the musicale at
Mrs. Carey's was a thoroughly successful
affair. Those who enjoyed the dance
afterward are especially loud in their
praises. No one Of the musical selections
can be praised more than another, unless
perhaps the last piece rendered, Handel S
Largo, which was magnificent. Some
regrets were expressed that in the four
part song Simon the Cellerer," Mr..
Simon, the cello er did not take part.
The Queen Anne club held their
monthly meeting at the residence of Mrs,
Glover on Monday afternoon. The topic
was George Eliot. A paper was read by
Miss Grace Hebard, which was pro
nounced by the club and guests the equal

The club are discussing vegetarianism, and
a few members think the scheme worth
trying.
