SPECIAL MARKET LETTER.
Sent Weekly from the Union stock
Yards at South Omaha.

The past week has shown some in
crease in the number of western cattle
arriving here, but none fat enough for
beef have yet appeared, the receipts
still continuing to consist of stockers
and feeders. However, each week shows
that cattle on the western ranges are
gaining in flesh. Since our last letter
the market for feeders and stockers has
been very active and encouraging, and
prices have advanced materially, quota
tions which follow showing that prices
are 15 to 25 cents higher than the de
pressed time, say ten days ago. We
quote western yearling $3.50 to $3.50 /;
two and three year old steers "a to $4. so
four year old steers 1915 to $4.25; yearl-
ing heifers 1915 to $4.25; two and three
year old heifers 1926 to So. 81; COWS
81. so to So. 40.
The conditions out in the state govern
ing the trade in feeding cattle and stock
has not changed materially since our
last; but whatever changes have taken
are favorable. The crops of hay and
small grains that are used for feed foI
6IOCk are large anu un0, anu LuNT0 IL
now an abundance of these kinds OF
feed assured. The corn crop is in the
best possible condition to date and
promises well, and unless the season
should be extremely dry from now on,
the yield viii be large. Under all these
favorable crop conditions feeders are
encouraged to make some purchases,
although the largest number of feeders
are still waiting the result of the grow
ing corn crop.
The number of western sheep coming
to market is still small, and be said thai
no local ted sheep are now arriving
Since our last letter trade has been ac
tive SO far as the small number received
gave chance for purchases, and prices
have been steady and firm, and in some
instances fair advances have beer
shown. We quote western sheep al
follows: Wethers $376 to $4.25; ewel
$3.50 to $4; yearlings $4.25 to to $4.85
lambs $4.75 to $5.25.
