English cables quote American steers
steady at 1lV13c, which is a half cent

thes heaviest and best corn-fed steers in
this oeuntry are exported to England
that the, prices are made there. This
is not thss case. The great cattle mar
kets Of the world are in America. and
the price of heavy fat cattle declined in
Chicago aid Kansas City before they did
in Englan4 or ON the continent.
