SLUMP IN CATTLE MARKET.
Chicago Market Overloaded and Prices
are Not Very Encouraging.

Great Falls, Sept. 2.-In their week
ly review OF the range cattle market,
received yesterday by the Tribune.
Rosenbaum Bros. e Co.. live stock
commission ferchants of Chicago, say:
The demoralized condition of the
range cattle market is wholly attrib-
utable to the liberal supply of cattle
and it is much to be regretted that
a season which opened so suspicious
ly. and with such a very encouraging
outlook. should develop such an enor-
nous break in values in so short a
period and cause a decline in prices
OF 81 to $3.50 per cwt. from the open
ing prices Of the season.
There is considerable criticism be.
ing made by owners, and We r in
! clined to believe that there is more
truth than poetry" in their reasoning.
that some of our commission firms
here are more or less to blame for
the excessive runs of range cattle now
being marketed, and bad break in
prices. 1t seemed to be the fad
early in the season to sell a few cat
tie at outside prices, and the tail
ings at any old price. This was not
very difficult, as there were but few
rangers" coming TO the market. and
eastern buyers were in the market for
a few head. and consequently a few
cars of cattle were sold at enormously
high prices, and as these top prices
were extensively advertised, the re
suit is apparent, and We are hav
ing an unusual run of rangers for the
month of August. In August. 1895
there were only 105, 900, when the sup
ply of rangers for the entire season
was nearly double what 1t will be this
year.
AS to prospects for an improvement
in the market in the near future, We
can only say that the receipts must
materially decrease before such fay
orable reaction can be expected.
