MARKET LETTER.

Greer, Mills & CO., who have
Live Stock Commission Houses
in all Of the principal markets,
write from their South Omaha
house:
aThe continuous and large dec
line in the market for all kinds of
cattle, since the great strike
reached the bottom last week for
this session, up to date. The bulk
of the cattle now coming to mar
ket are off of the range or grass
cattle, and, although the packers
claim they are as well fixed as ever
to handle the business, they have
not done over rs per cent their
normal business at any time.
They are, however gained each
week. The low prices last week
caused an increase in the demand
for feeders as we note a reaction
of 10 and rs per cent on nearly all
grades Of cattle this week, includ :
ing cows and stock cattle. "This
strike has caused so many changes

and unless something unusual hap

men, the chances are not very
Ifattering for much permanent adj
vance. The corn crop is. in good
shape, but it will take until Sep
|temberI5th before it can be count
ed assured but prices are still high
from a feeders standpoint and,
unless feeding cattle sell low, the
demand will not be large as usual.
The River markets have
stood up better than the eastern
markets, specially on feeders, al.
though the steers and cows have
]also sold well BY nsparison.
Sheep and lamb markets are

conclusion that the botnbartiment by

sidsrsd worthy 10 be reported TO the
emperor. In consequence consider
able satisfaction at the continued
fruitlessne@s OF tho japanese as

The military authorities seem TO
manifest no dispieasure al the Jap

trary they declare that such bonn
