SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK

Conditions in all branches of the
Sioux City cattle trade, have shown
improvement over last week. Receipts
of cattle on Monday last were 300
head, Or just half the number received
the previous Monday, and this lighter
marketing resulted in the decline of
last week being entirely regained. On
Monday last the market ruled 15@25c
higher on the best feeders, while the
which were the hard sellers last week,
sold 25@4oc higher and recovered last
weeks break entirely. Prospects for
the coming week are bright, if receipts
are not abnorma1ly heavy. p -
The fat cattle market was benefited
by. the more moderate marketing, and
values advanced 15@25c over. last
week s close. Butcher stock comprised
the big share of the week receipts, and
the offerings changed hands at $2.25@3
There was a large percentage Of range
COWS that sold early in the week at
$2.50@3. In "steers big strings Of Da:

the native steers the marketing was
light, with sales ranging from 1850

BANKERS THEFT FUND =.
Money Held in Reserve to Meet Pos
sible Defalcations. ~.

The theft from the National &.City
bank Of securities valued at $4,000,
with the possibility that existed Of the
banks losing a considerable amount
by the theft, brought up afresh this
past week the question of so-called
"hidden reserves,'' says the New York
Times It was recalled that when, "a
few years ago. one, of the leading. ma
tional banks Of this city lost $750,00o
ciaI statement of the bank gave no in
dication that any, loss at all had been
suffered. The amount had. been made
good out Of resources that had not been
reported among the bank s assets, and
thus any impairment Of reported sur
plus was avoided. Sometimes this re.
serve is represented by the actual
price at which they are carried on the
books of the institution, or similarly by
the excess value Of real estate. While
the custom of carrying some such re:
serve to meet contingencies is most
general among banks, many other, cor
porations in a somewhat different form
carry a similar surplus. .te= z: ,":c !
A, conspicuous case of hidden bank
reserves, or in this instance merely. ar
unreported and not an actually con
cealed reserve, is the value Of the Bank
of England's office, which is valued
on the books of the bank at FL. Were
the bank ever brought to the point Of
doing So, here is an asset Of great
value that might be awaited of to make
good loss. The simple process Of
| marking up the valuation Of the, prop
erty to some figure. near it's actua
value would offset a very large sum.
Some conservatively managed indus
trial concerns in similar manner, thru
I the conservative valuation of, assets
create for themselves an actual reserv
that in time of need may prove of ;grea
| benefit. .,..s...ss = .--@rss., L. ~

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

/. Cattle receipts at South st. Paul this
week were very liberal, altho the num-
Der was not equal to, the total here last
week. Market features yere almost the
same as last Weekf,, the scarcity of beef
steers, being very marked, and the bulk
of the offerings consisting of common to
medium, cows. Demand is still very
strong for beef and butcher stuff, and
while packers were able to secure more
time, the number available was not
equal to- the demand. Prices remained
fully steady. Good to choice. grass
steers were still quoted 1915 to 1926,
but there was very little good enough
to bring those prices. '"' .~ -
Stockers and feeders showed up bet
ter this week, owing to the fact that
the quality was higher than during last
week, and also because there were more
as last week, and the bulk of the offer
/ ings came the first two days. Sales
men opened the week by asking strong
prices, but the buying interests refused
OF respond. While the market was &C
tive, with the tone healthy, there was
no gain. Some steers Of good quality

The medium grades continued to make
up the bulk Of the offerings, and while
! they did not move as we'll as the better
kinds, the outlet was better than last
week, when those kinds were very dull
toward the close. Common to fair feed

CHICAGO LIVESTOCK

A firm, healthy tone characterized
Chicago cattle trade the past week,
under mareting Of 74,100 head, against
72,424 the previous week and 71,2Ol
a year ago. Native supplies decreased
in consequence Of a gain Of 5000 In
western range offerings, and this gave
the native trade a strong tone. Closing
sales were largely 10 to 20 cents higher
for all classes, good to choice lots
of prime beeves sold at $685. and many
lat $500 to Sc. Only common and thin
steers sold below $4.25. Range cattle
receipts Of $4,000, compared with $4,000
the previous week and $500 year
ago. Good range steers closed 10 cents
higher, but others were, barely steady.
General cattT trade gives Indication
Of a healthy future, as big receipts
appear to be about over for this season,
and under moderate marketing sellers
view present prices as firmly estab-
lished, while believing top kinds are
in a way to sell higher. Calves closed
SO cents higher, prime vealers selling
at. $7.75 to SO. Stockers and feeders
suffered another drop of Is to 20 in
consequence Of poor eastern demand
The tendency of hog prices was lower
the first half Of the week, with an
advance of 10 cents after Wednesday
The average price for the week was
$3.50, being the lowest week since June
and 70 cents under the week Of Aug
10, high week of the year. Packers
are still very bearish and are talking
$3.50 hogs for the near future. -.
Sheep receipts for the week will stand
close to $4,000 head, against 167 ,46C
as the record rum last week. Trade in
sheep has been strong this week, and
higher than a week ago, best range
wethers making SIS to $5.15. Native
lambs dropped back rs cents about the
| middle Of the week, owing to bai

this has been regained. Top lambs arr
now worth $7.65, bulk fat natives $6.2;

THE WHEAT VISIBLE

Spectators in grain should under
stand that what is termed the official
visible supply of grain does not con-
tain all the grain visible in this coun-
try and Canada, says B. F. Howard,
in the Daily Trade Bulletin. It does
not contain the grain stored in private
warehouses in the larger distributing
markets, nor any grain stored on the
Pacific coast. 1t gives credit to Peoria,
ILL.,, for 1000 bu wheat, while there are
side Of Chicago which have stored an
aggregate Of 100000 to 100000 bu
Of wheat.
