however, may prove but temporary,
many traders believing that the near
approach of March /, generally known
as farm renters moving day Will
force many cattle marketward which
are being fed on rented farms, owners
usually being DESTROYS of unloading
their holdings before making changes
of farms and If an excessive 'moN-
ing day" run is landed here in the
first half of next week, some reaction
from the present bettered conditions
seems only natural. Trade does not
require heavy receipts, tho the car
shortage promises to be relieved by
next week. should the present mild
weather continue. This weeks run.
the five days total of which stands at
65, 949, against $685. in the same per-
iod a week ago. had been fully up to
requirements. and should this liberal
volume be followed by an excessive
run at the start next week, a further
slump in values would, say traders,
seem in order.
Hogs.
There was an active local and ship
ping demand and prices ruled strong
on an average of 5 higher.
Trading was largely speculative
early, with the shippers doing as much
as they could under the blockaded
condition of eastern roads, While the
weeks shipments are comparatively
large, they are small compared with
what they would be if eastern buyers
were able to get cars.
Sheep.
Today's meager offerings were pick
ed up at prices lately ruling. Lambs
show decline of 10000 cents for the
week.
The eight-cent lamb has disap-
peared. temporarily, at least. Had a
small bunch of gilt-edged lambs been
available, an outsider, who was look
ing for a few might have paid IS, but
the price was not quotable. In a gem
eral way. prices yesterday did not show
much change from Thursdays bad
close but should many lambs arrive
early next week buyers make no Sc
cret of their intention to put the mar
ket ON a still lower basis.
Fewer native sheep and lambs have
arrived this week than for a long time
past. What has come has lacked quail
ity and the proportion of even good
native lambs are now coming in very
small.

Sioux City stockers.

Light steers and even the common
cattle that We're such hard sellers two
weeks ago are 25M50c higher than the
low time This advance in the off
grades of cattle is due largely to the
fact of the general scarcity at this and
other markets of StOckers and feeding
steers that would be fit to so into the
feed lots and buyers have been forced
to take lighter weight cattle or stuff
not of the best quality rather than to
go without. There is every prospect
of prices being well maintained the
coming week on the good quality
strong weight steers. while conditions
of the market on the light weight
steers and common quality cattle of all

ARE MORE COUNTRY BUYERS.
Distributive Trade Shows Gener;
Improvement.

New York, Feb. 25.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
With the exception of a few lake
and seaboard ports which snow the
effect of past bad weather. distribu-
tive trade at most leading markets as
sumes a more favorable aspect. This
is due to the spread of milder weather
conditions and the increase in the
number of country buyers. Especially
active lines are dry goods, notions,
boots and shoes, rubber goods, hats,
hardware and groceries. Jobbers'
stocks are generally reported light and
the feeling grows that spring trade
will be heavy as soon as seasonable
weather definitely sets in.
The general tendency of reports as
to the winter wheat crop is that the
heavy snow covering has helped the
crop.
Among the industries iron and steel
still show relatively the most demand
ard the largest turnover. Pig iron has
sold better at all markets, rails also
have been bought more freely, and To-
| comotives, cars and tracl. supplies
| have been taken more largely.

In almost every branch of the bust
ness there is confidence in active trade
with The appearance of settled weather.
Prices of commodities are still firm.
Railway earnings for the month of
February thus far We're 6.2 per cent
smaller than last year. and foreign
commerce at this port for the last week
made another phenomenal record as to
imports, exceeding the same week last
year by $9.347.234, while the exports
were 1921, 4O6 larger.
Progress is most pronounced in the
iron and steel industry. very liberal

Indicating that confidence is increasing

Leather is irregular, owing to special
