CHICAGO LIVESTOCK

Cattle-Weakness in export demand
for steers, together with Indifferent de-
mand from shippers consequent to the
unseasonably warm weather: has been
responsible for q poor market for the
bulk Of offerings this week. Receipts
have increased nearly $500 over week
ago and decreased demands have proven
combination Of circumstances very
unfavorable to a good trade. The bet
ter grade steers sold relatively poorest
and bulk now show loss of 10c to 15c
compared with week ago, while medi-
UNI and light short-fed classes have gone
hardly more than 10c lower. A reaction
in the demand for good weight steers
on Thursday put the trade in better
shape than the previous day, altho there
is just at present an unsettled feeling
| in the market and turns for the better
or worse will probably depend upon the
condition of the weather. Continued
warm days will surely prove a further
detriment to the beef market. Export
ers paid up to $500 and bought bulk of
their kinds at $5.1O@5.35, while most
medium to good short-fed dressed beef
and shipping steers sold at $4.S5@5.15
and plain light classes under $3.50. Cows
have been hit hard and at the close
bulk arc down 15@25c from week
ago, the good grades showing most de-
cline. Bulls, however, hold steady with
week ago. Calves sold sharply lower
in late days. A few have lately made
$7:75@s, but top has been practically
$3.50. Well bred stockers and feeders
hold fully steady with week ago, and
| there is keen demand for them. Choice
feeders sold up to $40 this week and
few desirable bred classes landed IN
der 1925.

The average price was $6.l9 or l3c

WHEAT REVIEW

Speculation in grains the past week
have been light and prices show de-
clining tendency. The lack of inter
est by the outside speculator, fairly
liberal receipts and practically nothing
doing for export account, has given the
bears considerable courage and they
are using every argument possible to
help to push prices to a lower basis.
There has been lot Of selling during
the week, but it does not look as tho,
they had caused much liquidation Of
long wheat by their tactics.
Outside of New York plungers, the
market has seldom had as little long
wheat on speculative account, which
makes it somewhat difficult for the
bears to force big break by hammer
ing the market at present prices. All
the news in the past few weeks has
been of a bearish character, and to Off
set this the bulls are waiting for de-
velopments of damage to the winter
wheat crop.
The crop went into the winter in
about as good a condition as was pos
sible, but the unreasonable weather has
caused more or less damage owing to
the freezing and thawing it has been
subjected to in the past month or so.
The present spring-like weather will
start the plant to growing and a cold
wave in March, which is to be expected,
would cause serious injury. This is at
present the one hope held out to the
| hull don to- ho in n
crop would cause scramble by the
bears to cover and cause much higher
market.
The bears argument is that natural
conditions governing wheat values have
slowly but surely asserted themselves
and prices are getting down to level
consistent with the laws of supply and
demand. Theories have yielded place
to facts and figures, and a recognition
Of an exportable surplus and the neces-
sity for marketing the same abroad has
become more patent in the light Of our
competition, and the studied indiffer-
ence Of our foreign customers, even on
the declines so far experienced.
! That an exportable surplus is the
final force that regulates the value OF
wheat is being demonstrated when
manipulation is withheld. and this yea,
manipulation is, fortunately for all con
cerned. eliminated by. conditions, specu
lative and otherwise. ..z .- IT,.
4 Judging by foreign markets and the
prices at which competitors are dispos
ing of their supplies, q still lower price
level will be necessary, unless a new
incentive arises to check this tendency

There has been q distinct change in

this spring no longer exists; indeed, the
outlook favors imports of the precious

weeks. Local bank reserves have been

weeks, and as aeresult borrowers In the

Of being forced to give even better

son. While the higher quotations for
money at this center may serve to at
be remembered that the demand For
money at interior points is extremely
heavy. and that the spring requirements
of trade soon will become an active fac
tor in the movement Of currency. New
York is not in a position to lose much
money without disturbance in the
money market, and this fact naturally
will be forthcoming in the shape of
