Men who have been making careful

no bullish enthusiasm among the sell
ers. altho they have been enabled to
hold values for the bulk on a level

have met competition from western
range steers, and these do not show ma
terial appreciation either in values or
in strength Of demand. In the first

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK

Conditions governing the stocker and
feeder trade this week have been de-
cldedly against the shippers interests.
After last week. brisk trade and good
clearance the market this week opened
with heavy receipts and there was a
reversal Of conditions. Bad weather
set in, causing heavy shrinkage in
cattle marketed, and again there was
a narrower outlet to the country. On
Monday there was lowering of values
and the market broke 10@15c, and by
Wednesday last weeks advance was
lost, with prices generally Csc lower
than last week. In some cases the
strictly good feeders selling from 81 to
4:35 did not uffer this much, but the
8o0@l,oo0 lb steers selling at $4,000
and inferior cattle, especially the light
weight steers, closed the week 35@5Oc
lower, selling at $2.50@$3.50. Yard
traders had a peddling business thru
out the week, and even the liberal con-
cessions made did not attract the
usual number Of buyers. The outlet
to points in Nebraska was blocked by
the severe washouts and stock trains
were abandoned. The week closes with
a poor clearance out of the Spectators
division, and this fact will naturally
have its effect on the trade the coming
week.
Fat cattle trade has been in very
good shape and with brisk daily de-
mand' values ruled 10@15c higher on
cow stuff, while the few steers mar
keted maintained last week. high

500 LINE DIVIDEND

The coming month will see action on
the 500 dividend that is expected to
increase the rate of return to holders
of the common stock. No one knows
whether VIII her an an 1neF H viii be made or
and there is every legitimate reason
for increasing it. This stock ought to
be, good for a substantial advance if
the rate is raised. At present it pays
only per cent on the common stock.
The road closed its fiscal year in June
with a gross gain of $2,S5S,000, or 80
per cent, and a net gain of $1,576, 900,
or IS per cent, the latter suggesting
earnings on the common stock of %
per cent, as against IL per cent last
year. This ought to Justify an in
crease of the dividend on the common
stock to at least per cent.
