PREPARED TO SHOW EN-
A FEW NEAT TRICKS.

A proposition that should receive
most careful attention from the breed
ers and feeders of the various states
in the interest of their state is to be
started at the 1906 International and

highly appreciated, and no doubt de-

South Omaha, Neb., Nov. 27.-The
condition of the cattle and sheep mar.

Robinson & Co., who mailed a copy of
the following letter to their clients yes.
terday:
Local Demands Good.
The cattle trade last week continued
in very good shape throughout, al
though supplies were heavy from start
to finish. Encouraging advices from
other points aided in a large measure
to hold prices firm, and the local de-
mand has been of sufficient proportions
to take all the steer offerings at prices
steady to strong as compared with the
week previous. Nothing very choice
was received, the better kinds selling
around s4.S5@5.OO.
Chicago Well Supplied.
Today Chicago has a heavy supply,
81, 900 head and a 1905 cent decline.
This fact had a rather depressing eff
feet on our trade and the heaviest
drop for a long time in the steer trade
at this point occurred today, wneu
prices declined about a dime. This is
also true of butcher stock OF all
classes, although prices continued
steady throughout last week. Right
around Thanksgiving day the trade no
doubt will be a little draggy, but next
week we rather expect to see the good
strong inquiry continued.
Bearish Yard traders.
Stockers and feeders were rather
draggy toward the close last week,
The inquiry had not been as urgent as
expected and yard traders were some
what bearish as their yards were
pretty well filed. Best kinds today
are steady, but all others a little
easier.
The sheep Market.
The sheep trade was generally
range supplies being made up princi-
paIly of feeder grades. Small ship
ments of native fed stock are being
received, but SO far the volume of this
business has been rather limited. Good
killing range lambs are selling at
$7.O0@7.25; good yearlings at
$5.75@6.0O; good wethers, $5.25@5.50;
good ewes, $4,S5@5.1o; good feeding
lambs, $5.50@6.25; good y%earlings,
$5.00@5.4O; good wethers, S4.75@5.15;'
good ewes, SS.5O@4.35.
