stockers and Feeders.

Chicago, Oct. Ii. :
Good country demand for medium
to good feeders was fairly broad, but
there was still slow call for light cheap
stockers, and such were hard to get rid
of, even tho sellers offered some of
them at a shade decline in the efforts
to effect close clearance. Onlya few
eastern buyers were here and the quail
ity of the light stock did not suit local
order buyers very we'll. supplies of
strictly good steers We're veE scarce
and the few on sale went in good sea-
son to the nearby Illinois and Indiana
BUYERS Ohio and Pennsylvania feeders
have afforded outlet for considerable
volume of good feeders this week.
while also taking the medium to good
stockers in big volume.
The demand fer light stockers from
Atlantic states was also fairly liberal
in first days. tho of late such kinds
have met poor call General prices FRI,
day were nominally strong to 10c high
er than a week ago for all but poor
light stockers. The latter could be had
on a basis about steady with last week.
but there were few buyers who want

Native cows and heifers have also
shown 10@l5c gain as compared with
last week. On Monday the market
opened weaker under big supplies and
bulk then sold off Toe, sellers losing
there has since been better demand
from the packers Choice lots have
been in small supply and not many
COWS have sold above $4.25, while there
were few heifers above $4.S5, tho some
prime ones made $5.35.
There Is small change in bull trade,
tho bolognas sell weaker under mar
row demand from the outside buyers
Good butcher grades have sold chiefly
at $32503.60 and choice kind ut
$37594.00 and higher.
Calves have suffered mostly 50@75c
decline Of late and while few prime
vealers still landed at $S.00@S.25, 1T
has taken choice ones to bring $7.25@
$50. and a good kind sold at $3.50.
Heavy feeding steers are strong sale
and largely 10c higher than week
ago, while there is also broader de-
mand for the medium classes and such
sell firm to 10c higher. Chief demand
has come from the east. tho there has
been rather slow eastern demand for
light stockers, and such are not much
better sale than last week. A few
choice feeders have landed up to $3.50
In the week and bulk of good lots at
$3.75@4.15.
Il. IA. "(Tom') Brown has just re-
turned from Il three weeks trip spent
in northern Missouri and southern
Iowa. He found matured hogs scarcest
in ten years for this season of the
year. About the usual number of cat
tie are on feed. Pastures are short and
the corn crop above the average.
There is continuation of the OPP
timistic feeling toward the nearby fu-
ture market, and it Is the belief of
many well posted traders that the
country will not cut loose their offer
.ings In large enough numbers TO give
the packers an opportunity to domin-
ate the market for any length of time.
The local outlet for fresh pork pro-
ducts is still comparatively broad, and
there Is no abatement in the good or
ders from abroad.
Most of the plain to choice range
ewes went for slaughter at $4.50@ 5, the
best at $50, feeders of a fair to choice
grade at $3.65@4.25, while the breeders
landed at $4.75@550 according to age.
Choice wethers sold at $5.25 and fair
to good kind at $4.90@5.10. while the
plain to good feeders brought $4.65@5,
the best going at $50. Plain to good
yearlings brought s5.6O@5.S5, and the
good to choice feeders landed at $500

Of the two. The value of this fatalistic

1t teaches US that man should lord it
over the weather and not the weather

is the reward of achievement.
The tribute paid to inventors was
