Lamb Feeders Disappointed.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Altho not as many
lambs were put on feed this season as
last year. many who bought early at
the high prices are feeling rather blue
the way things have turned out. When
feeding lambs We're selling so high
there were prospects that the whites
market would be good The shortage
in the supply of sheep on the one hand,
and the increased consumption of NUT
ton on the other were favorable indi-
cations. Again, there were not as
many feeding lambs marketed as
usual, and this made the prospects of
those who did feed all the better.
However, the unforeseen cannot al
ways be avoided. and the sheep feeder
had to come in for his share of misfor-
tune. While it is little difficult to
see the logical connection between the
two. the financial trouble seems to
have given the live stock industry a
hard jolt. The prices of all live stock
have fallen surprisingly, tho the con-
sumptive demand has not apparently
changed much. A bearish wave has
swept over the trade. and the decline
in sheep prices has taken all the profit
out of the lamb feeding business and
left many with deficit. The near
future does not seem to be favorable
for the feeders, tho many think the
market will be repetition of last year
and rule high at the end of the sea-

The CHICAGO Cow Market.

For The past two months the trend
of the COW market has been decidedly
downward. The market in the first
place was literally supplied, and in
the second place the demand was not
up to the standard. For some reason
packers have not needed as many
cows and heifers as usual and since
the financial furry struck the coun-
try, they have bought more carefully.
and have taken only what they needed
for Immediate purposes. Thin. light
COWS were never harder to sell than
they have been recently, and the
prospects are that they will be in
light demand all winter. To the
average farmer who has stock of this
kind it is a problem. To fatten up
this stock will require considerable
feed. and most feeders feel that 1t
will hardly pay unless prices are
higher later on than they are now. 1t
is not unusual for the market to be
dull and bad for butcher stock around
the holiday season. but this year 1t
seems to be worse than in most other
years. which many attribute to the
financial depression.

Weeks Receipts Smaller, and,
Demand Sufficient to Absorb
Offerings Today
Hoes ACTIVE AT A DECLINE
Todays Offerings Were Again Heavier
Than the Trade Demanded, and
Bearish Factors Have Been Many
This Week = Sheep Dull But Prices
NominaIIy Steady - Lambs Scarce.

Chicago. Dec. 2o.-Cattle were
stronger today, on light receipts ana
sufficient demand to absorb the Offer
ings. Receipts for the week have been
considerably smaller than the previous
woke, but prices for most grades close
lower than last Saturday.
Receipts this week have shown re-
markable shrinkage, tho they were
plenty large enough to tit the condi :
tons. The supply thus far is about
Il 900 short of last week Quality was
poor yesterday, and buyers who want
ed high-c class cattle found them hard
to get. Exporters We're after some good
steers with weight and took some at
s5.45. which they said were not nearly
as good as cattle that sold for that
price earlier in the week. Common
light short-fed steers We're not popular
and the only buyers for them were the
local packers, and they did not want
many. Most of these cattle are little
lower than last week. the decline Of
Monday not having been regained
Caution is advised in shipping next
/, week particularly. Poultry is going to
be in greater demand than beef. and
even tho the market will be closed
Christmas day, moderate run Is all
/. that Will likely be needed at the start
next week Failure of general i'm
provement in prices this week should
keting.
Hogs were active at decline of o
M10c. Offerings again proved heavier
than the trade demanded. Bearishness
exhibited by packers. lack of shipping
orders. the apathy of spectators, and
heavy receipts were factors that have
resulted in pronounced declines for the
week.
Sheep.
Sheep We're dull at nominally steady
prices. Good lambs were scarce and
were wanted.
There Is nothing at all promising in
the market for lambs for 1.-THE coming
week and liberal runs at that time
would be very deplorable. Until the
glutting Of the eastern markets has
been eliminated the local trade will be
pretty Welt III Vie VI lIic petSN-
ers. Let the receipts drop down to
light proportions there, however then
broader outlet thru eastern shipping
channels may be expected and pack
ers' domination of the trade greatly
removed.
Packers have been remarkably bear
isdl in their attitude every day thus
far this week and had it not been for
the executing of eastern shipping COM
missions prices would likely be con-
siderably lower than now Countrymen
should avoid playing into the hands
of the packers by refusing to feed a
sinking market literally.
