StockYard Notes.

Fat cows and heifers mostly lbc
higher than a week ago.
Good feeding steers 15c up from
week ago Medium to good stockers
also higher, but poor light kinds are
only steady.
Choice to prime steers are qYotable
10@15s higher than last Week. put
there is no material change in values
for other grades.
Until two weeks ago medium ana
plain light grassy native steers were
commanding higher prices than III
months, and even now, altho a stump
has lately occurred, they still bring big
prices compared with normal for this
season of the year.
Ranchmenl are starting later than US
ual this year. and evidently are more
conservative than usual. Abundance OF
grass is reported all over the state. ana
cattle have taken on fat rapidly, tho
they aM naturally soft yet and there
is disposition to wait till they are IN
better shipping condition. The chances
are that the demand for the common
light steers will be still more modified
when the western grassers get to pour
ing in and competition is keener.
Feeding lambs averaging 81 lbs this
week sold at $40, new record.
Chances for securing feeding sheep
and lambs as well as breeding sheep
at the prices in force last season seem
simmer than ever now. AT least this
is the opinion held by traders VINO
make it their business to keep IN close
touch with the situation.
1t was the good export demand for
fat COWS that saved the day in this de-
partment this week Exporters are
losing money on fat steers and are
eager to fill up with cows and buiis
to offset the loss. Most Of the good
heavy cows and heifers are 15m25c
higher than week ago. Strictly choice
stuff has been relatively scarce all
week. Fat heifers reached $500 and
many good cows sold at s4.4Om5. with
a few at S5.25 Grassy stuff was taken
at steady rates. because of the outside
demand. for local buyers were ndifier-
ent about all classes of COWS. Most
of the grass cows sold this week at
$3M375.
Packers did not want Gamers and
cutters this week at all. Receipts were
small ana on llldl dCSoulfl II was pos
sible. 10 get rid of most of the thin
stuff to outside dealers on steady
basis. Packers seem to be afraid of
everything THAT emanates from the
dairy. Most of the Gamers sold at
S1.75m230. while cutters sold mainly
at s2.50@3
Bologna bulls sold very well all week
and are little higher than week ago.
Buyers took them largely at 40

the only reason that they sold better

600 Bushels This Year.
Des Moines, Aug. 3--As reports from
various sections of the state reach crop
Headquarters here, local observers are
making estimates as to what loWas
total outputs will be this year. 1t mas
LONG been apparent that the situation
is not promising because of the wet
spring and unfavorable conditions gen
orally.
The corn crop can only be judged
from the acreage, but experts say the
total will Be about 3OO.0O0,O00 bushels,
which is 9O,000o0O bushels less than
last year
oats are now being harvested and
some rust has been found The dam
age from green bugs was small. Inc
total output it is predicted, will be
about so per cent of an average yield
and perhaps 70 per cent of a bumper
yield.
HAY harvesting is about completed.
The crop will make about so per cent.
Wheat and barley are better than oats.
and will give probably 80 per cent of
a crop.
Implement men in Des Moines make
the surprising statement that with all
the unfavorable crop conditions the de-
mand for implements has broken every
record this year 1t has been impossi-
BILE at times to meet the demand.

however. sold in carly season con-
dtions have been More satisfactory
this week and higher prices paid. Since
Monday bulk of good feeders have
cost l5c more and medium classes
went largely l0c higher, while medium
to good stockers also sold at lon l2c
advance. A pretty good eastern call
for stocEers has developed of late and
affords satisfactory outlet for all but
the trashy light low priced xmas.
These have gone slowly all week, Wh'le
anything which had quality enough 10
command $3.0om3.25 and higher met
rather good outlet.
Best sellers in the whole list We're
strong weight well bred feeders. but
these have been in slim supply Ihefe
were fed of them good enough TO go
above $40. but strictly choice xmas
landed at $3.50. Most of the medium
TO good feeders sold at S43o@4oo'
while those at $400m4.20 were pam
light grades. A good class of stockefs
cost s3.75m400 but desirable grace
of light weights went at S3aVW 3.o''
while plain and common kinds sold AT
s2.75m30O. with some inferior niue
"knothead" steers down to S2.25.
Mixers and Springers.
Not much change was noted IN .he
market for mixers and springers TINS
week The demand was fairly sooo
for a few of the best qualities. pul
the bulk of the offerings were com
man and medium and did not sell very
we'll. For the past two months colil-
mon mixers have been very hard seil-
ers the valuation being based largely
on their worth for slaughter me
price of feed, being high. buyers wanted
something that would yield good
profit. Choice cows sold this week up
to $50 but there We're not many above
$40 and the bulk of the business was
done at $30m40 for medium to GOOD
tho there were many common COWS at
$20@25.
