staokers and Feeders.

The season of the year has arrived
when larger contribution may be ex-
pected, and receipts have in past few
days been fairly large. Indications are
that the supply will be fairly liberal
from now on, but the disappointing
feature of the market is the lack of
country demand. Prospective buyers
are very conservative and most of them
seem inclined to await developments.
Altho indications point to the greatest
corn crop ever raised, the majority of
cattle feeders do not look for the cereal
to be especially cheap. and consequent
ly they are not disposed to take hold
till they have more assurance. De-
mand for both stockers and feeders is
unusually light. and the market dull
from start to finis<. Prices have been
on the down slant and many of the
light stockers look little lower Prices
are so cents lower than they were three
weeks ago and vet that fact does not
seem to stimulate the demand any. All
lockers say that prices are too high to
suit them and they will not buy till
there is a further reduction. 1t took
excellent feeders to sell at IS last week
and good many that were very at
tractive sold at s4.75d5, with the light
er class at s4.50@4.75. Good stockers
went at s4d440, and large number
of common light and medium stockers
sold at s3.40@3.S5.

Will Freeze Much Beef.


Provided cattle growers furnish them
with the necessary material, packers
will fill their cold storage capacity to
the limit with beef during the next four
months. The great movement of grass
ers from west of the Missouri river
will reach Chicago and other western
markets during that period and packers
will embrace the opportunity to pro-
vide against possible, if not probable,
scarcity of cheap beef during the win
ter months by storing every possible
hundred weight while grassers are
available Not only will their own
storage be filled, but chill space will be
rented here and at eastern points.
Without this means of taking care of
the excess grass, beef would be drug
on the market during August, Septem-
ber, October and November. Beef
frozen last summer has been sold dur
ing the past six months at handsome
profits and killers are anxious to salt
down more of the same kind of money.
As a 25 per cent shortage in the crop
of grassers from the northwest has
been forecasted, it is probable that less
beef will be frozen than in 1908.

liminary development of their
claims, unless there is a sufficient
stand of timber for that purpose
upon the claim. The locations made
by Mr.. Yard and the mining COM
pany have retarded the timber de-
velopment of a rich section of the
country lying along the newly con-
structed Western Pacific railway.
"Since the claims are located in
more or less mineralized country,
in which successful mining has been
done in the past, the locations for
1850 acres have necessarily en-
braced some mineral lands, and as
the claimants have carried on no
mining operations these mineral de-
fvelopments of that section has been
interfered with and retarded by the
fraudulent claims. No efforts have
been made by the claimants to dis
cover or develop mineral upon any
of the lands.

In reporting the matter the in
