Representative Cattle Sales.
Chicago, May II.
Below are given few of the repre-
sentative cattle sales:
Stockers and Feeders.

Prices of good feeders have been
crawling up gradually in this depart
ment till they are up to the top and
country buyers show disposition to
balk al the high rates demanded. They
refuse to pay former quotations, say
ing that they can not see their way
clear TO give such extravagant prices
in the face of future conditions Altho
the majority of farmers and cattle
feeders are of the opinion that cattle
will be scarce and high till the rangers
come, there are not many with nerve
enough to pay 1915 for feeding cattle
and take chance making a profit, tho
it may turn out that such cattle would
be good investment Country buyers
wanted to limit the top at $3.50, and
there are not many cattle which sell at
that figure. A good share of the desir-
able feeders sell at s5@5.4o, and while
the best steers were not secured at
these prices they looked plenty high
enough to the buyers. The market is
about 1o@15 cents lower than a week
ago for both stockers and feeders on
account Of buyers determination to cut
values down rather than because of
any increase in receipts. On the other
other hand the supply has been very
small, and the volume of business cor
respondingly light. Most of the fair 10
good stockers sell at s45O@5. and a few
OF the light kinds go at s3.75@425.

Penn, October 20. 1927. His wife's
maiden name was Harriet Shattuck.

proved a farm in Geneva township. The
family moved to this place many years
ago. and have since made their home

Since the death of his son. George
Church, abou two months ago. the

children. Miss Lura. and David Church,
Jr., children OF Walter Church.
The funeral service was held at the
