Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-06-05

s..
CArrLE-As usual on the closing day of
the week there was nothing of any con-
sequence on sale and the market was
nominally unchanged. Supplies for the
or about 1000 head less than last week and
1900 head less than for the corresponding
week year ago. A feature OF the offer,
ings has been the growing scarcity of good
to choice finished beeves, while larger
proportion of the offerings consist of short
fed and warmed-up steers. As con-
in the price range between these two
grades. Good to choice beeves, both heavy
and light, show an advance OF lO9l5c for
the week, while the medium and common
kinds are selling in about the same
notches as a week ago. In fact the latter
have been slow and unsatisfactory sellers
all week owing to the competition of Texas
cattle, which are coming freely at other
points.
There has been no very great change in
the market for cows and heifers this week
and for the most part prices are steady
with week ago. Good to choice grades
sell readily right along, while the fair to
poor kinds are hard to move and the trend
of values lower HABITAT and grassy cows
will be very unsatisfactory sellers until
the season for western range cattle opens.
Veal calves have commanded good, firm
prices all week. but the outlet for bulls,
stays, etc, is narrowing down and prices
show a further decline of 15Q25c for the
week.
AS is generally the case at this season
of the year the volume Of business fol
stockers and feeders this week has been
very small. There has been a fair inquiry
right along for good to choice light stock
steers and heifers and these have com
manded good, firm figures, while the gen
eral run of stockers and feeders nave beer
hard to move at shaded prices. Although
trading has been sluggish from start tc
finish, a very fair clearance has beer
made and there is nothing of any con
sequence to carry over until next week.
