market smac< "a. Of ole tines in the
trade when the coul,;r; held a much
bigger crop of marketable stock than
is now believed % be in pastures and
feed yards. Quality. however, indi-
Gated that in a good many sections the
stuff shipped out was pretty much tall
enders, the best having gone ahead.
The good to choice grades, due 20
relative scarcity, We're. however, steady
in mos. cases. and frequent selling Of
the choicest grades and also a liberal
crop Of the good" kinds, were at
Thursday A comparatively short crop
of choice steers showed up and there
was rather urgent eastern and pack
ish holiday bogy Notwithstanding.
Western range supplies were $500.
and there was thus a pretty big crop
from the native territory. Frequent
showers over the cornbelt, while help
ing the corn, evidently has not
,olstered up pastures much and there
appears about as much anxiety among
feeders to get rid of stuff In pasture as
was the case few weeks back. Mon
days run plainly indicated this. and II
the trade gets another big dose later
this week sellers say very much
worse condition Of affairs in the medi-
UNI and common steer market can
hardly be averted.
Sheep.
Native lambs and rangers showed
gains early and even sheep were on a
higher plane when the market became
more settled than early. Lambs ruled
about 1O915 cents higher, best natives
selling at s710. Sheep were generally
unchanged.
