Stock Yards, Chicago, Jan. 24-In-
creased marketing in the past week.
due to shortage of corn and rough feed,
much of which still remains snow
covered in the fields, effected lower
trend of prices for all but prime steers
Declines of 15@25c were in force at the
close compared with a week ago for
cattle of value below 81, although a
scarcity of choice grades held these at
unchanged levels. The strong wave of
protest over the country against high
retail prices for beef also had a de-
pressing effect on the market. Killers
bought more freely of mediums and
cheap steers than the good quality
grades in their effort TO cater to pop
ular demands. However, shipping and
export call for fat. weighty classes
was sufficient to effect ready outlet
for them. Prime beeves sold up to sS.40
\ but there were only few lots at $40
si7.75, while bulk of rood dressed beef
and shipping grades went at $6@6.85
with good export steers at $6.2506 so.
