CATTLE-Receipts Of cattle today were
Insignificant, as usual on. a saturday, ana
there was practically no market. For the
week receipts have been very liberal al
though not quite up to the record MADE
last week. last weeks receipts haVins Deen
the heaviest of the year to date. AS was
the case last week receipts have consisted
largely OF range stock, but still there mas
been very liberal sprinkling of cornfeds
Good range steers have commanded tully
steady prices throughout the week, but the
in between kinds, or to put 1t In another
way, the common to- medium KINDS, nave
sold uneven, although no great amount OF
change Is noticeable at the close OF the
week as compared with one week ago. On
the other hand, the week has been very
disastrous for the sellers of cornfed cattle
The packers as usual claim that there
ought to be a spread of more than II per
hundred between range or grass peer ana
cornfeds. AS the range in prices at the
beginning of the week was considerably
greater than this buyers have hammered
prices on cornfeds severely at all market
points. Chicago reports a break OF oog ISc
In prices. while the market here is safely
SOC lower than one week ago on corntcd
steers. 1t takes right good cattle at the
present time to bring $3.50, and is a
question IL there are any cattle In TINS sec
ton Of the country at the present time
good enough to bring very much above
that price.
Very few cornfed COWS and heifers are
coming to market at the present time, the
supply consisting largely of grassers. The
week started out dull and uneVenly lower
DuL later on III Ln6 week SUOWcu' bOlhC
provement, so that at the close quotations
are about the same as at the close OF last
week. II should be understood that com
mon grades and Gamers are selling about
as low as any time This season.
Stockers and feeders have sold very well
all the week owing to the fact that good
outlook for the corn crop has stimulated
| feeder buying, and as result prices have
been strong throughout the week, and may
be quoted around 15q20c higher than last
week.
