Chicago, April 25.-Feeder and stock
cattle are arriving din slim proportion
to general receipts, usual situation
1T this time Of year when grass is Ia
good shape, and during the last week
only a rather light volume of business
was done IN thin stuff, while prices held
at levels firm to 10 cents higher for
medium to good classes in spite Of the
decline in beef steer values. Cheap.
light cattle. however, sold only about
steady with week ago, because Of the
partially shown by country visitors to
stuff which had quality and weight.
Orders for the latter kinds could not
all be filed and the local buyers stated
that they could have had many more
commissions from country buyers If the
prices were down a little rather than
up as against the previous week. That
there is a big general demand for feed
ing stuff is not denied, but the country
seems to realize that it can not be filled
just now, and for this reason the orders
are being held to volume about
balancing the supplies.

The Price of Corn.

FARMERS and Drovers' Journal
AS planting season rolls around
there is stored over that section of the
country whence comes the greatest
quantity of this cereal a larger surplus
stock than in years past, according to
the reports which arrive at market.
and this has led to the formation of
some very bearish ideas by many per-
sons directly interested in the corn
trade, and again by the consumers of
corn both livestock feeders and manu-
facturers of corn products Many per-
sons who in recent years have pointed
to corn as a crop which Will never
! again be cheap have in recent months
changed their views and now make the
prediction that by next fall there Will
be some cheap corn, and the extent
of the drop which these bearish folk
seem to think will materialize is put
as low as % per cent.
The acreage this year, it is generally
believed, will be greater than ever be-
fore In many sections big pastures
have been partly broken up to be
planted to corn and many authorities
have gone on record to the effect that
the country is likely to produce for
once in many years more corn than the
llaTkel Cali lcaAc Ssai u S1I paws eAAS
where near the levels which have pre-
vailed in recent years.
Surely reserve stocks in cribs and
elevators are Of such. volume as to
cause some worry to the men who
make corn speculation their business,
but the corn grower is sanguine of a
good market. The country is under
going a change Of sentiment which
must eventually rebound to the adj
vantage of the livestock industry. The
market for the expected greatly in
creased stocks of corn in the next year
must be broadened by increased feed
ing. AS livestock feeding is real foun-
dation Of the corn market the price can
best be regulated by the growers If
they will turn around and use a good
ly portion Of their corn by disposing
Of it upon the farm in the shape OF
matured livestock.
The market has long been short of
cattle, hogs and sheep. The first relief
must come from the greater produc-
ton of hogs, since the hogs can be ma
tured in much quicker time than can
cattle or sheep, but the next move in
providing greater market for the corn
must be increased cattle and sheep
breeding. The outlet for corn must
be broadened to meet the supply. There
is demand for the meat animals which
cannot but hold prices at level re-
munerative to both the corn growers
and feeders. =
