Chicago. July 24-Cessation Of heavy

has been ascribed as the reason for
the better local demand for feeders.
For a time the feeder market was in
bad shape. because of the burdensome
runs OF stuff to Kansas City caused
by the drouti1 in the southwest. AS
soon as rains came to relieve the dry
condition of pastures, the runs were
checked. At the same time there was
= call for stock cattle in the Kansas
City market to go west. A few years
ago. when the wea Their was so dry, the
Colorado feeders came to the rescue
of the stockcr and feeder market and

pasture and feed They repeated this
opera ton this year. when the cattle

next winter Chicago is getting some;
St. Louis and Kansas City are full of
them. Missouri is shipping everything,
owing to drouth. and little stuff is a
drug at St Louis, even when priced
down to $3.50. Average weights on
that market are 1eOI1s0 pounds. heavy
hogs having gone to a premium in
{ consequence. Kansas City has an ac-
emulation Of light stuff that is be-

heavy hogs are commanding sub

pigs We're worth ss.50@9.15 on the
local market. whereas $3.50 takes the
best now. and little stuff had to take
s4.25 yesterday. The significance OF
the situation is that the country is
unloading pigs by the thousand daily
reducing the winter and spring run OF
fat hogs to that extent. 1t is not a
bear argument SO far az finished hogs
are concerned. and the talent is now
confidently predicting that orn-fed
stuff has touched bottom for the sum
mer.
Total sheep run last week was above
expectations at 10000, an increase OF
15.400 compared with previous week
but decrease OF $500 compared with
corresponding week last year.
The horse market is good place
to put big fellows with lots of quality
that weigh around 1900 or more.
