Chicago, July n.-Downward move
ment of prices in the market for stock
and feeding steers was checked vester-
day and a more optimistic feeling per-
vaded the trade, but quotations were
not advanced, owing to the fact that
there was a generous supply of stock
here which had not been started from
the country before the, week end rains
came and gave promise Of a more
abundant supply Of moisture and pas
turage. Local dealers were the prin-
cipal buyers, but 1t was believed that
more general representation of coup-
try buyers would be at hand to take
on stock and feeding steers at the low
prices now prevailing. and with pack
ers favoring the heavier weights Of
feeders that carried little flesh. little
difficulty was experienced in clearing
the supply on a fully steady basis.
Weather map showed copious rains

Nebraska and other corn-belt states

and it was reasonable TO expect that
that general precipitation would be fol-
lowed by a falling OF In the movement

broader demand for thin offerings at
market points to 60 into the interior.
Local dealers added to their holdings
IN anticipation Of such an outcome. and
the general trade had a fairly active
tone at the prices. AS on late days this
week, comparatively little business was
transacted at higher than $475, as n
good class of $50 to 900 pound feed
ers were obtainable at $450G4.7o.
Some selected lots were sorted out at
so.Oo@5.25, but packers generally
snapped up all Of the fleshier kinds Of
feeding steers and paid more for them
than country buyers were willing to
bid.
Light stock steers at $3.5O1400 were
numerous, and a good grade Of shaped
up $50 to ESQ pound stockers made
81 .15 GD440, with common and inferior
light lots selling down to 1925 and low
er. Stock heifers had to be good to
bring S3.0003.25, but desirable class
of feeding heifers was held at $3.4o@
$50 and met with good call at the
prices. Feeding COWS held at $29O@
3.25 and received a fair demand, altho
limited offerings suffced to ill all re-
Quirements.

since grass should be some improved as
