Chicago SEPT Market for stock
ers and feeders finished the week on q
basis little changed from that in force
a. the close last week. Mondays mar
ket was strong and largely 10d15 cents
higher, bur Tuesdays trade showed
signs Of easing off a little. and by
Wednesday all of the gains made
earlier in the week had to be elinni-
mated before a clearance of the offer
fngs could be effected. On that session
a pretty good cleanup of the pens was
effected. and the Thursday and Friday
trade was narrow and uninteresting at
nominally steady prices. Local dealers
were chiefly responsible for the boom
in the trade on the first day of the
week. and the failure Of country de-
nand to develop expected proportions
was what caused the reaction later in
the week.
Aside from the disappointing country
demand the market FOR native stockerS
and feeders had competition from
western range feeders to contend with
and it proved unable to cope with this
competition and retain a steady basis
A top Of 1913 was reached by a drove
Of prime native feeders early in the
week but not many loads reached
$3.50. and a spread of from $500 to
1925 caught the bulk of the good $50
to 1000 pound feeders on the market
Range feeders cleared at s4.75m4.s5 for
the bulk. with some selected lots at
S5.O0m515. Selected natives lockers of
good breeding made s4751 500, with
medium to good kinds around s425@
465 Plain lights lockers sold down
from $500. with trashy lots at $3.50 and
lower Stock heifers made 1926 q SIS.
with feeders at s3.906400.
