Cattle.
Cattle were steady.
The weeks developments show that
the east is we'll cleaned up and that
killers must come west for their sup
plies, which under existing conditions
means Chicago as Missouri river mar
llets are furnishing anything but good
assortment or liberal quantity. Penn
sylvania has cleaned up and Kentucky
is offering little. The bluegrass state
has had a severe drouth. suspending
the beef making process, and grass
stuff from that quarter Will be late.
In West Virginia, which usually con-
tributes q lot Of grass stuff IN August,
a similar condition has existed; conse-
quently eastern demand here is eX
pccted to continue. Beef trade in the
east is decidedly healthy. all the handi-
caps existing recently having been
eliminated from the equation.
Feeder buyers who had orders for
fieshy cattle wound up the week with a
futile search for that kind. One buyer
displayed orders for twenty loads for
which he could have paid around $500.
but killers We're able to do better and
he got none. 1t looks like a good mar
ket for fleshy little cattle right along.
but demand for plain heavy stuff is
someW hat tickle.
Six markets received 1900 cattle
yesterday. or $500 more than a week
ago, but 6,400 less than year ago.
The four days total footed $4,000. or
$1,000 m ore than same period last week
and $4,000 less than corresponding
time a year ago. Chicago's four days
supply footed $500 and showed 100
decrease compared with like period last
year, while the Kansas City decrease
was 21,O00, or nearly half of the loss
record ed by six combined western mar
kets.
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were slow. Best
sales on lambs were 81.
These current prices for fat lambs
are right at the level Of sales here at
this time last year. when the best lots
sold here at 81 and the bulk at $1,000
6.S5, but the nominal trade in feeding
lambs is close to 81 per cwt, lower than
a that time when buyers, in eagerness
for the good western feeding lambs
We're paying up to $6.00d6.25 for such.
Thus far this season the demand for
feeding lambs has been about as
meager as the supply and the statesmen
have found it necessary to sell por-
ton Of the second-class range lambs
to killers as the orders from country
have mostly had a So limit attached and
that for strictly good class Of feeders.
