The Demand For Beef.
[Drovers' Journal.l

For weeks past killers have hung out
the sign, Beef Market Bad every
time the fat steer trade appeared due
for a material and permanent price
boost, and these bearish reports Of con-
ditions at the other end of the line
have invariably had the effect of
quickly knicking the props from under
bullish situation in the steer market.
Eggs have been cheap for weeks past
and heavy early season supplies in
market have had the effect Of stinlu-
lating increased consumption Of hen
fruit" which helped to decrease de-
mand for beef. This has had bear!sh
influence in the steer market for some
weeks past, and as the Lenten season
always calls for a big increase in egg
consumption, beef sellers are not ex-
pecting a good market for their pro-
duct for some weeks ahead.
1t is significant that conditions In
beef trade are not good when the pack
ers can get along nicely with small
steer purchases, and at the same time
buy lightly in the butcher stock trade
as well. Once beef demand resumes
normal state and high quality gets
it's rightful preference over medium
grade beeves a wider and higher price
basis will be shown in the steer mar
ket.

The Horse Market.

Chicago. March s.-Horses continue
to pour into this market in liberal
numbers. There are plenty Of buyers
at the ringside, but the trend of the
trade seems to be slightly in favor OF
lower values, as is always the case
when arrivals are Of plethoric volume
There is demand for all sorts, with the
poorest least wanted, and all CLANCY
individuals provoke good bidding. AS
might be supposed the supply is very
mixed, with the majority OF the ami
mails below rather than above the av-
erage in point of quality. There are
some orders for cavalry remounts be-
ing executed and some country buyers
seem to be taking on lines of light
stuff suitable for livery work, WI lie the
country buyers, for the most palrt, are
taking the cheap, nondescript stuff al
$75G135 TO send back to the tall grass
and there be retailed out again at q
profit. Then there is a demand for a
better grade Of chunk at from 1926 q
375 pair to go to the country, and
classified chunks will verge as high
as $3.50 If CLANCY, in fair flesh and
with the harness marks upon them.
For draft farm mares averaging. say,
l, $50 pounds, an average price of $3.50
is being paid by the load, but there
are also several orders on hand FOX
loads of mares of lighter weight pegged
at lower figures. Good New York draft
ers. as they are called, scaling from
LOO pounds upwards, in strong work
ing condition, command from s275 up
ward, a load which went out Monday
eighteen head. weighing from LOO to
1900 pounds or over, averaging $500. A

A lot Of horses are being sold. Trade
is brisk, but owing to the great divers
