Cattle.
Liquidation in cattle markets brought
! a food Of stock, the count showing
nearly $4,000 for the first half Of the
week. Prices were easy for the bulk
of stuff.
Price prospect is dubious, particu-
larry as affecting common. medium
and pretty good steers. Choice to
prime ones are naturally selling
/ themselves. and the owners Of chat
I kind need no sympathy They have
the goods which killers want badly
enough to pay fancy prices. Even
should that kind 90 lower sympathet-
ically for a time they will still be
bringing big money. since 30 many
Of the choice one get bids far and
away above So. with the sellers who
have strictly prime beeres sitting
steady in the boat" and demanding -
and not letting them 60 over the
scales short Of $3.50. This price has
been paid twice within the last week
and there is still expectancy that -
will be reached soon. and perhaps this
week. despite the probability Of slump
ing prices FOR kinds not in the choice
to prime class.
Market for stuff Of value below
$3.50 right now is largely 101 15c low
er than last weeks closing Taking
into account Tuesdays lower bids. IN
fact, these grades are quotsble Is q csc
lower. and in event OF the big run
prospect filing on Wednesday, drop
Of 4o65oc from a week ago win not
he more Of a possibility than q GER
taintr.
Chicago has had $4,000 cattle in two
days this week. against 1888 a week
ago and SO sos a year ago. and Kansas
City $4,000, quality at the latter mart
being considerably below that at CHI
cago. Other western points have also
had generous runs of grass and
warmed-up stun and the total at six
points for two days this week stands
$4,000. against $4,000 a week ago and
10000 a year ago, all Of which serves
as a hrst-class bear argument for
packers to swing into force.
A conservative estimate on the num-
her Of cattle to come the balance Of
this season is put at $4,000 to 10000
While a good share Of these will come
out in the next two weeks the season
will by no means end then.
Another month will about wind u
up. but the tail end Of the seasons
range cattle shipments necessarily
Will be small in volume.
It is another cleanup" year in the
range cattle growing industry.
A lot Of outfits will cash In their
last holdings. as has been the case
among others in recent years. when
, most OF the one time great ranching
outfits have nquidated, owing to the
encroachment OF the settlers with the
pillow onto the open range.
Shows are already being had in the
northwest and should the weather
grow cold 1t will check a lot Of ship
ping, but a fairly open early winter
season northwest will bring forth .
. liberal range beef crop. ~
The prices are an inducement for
owners to keep on shipping as long ~
the beef supply holds out, and q word
to the wise among tho native cattle
feders ought to be sufficient.
When the rangers are all in will be
best time to cut loose liberal crop of
short-fed and warmed-up natives.
Sending that kind to market in the
next two weeks will assure q deal Of
range competition. and prices can not
show strength.
! Sheep.
/ Heavy receipts of lambs were un-
checked and fat stock barely held their
own. Some choice lots sold down 20
s5.75. Sheep were steady.
