cents gain over week ago and there
is pretty good indication now that
these sorts are not going to be pun
tshed much in value as long as the
country continues to market them con-
servatively and surveys Of the crop
situation in recent weeks have led
trade to the conclusion that scarcity
OF the finished beeves is the sole rea-
son for the relatively short quota Of
them which shows up in the receipts.
Packers and the shippers have shown
all kinds Of good demand for that class
this week, since Chicago is about the
only market on the map where there
is any decent crop Of them available
now On the other hand, the east con-
tinues to cut loose g lot Of medium
and chea p priced steers which effects
short shipper demand for that kind in
the local trade, while the packers are
getting big supplies OF like classes in
the west and since these come in d.
rect competition With the native west
eru rangers. the killer call Is naturally
indifferent. even tho the prices for the
grassers and warmed up natives have
, been worked down OF late to a basis
which makes them appear well worth
the money when hung on the hooks.
Reason for the price decline for ev-
erything below strictly good grade this
week. as compared with a week ago, is
easily found in the increased receipts.
For four days this week Chicago has
had 10000 cattle. against 56,321 a
week ago and $1,000 year ago. and Of
this crop there have been $1,000 west
ern rangers, comparing with 1900
week ago, and 1000 year ago Ship

200 Of the run, leaving 46 500 for To-
cal consumption. by far the largest
crop for packer dealing in months past.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady and lambs were
