Cattle.
Cattle trade was nominally steady.
Anyone apprehensive of the range
cattle arrival. forcing natives Of good
grade to lower price rates had best get
over it. The demand for beef is too
keen to effect decline for The fat .ones.
and instead of decline it was a higher
market again Monday, new high rec
ords being made for both native stillers
and range steers. Albert w. Bragg, OF
Tuscola Ill., the first feeder to get
SOLO this year, Monday sold two LOADS
of his 1534-lb prime Angus beeves at
5000, C. & S. being the buyer. The
price stood highest ever paid on the
open market so far as the records
show. 1t was 15c above top last week.
which equaled the banner price Of 1867
but there was that much difference in
the quality of Mondays toppers as
against those Of last Wednesday, &C
cording to traders VINO saw both lots.
F. H. Plummer, of Silver City, Iowa,
sold three loads Of 1444-lb Hereford
steers at s10.35, Swift buying them,
and B F. Rust, of Bloomington, ILL.,,
sold two loads of 1524-lb Angus at the
same price. Swift also getting them.
One load of the Keefer distillery
steers sold at 5000 and another drove
Of Shoppers went at $40, records 25c and
55c higher. respectively, than the ban
ner price for Shoppers in 1857.
Probably more cattle sold at $40 and
higher Monday than any other day IN
the history Of the Chicago market in
GLIDING the Myrick and other yards
which were open during the civil wal
DAYS. Bulk of the fat weighty beeves
which lacked strictly choice finish wen,
at s925@9.75, and there were among
the s9.25m940 cattle offerings few
lots which showed just trace Of grass
tho where cattle were at all Of grassy
condition they went considerably below
SO. and SSo0mS.50 took a good many
which were handy-weight, right decent
quality kinds fed little corn. Only
plain light killer sort sold below SI.o'
and stuff around 81 had both weigh
and flesh condition which was better
suited to feeder than killer use. tho
few of the country buyers were willing
to go above $3.50 in the feeder deal. ant
it was thus up to the killer to taxi
these low dressing. grassy kinds, som'
of which very poor in class, sole
around 1925.
That $1,000 will be paid shortly TO
prime steers is a guess all the trader
are willing to venture. and In fact
some prime steers expected here II
midweek may turn the trick even high
err just what the top limit will be TO
prime steers. however. is matter upol
which the trade generally is unwilling
to venture a prediction. TT all depend
upon the supply and demand say tn
sellers. and buyers agree in this.

downward trend.
