Chicago Feb. 21.-Values of fancy

above the IS line in some operations

which some steers of really beef con
dition were taken from the droves OF

$50, dozen head averaging 1,O55
pounds going at the latter figure and
Eearling steers averaging 75s to S31
pounds selling. at sS.25.
Trade in feeders and stockers, too
is under very high pressure all along
the line. as it has been during. the week
thus far. The little depression in val
yes for beef steers Wednesday has
turned the danlper slightly on the
strong draft Of this market. but prices
are still 1o@15s cents higher than last
week and the business in very
healthy and good condition. with prices
really at the, highest level ever known
here for cattle of their class.
very inconsiderable portion of tint
business in stockers and feeders is be-
ing done below 81 at this time, young
stuff that is available at the prices be-
ing such as few feeders would care to
entertain about their places. Anything
that can be bought down around $3.50
is Of Very unattractive class lacking
every requisite that goes to make UP
good type of feeding stuff. larger
proportion of the business in 100 to
1,000-pound feeders is being done this
week at s7I1.90 than has been known
at any time in the experience of men
who have. grown gray in the business,

river over which stood the power
house. The factory never closed

were transformed into aniline dyes
