The shrinkage Of cattle was found
to vary In direct proportion to their
live weight when conditions were the
same and al lother factors were equal.
The shrinxage of range cattle in
transit over 20 hours during normal
year Is from 5 to s per cent Of their
live weight II they are in transit S6
hours or less the shrinkage will range
from to per cent Of their live
weight.
The shrinkage Of feed cattle does not
differ greatly from that of range cat
tie for equal periods Of time. 1t varied
from about per cent with all of the
sflage-fed cattle and AZ per cent with
the corn-fed cattle, when both classes
Of these animals were in transit for
less than Sc hours. to "a per cent for
the pulp-fed cattle which were in
transit from 50 to 20 hours.
Cattle fed on silage have a large
gross shrinkage but usually fill so well
at market that the net shrinkage is
small.
Puip-fed cattle shrink more In trans
Il than any other class OF cattle, and
also present a greater net shrinkage.
The shrinkage on cattle is proper
tionately smaller for each IL hours they
are in transit after the first 24-hour
period Is passed. This is shown very
clearly in Table 20. which presents a
general summary Of the work.
For long journey the common
method of unloading for feed, water.
and rest is to be preferred to the use
Of feed and water" cars.
Cattle should be weighed before be-
ing loaded wherever practicable, since
comparison OF this weight with the
sale weight will show the net shrink
age. Moreover their weight at point

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Wheat-Conmis
sion houses had resting orders at
80 for May and this checked a decline
early in the day which gave the ap-
pearance OF a bad break. At the close
prices were little changed from yes
terday, but a half cent to IL cent low
er than a week ago today. Movement
statistics at primary points are bullish
as compared with last week and a year
ago. but buying does not appear Of suf-
ficient volume to counteract the liqui-
dalton of tired holders. Speculative
conditions in wheat are similar to those
shown on the New York exchange to-
day, where values lowered quickly on
liquidation. Reports from the Argen-
tina contradict previous news from
there for in that port arrivals are said
to be increasing and the wheat IS show
ing good quality. A part Of the cas-
mess in wheat during the week has
been attributed to the decline.
Corn-At the opening this morning
there appeared to be as much May corn
for sale at 6S1a cents as there was
wanted at that figure at yesterdays
close. Except for moderate rally in
an OFefSOiC PIT COIOIlIOl, corn was
weak thruout the day. Besides pres
sure from bears, considerable liQuida-
iton of holdings was noticeable Con-
ditions in the cash market was the
worst so far experienced during the
present run and next week all grades
of corn will sell at hedging differences
below May corn. The leveling influence
Of the new tariff bill Is already being
felt and. with crop conditions as favor
able as now reported in Argentina it IS
going to be difficult to advance prices
under present unsatisfactory cash con-
ditions.
Oats-Conmission house demand for
oats was filed up and. in sympathy
with weakness with corn, prices were
a to y cent lower at the close. Dur
ing the week the market has shown lit
tie rallying power and no independent
strength. Corn continues TO rule oats
to a very large extent.
Provisions-Liquida ton in provisions
followed the break in grains and. at
the close, prices were easy and slightly
lower than those Of yesterday. There
appears TO be every prospect Of 2 con-
tinued heavy run of hogs.
