The cattle trade OF the country IL
just now suffering from determine
ton on the part of the retailer TO get
away from cost and weight Every
day, as time goes on. 1t becomes more
and more apparent that the mer-
chandising season for high-grade beef
has passed for this year. Few prime
steers are coming, but, at that, the
number exceeds the demands OF the
trade. and statesmen arc having the
fight Of their lives TO satisfy shippers
who are sending them this grade OF
cattle. Nor Il the effort to lower
stock-yards cost confined to the
prime steer division OF the trade;
buyers OF all grades OF butchers cat
tie, including fat bulls and cows, are
jockeying prices In the effort to make
q strong reduction in current average
cost. In the Chicago stock yards, buy
ers are working with an eight-cent
steer limit, Notwithstanding the fact
that they are buying cattle not In
trinsically worth within 81 per cwt
as much as the steers mentioned, and
paying only 20 cents per cwt. less.
The demand for Gamers Is ex-

OTTAWA. Ont, Jan. 31.-An al

brought to light today by Hon. H. X.

Pujo Committee exist In Canada,
Emerson holly attacked the measure.

Not long since, mention was made
In The Times, Of the sharp price
fluctuations which rule In the sheep
markets OF the country. The condi-
tons referred to are not improving,
but, on the contrary, the up-and-down
dips IN the market are making It very
difficult for drovers to keep on the
right side OF the game For some
time 1t has been apparent TO every
one connected with the live stock
trade, that lambs we're sure to be
scarce this spring, but nearly every
one seems to have overlooked the
probable scarcity OF mature sheep. 1t

wethers on feed the country over

demand: medium weights sell well,
but heavy hogs are drug on the
market, owing to the aversion which
the packers seem to have toward the
undertaking which develops when an
attempt is made to produce $40 lard
from hogs costing $3.50 per cwt. That
the packing-house cellars are prao-
tically empty il wellknown, but buy

luctance OF the packer to pile up lard
In the face of q falling market for
this commodity. Reports from the
far west indicate that the output Of
finished hogs, from the region west OF
the Mississippi river, will be greatly
reduced, because OF the ravages OF dis
ease in this district. Losses from
cholera, in the regions round about
Omaha and Souix City, which sent
forward an immense number Of hogs
last year, have been very serious and
