The run today is 10000 head here,

sentative commission men. 1t was
Formerly customary to figure eight
Gents pound as the cost of feed
Dot gains, but that was before i'm
proved feeding systems were discOv-
cred, which may have reduced the
cost this year. Even on that basis,
though, feeders at $3.50 to $S.25,
which is now being paid, are safe
investment, with fat cattle where
they are. Besides many of the men
now paying these big prices have al
ready cleaned up a profit of five or
ten dollars a head on one feed lot
deal this winter. Prime steers reach
ed $500 last week and some heavy
steers sold at $3.50 today, notwith-
standing heavy steers have less &C.
ton than lights. A buyer received
an order for heavy COWS from an
eastern killer today, with instruc-
hO1s to pay around 1925; he had to
decline the order, as it could not be
hlled at less than $6.75 to $500. Bull
sell up to $500, heifers $500 for
best. Veal calves are slumping a lit
tie as dairy calves have started to
run, but tops still bring $1,000. Quar-
antine cattle are 10 to Is higher to-

Killed Competition.

Killed Competition.
Competitive methods employed by
the harvester company, Mr.. Conant
declares, have been the subject Of
much complaint. Regarding the
charge that the company has made
an effort to secure an undue proper
ton of local dealers in farm machin-
cry by alloting, as a rule, only a sin
gle brand to any one dealer in the
same place, thus tending to restrict
the outlet for competitors goods,
Commissioner Conant says:
The company's own records show
that this was one purpose at least in
making this distribution of its brands
and 1t appears to have had some
practical effect in handicapping CON-
petition.
Special discriminatory prices and
terms" Mr.. Conant continues, have
been reported in a number Of in.
stances, but the general policy of the
company is to maintain high prices
in the monopolized lines; in the prin-
cipal new lines, however, where con.
siderable competition is encountered,
unusually low prices and long terms
have been generally employed.
Another rather general complaint
is that statesmen Of the Information
Harvester Company represent that
purchasers of competing lines of har-
vesting machines will be able to Sc
cure repair parts, matter Of much
practical importance. Officers of the
International Harvester Company ad-
NIT that this was at one time a com
mon characteristic of competition in
the harvesting machine industry, but
that the company is opposed to the
practice and has used active efforts
to eliminate it. The bureau, how
ever, received rather numerous CON-
plants Of this character.
