itSsueo owing TO lOeral supply.
The spread in values at present is
about as wide as any this year the TOT
being So cents bove a week ago and
the average 50 cents higher. The very
good shipping demand has been big
, factor in boosting the market this
week
The government has issued new
ruling regarding bears whereby they
are practically condemned TO the
grease tanks, selling at S1.00G2 $50 Per
100 pounds.
Comparatively small receipts and
good buying on local account added
considerable tone to this weeks hog
market. Trade finished in pretty good
shape with few left in first hands.
The eleven markets received $4,000
Tuesday being 5000 less than a week
ago and that many more than year
ago. Eastern receipts were unusually
small.
Cattle.
Choice beeves held stead, others go
ing at slight declines.
About 1000 cattle came over from
the bad close Of Monday, bu, there were
not many OF them offered II the Tues
Gay session. since il was evident that
fresh supply would prove all the de-
mand could possibly care for. Tuesday S
run included 1000 rangers. and there
was relatively better demand for them
than the natives. due to the fact that
westerns are cheap property compared
with the natives. Rangers at $3.50
7.25 and higher, while showing no very
good quality, are killing out cheap in
the beef and a greater supply Of this
stuff from the northwest could only
have strong force In effecting a wider
spread in values between the medium
and choice grades of native steers.
That nothing good will come of the
market for bulk steers below choice
later this week now seems certain. The
trade is being over-supplied just at a
time when Kansas City's excessive runs
have quit coming. but killers are re-
porting slow beef call and increasing
supplies locally are affording them OPP
portunity TO lay up little surplus Of
beef
Sharp declines Is logical in the trade
in view of the supply situation and the
shippers who are eashing in lot OF
plain steers az well as mediums point
TO the scarcity Of grass and high cost
Of corn as logical reason. too, for liqui-
dating at this time. There IS strong
reluctance toward buying corn at up
ward of IS cents to feed 10 cattle which
show the least decent to good beef
condition.
For two days this week Chicago has
had $4,000 cattle. agains, 1855 a
week ago and 24,5s1 year ago. Kan
sas City reported $4,000 for the Tues
day market. a sharp falling of from a
week ago and total at six points stood
1890. decrease of 10000 from last
Tuesday For the two days this week
combined run at six markets stood 114,-
600. against $4,000 week ago and
900 a year ago.
Sheep.
Buyers Of sheep and lambs expected
slight declines.
Best range lambs were again from
Idaho and shipments Of the Miller and
Bettus lambs repeated their $3.50 per
Torrance Of Monday. Some other
prime Idahos were held at the price,
