Cattle.
Cattle offerin ss We're of plain quailty.
Compared with the high spot early
last Monday rank and file of the steer
sales yesterday were easily IS cents to
81 lower and sellers in citing COMPARE
sons for some of the SS00@S.lo sales
claimed they casned like kinds in the
furry of high prices week ago as
much as s125 above current rates. The
general trade yesterday was easily oo
a So cents lower than the prices a week
ago. but this decline sellers called log
zeal in view OF the restricted demand
outlet, With the packers affording the
only channel outlet for practically the
entire crop on sale.
Canadian aG.vices are that remoVai
of quarantine by Washington has CUT
loose lot of stuff that has been held
back awaiting an opportunity to get
across the line. Several thousand heavy
Ontario cattle were moved to New
York and will I'LL up kosher trade.
The movement of Gamer stuff from
Ontario and Quebec mas been resumed
and Winnipeg reports loading for the

In the big run at st. Paul yesterday
was a delegation from the dominion.
New York received 1922 quarters
of Argentina beef last week. No
canned meats or mutton arrived and
Buenos Aires loaded no meats for New
York last week.
Arrivals of sheep and lambs proved
more numerous than expected
Ovine stock has sold remarkably
we'll the last few months and present
prices are ar a record level for this
time of the year.
Feeders have been well recompensed
for their efforts all year and the stu
alton is unusually bright. They PAID
comparatively high prices for thin
stuff. but prices for fat kinds in late
months proved their actions justifiable
and profitable.
Receipts at Chicago and at other
western markets fell off greatly il, the
past three months and the recent
quarantine against many districts has
made the deficit even greater than 1t
would have been under normal condi-
tons.
Receipts the first half of the year at
Chicago and at most other markets
were greatly larger than the CORE
spending time last year. but packers
supported the market just the same
undoubtedly in anticipation of lighter
supplies in late months.
Their actions proved correct and Of
late receipts have been remarkably
short around the circuit. Liberal buy
ing when receipts were of good volume
undoubtedly helped the industry
rather than injured it, as it gave feed
ers necessary confidence in the future
market.
Lambs over SO and sheep above Sc
at this time of the year were never
heard of before in the history of the
industry, and feeders are reaping a big
harvest despite the high cost of feed.
Colora do is feeding fewer lambs than
last year and good many natives
which are usually marketed later in
She season are already in, the high
prices attra citing them weeks ago.
