old trick again OF flooding tho chicago

the Chicago market broke sharply, prices
at that point being quoted lOHloc lower
on the opening. Kansas city, which also
had a liberal run, was reported as open
ing lOo lower under the influence OF the
break at Chicago The market nj this
point was very lightly supplied. and IN
consequence prices were " anything
little stronger on the strictly good grades
OF both feeders and killers. Choice year
lngs sold up AZ high AZ SOLO, the highest
price paid thus far. and as matter OF
course the highest Of any daY since sep
tsmber 1872 when &lO,l6 was paid. The
highest price ever paid on this market
WAS 2iO35, In August. 1912. The market
was active and the better kinds of cattle
were all sold before 10 o'clock In tho
While In best grades Of cattle, as noted
above, were stronger, the medium kinds
were SLOW and if anything, easier. This
was especially true of the kind OF west
ern cattle that make neither good feed
srs nor good killers, competition on
such cattle being light and the trade
duh Medium kinds OF COWS were also
a little slow, but stu fully steady, and
