Washington, May 27.-Congress hat
heard much this session OF the trou-
bles Of Louisiana. With her sugar In
dustry threatened by free sugar legis-
iation, with her prestige as financial
center touched by the refusal to grant
New Orleans q federal reserve bank,
and with the losses from Mississippi
floods still fresh in memory, the citi-
zens of Louisiana have been clamoring
for something at the hands of congress
to give them encouragement.
This has taken the form especially
Of insistence that something be done
to relieve the state of the constant
danger of annual visitai ous OF high
waters from the Mississippi.
While talking great deal about the
losses caused their state by free sugar
Louisiana members of house and senate
have constantly kept urging federal
legislation to relieve the flood stu

The flood menace presents more
embarra ssing problem to Louisiana
than before the tariff law became OPP

portions, but fresh receipts were SUI

stuff to yesterdays basis. tho 1t was
weak toned market on feeder steers
! lacking choice class and plain and low
grade stockers. Little change was
noted on the general run of stock and
feeding steers from the close or low
time last week, altho only few OF the
best light yearlings and calves are
escaping with less than a e5@4oc cut in
the last fortnight.
Some very choice selected Shorthorn
yearlings are going to the country up
to sS.35@S.45 and dealers are holding

ing made by some breezy steer calves.

selected 942-pound Shorthorn feeders
went out late Monday at $s.25. but
ing decent covering of flesh are being
left very largely to the killer outlet, and
sS6s.15 stops most any of the few
strong weight feeder steers going to
the country. A plain kind ranges down
to $3.50 and a common, crooked sort
gets poor action at S7.25, or under. De-
mand continues to center on the thin
and lighter weight cattle of good quail
ity. Yard dealers secured about a
normal supply in the Monday trade and
light volume of business was done
during the morning hours on country
account.

since the high spot reached during the
first half of last week have amounted
to fully 15@25c on the bulk and not a
little of the stock heifer stuff showed

that time. A right desira BILE to good
class of stock heifers sold at $4,000
7.25, and only choice selected kind
above the latter figure tho some heifer
calves went out as high as 50. In the
stock COW trade few of choice quality
are coming and there is still some
trade in good to choice young kinds

totaled over 100 and fair number the

market a top-heavy effect, which
caused weak undertone TO bids.
While market was slow for the gem
eral rank and file of offerings, good
demand for choice horses caused them
