Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Stock and feeding
| cattle trade was in bad state of de-
preston. The session opened with a
supply of fully $500 head In the yard
dealers hands and only very light
demand on country account was noted.
Fresh arrivals were of good proportions
! for Thursday and classes below strict
~ good were seriously neglected bids
coming irregular and lower, particu-
larly on the medium to palmer classes
Much of the supply was quoted 10@15
cents lower than yesterday ana 6daS
clines from Monday and last weeks
closing on the bulk Of the supply Of
lo@25 cents. with frequent instances
OF more loss on fresh arrivals OF
medium and common class were quot
ed A few top-notch feeders and best
yearlings Of selected class went to the
country at prices not more than 10@15
cents lower than late last week, but
there was narrow demand for all
classes in .today's trade and little had
been done: on country account up to
a late hour. the prospect being that
larger supply would go over to the
Friday market in yard dealers hands
than at any weekend this season.
Severe weather and generous re-
ceipts, together with the droopy condi-
ton OF the beef cattle market for all
but few prime steers have been fac
tors In the depression Of the trade on
stock and feeding steers. An unusu-
ally heavy supply Of 775 to 1o00-lb cat
tie is now on hand and demand today
was more narrow than for many weeks
past. Some very desirable steer year.
lings sold at $3.50, and s7.75@ 7.90 Is
quotable for choice to extra selected
kind Of yearlings and fleshy strong
weight feeders. but n very good class
of steers is now selling down to $1,000
$50 and a right desirable kind OF
stcckers was available today down to
S.G1.15, bulk of the supply selling be-
tween 81 and $3.50. Some fair quail
tied stockers got bids under the cent
line and plain class of fair weight
feeders in the fresh supply was wanted
at 1918. Stock COW and heifer trade
was also slew and showed some weak
ness from prices prevailing earlier in
the week.

Daily Grain Letter,


Chicago, Feb. 1s.-Wheat-Easier
cables and liberal fall OF snow over
the southwest during the holiday made
lower prices in wheat. Export business
was reported from both Duluth and the
gulf, which had a tendency to steady
the market. The Modern Miller came
out with a review of the growing wheat
situation reporting the condition ex-
cellent and adding to the general bear
ish feeling Of local operators. Min
neapolis was again a bidder for wheat
in Nebraska and Kansas and was offer
ing better prices than Chicago.
Corn-Corn prices averaged higher
altho the range was very narrow. A
little strength was induced by a re-
port of better cash demand in the
southwest and by reduction in Argen-
tina shipments as compared with last
week and last year. Shipping demand
showed no Improvements in this mar
ket and car lots were hard to sell at
slightly lower prices.
Oats-Oats showed small gain,
with trade mostly local and no new in
centive for marked price variations.
The reduction Of terminal stocks con-
tinues very slowly and demand is mod
crate.
Provisions-A 25-cent break in hog
prices since Wednesday caused scat
tered liquidation Of ribs and some sell
ing of pork and lard by packing inter-
ests. The break was not as severe as
might have been anticipated under the
circumstances. Packers show great de-
termination to lower values.

Several OF the Florida newspapers
are strongly urging the holding OF
county fairs in every county in the
state, and somehow from the style
of their arguments we have acquired
the impression that these newspa-
pers think that fairs in Florida
should be held in the fall and be
modelled after those in northern
states. Dade county, brethren, has
been holding fair every year since
Miami was founded, but it is a won
derful mid-winter exhibition showing
what this rare land is doing while
the rest of the world is bound by ice
and snow. 1t is a fine idea to have
county fairs, but county fairs in Flor
ida should be unique and artistic
as well as being the occasions for
farmers to get ideas for better agri-
cultural work.-Miami Metropolis.
