Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Stock and feeding
! cattle trade is showing a sharp rever-
: sal in form as compared with the high
flying stunts performed in this branch
! of the trade the first half Of last week
when 10 &c Is cent advances over last
/ weeks closing were general and when
/ some selling was accomplished at
greater price gains II seems a case or
buyers suddenly awakened to the fact
/ that the market had scared on good
qualified thin cattle up very close to
record open market levels at a time
when the cost Of making beef is very
| high and when industrial conditions.
tho Frightening materially are not the
best. A sudden slump in country de-
mand followed and the last half Of the
week has seen the price trend down
ward. 1t was hard to sci! anything in
the line of fresh arrivals to stocker or
/ feeder buyers here Thursday and when
sold they took irregular 10115 cent
decline from Wednesday. Few county
buyers were on handy toward week
end and yard dealers are forced to
cErYy over into next weeks market a
g Cd many cattle. particularly Of poor
to right good stockers weighing from
SEQ pounds down. Some OF the best
classes. however, are still making 10 to
L. cent higher prices than a week ago
to country buyers, while last weeks
closing levels are now in effect for the
bulk OF the offerings.
Extra choice selected Hereford year
ling and 2-year-old feeders sold at
weeks high hime up to ss.25. as did
best feeder calves. and quite a few

Such prices at this period OF a year
when feed cost Is excessive, strongly
evidences feeders faith in the future

son approaches.
Sales at the Denver stock show last
week were at new record levels for
qualified classes. as noted in these
columns. There is a limit, however,
which conservative feeders fear to pass
and the reaction toward lower levels
here the last few days IL but logical
after the sharp advance the January
market has shown. Stock and feeding
she stuff at no time in the week shared
materially in the advance noted on
stock and feeding steers.
