Heavies Not in Demand.
Quietly there Is beginning TO be cir
culated about the live stock markets OF
the country a rumor that heavy cattle
are not as desirable to packers as might
be expected. Both at Omaha and Chi
oago the "heavies" have been getting
some bad treatment lately. Buyers, Nas
IL struck by the same intuitive, Thought
they would learn OF something that makes
the heavies least desirable for killing.
Then everybody lays down on the price
and the cattle are allowed to wait until
two or three hours later, when prices
! are sweetened trifle over the morning
bnters and the heavies are bought. The
killers always conclude at the end of
one OF these sudden changes that they
can handle the cattle. The prices are
low enough, at that time.
