Livestock Review.
BY n. Fl. MACK.

Not much OF interest has devel-
oped in connection with the trade
In live cattle this week. and for the
most part prices remain unchanged
from those which ruled the trade
last week. TIE demand for handy
butchers cattle. continues active
with special inquiry for fat yearlings
and tidy heifers OF medium weight
that can be had for prices tribe
lower than steers OF similar weight
and quality are bringing. Prime,
heavy steers are still selling at a
sharp discount because of a slack
demand for heavy. high-priced cuts
from the block. Southern vegetables
are coming freely and the average
housewife always 'skimps" the
meat bill when vegetables are avail
able at moderate prices. Strawber
ries are beginning to cut in on the
demand for fresh meat, condition
which will increase In Importance
as the season advances.
Following the marked dullness at
the close Of last week. veal calves
have taken a brace and prices are
so cents higher for the best. There
Is good reason to believe that veal
prices will harden somewhat from
now on. owing to the falling on In
arrivals. A pressing demand for
feeding cattle OF beef breeding is
reported from all parts OF the coun-
try. condition which is aggravated
by the recent rapid improvement In
pasturage. In parts OF the west,
well-bred. feeding cattle are taking
the lead of butchers grades, year
ling and two-year-old steers selling
for $3.50 to $3.50. Frequently. Of
late. Shorthorn and Angus yearlings
only in fair feeding condition have
been sold higher In Kansas City
than ripe bullocks OF the same
breeding but weighing above 1,4o0
pounds. No feeding cattle are per-
mitted to be shipped to the interior
from the Detroit stock yards. but
the demand throughout Michigan Is
reported to be strong and very few
desirable feeders reach the yards
these days. Prime milch cows are
very scarce and are reported to be
selling high In the country; OF
course, the trafic in milch cows, In
the Detroit stock yards. cannot yet
be permitted.
The sheep and lamb trade Is
working along on an easy basis,

medium weights. and fat. milk-fed

across the whole western tip Of Gall.
cia from near the Hungarian border
to the point where the River Dunajec
Joins the Vistula, which is right at
the frontier of Poland.
Though the 5000 prisoners, whom
the Teutonic allies say they have TAX
en-. do not compare with the number
which some Of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's rushes netted him in
the north. the achievement, II sub
sequent reports bear 1t out, will mean
at least temporary check to the
Russian forces which have been ham.
mering their way westward since the
fall Of Przemysl.
England and France make no claim
to any gains in the west. the British
contenting themselves with saying
that the German attacks on Hill No.

back. The French confirm this.
The Germans maintain that they
are pushing forward to the northwest
of Ypres and toward St. Julien vii
lage. which they captured after the
attack following their first extensive
use of gas, but which they were
forced to yield under counter attacks.

ces. also. Berlin finds cause to rejoice.

lin wireless comment says it seriously
threatens the Russian right and the
fact that troops could be moved so
far northeast before they encountered
resistance is considered a reflection on
the Russian intelligence system.
