Cattle.
Cattle We're relatively scarce.
l. is cleanup time all over the corn
belt and western range run as well are
bound to come freely for the next two
weeks. since storms will soon be due
in the northwest, and these will arrest
shipping. Iowa and central Illinois
had severe storm for two full
days. which is likely to force a big lot
of pasture cattle into the trade tor
early this week. and a heavy Wisconsin
land Minnesota movement is also proc
able.
A big quota OF the beef Of plain and
medium grade is finding outlet in freez-
ers. but with the unfavorable reports
coming from South America. where beef
supplies are reported as seriously cut as

small quota of the supplies. the enor-

range lambs has fallen off materially

stock has been more plentiful. A fair
sprinkling Of early running fed western
stock has also shown up, Chicago re-
ccipts for, the week have Increased
about 1890 head over the week pre-
vious. but this gain is accounted for
by the arrival Of some $4,000 head 81
westerns that came in late Monday by
mistake and were sent back to feed sta
lions. Eight markets have had a com
bined supply of about $4,000, de-
crease Of 1900 from the week pre-
