Dressed Trade Conditions.


Eastern dressed trade is uneven for
beef, pork, mutton and lamb, and az
every market the wholesalers are find
ing the best call for choice grades.
According to the bureau of markets.
dressed stock is selling within wide
range. and plain grades are being ne
elected entirely by some customers.
REGENTS are NOT very heavy. but the
demand lacks activity for most cuts. In
Philadelphia there is little trading in
beef because of beef luggers' and
drivers strike. which compels retailers
to call for and take away with them
what they need
Naturally the condition of the dressed
trade has influence upon the live stock
and at present it is anything but ia
vorable.
The scarcity of prime animals, how
ever, makes it look as tho they will
hold up better then the other grades
which are rapidly increasing in pro-
portion because owners are fighting
against high feed bills.
The buyers are becoming more ex-
acting every day and country shippers
must bear this fact in mind.
With dressed stock and live\animals
selling unevenly and within wide
range 1t is necessary. when operating
in the country, to insist upon big mar
gins where anything but best grades
are being purchased
Usually at this time of the year the
consumer backs away from meat 20
some extent. and as the weather warns
IN the demand NAV get even shorter
than at present.
Much valuable Information can be
found in the daily reports of meat
trade conditions given out by the bu-
reau of markets. which TO some ex-
tent, may be used as guide in coun-
try observation-disclosures Journal.

cash corn WAS again the feature. new
high prices being reached in the local
spot market. There was considerable
new buying Of old crop months, both
by shorts and those who have been
bullish on the big discounts for cash.
Eastern interests were credited with
the largest volume Of buying in De-
cember. forcing this delivery almost to
the old high point. Crop reports gem
orally indicate good stand, with fields
unusually clean, but plant week to ten
days late. Competition for cash corn
Is the principal bull item.
Oats-Oats were again supported by
houses credited with acting for the
seaboard. Those interests bought July
and the strength in the current de-
livery tended to advance the later
months. Some new oats are being Of
fered and a small volume Of hedging
sales is appearing in the September.
Crop reports for the most part are very
favorable, except where damage has
occurred in the southwest from heat
and drouth.
