33s cars being reported in. This Is the
heaviest run for a Monday since three
week ago, and with that exception the
heaviest for a long time back. II would
appear from reports brought In by stock
men that the large run Is due partly TO
some FEEDERS running out Of corn and hay.
Some OF them hesitate to buy more feed
at prevailing high prices. While still others
find II difficult to secure what they want
in their immediate neighborhood Another
reason for the large shipments of cattle Is
the scare that has gone out regarding gov
eminent regulation of prices. The packers
in advocating that the government should
put a limit to the high cost Of meat prod
ucts made a very shrewd movement to
break the market As matter of fact
commission men on the Omaha market,
and on llfother big markets. understand
most thoroughly that the government has
not the slightest intention Of putting q
limit on prices. and even II the govern
ment did have such designs, with the OPP
position that would be provoked In congress
II would be impossible to get law through
