LIVE STOCK MARKET
National Stock Yards, July .
Receipts and Comparisons.


CATTLE.-The material strength
developed in the cattle situation late
last week was an incentive toward
liberal liquidation the present period
and as a result of the big increase in
supplies, the market has dropped sew
eral notches below the corresponding
level a week ago today. The sole eX-
ception to the break was for the
strictly good, prime northern beeves,
which by the way, are relatively
scarce and they have held compare
lively strong basis throughout the III
terval. However, when it came to
cattle of the value on present market
selling under $3.50 per 100, gener-
al drop of 40c to SOC was recorded and
where steers were strictly of a stock
er and feeder character, not only did
this decline cover, but in many in
stances deals were considerably worse
than indicated, in fact, some of the
plain, off-colored classes of steers,
the good weights, which last week
had packer competition, were in iso-
lated cases as much as 75c lower.
Butcher cattle came in for their share
100 decline was noted. Gamers and
mixed stuff shared as much break.
We can only reiterate our former eX-
pressions regarding the shipping of
short-fed and unfinished cattle and
any stockman contemplating the ship
ment of cattle in the near future, will
find it to his advantage to accert
present market conditions rather than
hold off for any set time, because it is
apparent that grass cattle will in
crease right along and the condition
of the market on unfinished classes of
cattle will become more exaggerated
in regard to the declining tendencies
than at present indicated.
HOGS.-The recovery in selling
rates in this department late last week
was quite rapid and at the finish of
the week the crest had been pushed to
SIT for best light hogs. Naturally
stimulus toward increased shipping
was result and heavier supplies have
followed. The outcome of this cir
cumstance has been the dropping IN
price values until the present market
is almost, but not quite, back to where
it was week ago today. This drift
toward lower selling rates, while not
erratic, has been marked by its char
acteristic of weakness and today's ex-
IRENE top of S16.65 compares with
$16.50 week ago. The available
crop in the country is without ques-
ton of doubt more ample than any
one anticipated for as recent weeks
have shown, upon any recovery of q
substantial nature in the mar ket val.
ues, liberal, in fact extremely heavy
receipts have followed, indicating
clearly that not only is the supply am.
pie in the producing sections, but that
feeders are DESTROYS of cashing theil
holdings on any favorable upturn IL
market conditions.
SHEEP-The market settled consid
erably late last week and with a de-
cline in supplies, improvement ha!
been noted though the general market
is still about 25c under the prices tina;
prevailed week ago.

USE OF LAND FOR WHEAT
CUTS WATERMELON CROP

Reports from Mississippi, Scott and
neighboring Southeast Missouri coun-
ties, which have long been famous for
watermelon crops, indicate that this
years production is to be but about
35 per cent of last year. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that great
portion of the land formerly used for
raising melons has been placed in
wheat and corn.
The melons have been great money
makers for Southeast Missouri farm
ers, but patriotism demanded wheat
instead.
