for April and later.

Tor April and later.
These reports bear out marked
opinion that a considerable part of
the cattle on feed this winter are be-
ing uesd to salvage soft corn and
will be given only a short feed. This
would seem to forecast marketings of
cOTn-fniS1ed cattle in December end
January almost as large as a year
ago but a considerable falling off
late In the winter and during the
winter and during the spring month";.
Since the proportion of fed cattle In
the total market supply of cattle is
not known, the effect of decreased
feeding upon the total marketing dur
ing the next five months cannot be
determined. Nearly all evidence
points to a considerable decrease ar
ter january.
