STEERS CONTINUE
TO SHOW DECLINE
Medium and Weighty Kinds
Still Flood Leading Mar
ket Centers.
By the Associated Press.

6y the ASSociateo Fless' -
CHICAGO october l7.-That the
country is still full of long-fed, medium
weight and weighty steers was rather
forcibly demonstrated at leading mar
kets last week.
The situation was made all the more
complex by big runs of grass cattle OH
Western ranges and Virginia pastures
more Jewish holidays, the last OF
three-week series, and unsatisfactory
outlet for heavy beef.
improvement in light carcasses, par
ticularly heifers, was meanwhile
which in final analysis was nothing
more or less than two-sided affair, only
weights below 900 pounds getting de-
pendable action. Anything heavier IN
the steer line lost is to 25 cents, occa-
sionally more at most centerS, while
little steers and heifers both fat and
otherwise gained a similar amount.
The she-stock trade grew more and
more unsettled as the week progressed
Lambs Most Erratic.
Lambs were the most erratic Of all
live stock, and hogs slipped for the
second consecutive week. In the ag-
gregate, receipts of all species were not
materially expanded. But the fact that
cattle supplies continued to run con-
Siderably above last year should not be
lost sight Of. More than half million
head increase is shown by Federal in
spection slaughter figures this year as
compared with year ago for the period
June to September. inclusive.
The uncertainty of piling up addi-
tional storage stocks of pork and mar
row immediate slaughter demands con-
tributed to a sagging trend OF hog
prices. Declines ranging from 10 to 35
cents around the circuit affected par
ticularly new crop hogs scaling under
240 pounds
Lambs lost most of an early rather
fashy upturn, killers being unable to
push the dressed market accordingly.
The top dropped back to s735 after
SITS had been reached at Chicago.
The twist in buying orders favoring
lightweight cattle made for depend
able trade all week long for anything
in the light yearling class both steers
and heifers. Grade for grade the pre-
MUM paid for yearling steers over
heifers was discouragingly small.
Heifers Bring Top.
The closing top at Chicago. $3.50,
was paid for 801-pound heifers, the
6opping at s6.4O. Very fat but plain
800 pound bullocks at the same time
could not beat $3.50. The weeks ex-
treme fed steer top was s6.75 paid for
strictly choice medium weights at Chi
cago, 1,340-pound offerings making
$3.50 at Omaha.
The heavy heifer trade felt the pinch
Of lack of kosher demand late in the
week, after 1o0O-pound offerings had
sold rather freely above S. But only
a sprinkling Of heavy steers sold above
$6.25.
The weeks movement Of stockers and
feeders was expanded, all weights get
ting action, but well bred stockers con-
tinued to get first call at most centers.
Stock calves off Montana ranges
brought s5.35 to S6.65 at Chicago, and
900-pound feeders brought IS at the
same point, the bulk going at 81 to SIS.
At most markets the hog top dropped
below S. ST. Louis reporting $50 paid
late and Chicago S515 against $540
last Friday at the latter points.

though such payment might be accept
able, in certain instances, In the United
States.
Under this regulation, if the Canadian
dollar is at q discount of 20 per cent On
the date of shipment, the Canadian i'm
porter Is required to pay for his goods
at a rate of $120 in Canadian currency
for every American dollars worth OF
goods purchased. Thus, the Canadian
importer has the choice of paying the
extra 20 cents to the American exporter,
or to the Department of National Reve-
nue. in his own country In the form OF
dumping duty. The United States ex-
porter is not permitted to help his
Canadian customer bear the exchange
burden, and as a result, the sale Of
hundreds of kinds Of American goods in
Canada has declined materially during
the past II months.
It is pointed out, in this connection,
that Whenever the premium on the
American dollar in Canada is over per
cent, it has an arresting influence on
purchases by Canadians in the United
States.
Although the United States Revenue
act of 1882 placed an import tax on
such commodities as lumber and copper
from Canada, the number of import
commodities affected is quite limited.
On the other hand, Canada has an i'm
port, or excise tax. Of per cent on all
imports, dutiable, or otherwise free, and
on top of that is levied sales tax OF 8
per cent, which is based on the duty
paid value of most imports.
Although the sales tax applies also to
domestic products in Canada. the values
on which it is based are higher on i'm
ports than on domestic commodities.
Commercial travellers from Great
Britain and other countries having trade
agreements with Canada. are permitted,
under the Dominion customs law, to
bring their samples into the country in
bond. Canadian commercial travellers
going to the United States are permitted
to bring in their samples in bond. But
under the present law, American sales
men coming to Canada must pay full
duty on samples every time they cross
the Canadian border and there is no
provision for refund or bond in the
Canadian statute.
American business men. it Is further
pointed out, can drive to Canada in
their own automobiles and purchase
whatever they desire. On the other
hand, however, if they drive to Canada
in their own automobiles to sell any
commodity, the Dominion law StipulateS
that such business men must pay the
full import duty on their automobiles
and 1t is never refunded
