CATTLE PRICES
ARE IMPROVING

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20 - The
definite turn toward improved cat
tie prices is giving cattle feeders
ground for considerable optimism.
The fact that improvement in cat
tie prices is general all over the
United States gives foundation to
the idea that there may be general
improvement in cattle prices There
seems to be no doubt but that the
country is going to be short on high
quality, fed steers during the next
several months.
The far western country was less
affected by drouth conditions dur
ing the past season than any other
section in the United States. The
result is that cattle numbers in
California, Arizona and the Inter-
mountain country are probably
larger than last year, and reports
indicate that despite the higher
levels Of feed prices, there are more
cattle in feed lots than ever before.
Many breeders are Of the opinion
that there will not be enough fed
cattle to go around in the middle
west and the east and they are
hopeful that middle-western buyers
will be competing with Pacific Coast
packers for fat cattle supplies in
the very near future.

employed workers, predominantly
men. Because of this impression re-
ports of the number of applicants
actively seeking work through the
public employment offices mistak-
enly have been considered as ap-
proximations of the volume of un-
employment in various communi-
ties. Such an Interpretation of &C
tive-file reports is not justified
either in fact or theory.
AS all persons who have served
with the Employment Service during
the past 8 years are we'll aware, ac-
tive file figures do not represent
unemployed persons alone and do
not constitute measure of total
unemployment.
The active file of public en-
ployment office is first of all a
practical operating device to assist
in the conduct of placement ac-
tivities. This is the primary reason
for it's existence.
And an operating instrument the
active file should contain the .ap-
plications of all registrants actually
available for and seeking employ
ment. In practice, operating con-
ditions to some degree prevent full
achievement of this goal In large
measure these modifying factors
reflect the degree in which regis
trantsfail to maintain full contact
with the employment offices. For
example. if an active registrant
through some source other than the
Employment Service secures a job
that removes him from the labor
market. or for some other reason
no longer wishes to be considered
for referral. and fails to notify the
employment office of that act, his
registration temporarily at least
would still continue to be consider
ed as active. AS result, the number
of actually active registrations
would be correspondingly overstat-
ed. Retention of non-available reg
