Most transactions on the cattle Market wednesday were definitely in favor of the Selling Side of the Trade and with receipts proving of very moderate dimensions for the mid week session buyers were apparently keen to secure their quota of the available supplies. Consequently rather Good action was injected into the Market with most classes to killers commanding steady to Strong rates.

Heavy steers to ibs., Are at the disappearance stage forcing killers to take Plain and even rough cattle at prices out of line with what qual tied animals Are realizing. There is scant precedent Lor much of what is happening in cattle Trade circles. Never before have stickers and Corn fed steers sold As close together. Feeders Are walking the floor nights wondering where the fall Purchase is coming from. Mean while another big Corn crop is going into the maturing stage Al though somewhat late and in Dan Ger of Early Frost damage a Washington estimate that 15 to 20 per cent More cattle would go to the shambles than last year on which packers based a Promise of a to has gone with the wind. Facing acute Short age of Western grass beef and stack ers both killers and feeders Are in a quandary.

Instead of showing a marked in crease Over last year beef production has actually contracted when figured on a tonnage basis. Com Mission houses at Chicago handling heavy steers have queried their customers concerning visible Supply for the next six months to. Discover a marked deficiency. Meanwhile practically no weighty Fleshy cattle Are going on Corn. At other markets a Load of big steers is a Novelty Omaha and Kansas City not getting a sufficient number to Supply local requirements. As the trans Missouri Region is Bare of two year old steers longer feeding periods or cashing cattle at Light weights is imperative. Cattle imports have dropped to diminutive volume. In May Only head entered of which a Large percentage were mexican refugee Stock. During the first five months of 1938, cattle imports were compared with last year and 1936. But for the mexican Bovine Regira these figures would have been reduced 50 per cent and heavy receipts from that country represent liquidation rather than production. No Trump technique have their favor j Ite Type club indeed their favorite shots or so the average Bridge player either consciously or subconsciously prefers one kind of play Over another.
