U.S. GENERAL

The cattle market in all
section of the country ran into
new trouble this week. Supplies
were more liberal than in recent
weeks, with fairly heavy num-
bers of fed steers and heifers.
These classes charted a course
to lower levels, with some grades
at new low levels for recent
weeks. On the other hand, cows
held up well, for-numbers were
small, Weakness was also
apparent in the feeder market,
but lighter stock cattle sold
comparatively well.

At most market points it was
just a case of too much beef for
current demand. Furthermore,
the distribution of grades was
not good. In the midwest most
fed cattle ran to good and low
choice grades, and it was on
these that most of the pressure
was applied. By midweek,
quotations on a lot of these
cattle were 50c to 1.00 under
the close of last week.

Far western markets received

fairly liberal supplies of low
grade slaughter steers, kinds
grading down from good. A lot|

of these cattle were from the
Arizona,
where a lot of feeders are now

trying to clean up summer ted
cattle before moving

crop kinds for the fall. Some

lower grading crossbred cattle
as 1.00 per
ewt., but the rather slim run of

choice kinds showed somewhat
less loss.

It is interesting to note that
the cow market continues to
hold at comparatively good
levels for this time of year.
Ordinarily the fall cow run is
underway and prices are pushed
down. But this year the run
has been light because of good

one of the slowest sessions in
steers and yearlings in a long
time. Supplies were abont
