Cattle and corn were see-saw factors in the market of 1924, according to the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation survey. The past three feeding seasons, beginning with the year 1921-1922, have written comfortable profits for the cattle feeders, the last half of each year registering a large number of cattle on corn-belt pastures. Last year, however, with corn high and scarce, fewer feeder cattle were bought. The western and southwestern cattle industry had an extraordinary hard time last year, for prices on feeder cattle, as well as the grass-finished product, were so low that little but loss has accrued to the ranchmen. August to November —months during which the cattlemen usually enter the market and when the prices for feeder cattle indicate the relative prosperity of the cattle growers—recorded very low prices for western kind again in 1924.

point in June, chttle-flnishing did net offer an atractive investment. Receipts for 1924 were heavy enough to compare favorably with those of the pa3t few years, although the supply for the last two or three months wag largely of medium and heavyweight cattle, commanding distinctly disappointing prices. Fat yekrllngs were scarce and brought very high prices.

The high price of com and the disappointing prices on Intermediate grades of cattle resulted In a much smaller movement of feeders to the com belt during 1924. Not only has the movement been much smaller, but, in addition, a great many _of the feeder cattle have been “warmed up” and rushed back to market without proper finishing. Liquidation was the outstanding trend in the cattie market without proper finishing. Liquidation was the outstanding trend in the cattle market at the close of 1924.
