STOCK MARKET FLUCTUATIONS DISCOURAGING

Situation Looks Good for Ultimate Consumer, But Bad for Farmer.

ALL'S QUIET IN EAST CHICAGO AS MILITIAMEN PATROL STREETS

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN A review of last week's fluctuations at the live stock centers, presents a rather discouraging aspect to farmers and shippers, who have been fattening on high priced feeds in anticipation of better prices during the fall months The decline has been so unexepcted and so precipitate that feeders have almost lost their bearings and, in some instances, their nerve, and are letting go, regardless, just when, they most likely, should be holding on. At the present low average level for cattle and hogs, and with cooler

weather, consumption of meats should largely increase, for certain it is, that many have stinted in their outlay for meats, both on account of high cost and because of weather conditions for several months. This is especially true as to fresh beef and por, which are largely cold weather foods. The fact that new corn is ever so much lower than recent prices on the old crop. Is of little benefit, right now. All feeding combinations, though some lower, are still relatively high, coinpared with new corn, and the. animals now being marketed were fed on the very highest priced feeds. This is particularly true as to "finished" cattle, and that these have advanced in price during a general decline is an evidence of scarcity of prime stock. But regardless of this fact, the receipts of cattle at Chicago last Monday, 31,000 head, were the largest of any day since early last January. So few prime steers were in the offering, however, that these advanced to $18.75 on Monday, and reached $19.40 for top on Saturday, in the face of a decline for the average run of cattle duiing the week. Indianapolis Pays $19.50. The top on prime steers at Indianapolis last Saturday was $19.50, or

The top on hogs at Indianapolis last week follows: Monday and Tuesday, $15.10; Wednesday. $14.05; Thursday, $14.50; Friday, $14.60, and on Saturday, $14.35. Mixed and light weignts sold mostly at $14, a decline of 35 cents from Friday's figures. Scarcity of cars for shippers' use helped In the Saturday decline, and receipts were liberal. A moderate demand for feeding cattle at Indianapolis Saturday steadied prices somewhat, also the fact that two packers were in the market for a lot. Little really prime stock was on sale, and inferior stuff sold very close to the bottom of the year, thus making a very wide spread in quotations. Corn and Hog Prices. Hogs at Chicago made a top of $15.40 last Monday, and struck $15.15 on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday the top was $14.90. on Fri-

"With heavy receips at all market centers," said Mr. Shurley, "ther was a decline in the price of hog.s each day, during the week, with good hogs selling locally at $12 on Saturday. This price showed a loss of $10.25 per 100 pounds, compared with the high time, at $22.25. Good cattle ruled steady but all other grades were very dull and hard to sell at a very low price. Veals were lower at 10c to 15c, as to quality. sheei sold down to 5c and lambs at Sc to 10c, at the end of the week." By way of comparison.
