’ O o I LIVESTOCK NEWS 1 O — ° (Reported by John Clay » and Company.) Killer steer buyers are becoming more discriminating in their demands, high-dressing beeves of both light and strong weightnow being preferred. Recently all stronger weights were discriminated against, while light offerings were actively sought after. Plain heavies still are meeting dull call. A rest of shortfed heifers descended on the market last week and broke quotations covering that class. Early this week, however, the decline was largely regained when offerings of this class were greatly curtailed. Range cattle receipts aire tapering off, while demand strengthened a little early this week, enabling sellers to regain as much as 25c of the recent 25 to 50c loss. Call continues most active for calves and light yearlings. Practical top on calves is 111, with yearlings stopping largely at $lO. Select kinds of either class are quoted higher. Feeder steers are bulkind downward from $9. Range sheep rips are nearly over for the season, reducing the supply of feeder lambs to small volume. Whiteface Montanas are selling up to $9.25. The winter’s hog run is getting under way, receipts of late being largest since last January, while prices have receded gradually from a week earlier. Eastern demand for light weights is increasing, while the offering' of heavy Imtchers is becoming scarcer. *The . ' result has been a narrowing of the * price spread, averages; between 180 and 300 lbs. now clearing within a 20c gap. ’ ' ' No important orders for' wool for military purposes from our own government or fromabrodd have materialized as yet.'

The group makes several hiking and camping trips during the year and has placed street markers in Syracuse and are now working on a house numbering project.

Although a novel, it takes its material from one of the most melodramatic and fantastic pages in American history—the building of America’s western empire with all the suffering, courage and bloody terror which went into its making. It is the story of Brigham Young and Joseph Smith, and of the strange, rapid growth, the prosecution and heroism, the amazing migration across the western plains of the Mormons. "Escape,” by Ethel Vance. Here is one of the most talked about novels of the fall. It is the story of a young American whose mother is condemned to death in a Nazi prison camp, and is is full of surpassing suspense. "Valley of Thunder,” by Rex
