THE ALLIANCE HERALD, AUGUST 1, 1918 I I I - A ' mtiiitiimtt tt.ittt nat SPECIAL CATTLE MARKET LETTER HKOAD i'i mwii FOU GOOD mil MTKKKK. TOP PRICES MAINTAINED -EIGHT STUFF SOED EOW I nu-t Market Information by C. A. MAMOKY, MUr BOWLES LIVE STOCK COM. CO., Omaha, Nebraska. I'nion Stockyards, Omaha, Neb., July 31. With loyalty and patriotism sec ond oaly to our great country and cause, for which we are all fighting, we salute the rer.ders of the Alii:. nee Herald, and all other live stock peo- We congratulate the producers, feeders and shippers upon the pres ent and prospective good prices, and the entire world upon the wonderful response that our ranchmen and farmers have made in increased pro duction. It is, and always will be, our aim to furnish the readers of this paper with the latest, most reliable and helpful information possible, and follow this up with successful and satisfactory celling and filling serv ice. The range season has fairly opened with very liberal receipts for July from Nebraska, Wyoming, South Da kota, Montana and Idaho. The con dition of the aged cattle is remark ably Rood so early, and we have sold 1100 to 1300-lb Wyoming and Mon-j tana steers from $15.50 to $16.50. ' 1 . 1 I I I I i I I ' I . VIVI U V VI fcj UUl'l at $12.00. The packers and shippers are active buyers for fat steers, weighing 100 lb-;, and upwards, and prices have held up to the record marks throughout "the month, clos ing strong at outside figures. Light beifers and thin cows have been very slow sale and prices have de clined 50c to $1.00 on these grades .and also on common to fair cows and steers not good enougii f jr feeders or heavy and fat enough for beef. We have had a good many sand hill and other Nebraska giacs cattle) this month, and the good to choice Cat steers, average 1100 to 1300 lbs., are selling from $14.50 to $16.00: good to choice 1000 to 1150 lbs. sell ing at $13.00 to $15.00; fair to good steers, these weights, sell 50c to $1 tinder these prices. Good to choice fat Nebraska cows and heifers, $8.50 10.50. Fair to good fat Nebraska cows and heifers, $7.75 8.50. Canners and cutters, $6.50 7.50. We understand there is good grass in most set-tions, and until we know more about the corn crop we advise holding back all light and thin stock, especially when it lacks quality. Our reports from every range state, ex cept Montana, are quite, favorable, and we expert a fair incre; se in re ceipts compared with last year, but the demand for beef cal'.le will only me limited by the capacities of the stock yards, packing houses and rail roads to handle the business, both in and out. Even though the war should end suddenly, or this year, the demand for me t will be large and fully equal to the supply, : nd we. therefore, congratulate -the ranch men upon the gcod prospects. Stock and feeding cattle of good quality and weight are selling better, and with such a wide range in prices, we believe ranch men and farmers will do well to keen their supply up to a safe point all of the time. Good to choice feeders, av. 900 to 1100 lbs $10.50 to $13.00 Fair to good feeders, av. 900 to 110 lbs $9.50 to $10.50 Good to cht ice stock cattle, av. 700 to 900 lbs. $9.50 to $10.00 Fair to good stock cittle, av. 700 to 900 lbs $8.50 to $9.50 Yearlings $8.00 to $9 25 Selected wh'tefaces or Angus would sell 25 to 75c higher. Light heifers and -thin cows. . . $6.50 to 7.25 Good to choice stock heifers and cows $7.25 to $7.50 Stock calves $7.50 to $8.50 Bologna bulls $8.00 to $8.75 Fat bulls $8.75 to $10.50 Veal calves $11.00 to $13 50 Cornfed cattle are very scarce, and will be shorter than usual during the fall, leaving the field to the range or grass caKle. The railroad conditions are considerably better, and W9 ! -lleve they will show much improe ment compared with last year, but there will probably be times when cars will be short and delays neces sary. We believe it good judgment to ship fat stock just as soon and Just as fast as it will do to ship and can be handled properly. We ask, as apersonal favor, that any time our readers fail to rccHve this paper on time every week, or do not receive the Daily Journal-Stockman and want it. that they write us promptly so we can get after the publishers. It is always a pleasure to receive letters from our friends re garding their business, and how we can serve them best, and when they have any fat stock to ship, If they will consign it to BOWLES LIVE STOCK COM. CO.. at Omaha, they will receive the benefit of three ex perienced range cattle salesmen, or any who wish to purchase cattle will be properly cared for by two expert feeder buyers. Present prices are high by comparison, and although we have confidence In a good market all of the season, we believe it wise to ship fat stock whenever it is in prop er condition to stand shipment. The hog trade continues to fluctu ate considerably, but the bulk are selling from $18.25 to $18.50, and will sell high for some time. Sheep and lambs are moving free ly, and are In good condition. Fat lambs selling from $17.50 to $17.25; feeding lambs $17.00 to $17.40. Aged sheep Brarce and prives good. Receipts will be much larger during the balance of the season, and prices may work a little lower, but we think everything will hold up to com paratively high levels during the en tire year. Just a line about the BOWLES outfit. The writer, Manager of the Oiuahn house, has had more than 30 years active experience on a large scale, and the organization is made up of skilled traders who have had from 5 to 15 years successful experi ence. We have central pen locations and give our personal attention to the filling, as well as the selling of each consignment and are always ready and glad to render any assist ance possible, both in market infor mation and selling service. io i BOOZE WAS CAUGHT IN DARK NIGHT HOURS Booze is often found in queer re ceptacles. This morning at 2 o'clock the officers of the law found a wood en box with twelve quarts in a Ford auto- the Ford belonged to a well known llemingford citizen Law rence (Shorty) Khomer, who was ar rested along with the booze and the Ford and lodged In the city jail. Two other men the one who brought the booze in the box' from the Casper train to the Ford, and one other neither of whom are known, got away. Shorty gave the officers so much to look after that the others took flight and got away. Before police magistrate Roberts this morning Rhomer was fined $100 and costs. Rhomer vows he will go thirsty before he'll pay another fine espcially since the booze was re tained by the law. mended that immediate action be taken by the circulation of petitions to secure the rural delivery of mail along the ruote. There are 23 houses which can be served between Alliance and Hffland and this Is a sufficient number. Tuesday afternoon Mr. Campen took trip with J. M. Miller and Lloyd Thomas over roads In this dis trict which have been surfaced with magnesia and found them in excel lent condition. After thorough In vestigation as to the deposits and their accessability he recommended that the magnesia be seriously con sidered as the surfacing material for the Potash highway. Final action cannot be taken until the mall route petitions have been circulated, signed and presented to the postofflce department.
