Cattle Receipts were large this morning.
S3 ears being reported in. This Is the
heaviest run for a Monday since three
week ago, and with that exception tho
heaviest for a long time back. It would
appear from reports brought In by stock
men that the large run la due partly to
aorae feeders running out of oorn and hay.
Soma of them hesitate to buy more feed
at prevailing high prloee. While still others
find It difficult to secure what they want
In. their Immediate neighborhood. Another
reason for the large shipments of cattia la
the sear that haa gone out. regarding gov
ernment regulation of prloee,- Tho packers
In advocating that the government should
put s limit to the high ooet of meat prod
ucts mads a very ahrewd movement to
break the market. As a matter of fact
eommlsalon men on the Omaha market,
and on all 'other bit; markets, understand
most thoroughly that the government has
not the slightest intention or putting a
Hmltt on prloee, and even If the govern
ment did have auch designs, with the op
position that would be provoked In congress
It would be Imposslbls to get a law through
that body In time to effect the preaent sup-
dIv of corn fed cattle, which will be prac
tically all disposed of by July. Stockmen
at the big markets regret the scare, because
If It continues It tnuat result In shippers
loslns money needlessly.
