Mnrkets last Wevk
The report of the Bureau of Mar
kets, United States Department of
Agriculture, on the meat trade con
ditions for the week ending Novem
ber 9th, shows a heavier demand for
beef on the Boston. New York, Phila
delphia and Washington markets:
The beef situation was as follows:
Boston. A heavy increase in the
demand for cows has been reflected
in the total number of receipts
throughout the entire week. Records
how that the receipts covering the
period of the first four days of the
present week are seventy per cent of
the total. This is an increase of about
five per cent over the receipts of the
previous week. The demand for bet
ter grade cows has been just about
equal to the supply. The absence of
any demand for medium grade steers
has been a noticeable feature all
we?k. A few odd lots of good to
choice steers on different days were
offered but the trade required only
a small number. Prices on both of
these grades today are about $1.00
per cwt. lower than on Monday with
the demand not quite so good. No
activity whatever is noted In the mar
ket for bulls and prices remain un
changed. Supply of kosher beef has
been liberal throughout with a de
mand and prices steady to strong.
New York. Steers sold at fairly
steady prices, chucks and plates were

! in demand, but hindquarters were
very hard to move. On all stuff be
low the good kind better prices could
be obtained for the chucks and plates
than for the hinds and ribs. The
price of kosher chucks and plates de
clined somewhat from last Sunday's
ngure until now the bulk of them are
i selling at from 118.00 to 919.00.
: City dressed hinds and ribs have
been accumulating; any reasonable
I bids have been accepted. The cow
I market has remained Hum through
lout the week, and the prices of bo
; logna bulls remained unchanged
from last week's quotations.
Philadelphia. One lot choice cat
tle composed of steers and heifers
sold for $23.50. The receipts of
good steers were more than sufficient
to supply demand as they were moved
very slowly all week. Medium and
common grades were in abundant
supply,- in fact, more than the de
mand would take without forcing
sales. The spread in price is wide
on these grades, due to the large
range in quality, there being some
light and common cattle sold. With
a normal supply of kosher beef and
a good demand the market held firm
for the week. The Bmall supply of
good cows sold at $13.50 to $14.00
under a fair demand. Bologna bulls
which comprised practically all of the
light supply sold from $11.00 to
$12.50 under a fair demand.
Washington. Receipts were heav
ier than last week. The demand has
been no better. Liberal offerings in
common and medium grade steers
and cows with the bolk on the line
between the two grades have wanted
for buyers. While price quotations
have shown little variation from
Monday of last week, the bulk of
sales has been at prices 50c to $1.00
lower. Medium steers closed at
$14.00 to 16.50 and medium cows at
$13.00 to $14.00. Hindquarters
h.ive been slower than they were last
week. Some common hinds were
sacrificed as low as $12.00. Fore
quarten have been In good demand
at all times, selling at a wide range
of prices from $11.00 to $15.00.
The Market closing showed:
lloMon. A gradual movement to
the freezer of medium grade steers
and some cows has tended to keep
the market practically clean of any
surplus. The range of prices on all
steels is full as wide as one week
ago. More favorable weather has
seemed to put some life into the
trade.

Philadelphia The supply on hand

Washington.- Some care are yet
due. Present stocks of beef, pork
and lambs are cleaned up well. At
the close today beef was steady while
pork was a little stronger. Lambs
were steady to lower with some sac
rificial sales made to clean up stock.
Retailers report tjade about the same
as last week, very dull and draggy
with a very noticeable decrease in
the demand for lamb.
On tiiMird at the ItaAding iate!
It is a fine thing to guard our
homes against alien soldiers of whose
purposes we are all aware. But It is
also very important to guard them ,
against other Insidious foes that i
creep in under the disguise of friend- i
y entertainers to plunder and destroy !
the cherished I eals, the lofty stan
darda, the clear views that have
given the home its character.
