Scarcity of ;mhI to Choice Hteer
on l in: I'-aMeni Market
The weekly report of the Bureau of
Markets, Department of Agriculture,
for the week ending Nuveuiber 16th,
covering the markets at Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Washington,
on the beef situation, showed a gen
eral scarcity of good to choice steers.
The report on these markets cover
ing beef was as follows:
Mostton. A general scarcity of
good to choice steers has been very
noticeable all week. What few were
offered could not be sold strictly In
line with last week's prices, due to a
generally light demand. Continued
heavy receipts of cows showing 76
per cent of the total lias been more
than the trade required, which has
been reflected in a lower market dur
ing the latter part of the week on all
medium and common grades. There
have been no arrivals of strictly
good cows. A decline In price of from
SOc to $1.00 per cwt. has taken place
since Monday. All medium grade'
Steers have been hard to move and
some odd lots have found their way
to the freezer. Kosher MMf, while
in rather liberal supply throughout
the week, has at no time been in ex
cess of the demand. The general
healthy condition of the trade Is re
flected In an advance of about 50c per
cwt. during the week. Bulls have
been practically at a standstill, only
medium and a few common were re
ceived and these sold at unchanged
prices and no improvement in de
mand. New York. Good and heavy
weight medium Bteers sold fairly
steady all week. A good many of
those weighing over 500 pounds went
to the freezers on government con
tracts. Common and lightweight
medium grade steers sold at reduced
pricoB ever since the first of the week
and are from $1.00 to $1.50 lower
than Monday's opening. The very
few good steers brought $17.50 to
$19.00. The Kosher chucks and
plates market also suffered from les
sened demand, but remained barely
steady. Plates out of common and
medium cattle are selling higher than
the chucks and hinds and ribs out
of the same carcasses. Proportion of
cows coming on the market 1b slight
ly greater than last week. Bulk are
medium grade and moved well at
Kosher bwf sold at firm prices under
a rather good demand. Cows, with
increased receipts, were moved on a
steady market with a somewhat slow
demand. The receipts of bulls, most
of which were bologna bulls, were a
little larger than those of last week.
The market held fairly steady under
a light demand.
WaMliington. The market opened
steady to strong at Inst Monday's
prices. Salesmen talked strong
prl "s but, with receipts heavier than
last week, the market gradually
weakened, closing aboat $1.00 lower.
The quality of the offerings wf.s poor.
A few good steers brought from
$17.00 to $17.50, while medium
steers sold from $14.00 to $17.00,
and common ones from $12.00 to
$14.00. Bulk of sales was between
$13.00 and $15.50. More than nor
mal receipts of cows sold slowly at a
wide range of prices. A few tops
brought $16.00, while good cows
sold at $14.00 to $15.00. Light
weight common cows sold as low as
$11 50.

Iowa, who is chairman of the Na-

Whatever variety of tuber was of
fered, in the judging of Exhibit I
for all counties, Mr. Fitch awarded
the first prize to Kimball county and
the second to box Hutte county. He
Stated, however, that the competition
was very keen between the two ex
hibits and that the decision, was made
upon a very slight margin.
The individual winners were as
follows: Irish Cobbler, Class II, first
prize, Dud Uetzold, Alliance; Becond
prize, T. Farmer, Kimball. Pearl,
first prize, Max Bickel, Kimball; sec
ond prize, H. T. Hollck, Kimball.
Triumph, first prize, O. E. Ernst,
Kimball; second prize, John Claus-
sen, Dlx. Class 3, first prize, Con
Trout, Kimball; second prize, J. l'ed-
rett, Kimball. Early Ohio, first
prize, liud lletzold, Alliance; Becond
prize, Wayne Wilson, Alliance.
The winner of the county exhibit,
which was Kimball county, was
awarded a handsome silver cup, the
donor being the Newberry Hardware
Company of this city. In order to
keep the cup as a permanent prize,
however, it is necessary for a county
to win the first prize for three con
secutive years. Therefore Kimball
county farmers must uphold their
added reputation for two more years,
or forfeit the cup to the next winner,
who will likewise be subjected to the
winning of three first prizes in suc
cession to keep possession of the cup.
The exhibits from other counties
represented were all exceptionally
good. The exhibitions presented
were a sight pleasing to anyone,
whether or not they be farmer or
business man. To see immense ex
hibits of first class potatoes, graded
and arranged so as to make them
show off in the best style, is well
worth anyone's attention, and those
who failed to attend this convention
and take in this sight may some .'.ay
realise just what they have missed
in the way of a first-class educational
potato show that will result in a bet
ter grade of potatoes being raised for
the markets in years to come.
Machinery Kxliibit
There were ten eastern firms rep
resented in the Potato Machinery
Exhibit in the Masonic building on
West Third street. Machinery was
exhibited that proved to be of great
interest to those attending the con
vention. Modern machines for all
purposes in connection with properly
and economically growing the potato
were shown, and in all probability
some of these Btyles will be seen in
the near future on western Nebraska
farms.
