The outstanding development in cattle prices thus far in 1D27. is the rising premium on heavy, well fin ished cattle. Such cattle were rela tively low during all of 193G, due to abnormally high receipts. It is es timated by the experts in the United States department of agriculture that 12 per cent more hisrhly vnished cat tle were sent to market in iy"2C than in 1925. This was due primarily to cheap corn, according to economics department of Iowa State college. The feeder movement was slower in getting under way last fall than a year earlier. Shipments of feed ers from 64 markets was 45.000 smaller in July. 192G. than in July. 1925 and 1S0.000 smaller in August than a year earlier. In September, however, the 1926 shipments were 95.000 larger than in 1925. In Octo ber they were about the same for each year. In November the 1926 shipments were reported as SI, 000 larger than in 1.9 25. The small run of light feeders dur ing August and September has had a double effect on the supply of heavy well-finished stock during the last two months. The lighter early run of feeders has made for smaller re ceipts of corn fed cattle duringthe early winter; also the longer period required to put them into the heavier weight classes has further delayed the run of heavy well-finished stock. The consequent spread in price be tween the heavy and light weight classes gives an added incentive to longer feeding to put on the addi tional finish, so that it seems that a good many cattle are being held back for this reason. In ,viev of the above conditions. heavier runs of well-finished cattle may be looked for soon. The import ant thing to watch so far as the im mediate price situation is concerned, is just when these highly-finished cattle, will begin to move to market in substantial numbers. ; Business stationery, programs and t hoi all kinds of job printing at the Jour- meeting on account of the illness of.nal Office.
