The National Live Stock Commls sion company of South Omaha , In Its market letter last week , has this to say regarding live stock : "No change of note has occurred In the market for good to choice corn fed cattle , as the demand Is equal tr the supply and prices lire well main tallied. The common and medluii grades show a decline of 10 to 20c ow Ing to the liberal receipts of western grass cattle. The prospects are stll good for fat cattle and wo advise feed ing cattle of good quality , hut would ship others when most convenient. "The very best fat cows and heifers are selling about steady , while other grades have declined 10 to 25c com pared with the best time last week. "The supply of stockers and feeders Is only moderate , and as buyers are not nt nil anxious , the trade Is quiet and inclined toward lower prices. Un til th6 corn crop Is assured , wo look for an unevenly lower market. Light steers , $3.25 to $3.75 ; medium nnd heavy feeders. $3.50 to $1.25 , according to weight , quality and condition. "The hog market closes weak with prices about lOc lower , the bulk sell ing at $0.45 to $0.50. Choice light and medium weight hogs being scarce , the range in prices Is wider , while the 'old sows' nnd heavy packing grades gon- ernlly are selling at a discount. "As our readers know , we have been consistent 'bulls' on the hog market ever since last December , nnd hnvo been right. We consider present pric es high , nnd while they may rule n little better during the next two months , we would not 'gamble' very hard In that direction , but operate carefully and ship hogB fast as they are ready , or when most convenient. "Western sheep prices have had a setback of fully 50o to 75c per cwt during the pnst week , duo partly to a had mutton market in the east and a decided Increase In reaeipts at all mar kets. Feeder buyers are placing orders freely and there is a good prospect of a strong demand for all classes of feeders. "Wo do not look for much change In the fat sheep market during the balance of this week , but expect to see a reaction and bettor prices within a short time. "This Is the time of year for anyone thinking about buying sheep , lambs or cattle to write to the "National" who will keep thorn well posted and give them the personal attention.
