Demand from both local packers and shippers was fair, but owing to the extremely bearisn advice from outside markets the sentiment was all in favor of a lower trend of val- uos. atrictiy aesiraDio oeei eieeris w,rt quoted about steady, but on the fair to medium cattle It was a slow ana unvsniy tower deal from start to finish. Cows and heifers were in limited supply, and while the best kinds commanded prices that compared favorably with the close of last week the medium grades were siow to 16d lower. Veal calves wer steady and there was no particular change in the mar kft for bulls, stags, etc. There were tolerably liberal offerings of stock cattle and feeding steers here and a rather indifferent demand for them. Trade was slow and prices unevenly lower all around. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS, No. Av. Pr. No. 600 $7 10 21.... At. Pr. 4 609 $7 35 35 19 . 900 . 787 . 802 .1096 7 40 7 85 8 35 8 76 13. 7.

Offerings today Were estimated at seventy-six cars, or $,320 head, being 2,600 smaller than a week ago and 3,000 lighter than two weeks ago, but show ing a gain of about 600 head over the cor responding Monday of last year. Trade w-- fairly active right from tne outset this morning. Values showed a gen erally better tone at all points and local buyers, both shippers and packers, were out early. With everyone wanting hogs and only a moderate supply on hand, It did not take traders long to get down to terms, and long before 10 o'clock everything had been cleaned up at prices that wer generally 10 15o higher than last week's close. Good mixed and butcher kinds, which have been scattered all over a wide spread, showed the most unavenness today, individ ual sales being called as much as a quarter higher, though most of them sold on about the same basis as packers that Is, 10 16c higher. As noted, everything was cleaned up early, the market being on the whole the most active seen In some time. Bulk of the mixed and heavy packers was bought at $14.45014.70, with the better mixed kinds and good to best lights and butchers selling on up. The top reached $14.40, the price being the highest that has been paid since a week ago today, and, in fact, that general market was the highest Inc th early half of last week. Representative sales!

On paper the market was a dime or more lower, but most traders did not consider the offerings of as good quality as at the close of last week and predicted that dressed costs would be right close to steady. At any rate th undertone was weak. though this was due mainly to the faot that all th lambs that ar coming are dressing out poorly. Early offers were as much as 26o lower, though In the end bulk old at figures that were no mora than 1016c lower on paper and were not even that much down, quality considered. A few loads, mostly on the lnbetween order were till in the pens at midday, though th big end of the offerings had ohanged hands by Shortly after 11 o'clock. Range offer ings sold mainly at $15.40018.60, the lat ter price being ss high as was paid. On the whole, sorting was a good deal more severe, but the Iambs needed It. Natives were too scarce to be worthy of mention, as ware old sheep, which in 'the absence of supplies were called nominally steady. The call for feeders had broadened a good deal since the close of last week. Feeders made up nearly a half of the total offer ings, but most of them were more desir able than the stuff that was here Frl- ay and a dosen or so loads had changed hands by midday at prices that were fully steady to, If anything, a little stronger than the low spot on the extreme close. One band of light stuff sold at $15.25 and an eight-car string, which carried a llttl mors weight, was bought at $15.00.

Distillers and Other Industries Compete for Corn at Highest Prices of Present Season. Chicago, July 23. Corn prices ascended today to the highest point yet this sesson, Distillers competed sharply with other In dustries for the limited offerings available. The market close nervous, at a net advance of ttd to 1(0 with September at $1.66 and December, $1.15 to $1.17. Wheat gained $.4o, oat finished unchanged to Vie lower and provisions up to c to 70c. Tightening of values in the corn market began right at the outset and continued without any great hindrance throughout the day. The evident scantiness of reserve stocks appeared to stimulate urgent demand for supplies for Immedlte use. At times, lnfluenctlal houses did considerable selling, especially whenever prtoes seemsd to bej perhaps on the verg of a radical advance. In all such cases, however, the absorptive power of the markej. quickly restored an upward slant to quotations. What gave special emphaila to bullish sentiment was th fact that stocks here amounted to less than a tenth of the total a year ago, and there seemed to be no propect at present of any notable Increase. Wheat rose in accord with the Improved outlook for the establishment of a govern ment minimum prlo of $2 a bushel at pri mary center. Bullish crop reports from North Dakota and Canada likewise received attention, and so too did sdvlces that mill ers were free buyers at St. Louis. Besides, It was said the winter harvest In the cen tral portion of the belt bad been delayed by wet weather. unwelcome rains and many reports of oats having been blown down made the oats market strong the greater part of the day. Demand subsided, though, after prices had asoended to a new high level. Provisions jumped on account of advances In corn and hogs. Shorts covered freely. especially In pork, which soared to the top most figures ever known, $41.30 a barrel for delivery this month. Chicago cash prices Wheat: Nominal.
