Guaranteed Weekly Circulation in excess of 60,000 Copies = Detroit Kansas City Market News for Farmers Strike Talk Smashes Wheat Prices Weather Conditions and Car Shortage Take Second Place, But Grain Drops 5 to 7 Cents ‘Wheat trading opened last week with a smash, and prices in Chicago went seven cents below the Saturday- close on rumors of a railroad srtike, coupled with the car shortage and a streak of damp weather in Kansas. The pre- vailing element of the wheat situation for the week was the railroad strike which threatened - throughout the period, and was still impending Satur- day night, although it has since been temporarily averted. _The weather in the winter wheat belt - is entitled to first place, according to tradition in influencing the wheat situ- ation at this time of year, and it had * some bearing on different days, but on the whole little. It is apparent from field reports that winter wheat is not in as good condition as it should be, fields still dry in many places, and in others the seed winter killed. Never- theless the international situation and embargoes held the spotlight last week. On Wednesday a maximum drop of six cents leaving a close five cents be- low the opening, was caused by the sinking of the American food ship Al- gonquin, but the Russian revolution, and the general fear of Submarines was seemingly overlooked in view of newer developments. In fact there were many important foreign inquiries_dur- ing the week, and some heavy exports while on one or two days, prospects of a slight relief on the car shortage, showed the elasticity of the market, and raised prices two or three cents. Towards the end of the week, with prospects for the railroad strike weak- ening, and hints current that even if there were a strike the president would find some means to keep the railroads in operation, the wheat market revived and there were advances of several cents on Friday and Saturday. Corn and other cereals followed the ups and downs of wheat for the week. Cash demand was about the same as | last week, with many mills idle or run- ning at reduced capacity. Possibility that Canada may fix the export price of wheat, went practically unheeded on American grain exchanges. Big Cattle Rcceipts, Prices Slump The biggest showing of butcher stock at the South St. Paul stock yards for the year, oecurred Monday, March 12 when 5200 head arrived. The open- ing up of spring weather in many live- stock sections brought out heavy ship- ments also to other markets. Fat cows and heifers were in' good demand by packers, who seemed to show a prefer- ence for this over the steer stuff of- fered, good she stuff bringing $8 to $9. Some extra good prices were paid for top steers, however, a carload of prime black cattle bringing $10.50, at the Swift & Company plant for immediate killing. The offerings of veals were also abnormally heavy on Monday, 400 head arriving, and giving a range of “quality that has been lacking of late. Top veals for the day were $11.50 but they advanced to $12 later in the week. Feeder and stocker business improv- ed, and there was such a good country demand that speculaters paid $8.50 to $9 expecting to resell to finishers at a profit. They were not disappointed, and for such good material as they res- cued from the packers, who kept a close eye on all animals suitable for immediate good beef, they found good country demand. A carload of fine whitefaces fit for the hammer were sold as feeders to speculators at $9.70. The cattle came from Minot and aver- aged 1010 pounds. The milker and springer demand has been good for the week, and the best animals have been bringing $80 to $90, : zimmals A;’f;")wn -P;“ig and some above $100, although the bulk 1 1120 8'25 is around $75.

But the sheep trade was mostly confined to mediocre animals, with a few fat ewes dropping in occasionally at $7.50 to $10.50 to help mutton production. Most sales consisted of individual offerings or small lots of three or four head. REPRESENTATIVE SALES Canners and Cutters No. Animals Aver. Wt.
