MARKET REPORT
July 3, 1917.
Cattle receipts were 8000 head,
market fairly active, and steady, with
a few strong spots, top steers $13.85.
Hog receipts were 10,000, market 15
higher, top $15.85. Sheep and lamb
receipts 6700, market steady at the
decline of yesterday, best lambs $16,
Beef Cattle
Missouri blue grass and corn steers
brought $13.25, and yearlings of the
same type from same section brought
$12.50. Some fair to good Nebraska
fed yearling steers and heifers weigh
ing 700 lbs Drought $11.75. A train
of Arizona steers arrived and sold at
$9.50. Oklahoma grass steers were
in fairly good supply, at. $7.50 to
$9.00, a few canner steers below $7,
cow3 $6.25 to $8.25. North Texas cake
fed steers sold at $10.40 to $11 and
South Texas caked steers sold at
$9.85, heifers $9.25. Veal calves are
stronger, sales up to $14.00 this week.
Recent declines in the market will re
buce supplies through July unless an
extended drouth should develop.
Stockers and Feeders
Best grades of stock steers sell
around $9.00, and useful cattle are
available down to $7.00, some common
stockers as low ai $6.50. Feeding
steers not only followed the general
decline, but also lack all support from
killer buyers, who now are getting
plenty of grass- beef, sales of good
feeders at $9.25 to $10. Stock cows
and heifers range from $5.50 to $8.50,
which is a new set of figures for them.
i Hogs
Keen competition developed in the
hog yards, and 15.85 was paid for
choice heavies, medium weights up to
$15.75, light hogs mostly at $14.75 to
$15.35, bulk of all sales $15.00 to
$15.75. The hog market here . has
been showing remarkable strength,
top here being about fifteen cents
above St. Louis top, 10 cents above
(Eft. 'Joseph and 50 cents above Omaha,
about the same margin effective each
day recently. Order buyers are get
ting some of the hogs, which in con
nection with light receipts, forces
strong competition from all the pack
ers. The market is 25 higher than the
close of last week, and appears to be
going good, but there is a strong
feeling about the hog yards that pack
ers will soon succeed in putting the
price down materially. -Sheep
and Lambs
The market is steady to strong to
day, following the champion break
of the season yesterday, when pack
ers quit the. day bidding $16 for best-
Jambs, after paying $17.25 early in
the season for choice ones. Best lambs
here today brought$16.00. and ewes
reached $9. Brusher goats bring here
$7.75 to $8.25. Killers claim the east
ern mutton market has gone to pieces,
hence temporary lack of interest in
live animals.

I still have several of these servants
who would like places on farms in
either Ellis or Trego counties. All
that I have placed are giving the best of
satisfaction and never complain that
the work is too bard. They will work
cheaper than any other servants you
have ever had on the farm, require very
i crude quarters, will do the washing, -ironing,
churning, milk the cows, sep
arate the cream, fan the baby to sleep,
pump the water, sweep the loors with
out injuring the carpets and rugs, keep
the incubator at the right temperature,
make the toast and coffee for the hurry
breakfast, keep the ice box cool and
, make sufficient ice for the family use
and many other little services so neces
sary for your comfort. Never complain,
require only a little to eat and are not
very particular about what it is; so long
as it is clean. A 'small outlay is re
', quired at the time they go to work, but
after that, the wages are almost noth-
ing. Never get cranky and are .on the
