Reviewing tha cattla sllnatlon at the

The weak baa brought forth a good many
chsngee la taa cattla market. There baa
been a deluge of off-grade thla cattla bera
which always Baa Ita effect on the whole
market. While good cattla have not auf
fared a loaa to any great extent, probably
60 cant sines the high tlma off-grade,
thin type have taken a decided drop. Prlcea
today oa these grades ara close on to 33
por hundred wtignt lower thaa when they
were brlnatnr nnaeard-of ortcea Thla nat
orally excited the farmers, and they let
moat every kind of bovine to. which cause a
the drop. Ae they always ssy. Wbat goes
dp moat come dowa' Looking over the
trade, it looks aa If good cattla ara going
to bold ud fairly stssdy. with a big mar
aln between these and the common gradea
Tha eproed between fairly good and strictly
good cattla will no doubt also show a much
bister anread than In ordinary umea
What few good cattla wa have naa nera
thla week got a good turn. One bunch of
prime steers sold at 313.23. Outside of this
bunch, the highest sale In tha beet ateer
division waa at (14.30. one load or very
good steers getting this flgura Several loads
of lust decent killers sold from 312.000
13.30. with tha medium gradea down to
31L30. Off-grade, thin and light atuff sold
00 an 38b 10 ranaa
"While a few odd bunches ef good, heavy
cowa. all getting tha 13-cent flgura there
have not been enough of these gradea here
during the week ta teat valuta A very
good grade la celling at 112912.30, with
medlnm klnda going on a 1011 ranga
Anything selling under this la finding

from 3L60 to 32 por hundredweight Ordi
nary cow atuff la eelllng frora 7 cents op.
with tha common and bldo-aad-rlb sort from

"Bulls price have also dropped off con
tldershly. Best heavy bulla ara getting

Flour Holdings Are 84 Per Cent of
Last Year, but Supply of All Sub.
etitutes, Particularly Corn,
Has Increased Heavily.
WASHINGTON, May 11. Commercial
stocks of wheat reported . to tha United
States Department of Agriculture in a food
survey dated April 1, 1918, amounted to
29.124,278 buxhela according to a atatement
lust Issued by the Bureau of Markets. This
amount was held by 8876 flrmt, consisting of
elevators, warehouses, grain mil It and
wholesale grain dealers and was slightly
less thaa 8s per cent of the stocks held by
the same firms on April 1. 1917. The com
mercial visible supply figures for the near
est data as published by the Chicago Board
of Trade, namely, April 6, 1U18. showed only
4,695,000 buthelt, as against 47,363,000 bush
els a year ago; while Hradstreete reported
10.180,000 bushels on hand March 80. 1918,
as against 43,525.000 bushels for tha same
date a year earlier.
It ia pointed out that the comparative
flgurea thua shown for ths commercial stocks
of wheat this year and last should be con
sidered In connection with tba stocks stit!
remaining on the farma No figures are
available with reference to ths. estimated
stocks on farraa for April 1. However, flg
urea previously issued by the department
show that the estimated stocks on farms
for March L 1918, were greater than for the
tome date a year earlier, being 111,650,000
buthelt. as sgainst 100,650,000 buthelt. , At
tha a&me time, the movement of wheat to
tha 11 primary markett, according to trade
figures, waa considerably greater in March,
1017. than In March thla year, being 20.062.-
000 butbels, as against 5.804;o00 busbela
These figures Indicate, it Is stated, that tne
stocks of wheat remaining on farma April
1 thta year were greater than those of a
year ago.
The stocks of other cereals reported were.
In round flgurea: Corn, 33,000,000 buthelt;
oata 46.000,000; barley, 14,000.000, and rye,
4,000.000. These figures represent the fol
lowing percentagea of the April L 1917,
stocks: Corn, 104 per cent; oata, 76 per cent:
barley. 142 per cent, and rye, 130 per cent.
Hence, while tbo commercial stocks of
wheat and oata wara considerably less on
April. 1. 1918. than on April 1. 1917. tha
commercial stocks of corn, barley and rye
were larger.
The wheat flour. Including a small quan
tlty of whole wheat and graham flour,
amounted to 2.818,847 barrels, reported by
8483 firms This amount was 84 per cent
of the stocks held one year ago. The stocks
of wheat-Hour substitutes, namely, of flour
and meal from gralne other than wheat,
were all considerably larger than thote of a
year ago. Of these wheat-flour substltutea
the stocks of corn flour and meal, amounting
to a total of 35,000,000 pounds, is by far tha
mott Important Item. This amount repre
sents nearly 200 per cent of tba commercial
stocks of corn flour and meal on hand April
L 1917.
