The agriculture department predict ed today cattle prices the remainder of this year will continue to average higher than in 1036. It said Increased consumer de mand for meat and higher prices for hides caused packers to pay 13 per cent higher prlcea for cattle the first quarter of this year than In 1930. Grain-fed and better grade of slau ghter cattle will advance In price later thia summer and fall, the de partment said, while the seasonal de cline of lower grades will be less than usual. Slaughter supplies will be smaller, the department predicted, because high feed costs have caused early marketing. With normal crops this year, many cattle wilt be withheld from market for replacement pur poses and fattening, the department said. It reported the southwest had fur nished a larger portion of cattle this year than average because of better range conditions there. It predicted Texas, New Mexico and Arleona will supply 10 per cent more of western cattle than averago. Cat tle beng fattened in the corn belt number one-third lees than last sea son and the smallest ever recorded, the department said.
