KARSTEDT, PricevUle Live Stock Report (By Dunn & Levack, Toronto) Extremely hot weather which ser- iously affected the beef trade and an over supply of cattle of medium qual- ity had a definite effect on lowering :prices on this week's cattle market. 'On Monday a few choice lots of cattle -sold at steady prices but all other classes were fully a quarter to a half ilower, also there was no outlet for shipment overseas. 'A few choice steers sold at from !7.00 to 7.25 with weighty steers of medium to good quality from 6.00 â- to 6.75; common to medium 5.00 to B.50. Choice butcher steers and heif- ers sold mostly at from 5.75 to 6.25; fair to good 5.00 to 5.50; common to medium 4.00 to 4.50. Choice baby beeves sold readily at from 8.50 to 9.50, others at lower prices according to quality. Stockers and feeders were slow of sale because of a scarcity of buyers as farmers were busy harvest- ing. A few of the best selected stockers sold at from 4.76 to 5.00 and ciioice feeders of heavier weights at from 5.25 to 5.50. The cow trade was easier, choice from 4.00 to 4.25 with a few light heifery cows at 4.50; fair to good from 3.25 to 3.75; com- mon to medium 2.50 to 3.00; canners and cutters 2.00 to 2.50. The bull trade was slow, choice butcher bulla 4.00 to 4.25; heavy bolognas 3.50 to â- S.75; common to medium bolognas 3.00 to 3.50. The lamb market was disappointing as prices dropped one dollar per hun- dred since last week, choice lambs selling at 8.60. Good butcher sheep sold at from 3.00 to 3.50. The calf market was strong choice from 9.00 to 9.60; fair to good from 8.00 to 9.00 and common to medium 6.50 to 6.50. On Monday the hog market was steady in spite of lower bids, truck deliveries selling at 10.00. The pros- pects look steady to strong for tlie balance of the week depending en- tirely upon supplies. Automobile designers would be in for a real problem if the hoop and 'Inistle'fad 8ver came back into style. â- ''Did you ever take anything for your appetite?" "Sure â€" three meals a day."
