The cattle market lost its keen
edge last week, prices closing 15
to 35 lower for the week. He-
ceipts today are 11000 head, and
the market is 10 to 20 lower on
killing grades, about steady on
stockers and feeders. Packers
claim the beef market is in ex*
tremely bad conditian, and their
complaints are so loud and so
oft repeated that some credence
must be put in them. A. set of
Jewish holidays has depressed
the market on big steers and
while a break in prices at this
time is logical, in view of the
increasing supply of grass cattle
the decline on prime steers is
more emphatic than appears
called for, artd few believe it will
stick. Middle and low grades
of course, must stand the custo-
mary pruning, one effect of which
will be shutting off loading in
South Texas, as present prices
prevent cattle from paying out.
Accumulating abundance of
roughness, and some hopeful
looking corn fields are the stim-
ulus behind the stockerand feed-
er market. Prime heavy steers
brought $9.75 today, bulk of na-
tive steers $8.25 to $9.40, Kansas
wintered steers $8.25 to $9.00,
cows $5/50 to $6.75, heifers $7.25
to $8.25, bulls $5.75 to $6.50,
Veal calves $8.00 te $10.25,
blockers $7. to $7.75, feeders
$7.25 to $8.00, a few fleshy feed-
ers at $8.25 to $9 00, quarantine
fed steers $7.50 to $8.75. quaran-
tine grass steers $5.50 to $7.25.
Hogs sold stroug te 5 higher,
order buyers pajing $7.55 for sev-
en! hundred hogs, and $7.60 for
one load, packers paying $7.25
to $9.50, with heavy hogs most-
ly around $7.30. Receipts were
5800 head, which included 1100
head sliippe by packers from
anotner River market to Kansas
City for slaughter. Lower pro-
visions last week caused declines
although there was some recov-
ery toward the last of the week.
Packers demand is mainly for
butcher hogs, suitable for fresh
pork trade, rough heavy hojfs
getting slow action at all times.
Order buyers took one fifth of
the supdly last week, generally

Can't Afford It.
The other day a merchant said
he couldn't afford to advertise
in his home newspaper. If the
man's views were hot distorted,
he would see that he couldn't af-
ford not to advertise. Refusing
to advertise is his most expen-
sive extravagance. That same
merchant will spend hours tel-
ling of the ' unlair" competion
of the mail ord r bouses who are
his most aggressive and danger*
ouscompetitors, yet the methods
employed by the mail ordei
houses which succeed are the
vary ones which the merchant
rt fuses to use. The mail ordei
house first of all is an ADVER-
TISER. Advertising is the life
of its business. Every magazine
that enters the small town and
rural home carries the ad of the
mail order house. Expensive
catalogs are printed showing the
illustrations of the actual arti-
cle*. Occasionally sheets are
scattered broadcast over the
country as a special "come-on"
for.the bargain hunter. Instead
of doing these things in a smal-
ler way through the columns of
his local paper, the merchant
who can't afford to advertise sits
down and "cusses" his tough
luck and wonders why he can't
get the business. He never
thinks he has a better opportun-
ity to reach the people in his
neighborhood than the mail or-
der house has. It doesn't cost
him as much as it does the out-
sider; he can draw the people to
his store and show them the act-
ual arcicle he is advertisidg, and
when they buy, they can take
their purchase home with them
instead of having to wait for
several weeks for it. Advertis-
ing is an investment. It should
be charged to your selling cost.
Figure what percentage you have
to pay to advertise, then base a
fifty-two weeks campaign on the
computation. You can't lose.
You can't afford NOT to adver-
tise!
