Compared to last week: Feeder steers 3.00-4.00 higher.Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Demand very good forlight supplies of feeder cattle. Large weekly advances in thesale barns has made it difficult for those dealing in the coun-try to keep up with the markets. Some of the cheaper pricesreflect those sales made early in the trading period.Interest in calf trades for current deliveryis high but like all other classes of cattle numbers are notthere to fill these needs.

Most of the states wheat crop has been harvested and wasdone this year at the earliest ever. Results of this crop hasyet to be reported.

Feeder steers traded very early in thereporting period sold 1.00-2.00 higher.
