, FORT WORTH—As the season
progresses it is becoming more
and more evident that the ideas of
Corn Belt feeders and the opin-
ions of Southwestern cattle pro-
ducers as to the prices of Stock-
ers and feeders this year are al-
most poles apart.
Theories of slaughter buyers as
to what grass cattle and slaugh-
ter calves should bring and the
opinions of the people who own
the cattle and calves, are equally
far apart.
The immediate result of these
differences of opinion is small-
er than seasonal numbers of cat-
tle and calves moving to market
during July And on the opening
session for August. The long
range results appear to be that
the numbers of cattle and calves
marketed late in the year and
early next year will be larger than
usual if the present trend in the
Southwest continues.
Many areas in the Midwest and
In the Central and South Atlantic
States Into which large numbers
of Southwestern Stockers and
feeders go each year are current-
ly in varying degrees of drouth.
This serves to dull their desire
to buy Stockers .and feeders since
the grain and forage crops are in
jeopardy.
Currently there are 20 to 40
counties of Texas in more or less
critical drouth conditions, and
many of the sections that a year
ago were in hard shape are this
year doing very'well despite some
suffering from high temperatures.
One old-timer sized it up this
way: “Looks like the folks with
cattle to sell think they will be
higher, and tfyMe with cattle to
buy look fat $hem to be lower.
That’s what makes trade, these
differences 0$ opinion and the ev-
entual arrival at prices.”
Brings to a ’avorlte ex-
pression ^pf/W old-time grain
market speculator. He said: “The
market is rtefer wrong. Some-
times people trying to figure the
market are wrong.”
