_Gluten feed._--No further reductions in the price of gluten feed were
reported during the week, but the demand was very dull and very little
interest was shown by buyers. Large Chicago manufacturers reported a
slight increase in buying orders toward the last of the week. Buffalo
reported a light demand, but mills are not pressing sales as they were a
few days ago.
_Hominy feed._--Lower corn prices were reflected in the hominy feed
market. Prices declined 50¢ to $1 in several markets and mills were
urgent sellers. The demand for all other feeds is very light so that a
surplus in the offerings, especially of yellow hominy feed, is
noticeable.
_Alfalfa meal._--Alfalfa meal at Kansas City was weak and lower, No. 1
meal being offered as low as $17.20 per ton and No. 2 at $14. The demand
from both feeders and feed manufacturers is light. But little
improvement in the market for this feed can be expected until some
activity appears in the demand for other feeds.
_Peanut meal._--No offerings of new crop peanut meal have been reported,
and it is stated that probably none will be offered until about Nov.
