Sioux City Stock Yards, Sioux City,
Ia, Aug. ), l p. m.-Iodays market
ing was restored more nearly to the
late averages and did somewhat to-
wards maxim. up for yesterday
shortage, the ,wo days run footing
about 1,15O, compa.'ed with l,2o' the
same time Week ago. No strictly
choice cattle We're included in the OF
ferings and the bulk of the supply
ran common to fair, light to medium
weight stocker stuff. A fair volume OF
business was carried out during the
forenoon but it was only on particular
grades of stuff that sellers could start
any movement which made the market
little hard to gauge at some stages.
Sellers reported fair inquiry for good
heavy feeders, weighing around 1000
pounds. OF these few were offered.
Fair to good light cattle and good me-
dunn weight grades We're moved to
some eXtenct but prices usually were
quoted about dime lower than the
close of the week, though buyers in
some instances would hardly quote
or admit a decline. The inferior and
stocker stuff which have been so bad
ly neglected for several days were no
better today and in most cases sell
ers could not get a bid, when they did
they were fetting go, and the market
on this class of stuff was accordingly
stagnant. Common to pretty fair
yearlings sold at So 50@4.oo, with fair
to good calves at $4.O0(d+.4O and pretty
decent slaughter stuff mostly around
$3.75. Dealers expect that the poor to
fair grades of medium weight stock
ers will rule more or less neglected
from now On until stock fields are
ready for them. Good to choice light
weight stuff and the little pee-wee
calves will, they think, have pretty fair
call but outside of that, look for heavy
stuff to lead in demand. a few coun-
try buyers were present today but
they were seemingly Indifferent and
only got in when prices and the cattle
were what they thought right. a fair
proportion of stock heifers and mixed
thin COW stuff arrived. Demand was
about equal to yesterday and most OF
the offerings sold readily though sell
ers thought values a little weaker eX
cept on the best. Heiters and mixed
lots sold at S2.SO02.9O, with few heif-
er calves at more money. All grades
of bulls, except extreme common,
had good demand and sold fully seta-
dy. Several orders for different
grades We're scarce and unchanged.
