Sioux City Stock Yards, Sioux City,
Ia, Sept. II, p. m.-Supplies fell be-
low expectations and much short of a
week ago, making for two days not
over 1000 head, as compared with
6,905 the same time a week ago. Re-
ceipts included train of feeders and
mixed butcher range cattle from
Pierre and few loads of Black Hills
rangers, beside a considerable proper
ton of common to indifferent north
ern stocker stuff. The stale supply,
while not very heavy, included a good
many of this class, making too many
for trade. The market presented a
fairly active front on good to choice
cattle of all weights, but ruled slow
| and weak on common and Indifferent
lots of all classes. In the feder trade
| choice Canada feeders sold up to $3.50,
within nickel of where they sold ten
days ago, fair medium cattle sold at
S4.15 and good rangers at $4.20, with
fair rangers at $685. Inferior grades
OF stocker stuff ruled slow in most ev
cry instance, and sellers frequently re-
mon, off-colored light to medium
weight grades. In other directions
the market was much the same Good
calves sold readily enough at fully
steady prices, but the common calves
and common to fair yearling stuff
moved very slowly with weak feel
ing noted by most traders. AS rule
the market was lluoted steady to firm
on good stuff and strong to a little
higher on choice; barely steady to
weaker on all other classes. The
trade in she stock was moderately ac-
tive. Best offerings of butcher cows
and heifers sold on regular and order
account at fully steady prices. Best
sock heifers also had pretty good call
and sold steady to firm. Common to
medium grades of COWS and stock heif-
ers rather dull and hardly steady. The
supply of bulls was moderate. The
better grades sold with some freedom
at strong to a little better prices
Veals had good call ait steady figures
and other miscellaneous grades ruled
unchanged. Country demand was of
fair proportions, but buyers inclined
to good feeding grades, choice calves
or yearlings. Weather conditions a
little more favorable, being cool with
indications of showers.
