South st. Paul, Aug. "a, 1899.

CATTLE-There has been a general
decline in cattle prices this week, not
only at South st. Paul, but at all the
principal markets in the country. Com,
mon and medium grade stock cattle have
suffered most and medium grade butcher
cattle are also off quite q little. Our
receipts during the past week have been
very liberal, nearly 1900 more cattle than
were received during the same days last
year, and while selling has been a, little
slow at times, owing to reluctance on the
part Of the shippers to accept the lower
prices, our yards are fairly well cleaned
up tonight. We regard this as very ia
vorable for South ST. Paul, as the run
has been so unusually heavy. Nearly
all the Western stuff that was billed
through South ST Paul was stopped and
sold here, and at good prices.
Best grades of butcher cattle, both ma
tives and Westerns, are only shade low
er than last week, but the medium quail
ity stuff and especially COW stuff that
has been selling around IS to 1925. is. Is
to so cents lower. Feeders and stock
steers are selling 20 to 40 cents lower than
last week. Best stock heifers are only
about 10 cents lower. Steer calves are
in good demand and are only selling
shade lower than last week, although
10 to Is cents lower than on Monday
of this week. Mixers and springers are

HOGS-Our receipts have been very
liberal this week. Beginning with Mon
day there was scent drop following a
heavier break in Chicago. Tuesday the
run was fair, and as a rule the quality
was good. The bulk sold around $.65.
with a range Of $4.5O to $4.S5 On Wednes-
day receipts were again liberal, while
the market went off 5 to 10 cents, with
the bulk selling at SASS to $3.50 and a
top of $4.75. Today (Thursday) the
quality was not so good and prices were
10 cents lower, and in some cases, on
rough and common hogs, the decline may
be figured as greater. Rough stuff sold
fully 80 cents lower than at the best
time on Tuesday. Packers still claim
a loss of 81 to $3.50 on every hog pur-
chased, and as long as these conditions
remain we do not look for higher prices
Even with the low prices that have been
prevailing at South st. Paul during the
past two days our market is still in ad-
vance of any other in the West
SHEEP-Sheep and lambs have been
slow sale all week and prices on fat
sheep are 80 to so cents lower than last
week, while fat lambs are selling from
so cents to 81 lower. Stock sheep and
lambs have also suffered, but are not
more than 10 to 25 cents off.
