SEVEN MARTS FULL
Cattle Pile In at All Points This
Week With Record Day at
South st. Paul.
Prices Naturally Suffer Hogs in
Marrow Range Lambs
Turn Easier.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 3.-Cattle receipts
here this week total about II $50, compared with
1893 last week and 1,491 the same week last
year Calf receipts this week total about S75,
against s97 last week and ss4 the same week
last st year: With record-breaking supply of
$3.50 cattle here on Monday, and record sup
ply of nearly A, 800 in Chicago on the same day.
prices on all grades of cattle very naturally de-
cined sharply. Receipts at the large centers
large markets will foot up among the heaviest
on record. Beef and butcher cattle are closing
steady at decline of fully Csc on butcher cows,
and loss Of 25c to 3oc all grades of killing
steers, with the exception Of choice corn fed
kinds, none Of which have been received here.
Gamer cows have not shown much loss as have
the butcher grades but are from 10c to 15c
lower than Week ago. Western range cattle
have shown fully az much decline as have natives
and the market on these kinds at Chicago has
been in demoralized condition The heavy runs
and the sharp declines this week will it is
expected, check receipts next week, in which
case there Is likely to be some reaction in the
calves steady with the close of last week The
strictly good mich COWS and forward sprtnpers
have sold steady, but the common and medium
KINDS have been drug on the market, and the
worst grades are selling only for what they will
bring as Gamers Stock and feeding cattle de-
clined along with everything else, and now show
loss OF from ZOc to 35c from last weeks clos
ing prices. In this Decline common to pretty
good native stockers have probably shared the
most altho the market has been very uneven
and some good feeders sold late in the week at
as much decline as did the lighter grades With
future prospects very favorable for good dry fed
peel CATTLE 1t would seem that feeders at present
prices are certainly worth the money Stock
he1fers are nat quarter lower than a week
ago, and feeding bulls down 10c to 15c.
,-aogs-ihere were about 5000 hogs received
here this week, compared with 1889 last week
and 6,s11 the same week last year. While The
tendency In prices on good light, light mixed and
butcher hogs has been upward, heavy packing
grades have been Disseminated against and the
latter kinds will close the week on a 15c lower
Oasis than last Saturday, providing material
changes occur to-day. The light and smooth
mixed hogs are selling steady to a little higher
values. : - w. ~ oe
