Sioux City stockyards, Sioux City. Iowa, Oct
15.-The conditions regulating the stocker. and nd
feeder trade this week have not been at all
satisfactory to the shippers interests. Those
who were fortunate enough to market their cat
tie on Monday last received fully steady prices
with last week, and the dealers cleaned up
the yards on this basis. The demand from the
country very light, which had its effect
Oh Tuesdays market, and the trade was very
slow and generally lower. liberal marketing
of cattle in the middle Of the week also had
the tendency of lowering values, and there was
not sufficient outlet for the already heavy mar
keting. Conditions went rapidly from bad to
worse, and the market closed very dull and drag
ging and fully Zoe lower than the opening day
Of the week. The trade in the SPECTATORS di-
vision has been very unsatisfactory, and the few
buyers who have taken advantage of the sttua-
ton have bought their cattle at about their own
figures. There are still great many cattle
in the pens to be fed Sunday, and the
prospects are not encouraging for very brisk
trade the coming week There were cases IN
which the strictly good feeders sold late in the
week at $3.55 and $500 that We're not more
than dime lower than Monday, but the COM
mon kinds almost unstable at the de-
cline. The bulk of the 90O-lb to l. 1OO-lb steers
selling at $2.75@3.25 would have sold at $50
$50 On Monday. Yearlings ranged from $2.2s
to So and hefer stuff and young, feshy FEEDING
COWS sold from $3.50 to $3.50, and We're fully
25c lower than Mondays general market.
