the Market-Many Texas Cattle
Pass Thru Headed for Dakota and
Canadian Points.
Sioux City Stock Yards July 49,
Receipts of cattle this week foot up close
to 1000 head and out of this number only
$500 were actually offered for sale. The
balance of the supply were southern cattle
loaded at points in Texas In course Of
transit to the ranges of the Dakotas and
Canadian points. The strike Of employees
in the packinghouses of the various mar
ket centers has been the only item of any
special interest in the weeks trade. The
market on stockers was not affected with
the exception Of lighter marketing, and
values were very little changed with last
weeks average market. There has been
a good demand for the heavier weight
stockers and feeders At for the feed lot
and on these prices have been strong,
selling as high at 1855 for a load Of LOO
pound steers of fairly good quality with
the larger share Of the offerings at $3.25
to $3.50. The light stockers and yearling
steers have sold at a wider range and
quality In many cases was sacrificed for
weight. The light steers sold mostly at
So to $780, with the common kinds of all
weights selling as low as 1925 and $3.50.
The heifer market has shown no change,
Dul tne demand mas Deen more LOT spring
ers, and cows with calves at side, selling
largely at $2.25 to $780, The dealers have
made a good clearance this week and
| there Is every reason to believe that with
the number of orders for heavy steers OH
hand, satisfactory prices will be in order
the coming week on these kinds.
The fat cattle market has been ham
pered on account Of the strike and prac
tically nothing was received for sale af-
ter Tuesday. The market on the first
two days broke 1Oc to 25c, with the bulk
Of the decline coming Tuesday, when the
packers were cleaning up the supply for
their killing on that day. On Thursday the
Cudahy Packing company again were on
the market for a moderate supply Of cat
tie and bought up the available offerings
on that day and for the balance Of the
| week at about steady prices with the de-
cline. There was nothing in steers good
enough to sell over $3.50 The bulk Of
the cows marketed were Of fair quality,
selling from So to $3.50, with Gamers and
thin COWS at $3.50 to $2.75. The packers
intend to buy on the market from now on
Hogs-Only $500 hogs were received
this week. which was the lightest for
many years. On the first two days Of the
week 1850 hogs We're received. On Mon
day the market ruled a nickel lower, but
Tuesday the packers laid down on ac-
count Of the strike and the shippers
bought up the supply at prices ranging
from $3.50 to IS, or zoe lower than Mon
day, and a quarter lower than the close
Of last week. Less than 500 hogs were
received Wednesday and shippers bought
| them up at prices steady with the de-
cline. Thursdays market advanced 15c,
owing to a good shipping demand, and
prices close with practically the decline
1 of the week regained. On Friday the Cud.
ahy Packing company again resumed
buying operations and with good de-
mand from the shippers the more liberal
arrivals were taken care Of in good shape,
selling mostly at IS to $5.10
