Iowa, NOV. 1o.-Ine cattle run at Inns
was looked for and from the opening Of
the market on Monday values ruled
lower all along the line. The fact that
Thanksgiving also came in this week
was naturally a bearish. factor in the
trade, as dealers were not eager to
hold cattle over that day with the pros
pect of a light trade for the balance Of
the week: On Monday, little over
5000 head Of cattle were received, and
altho the dealers were willing to buy
granted: The yearlings Of good quality
dime lower, while owing to. the big
run the common to just fair quality
cattle ranged from 15c to 25c lower
than the high time Of Wednesday of
last week. There was fairly good de-
mand from the country, and taking all
things into consideration, sellers found
sale for eyGeffhRR they had
the week. The dealers have had a good
trade and the movement Of cattle to
the country indicated and there are
very few cattle scattered thruout the
pens to be fed over Sunday. Prospects
for the coming week are for lighter
marketing of cattle, and should the
present favorable weather continue,
stronger values may be- expected. Good
yearlings this week sold at $3@3.30, but
1925 was paid for a choice load of grade
Galloways averaging 356 lbs. The most
at $2.40@2.85. There was a very light
marketing Of heavy feeders. The mS1t
Of the stockers of good quality, aver
aging 800 to 1000 lbs, sold at $3@3.40,
with the fairly good kinds at $4,000
2.S0. Common steers were hard sellers
at $2.25@2.50. The demand for stock
heifers was fairly good, and the limited
supply found q good outlet at prices
ranging from 81 80 to $2.25, which was
about dime lower than last week.
Quite a good order demand took care
Of the bull market, and feeding bulls
sold largely at $2.25@2.45.
The fat cattle trade. this week has
been somewhat unsatisfac to ship.
Eping interests The market opened up
with a weaker tendency which later in
Ethe week developed into l0@l5c low,
Ter market. The good cows and heifers
received the most of the decline, sell;
Cutters showed little change with last
| week Is prices, selling from $3.50. ia
$3.50. There was nothing marketed IN
the steer line worthy Of mention.
t Hogs-The heaviest marketing ! OF
lshogs SO far this fall was received tf;:
week and the total marketing at thas
point was close to $4,000. All markets
have seen considerably lower prices
and values at this point ruled 10000
flower than last weeks closing quota
tions. The packers have been eager
buyers and with a good shipping de
mand the trade has been active each
day. Armour & Co. will open up theil
i1fTeW plant with the slaughter of botl
hogs and cattle the coming week, which
will naturally create competition and
still further demand for stock at this
market. Prices the past week compare
favorably with any market in in tn
pers in Sioux City's territory toy go by
this point for any other in the country
