South st. Haulp MIMI, Ocr. 1O.-R0ce1ptS OF |
livestock at South st. Paul for the first five
days this week total 49, 46 cattle, sos calves, !
49, 4O hogs and 34,661 sheep, against 10, 17s !
cattle, 800 calves, 12,e11 hogs and 51,14o sheep
last week and 1888 cattle, ee1 calves, 10, se1
hogs and G3,546 sheep the corresponding week |
last year.
With the receipts of cattle here this week |
about 5000 short Of the record-breaking run last
week, the market has had a good tone all !

changed in value. OF the weeks receipts about
S40O head were western rangers. Quality ruled
poor There was marked scarcity of good
grades and absence of choice beeves. While
Chicago prices on common range stuff are quoted
the lowest of the season, and decline Of fully
15c to 25c is noted there on all top grades the
local market has held about steady. Demand
has been strong for good beef and butcher grades
and good feeder demand has helped hold up
prices on the latter and common killers that
were suitable for feeders The demand for
stock and feeding cattle has been of larger
volume than for some time and with a consider
able decrease in receipts the market has strength
ened on everything but the trashy stuff. Some
of best feeders and yearling stockers have sold
at advance of 1Oc to 15c over last week. The
common kinds continue low and it looks as if
prices on such stuff are down far enough to at
tract more favorable attention. It is believed
that there will be a good demand for feeding
steers that can be turned over quickly during the
next few weeks. Stock heifers have sold steady
to 1Oc higher than last week.
Hogs-The hog market received one of the
hardest jolts this week it has had in the same
length OF time for years. The decline has been
expected, but few traders anticipated so sharp
| slump at this time. Prices are from SOC to
6Oc lower than last Saturday, and still on the
down grade. The hog market is still high,
relative to hog products and other stock, and it,
begins to look like $3.50 hogs a few weeks
hence. The bulk Friday sold from $5.1o to S5.15
with top of $685.. Light hogs suffered most in
| the decline, and choice butcher hogs, weighing
around 2lo to 24o lbs, are now bringing the
down to s475. = 80 '0 SIZZLING
sheep-Recepts this week have consisted very
largely of western feeders. = The demand for de-
sirabl killing sheep has been good, and altho
prices weakened early in the week they are now
about steady with week ago. Lambs are sell
Ing from 1oc to 15c higher than last week. Good
lambs are quotable from $500 to, $4.s5; fair to
good from 1925 to- 81. 5O;> good to choice fat
