Iowa, Nov. 5.-Receipts Of cattle this
week foot up 600 head, or $500 less
than were on sale last week. The |
lighter marketing has had a beneficial
effect on the stocker and feeder trade,
and with country demand sufficient
to take care of the marketing, values
have ruled generally, stronger. Dealers
bought literally each day, and at no
time was there the drag to the market
that characterized last week IS trading.
On Monday steady prices were real
lied and strength developed on the fol
lowing days, and in many cases on the
more desirable offerings the market
steers were in demand, and these and
the lighter weight stockers seemed to
take the preference over the feshy
feeders that have held sway for the
past month. The better class Of year
1ings sold at $2.60@3.25, few choice
as high as $3.50. The good feeders sold
this week at $3@3.35, while the larger
1000 pounds, sold at $2.50@3. Com
mon steers of all weights, as usual,
were the last to move to the scales
daily at prices ranging from 1925 to
$3.50. Stock heifers and feeding COWS
opened up the week, selling at strong
tations, but owing to a liberal market
ing, the demand was not sufficient to
take care of the supply, and there was
! decided weakness at the close of the
| week. Prices ranged from $3.50 to
1926. The dealers have managed to
make good cleanup this week, and
there are few cattle in the pens to be
tho coming week and the demand from
now on will likely be for the yearlings
and light stockers of good quality.
A large percentage of the receipts
have run to cows and :heifers fit for the
killers. The butcher stock market has
been in a fairly satisfactory condition.
The packers have been eager buyers,
$2.35@2.75, and the bulk Of the fair
cows and heifers at $2.15@2.30. Can
ners and cutters sold at $1.50@2.10
There has been nothing good received
in the steer line The few range steers
received sold at $2.50@3. The market
closes steady with the closing quota
tions Of last week. q
Hogs-Receipts were liberal this
) week and the heaviest so far this fall
keted. In sympathy with the break al
all points the market here dropped 15t
, on the first two days of the week, but
!; from that time reaction set in, anc
: values close the week, nearly steady
with the close of last. Sales ranged
, from $4.s0Sto. $5.05;5swith the bulk a.
$4.90@4,95. The packers are eager fo1
hogs at this point and are paying rela
: lively higher prices than other market
E to get them here. In the near futur'
Armour & Co. expect to start killing a
this point and will use more hogs thai
they are buying here. for slaughter a
their other houses. The Cudahy Pack
4 ing company is also demanding NOR
receipts and are paying strong price
J.. to get them here. .[
