Sioux City Stock Yards Sioux City, Iowa,
Sept. 2-Receipts were only fairly liberal this
1000 head. Supplies have been more evenly
distributed each day. which resulted in a great
measure in prices being well maintained and
right up with the advance of last Wednesday.
Fat cattle comprised liberal share OF the
weeks marketing, and all grades showed an
advance. Dry fed cattle have been scarce ana
close the week about Zoe higher; while other
grades are 15@20c higher than last weeks low
time The packers have been eager buyers,
and have taken care of each days receipts IN
good shape Dry fed beeves sold from 81 so to
SIS. 25 and the range beeves from So 80 to $500.
Dry fed butcher stock sold from 50 to 81 and
ed by the packers, and prices paid this week
have been right in line with other points
The condition Of the stocker and feeder mar
ket has been also satisfactory, and, with an
increased demand, an impetus has been given
to the trade. Feeders of desirable weight have
been in demand and values ruled 10@15c high
er on steers averaging 900 to 1000 pounds, sell
ing at $3.50 to So. s5. The 700 and 900 steers
ranged from $2.75 to $40, and were bought up
| readily at good strong figure with last weeks
best time. The yearlings and inferior grade OF
stockers were the hardest cattle to move, but
| the light marketing was handled on basis Of
steady with last week. with sales So. 50@3.25.
Stock heifers were in limited supply, showing no
change with last week, with sales at $2@2.50.
| The yard traders have not had sufficient cattle
| at their disposal in the feeder line and orders
are untitled good active trade is looked for
|
| dealers will be eager buyers for receipts the
| coming week.
| Hogs-The weeks trade has been disastrous to
| the shippers, and the packers have taken adj
| vantage Of fair run Of hogs at all points
and light shipping demand to break values.
The market here closes the week with hogs
selling from $5.40 to $50 and the bulk Of
the sales at $3.50 to $500, which is close to 25c
blower than last weeks close. The most Of this
decline has taken effect since Wednesday. The
packers very bearish in the hog situation,
and still further decline can be expected.
