after which the consolation service
was read by the Bishop, and the Rev
j. $. Douglas delivered the consecra-
ton sermon. The Holy Commun-

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK

Fat cattle comprised the big share
Of the week 3 marketing and very few
stocker- cattle were received after
Tuesday. The fat cattle market has
shown a downward tendency at all,
points, but as the week advanced there
was decided reaction at this market
and whatever loss there was on good
grades Of steers and cow stuff which
early in the week ruled 10000 lower
than last, while recovering somewhat,
did not entirely make up the decline.
Steers comprised the big share Of the
weeks supply and the best sold at
$4.90@5.20 and the fair to good beeves
at $4.65@4.85. The light weight and
inferior grades at $4@4.5O. Good
butcher stock was in demand and sold
at $4@4.5O, with the fair to medium
cows and heifers at $3.50@3.90. Tho
packers have been good buyers and
took care Of the liberal marketing in
good shape. -~.--.-.
Stocker and feeder trade has been
very light, owing to the lack of sup
plies, but at the same time the market
ing has been only up to country de-
mand. While values have not shown
much change generally, wider range
has been drawn between the good and
common cattle. Yard traders had to
resort to peddling in order to create an
outlet to the country. a fairly good
cleanup has been made in the yards.
Only light run Of cattle Is looked for
the coming week.
Receipts Of hogs have been liberal
here and at outside points. For the
opening days Of the week values ad,
| vanced somewhat, but later there was
q break Of a nickel. Hog values are
$1.20 higher than last year at this time

Receipts Of cattle have been rather
limited this week, and the supply Of
beef was small. Good demand pre-:
vailed, and buyers were able to secure
but small part Of what they required.
AZ There was a st IT. q go9d steers at
hsfsrs Ss sed at s sz %th '9 ths b s1f
Of the good COWS at sa;25@s.75. Quite
proportion of the cattle were Of the
grass-fed kind.
Prices were about a dime lower for
the week, stuff here on Monday selling
steady and declines coming the two
following days. Butcher and bologna
bulls Is incl; inclined to weakness, the grass grass
rather irregular, some selling at 50
and $4.75, but top practically at $3.50.
The general calf market strong as COM
pared with last week.
While the stocker and feeder market
was quiet and lacking in. briskness
there were no further declines. Re
ceipts dropped off as a result Of lower
prices. but the demand DID not i'm
orally to holding values on q steady
| level.
The run was mostly Of a medium kind
there being scarcity Of good to choice
feeders or stockers. The medium stuff
| moved about the same as at the close OF
last week. Feeding cows were weak,
heifers about steady, bulls weak.
| The hog run has been Of moderate
size and the market was in good condi-
ton, strong demand prevailing at all
times. Prices again touched the high
points Of the season, and while there
were some declines the breaks were due
to outside influence. Quality was fair
to good, tho the general average for
| the week was not so good as recently
| owing to the fact that brood sows are
now moving in considerable numbers
These sows are selling at a discount
and shippers should handle them at q
safe margin. >
Receipts Of sheep have been increas
ing gradually during the month and
this week there was a fairly good sup.
ply. The market showed more activity
and healthy tone prevailed.
Demand was strong for sheep, and
sold mostly at $B.25@5.50, with big end
being at the latter figure. There were
some wethers at 1918. Quality Of
sheep was generally good.
Lambs were stronger towards the
close Of the week, quotations being
slightly advanced. Top lambs bought
