SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

The cattle supply. has been moderate
this week, considerable part Of the
stuff sold here being from the western
ranges. There was good demand for
killing cattle, and the market was &C
tive when the supply was Of any size.
Towards the close Of the week the runs
were small, and the maraket quiet on
that account. Quality was generally
fair to good. There was a scarcity Of
granted stuff.
Best range beef was quoted up to SIS,
the best price since 1902. Good grass
steers sold around $3.50, and fair
around $425. Good grassy COWS sold
around 1926 to $3.50, with fair COWS
and heifers at $3.50 to So. Prices were
steady the first days, but with declines
in the east there was a break Of dime
on Friday. Veal calves steady; bulls
slow. Packers were practically out Of
the market on Friday.
The stocker and feeder market was
active and the trade in good shape.
The run was Of fairly good size the
first days, but after Wednesday there
was rather small showing. Demand
was good, yard dealers doing a large
part Of the buying.
Prices for the week show come i'm
provement, the market Of Monday,
which became the basis for the week 8
trading, being stronger than in the pre-,
ceeding week., There was better stuff
in the yards than for some time, and
sales at 81, to 1870. This was very
good stuff, the bulk Of the feeders sell
ing around 1925 to $3.50. There was
little decline on the common stuff on
Thursday but this was regained on
Friday.
The sheep market has been active,
and the tone very satisfactory. The
runs were Of good size, and statesmen
had no trouble infnding an outlet for
offerings. Qauilty was generally good.
Quite share Of the stuff coming in
consisted of feeders, which sold well.
The sheep market was mostly steady
the first days, but toward the close of
| the week all kinds Of stuff gained
strength. On Friday quotations for
best ewes were advanced to $4.85, and
for the best wethers to SIS. Best year
| lings were quoted at 49,, instead of
1915 as formerly. :~.. .>..'.

| was a. break of nearly 25c, but Friday
sold at $3.50, good lambs at $6.75 to
$7.25. =
Hog receipts continued light, =. tho
toward the close of the week there
was slight increase in the movement.
The market had good tone, and
while there were declines in the latter
days they were in sympathy with the
action of eastern markets. After con
tinuously advancing for over week
there was a reaction on Wednesday
and Thursday and Friday added more
to the decline Of the week. Quality
has been better than recently.
