SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK

Receipts of cattle were cut down
consid erably on the opening day Of
the week, resulting in a sharp advance
in values on all grades. The market
last Monday ruled 10@15c higher ON
fat cattle and stookers, and later there
were spots in the trade. that were 25c
higher on the most desirable feeders.
With more liberal marketing in the
middle Of the week, the market on
Wednesday lost the earlier advance and
there was no noticeable change as the
week came to close.
More liberal marketing of stocker
cattle caused the inferior and common
cattle to show some weakness and
there were no extremely high sales made,
Country demand has been fully able
to take. care Of the. lighter receipts
and the week closes with good clear
ance out Of the spectators division.
Liberal, marketing Of cattle is looked
for the coming week.
The storm cut down the hog move
ment, and receipts are 5000 head less
than last week. On Monday and Tues
days values advanced 15c, and altho
there was weakening later, closing
quotations are about Sc higher. Hogs
sold from So to $500, with the bulk at
$6.O5@6.10. At the present time hogs
are selling $1.35 higher than last year
and prices are the highest since May
Of 1903.
Only few loads Of sheep were re-
ceived at this point for the week. The
supply has not been sufficient for even
local slaughter and packers have been
forced to get sheep in from other
points.

CattleA big cut in receipts the
past week has set the cattle trade
Alright. Feeble tone noted week ago
has been eliminated and in it's place has
been rather keen demand on most
marketing days. Marketing has totaled
close to $1,000 smaller than a week
ago, and the total receipts this week
while comparing with a run Of 61,519
here last week and 1886 a year ago.
Under marketing Of this moderate vol
ume the general trade has been good
and barring weak spots late on Tuesday
and Wednesday selling has been quite
satisfactory. Closing prices for good
medium to goo fat steers show range
largely Is and Is cents higher than
week ago, while the common, to fair
some showing 10 cents advance.
Fat heavy steers sold to best advan-
tage all week, exporters and shippers
showing these good favor. Absence Of
big supplies of medium grade killers
and shipping steers, however, has bar
red any very dull tone to the trade for
these classes.
General feeling in trade tends toward
a stronger demand and higher prices in
the near future.

All classes Of buyers were good buy
ers Monday and Tuesday, but after the

THE HILL ORE DEAL

James ]. Hill will be back in New
ne S the final announcements in the
ore deal will be made before he again

sources is bullish, altho there is nothing
official to base it on. It is pretty GER
tain that the deal will go thru as orig
inally announced or with only slight
modification and the effect upon the
Hill stocks is too obvious to be pointed
out. It will be a very bullish deal, yet
whether or not the stocks will again
rise to new high points is quite open to
question. At least it is doubtful if they
will go up at once. II, as many think,
the stock market is yet to have its
greatest advance, sometime later on,
that in the general rise the Hill issues
will undoubtedly lead off.

the recent slump in the Steel issues is to
be found in the fact that the stock was

the corporation are imperiled by pro-
jected issue Of bonds for big open

the face Of cogent arguments to the
contrary. Instead of diminishing the

to make tie batter nervous. They both
had a .balk motion guaranteed to draw
runners away from first, and each
had a deceptive motion in pitching
that kept the batter in doubt as TO
whether the ball was slow or fast until
it was upon him.
Grif, always cool and calculating,
caught more runners on bases with less
help from his basemen than any other
pitcher He would work Il nervous

would snap the ball suddenly to the

pitcher. He had the art of wasting a

speed, Tony's greatest success was in
