Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-10-28
Total receipts .... II 8.
The disposition of the days receipts was
as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-



Of anything like a cattle market today,
there being cattle here OF consequence
and practically nothing doing in the yards
The total receipts this week show a fall
ing on of almost one-half, due almost en-
tirely to the heavy storms in the west
which not only delayed the arrival of such
stock trains as were in transit, but pre-
vented the loading of many hundreds of
cattle ready for shipment. While 1t is
impossible 10 speak with certainty, much
larger receipts are anticipated for the COM
ing week.
The market on beef cattle has been in
very satisfactory condition as viewed from
sellers standpoint all this week. The
receipts being light in the face of a very
maintained throughout the week. While no
very marked advance has been made in
the market as prices were high in the
place has been in the way Of Improvement
Good corn-ted steers have sold up to Sc .
and rangers as high as s5.26.
The most marked change OF the week has
taken place In the COW market. The re-
ceipts of last week were the heaviest OF
the year, with the result that prices de-
clined rapidly, the market al the close of
the week being quoted 1Odl5c lower. With
the heavy falling on in receipts this week
steadily firmed up until at the close OF
the present week the market is 25GR4Oc
higher than the low point last week. The
trade on both cows and heifers was active
practically every day of the week the
market as a whole being in a good, healthy
e con- tS h, some very good western cows
While tine Indictment weather prevailing
during the first half of the week would
have a natural tendency to keep country
buyers at home, there was nevertheless a
very fair demand for stockers ana feeders
throughout the week. The demand was
80 good for the better grades that prices
were strong every day and are al the
present time a little higher N ANYTHING
than one week ago. 1t viii be remembered,
though, that prices week ago were high
and that no further advance was neces-
hsary, at least not according to buyers
Ideas. Even the fair TO medium kinds
have sold very well and at the close OF
the week the yards are practically cleaned
