iHE tremendous growth of the
livestock business in the<Nofthwest
is indicated with special emphasis
in official figures of the St. Paul
Union Stockyards Company, just
compiled by President William
Magivny, showing that three differ
ent records for receipts we're smash,
ed in January, during which month.
the big South Saint Paul market
led all other markets in increases
in hog receipts. On January 8,
South St. Paul broke all it's previous
records for the days receipt of hogs,
1859 being received. making the
day the largest IN the history of
the market. The largest previous
record was lO,2O8 on December IA,
1907. For the week ending January
18. new weeks record of 43,O47 was
established, breaking the record
established during the first week of
1904 of 37,35l. January receipts of
hogs were 176,647, an increase of
nearly 95 per cent over the same
month year ago, and tremend.
Gus advance over the former
months high record of 12O397, es-
tablished in January, 1904. An es.
pecially important feature of the
new records is that the principal
mart Of tho troroaudo,,s ;rcrooaoo
shown came from Minnesota, North
and South Dakota show very i'm.
portant increases in shipments.
Throughout the United States the
markets all show an increase in hog
receipts, but none equal the records
made at South St. Paul, on the basis
of comparative percentages of in.
crease. The figures show that
many hogs are being put on the
market on account of shortage of
feed, but are also substantial
proof of the growing recognition of
the active market at South St. Panl.
Market prices at the big stockyards
have been maintained at high
level during the month aud the
heavy receipts have been very
profitable to the shippers of the
stock. Cattle and sheep show a
slight decrease for the month, a
condition which applies to all the
market.
