South Omaha, Sept. 2-This week
opens up with very fair run of cat.
tie, there being 2S9 loads reported in.
There were scarcely any corn fed
cattle in the yards and as the supply
OF western range steers was also very
small the undertone to the market
was somewhat stronger than it was
the latter part of last week. While
there is keen demand for the strict
ly choice to prime beeves, the inquiry
is not at all urgent for the short fed
and only partly fatted grades that
, come in competition with the western
rangers and they are rather uncer-
tain and unsatisfactory sellers as the
eastern beef and cattle markets are
still more or less demoralized
Choice to prime beeves, 1925 to
1925; good to choice beeves, 1925 to
900; fair to good beeves, $3.50 to
500: common to fair beeves, $500 to
1925.
More life and a rather better tone
characterized the market for COWS
and neifers and most useful offerings
sold shade stronger than they did
toward the close of last week and con-
siderably better than week ago.
Veal calves were in very active de-
mand and quotably strong and there
was good firm market for bulls,
stays, etc.
Good to choice heifers, 1925 to
6.75; good to choice COWS, S5.25 to
600; fair to good grades, S4.25 to
5.25: Gamers and cutters, $500 to
400; veal calves. $3.50 to $50; bulls,
stays, etc., $500 to $50.
Fresh receipts of stockers and
feeders this morning We're compare
lively limited, and this fact seemed to
put little life and strength into the
trade, as yard traders were compelled
to carry over quite supply from last
week. At all events, spectators We're
willing to pay pretty close to steady
prices for desirable feshy steers and
paid somewhat stronger figures for
the good light and medium weight
grades. Yard traders were hit hard
last week with their heavier cattle and
while there was little more life to
the market than there was toward the
close of last week values were in pref
tv much the same notches, or all of
half dollar lower than week ago.
Prices for stock COWS and heifers
showed up steady to strong as CON-
pared with the close of last week.
Choice to prime feeders, $6.75 to
$50; good to choice feeders, $500 to
1878; fair to good feeders, $5.25 to
SIS: common to fair feeders, $3.50 to
500: stock cows and heifers, $425 tc
$50.
Only about thirty-fve loads of hogs
showed up today and the greater part
OF the small supply was picked up
early by shippers and spectators at
prices mostly steady to strong. and
in some cases sc higher than Satur-
days market. Practically everything
Several loads of good light hogs were
bought by shippers at $3.50 and the
bulk ranged from $500 to $S.4O.
The receipts of sheep and lambs
amounted to about 80 loads and while
the bulk was little late in getting in.
pretty much everything was yarded
at an early hour. AS the offerings
were rather limited at other markets
and early advices indicated stronger
prices, there seemed to be bullish
feeling on the part of sellers. Once
business got under way it was not
very long before the bulk of the hold
ings was taken out of first hands. AS
really good lambs were rather scarce,
what were here sold generally steady
and in some cases strong when COM
pared with the choice of last week.
Prices paid for sheep were generally
steady.
Lambs, good to choice, $3.50 to
6.75; lambs, fair to good, 1925 to
$50: lambs, feeders, $500 to GAO;
