A somewhat firmer cattle market
this week. Transactions were limited,
due to the light liquidation. Prime
heavy steers went to the killers at
$7.75@7.S5; uulk, $7.3O@7.60. Butcher
stock was also stronger, but true
line on market stability is difficult to
obtain so long as receipts are small.
Demand for good COWS and heifers is
| -, dc Of col af
$6.S5 and heifers in small lots 81 to
1925. Calves have not been market
factor for two weeks, although prices
are steady to strong. Generally, the
entire cattle market had an improved
tone, but only for choice stock. Size
of next weeks receipts will determine
stability of price range.
The hog market continued its as
cent this week and reached the high
est point Wednesday, when several
hundred head of choice light swine
realized 1925. Bulk of sales averaged
50 to $0.15, while smooth and rough
stuff brought proportionately stiff
prices. Market eased off shade
Thursday, but closes the week steady
from 50 to $9.15. Upward trend may
be checked temporarily, but nobody
ventures a prediction as to where it
will finally settle.
