Sioux City, Sept. 21.-Buyers had
their hammers working i'm nearly all
branches of the cattle trade this
morning. Receipts were on the fair
ly liberal order. some $500 head as
against 2,046 a week ago and 2.905
the corresponding day a year ago.
The right sorts of corn feds and
grass killers escaped punishment,
but as the bulk of the offerings were
of the medium quality types most
sales were quoted as a dime lower.
Conditions were worse i'm the
stocker and feeder trade. Dealers
have accumulated a big assortment
of cattle and with the country de
mand continuing narrow they made
a determined effort TO cheaper cost.
Fresh cut was put at 10 a 15c, round
ing out a quarter decline as com
pared with Monday on most classes
of steers. while she stuff is 10 a 15c
lower.
Hog prices were forced about 100
15c lower than yesterdays average.
High sale for choice light butchers
reached s10.S5, while the bulk of
sales were at a spread of 10000
10.45.
Lighter receipts around the mar
ket circuit caused a reaction in the
sheep and lamb trade and prices were
quoted as 10 a 15c higher than yes
terday.
