MADISON GRAIN MARKET.


Sioux City, April 1S.-Close to 100
loads of cattle were billed to this
point the opening day of the week
and estimates called for $500 head.
which was short of the 1920 here
the same day last week. and the 4.4S1
on offer the corresponding day a
year ago.
An active demand locally for the
moderate crop of killer cattle offset
bearish outside news and trade ruled
in a steady to strong tone.
The %undertone to stocker and
feeder trade was a little better and
the offerings were soon taken at
steady to strong rates.
Hogs were not numerous to slim
ulate buyers to much activity and
little business was done early with
bids about a dime under the close of
last week. Trade finally got under
way on a basis that was 5d10C
lower. Tops sold at 1855.
Hardly enough sheep were offered
to make a market. but the few sales
made indicated that a bearish senti-
ment was current on account of lower
prices at other centers.
