MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, May 1S.-Today's cat
tie supply both here and elsewhere
was somewhat larger than usual and
as a result there was a lower trend
to prices on fat cattle all along the
line. Locally the run was estimated
at 1900, as against 1.025 a week
ago and 1886 the corresponding
time a year ago.
A big assortment of beef steers
and fed yearlings put in appearance
and the general price list on such
classes of killers showed a cut of 10
@15c, while she stock was on a
weak to loo lower footing with the
previous day.
Only a very scant showing of
stockers and feeders was included
and the outlet provided was o rad
ically different from that of yester-
day.
Hog receipts showed expansion all
around the market circle this morn
ing and the market showed a lower
trend as a result. Bulk of the sales
for the day were rated as a dime
lower and there were exceptions
where the decline figured as much
as Is cents. Tops landed at $3.50,
while the bulk Of the sales ranged
from s9.40@9.55.
Generally steady prices were quo
ted in the sheep house. Supplies
were somewhat larger than have
been coming, but everything receiv-
ed prompt clearance.
