MADISON GRAIN MARKET.


Sioux City, May 3.-Receipts of
cattle were estimated at 1900 show
ing a sharp decrease as compared
with both a week ago and the CORE
spending day a year ago. Trade in
most respects in the fat cattle diyi-
sion duplicated that of yesterday.
and for the most part the trading
basis was steady. The deal did not
develop an overly amount of activity
but as supplies were moderate sellers
were able by peddling TO make a
complete clearance. Feature Of the
trade was the sale of yearlings at
$3.50, which stands as the top price
for the year on this class of cattle.
No trouble was experienced by
sellers in moving the limited supply
Of stockers and feeders at steady
prices.
Bearishness continued in the hog
division. Receipts were liberal at
all leading market centers. Locally
the decline figured mostly a nickel
although there were instances where
the break amount to as much as a
dime. Tops reached $3.50. while the
bulk of sales were at a spread of
s9.45 $50.
Sheep supply today was made up
mostly of stuff billed direct TO pack
ers and the few odds and ends on
sale found a prompt disposal at rates
judged to be steady with the pre-
vious day.
