ST. LOUIS LIVE STOCK MARKET
Special Report

National Stock Yards, H., May Ia.
-Today's receipts: Cattle, $500;
hogs, 13,500; sheep, 1000.
Cattle-As result of weakness in
the steer trade today compared with
yesterday, the current market COM
pared with the corresponding day a
week ago is little, if any, different.
Stockers and feeders have been slow
sellers the past two days and current
prices are fully 25c lower than week
ago. Butcher cattle and Gamers
show a general price reduction of soc
over last week.
Quotations: Beef steers, $10.50 to
$1785; stockers and feeders, SO to
$$12.25; stock cows and heifers, $3.50
to $40; yearling butcher cattle, So to
$3.50; beef cows, $3.50 to $13; can
ners and cutters, S7.25 to SO; beef
bulls, S11.50 to $13; sausage bulls,
$3.50 to S11.50.
Hogs-Market opened slow and
generally steady with yesterdays av-
erage, with 16O to 210-pound hogs
bringing $17.65 to $3.50; 220 to 260
pounds, $17.30 to $17.60; extreme
heavies, SIT to $17.25; pigs, $40 to
$3.50, and roughs at SIG. The trade,
however, closed 10c to 15c lower than
the above prices, with the late top
around S17.65, compared with $17.75
week ago today. Light hogs still
continue to bring the top prices, and
it is apparent that many good weights
will be left unsold.
Sheep-Market breaking and aver
ages 25c to 40c lower than week
ago, with wool lambs at $3.50 to
s2O.25; clipped lambs, $14.75 to SIG;

serter from Fort Riley training camp
