SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET


Sioux City, April 2.--The opening
day Of this week did not bring as
large a supply Of cattle to the local
market as was generally expected.
The fact that prices mounted higher
with receipts on the liberal order all
last week has evidently created a
buIlish feeling among cattle feeders
and as a result they are doing their
spring work first before shipping ex
tensively. Run at hand today was
estimated at $500 or 1900 less than
arrived a week ago, and 1900 short
of the corresponding day a year ago.
Market was active in all branches
and changes in the way OF better
ment.
Hog supplies also showed a decid-
ed falling off and the local market
while a little sluggish in getting
started developed a degree OF
strength. general clearance being
quoted as 10025c higher. Tops
reached $17.10, while the bulk OF
sales ranged from $16.50@17.0O.
Sheep receipts today were hardly
large enough to give a basis for
trade, and for the most part the few
transactions yer quoted as strong
with the bestt ime last week. Big
end Of the days receipts were feed
ing grades billed through.
