memphis PRICES
ABOVE ST. LOUIS
Net Price at Local Stockyard
Beats Up-oourtry Price by
Satisfactory Margin.

Prices secured for hogs and cattle at
the opening Of the Memphis Stockyards,
Inc, Monday compare favorably with
prices for similar stock on the st. Louis
market and relatively were much better
for southern shippers. Two hundred
and thirteen pound hogs brought In
cents a pound, the top hog price for the
daS, while the st. Louis top price was
1874 cents. One hundred and fifty
pound hogs brought l64 cents a pound,
and ll0 pound hogs IL cents a pound.
As to cattle, native steers and heiferS
brought as high as 10 cents the pound,
which was about on a par with the St,
Louis payments. Gamers brought 1 to
"A cents a pound, while s~tockers, cows
and heifers brought I cents a pound.
The county agents and other live
stock mon from the tri-state territory
who brought cattle and hogs TO the
opening days sale were delighted with
the prices obtained. They will net much
more thar If the stock had been shipped
to the st. Louis market, as there was a
great savings in ~shrinkage, feed n
freight. AS for instance, in the case of
the st. Louis top price on hogs amount
ing to 81 more per hundred than the
Memphis prices, the Memphis saving In
s~hrinkage alone on the hundred pounds
would wipe out this difference, leaving
the saving in feed and freight pure
gain.
The sale Of cattle and hogs continued
Tuesday at the yards in Leawood. The
traders and o%nlookers did not make
quite so large a crowd as Monday, but
enough were on the ground to make the
situation lively and interesting.
