CATTLE SOLD
REDUCE PRICE
Declines Set in on the South
st. Paul Market During
The Past Week

So. st. Paul, Aug. 23.-(By the A.
PD-Generous increases in cattle re-
ceipts over a week ago resulted in
sharp downturns this week, prices
ruling from 25 to SO cents lower than
week ago on stockers and feeders
and 25 cents lower on grassy killing
stock, says the weekly review of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
Top feeders reached 1928 with con-
siderable number good quality
weighty feeders in load lots at $3.50
to $500, while common and medium
kind went at $4.25 to 1928, mostly.
Dryfed yearlings held up well in
line with outside advices top young
sters making $1O.25. Weighty steers
failed to pass $500 for fairly long
feds and stopped around $500 for
short-fed. Grass cows were very
slow, S4.25 and down, taking the bulk
of supply with heifers moving little
better, around $500 to $500. Can
ners are listed at $500 mainly. Old
shells as low as $3.50 with cutters
$2.75 and under. Bulls unchanged
1925 to $3.55, with heavy bulls $500.
Veal calves are having early annual
fall rise, being credited with another
$1.0O advance or around $l1.00 to
$l1.50 for best calves.
Hog producers had their inning
again this week, the market advanc
ing around 25 cents over last weeks
finish. Top hogs closed 1915 with
100 to 3OO-pound desirable offerings
selling from this price down to $3.50.
Packing sows and feeder pigs were
credited with the full advance, clos
ing $9.25 to $S.40 and mostly 1925
for pigs.
A two sided market was in evidence
in sheep, lambs advancing around rs
cents while sheep prices dropped
from SO to Is cents. On the closing
session, top lambs earned $l3.25
while bucky offerings were $1.O0 with
culls around $500 to $3.50. Handy

while heavy ewes were wanted at
around $500. Cattle receipts today
were 5000; hog receipts GOO; sheep
receipts 400.
