Sioux City
Although there is no authority
at hand believe this the second
city in size in Iowa. Anyway il
claims a population of $4,000 OF
more. 1t ranks third or fourth as
a live stock market and all the
larger meat packing concerns have
plants here.
Important Stock Market
Market reports for February 20
show receipts of hogs: 1880 COM
pared to 19,08S on the same date
a year ago; cattle 2,10O against
1872 a year ago. OF the 1880
hogs, 1925 were marketed in
trucks. The number stands as a
record for one days deliveries of
hogs at the Sioux City yards. On
the same day 1851 cattle, calves
and sheep were brought by truck.
The records do not show from
how great a distance this stock
was trucked but it is certainly
cutting into the rail business.
The total Sioux City receipts
January 18th to February 90 of
live stock was:
Cattle, 99,339; hogs, -466, 644;
sheep, 112,13S; horses, 2,725. Re-
ceipts of both cattle and hogs for
the same part of 1928 were con-
s~iderably larger. Hog prices Feb.
20 ranged from $3.50 to $1,000;
cattle, $1,000 to $11.25.
Distribution
This city is not only the farm
product market for a wide terri
tory extending deeply into Iowa,
Nebraska and South Dakota but is
the distributing center for a large
percentage of the merchandise of
many kinds consumed in that ter
ritory. Big jobbing houses and
distributing plants are numerous.
Manufacturing is also well repre-
scented.
Preliminary to the annual motor
show, l counted "a makes Of auto
mobiles and trucks listed in the
evening Tribune. The show opens
the 9th and | will sure have a
look at it, if still here. Eight
pages of the same 36-page edition
of the Tribune was printed on
corn stalk paper. 1t was a Corn
Stalk Edition. A clipping, giving
some facts, more interesting in
Iowa than in Montana, is being
sent the associate editor who may
find space for it in The Herald.
For some time yet Montana will
be able to turn it's corn stover into
meat and milk.
