Live Stock and Meats
HEAVY RECEIPTS FEATURE WEEK’S LIVE STOCK BUSINESS.
Trend of Cattle Prices Decidedly Irregular—Hog Market Has Fairly Healthy Tone.
(Chicago, East St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, and St. Paul.)
Receipts of live stock during the closing week of September were of generous volume despite the fact that conditions in some departments of the trade during the preceding week bordered on demoralization. An increased proportion of trashy, light-weight cattle indicated that producers were anxious to liquidate surplus holdings before stormy weather sets in, while a corresponding decrease in receipts of corn-feds suggested a decreased number of well-conditioned beef cattle in feeders’ hands.
