Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Nebraska, November 14, 1916. The
week opened with a fair run of cattle
_ for a Monday, some 273 loads, about
9 7,200 head being reported in. Receipts
Included a very good percentage of
corn fed stock, but the ripe well fat
ted stock was rather scarce. Dressed
beef men all wanted cattle, and as the
offerings were limited they paid
steady figures to get them. In fact,
the good to choice beeves selling
around $9.70010.25 looked a little
stronger. The fair to good 1,100 to
1,300-pound beeves selling around
$8.75@9.50 were largely quoted as
steady, and the trade was somewhat
slow and irregular on the warmed up
and only partly fatted steers. Be
tween twenty-five and thirty cars of
cows and heifers showed up Monday.
Quotations on cattle: Good to
choice yearlings, $10.00011.10; good
to choice beeves, $9.75010.50; fair to
good beeves, $8.50 0 9.75; common to
fair beeves, $6.5008.25: good to
choice heifers, $6.50 0 7.25; good to
choice cows, $6.5007.00; fair to good
cows, $5.7506.50: canners and cut
ters, $4.2505.50: veal calves. $8 000
1000; bologna bulls, $5.00 0 5.50; beef
bulls. $5.50 06.50.
Estimates placed the hog run at
112 cars or 7,900 head, it being a lit
tle larger than for any Monday in a
long time. The market opened fairly
active, and around 5c lower than at
the close of last week. The shipping
and packers’ orders were filled at a
nickel reduction.
A small run of sheep and lamb3
showed up for Monday, only about
fifty-five cars, or 13,200 head being re
ported in. Supplies of lambs were
hardly up to packing requirements,
and movement started early at good
steady prices. Bulk of the good
lambs sold upwards from $11.40, with
i several loads as high as $11.60, the
new fall record established at the close
of last week. Fat sheep were scarce,
and like the lambs, moved early.
Prices were strong and looked some
what higher. Some of the best ewes
brought $7.5007.60, the latter price
being a record breaker for the season
and for this time of the year.

was right and sure enough it was.
