1 HogsGrindGrain ‘ Saveg Always Markets Grain Sanitary OUR NEW « ELEVATOR Is Now in Operation HOGS BREAK RECORD All records for hog prices at South St. Paul in 30 years were broken last week when §12.60 was paid for porkers on the hoof. It was the third record of the week . to be broken in hogs, and reflected the slackened receipts. During the six days there were received in South St. Paul only about 28,000 as compared with 63,000 the week previous, and a similar falling off marked the cattle and sheep divisions, and a similar falling off marked the cat- On several days the quality was said to be only mediocre, and the price did not apply, but some heavy fat ones dribbled into the market in carload lots, and were eagerly taken by packers. In cattle the packers had an easy week of it, getting the bulk of their goods at $8.50 down for steers, and two dollars less for cows and heifers. A few extra fat heifers fit for immediate killing and choice_ sale brought $7.50. Cattle. prices were depressed most of the week in spite of decreased receipts, but during the last two”or three days there was a rally that about evened up for the depression of the previous days. (Hog prices began the week at a slump of 10 cents to keep company with beef declines, but could not be held down.) The feeder trade was not much of an item. Some good feeding stock was taken from the pack- ers, but not much, for in spite of the constant pressure to lower prices, the packers were short of killing material (as the nearly always are at South St. Paul) and were glad to get anything from choice steers to canners, About 1000 sheep reached the market during the week, but buyers got them at prices under the best mark of previous weeks, the $13 point being reached for only a few hefty fat Jambs. Light lambs of second grade, ewes and bucks were much in evidence, and shipments were very light, g Received Highest Award ~Panama Pacific Exposition The hogs grind their own grain, thus saving feed and labor.
