REPORT OF ST. LOUIS
LIVE STOCK MARKET
-umished by St. Louis Live !
Stock Commission Co
St. Louis, Nov. 29.—There {
s no change in the situation as
,o the quarantine against ship
ping of stocker and feeder eat
;le from here. This is only tem
porary, and does not in any
vay affect the selling and ship
ping of killing cattle.
That the emabrgo has no
pearing on killing cattle can
lot better be explained than an
ictivel market for steers at
steady prices compared with
ast week, while mixed grown
stuff closes 25 to 40c higher,
the only exception to be noted
s for yearlings, which close 40
:ents lower, owing to a liberal
mpply. The packers and butch
ms are cleaning up killing stuff
ike hot-cakes and prospects
ire very encouraging for a
?ood market to continue, pro
vided, of course, that receipts
:lo not become excessive.
Choice to prime steers $6.60
;o $7.40; good to choice $6 to
j>6.66; medium to good $5.40
;o $6; common to medium $5
,o $5.40.
Hog receipts continue unusu
ally heavy, with a large pro
portion of light-weight and un
finished classes. The market
.•ontinues downward and aver
ages 15c to 25c lower than a
veek ago. Choice hogs 180 lb
ip $9.50 to $9.90; mixed hogs
L50 to 190 lb $9 to $9.40; light
pigs 6.50 to $8; best rough
logs $9.25 to $9.50.
