Le Mars Globe-Post (Newspaper) - December 17, 1928, Lemars, Iowa LEMARS POST 1885 Monday and Thursday DECEMBER 17, 1928 Official County Papei VOLUME 46, NO. 101 CAULE TRADE GONE Nothing To Stabilize Is Cause of Break I ( Chicago Producers Generally speaking the cattle trade went to Everything showed a big decline except and cutter The close was the dullest and lowest hence the undertone for the future Is anything but healthy unless famine supplies promptly follow the feast as has been the custom Discussing the decline and the reasons for It revives the same old hurry to unload story repeated Last week's satisfactory market induced an anxious set of finishers to seek the market just as they have doing all They built up a but the buyers and Keeping in mind the different killing prices were all the way from 50c to 2.00 lower as the uneven and hectic week drew to a close in an atmosphere of decided uncertainty not only regarding what fat cows and bulls were actually but concerning how the country would respond to the break and distribute its loadings next The most significant things to remember about the steer trade are that a few Christmas yearlings and lights steers brought $ 16.75 to $ 17.- 25; but that the week under review probably most of the seasonal holiday buying of finished light cattle and that a t least after the early part of next week top prices are due for a fl This busting program was on this week as was shown by several there was often very little difference between $ 15.00 to $ 16.00 cattle as compared with $ 17.50 to $ 17.25 Despite the sale of one load of choice to prime 1,385 lb. steers at $ 16.50, most well finished heavy steers had to sel l a t $ 14.50 down to $ 14.00. As the week closed most of the meaty steers were laggards at $ 11.50 to $ 12.50 with a very sizeable sprinkling at $ 10.00 to $ 11.00. Stockers and especially meaty feeders scaling 950 lbs. upward were on a $ 9.75 to $ 10.75 stockers on a $ 8,50 to $ 10.75 basis and that the country was doing more watchful waiting than Other lights of this week's cattle market that are worth remembering are that few fat cows selling over $ 9.00, although offerings that are no better at $ 10.00 and above last that the break on butcher heifers and is chargeable to so many low priced that i t took a crackerjack load i f pr heifer yearlings to bring $ 12.00 with the bulk from $ 10.00 to $ 11.00; the dressed beef trade locally Is $ 1.00 to $ 2.00 ANOTHER RECENT BRIDE BECOMES WIDOW Friends in t shocked to hear former Miss Rose ' l of this who was i cl five or six weeks is a I The young husband Thursday at Rock ' ter a sickness of 73 of Further details not Hla name w a s Leo Committee Would Like Get Contributions ri Soon To D.
