Cattle market receipts rise at Lancaster auction
Monday's Lancaster cattle market sold 133 cars, up from 125 the prior Monday. Good beef cattle brought about 8 cents per pound, light weight heifers sold as low as 6 cents, feeders 900 to 1000 pounds brought 7.40 to 7.65 dollars, and common stockers 500 to 600 pounds moved at 5.25 to 5.75 dollars, about one dollar per hundred lower than September rates. Also notes a humorous aside about parade conceit and high coal costs.
