Prime Reeves in Demand at Old Rates in Local Live Stock
The Pittsburgh Dispatch reports a record weekly cattle run, with 140 to 150 carloads. Prime cattle were scarce, many lots being common to fair heavy steers. A large portion of stock, including low-grade cattle and “rubbish,” remained unsold by noon, with prices drifting down. Sheep, lambs, and hogs were generally lower, with buyers conceding liberal prices to close sales, amid a weaker market overall and improving corn prospects in Ohio and the Midwest.
