Gain of 154 Per Cent in Nine Years
Fast Becoming the Controlling

Yards Visitors.

\ retrospective view of the cattle re-
ceipts of Kansas City for the past ninC
years makes startling showing. The re.
ceipts here in 1887 were $4,000. and for 1895
estimating December receipts at $4,000, 105..
42i Of which have already been received.
they Will be 1.7O2OOO, an increase in nina
years of 1,OS3,Oe0. or 14 per cent. For the
same time Chicago gained 21SO0O. or 5 per
cent. No one can view these figures with
out feeling that Kansas City is fast be-
coming the controlling cattle market of
the West. and here is finally to be the
beef center of the United States.
Hog receipts the past two days have been
i.i6O. II that lick is kept up. Kansas City
will soon be Porkopolis.
