KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
May Il, 1899.

May Il, 1899.
The best cattle have sold this week
at about last weeks prices; there be-
ing very little, if any, change. Half
fat and poorly matured steers that
are not good enough for feeders are
very slow sale 1t is wonderful how
much better the demand is for light
cattle even though they are not
strictly fat than for the heavier
grades For example, it takes fine
drove of matured natives weighing
400 lbs. to bring $500 to $50 while
dehorned westerns weighing 100 lbs.
of plain quality that are barely good
enough to clear for dressed beef pur-
poses will sell at $3.50 to 60.
There is very little change in the
price of Stockers and feeders for the
week. Real good 1000 lbs dehorned
natives are selling at 81. 60 to 20, and
high bred dehorned stock steers
weighing 700 to 500 lbs. will bring
S4.75 to 80. There is a spread of fully
S1.OO per cwt- between common grades
of stockerS and feeders and the better
kinds. There is very active demand
for all grades of well bred she stuff
Fat heifers lring $3.50. and good
young stock cows sell at 1856 to 90
We do not look for much change in
the cattle market in the near future
and are inclined to think feeders who
have matured steers ready for market
had just as we'll ship them, unless
they are prepared to carry them until
in July
couraging and we can see nothing in
the near future to warrant holding

vision market is at a low point of the
season and while the provision tide
is active. there is nothing to indicate
any advance in prices

more has been discovered about this hon

attire of the plains. But Mr.. Apache IS

as his forefathers wore their red paint
