The Strike Condition in Kansas City
Cuts Market Capacity in Two.

The Strike Condition in Kansas City
Cuts Market Capacity in Two.
Kansas City, No, July 26.-Strike
conditions at this point are unchanged
from week ago, except that Armour
and company and Swift and company
claim they are able to handle more
business, while S. & S. and Cudahay
are not in as good shape as last week.
Under present conditions, however, the
market can take care of 5000 to 4 500
cattle per day, and 5000 to 1000 hogs,
without hurting prices any. Shippers
should keep in close touch with their
commission firms, most Of whom are
advising them to let their stuff come
along each day; ship about half as
much as under ordinary conditions,
and let It come so that there will be
a moderate run every day, not bunch
It up one day, and then have two or
three days with almost nothing here.
Packers viii buy stock Saturday as well
as any other day in the week now, 50
as to have something to kill Monday.
OF course, nobody can tell the outcome
of the strike, or future developments,
but if things get no worse, the above
can be relied upon. 1t seems that more
stock is coming to this market than
elsewhere during this trouble, and
eastern butchers are coming here in
numbers to buy stock. 1000 cat
tie came in yesterday, market ten
cents higher than Saturday; $500
cattle today, prices 10 cents above
yesterday, and an active market both
days. Top steers yesterday $3.50. to-
day S5.8S. Fair to good cows sell at
$3.50 to S4.25, heifers $500 to $500,
veals up to S4.z5. Only good quality
stuff is wanted, as packers will not buy
cheap and trashy kinds. Stockers and
feedersicontinue dull, at S2.75 and 81 so.
Hog market cannot be depended on
to take any certain course. Prices to-
day are 20 20 80 cents above yesterday,
with a top of $50, IS cents higher than
yesterdays best price, and highest price
since last October. Bulk sold at $50
and S5-55, weights below zoo pounds
up to S5-5S. Top here today same as
at Chicago. The sLy-rocket prices to-
day were the result OF keen competition
between packers and outside order
buyers
Hardly any sheep have been coming,
only 5000 arrival last week. Armour
and company said today that they
could use Loco OF 5,OO0 this week Il
they could get them. Spring lambs
bring up to S5-S5, whethers so, ewes
lambs S3.z5. Stock and feeding sheep
have been moving at $50 to Ss.2s.-
