A Review of Prices and Conditions of
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, March 20.-Cattle receipts last week at Kansas City were 29,2OO, about the same as the previous week, and about 1000 less than the corresponding week last year. The proportion of western stuff was light, and prices on western fed steers averaged probably 1Oc lower; they ranged from $40 to s4.60. Stockers and feeders, cows and heifers sold strong all the week, and closed a shade higher than at the close of the previous week; it was the best stocker and feeder market for several months, as country buyers seemed to have con- fidence in higher prices for beef cat tie in the near future. Any kind of stockers carrying decent quality sold from S3.S5 to $40. and fleshy feeders sold in several instances from S4.50 to $4.75; very few cattle sold for less than $3.25. The run yesterday was 1000, and the market steady on everything, with a slightly weaker tendency on stcckers and feeders.
 Sheep receipts last week were 23,O62 previous week. 24,779; same week last year, 1S,7S0. Prices were generally weak. and lambs lost 10 to 15 cents: yearlings, ewes and wethers, , to 10 cents. Quality was hardly up 10 the previous week, which accounts partly for lower prices. Run yesterday was 5,O0O head, and priceS1O cents higher. Best lambs sold at $5.6O; yearlings, $500; wethers, $4.5O; and some choice western ewes shipped in by the West ern Meat & Live Stock Co.,, Almena, Kansas, 116 lbs brought Si.30.

Three thousand persons, most of whom were Americans saw the bull-hghter die after he had been disembowelled. The bloody spectacle was sickening in the extreme and caused a dozen women to swoon. The Mexican populace cheer ed wildly and counted the afternoon we'll spent.
 Cuckoo" or Antonio Fefnandez, as he was known in Spain, was advertis- ed on the bill boards today to kill the last bull of the four which were to be put to death. The bull proved to be the last that he will ever kill. The animal was a magnificent specimen from Samalayuca with long, sharp horns and powerful shoulders Cuckoo sword in hand, met the in- furiated beast face to face and ad- ministered a trust behind the left shoulder that should have reached the heart.
 The bull, contrary to expectations clung tenaciously to life after falling to the ground. Cuckoo" stepped for ward to stab the prostrate animal in the brain to end his suffering. when suddenly the dying beast sprang to
 his feet and caught the gladiator on
 his horns tossing him high into the | air.
 The man in falling again struck the horns and was then trampled under | foot. A blanket was thrown over his mangled corpse and the bundle was hurried from the arena. The bull still defiant. was dispatched a moment | later.
