Live stock receipts at Kansas City
last week.
Total cattle receipts last week were
"a 400 head, about 1000 less than pre-
vious week, and the supply was also
better distributed throughout the
week, making the trade more active
and helping prices. No strictly choice
beef steers were here. Top for the
week was $50. The average quality
was good; rs per cent of the sales were
from $3.50 to $500. Beef steers gained
10 to 10 cents. Heavy cows were s
cents higher, and ranged from SO. 40 to
$4,35. Heiters were 25 cents higher,
putting them almost equal to the
best time lately. Sales ranged from
50, rs to $4.S5. Veal CALVES were Is
cents lower; best now barely reach IS.
Stockers and feeders sold steady to
strong; heavy feeders were to 10
higher. Sales ranged mostly from
1915 to $4.65. Run today is 5000
head. although the morning estimate
was only 1000. Light receipts were
received elsewhere, and market was
active at strong to 10 cents higher
prices. Best steers brought $5.15 to-
day. Receipts for next few weeks are
expected to be light, and market
should be favorable.
Hogs were lower each day last week
after Tuesday, and ended Saturday rs
cents lower than previous Saturday.
Increased run and lower provisions
were the principal reasons for losses.
Supply is liberal today at 5000 head,
half of which, however, is billed to
packers here, pure hased at other mar
kets. Prices started out weak to
cents lower, and market closed II
cents lower. Top price was s4.55;
bulk Of sales S4.35 to s4.45, which is
the lowest point reached this year.
Sheep prices did not change any
thing to speak of last week. Supply
was 10000 against $1,000 same week
last year. Run today is light at 5000
head. Prices are 10 to Is cents high
