Live Stock Market Report.


Special to La lara CHRONICLE.
Kansas City, Jan. 2, 1905 The
week, month and year closes with the
cattle market suffering relapse from
the usual stimulation first two days
of this week. Some sales of killing
cattle Tuesday were 35 to so cents
above Friday of last week, but as soon
as packers saw likelihood of better
weather and receipts, they adopted
waiting tactics, and refused to buy
since then except at reductions of to
Is cents each day. The week closes,
however, with small net advance,
pretty well covering all kinds killing
cattle. Good stockers and feeders are
10 to 90 cents higher than a week
ago. account of scarcity.
Total cattle receipts this week are
only 10000 head, two thirds of which
came last half of the week. Top
beef steers sold at SIS 40 this week,
bnt nearly all of the steere are of the
half fat kind, and sell 81 % to So 90
Good heifers sold at 81 % to 81 so
fat heavy cows So 25 to 81 %, medium
she stuff 81 so to So % Veals have
been scarce, and bringing SIS so to
So %, maybe more. Range Of sales
of stokers and feedere is about the
same, S2.75 to 81 90, but the supply
has been very small, and probably
most of the sales at So 40 to 1915,
few sales at 81 90 to 81 Is. Stock
COWS and feeding bulls are stronger
at 50 90 to $500, stock calves about
the same, $3.50 to $500.
Hog receipts have been extremely
light, account of bad shipping con-
ditions, but the hog market has not
advanced as good many expected, in
view of the light run. Packers have
appeared Indifferent, but have made
a strong market of it every day, till
yesterday and to-day, when sales were
steady to 5 cents lower. Top is now
around 81 65, little better than a
week ago, packing grades from $3.50
to 81 65, lights and pigs from S4.55
on down to $500. Packers act like
they expected the market to go
lower.
Mutton prices are strong and higher
nearly every day. Prices this week
are the highest of the season on ev
erything, although quality has been
lacking in all the different kinds.
Fed western lambs sold yesterday at
$500 and Sc Go, fed yearlings at
So rs, fed western ewes at 81 60.
Straight native wethers are worth
81 90 to So rs, ewes $3.50 to SIS 90,
Some light Mexican yearlings aud
lambs 43 and 34lb, respectively, sold
to feeders at S4 90 for each kind Tues.
day.
