Kansas, City Markets.


Stock Yards, Kansas City. Mo-, Tues
day, April "a. 1906.
The cattle run promises to be bet
ter distributed this week than last,
when nearly two thirds of the weeks
supply came in the first two days.
Today's supply is 10000 head, against
Il, 1000 last Tuesday. The market is
holding fully steady this week, steers
shade stronger. Prices sagged badly
last Tuesday and Wednesday, account
of the big run Tuesday, but the loss
was recovered by the end of the week
Receipts this week will likely be as
large all told as the supply last week,
but the market will have held steady
all week, IS compared with loss of
10 to 15 cents on probably 40 per cent
of the cattle received last week. OF
course shippers cannot always regu-
late this matter exactly right, but
when the same conditions are repeat
ed week after week, big run Mon
day and Tuesday, and light after that,
prudent shippers will hold off till
later in the week.
Buyers are taking the heavy steers
better this week than any time for
month or two, while the light weights
had to stand whatever weakness there
was yesterday. However. only small
percentage of the steers show the
proper finish to get above 1925, bulk
of the steers selling at 4.65 to S515,
top today So. so, best price last week
$50. Good heifers bring from S4.25
to S4.75, few choice ones, mixed
with yearlings at s4.9O to S5.IO, cows
bring So. 25 to 81. so. Gamers and stock
cows and heifers 81 25 to So. 40, bulls
So. 90 to S4.00, veal calves 81. 90 to $3.50.
Good weather made the trade in
stockers and feeders heavy in the last
week. prices on them a little stronger
this week, feeders 81 90 to 1915, stock
ers 80 to S4.60, few choice cattle
above these figures, one lot of choice
black stockers today at S5.15.
Hog receipts have been liberal for
ten days, but are not as heavy today
as a week ago, $4,000 today, against
1900 last Tuesday. Prices have
weakened from the high point last
Tuesday, top today, S6.45, bulk of
sales Sc. 35 to Sc. 425, weights below
200 pounds 80 to S6.40, pigs 1925 to
$500. Quality holds up pretty well,
but unless receipts continue close to
/ $4,000 per week, prices will stay up;
/ Sd, GOO were FcceIved iast week, less
than that will be the footing for this
week.
Mutton prices are apparently head
ed upward, particularly lambs. Re-
iceipts are small, only 5000 today. and
practically none yesterday, lambs 10
to 20 higher today, top s7.05, bulk of
wooled lambs above S6.75, clipped
/ lambs s5.85 and 1896 today, sheep
prices not tested, but clipped wethers
and Yearlings quotable at $500 to
$3.50, ewes S4.75 to $500. Some wosl-
ed ewes sold lately at S5.75 Very
little stuff is available from native
territory for the present.
