trip around the world. Upon his re-
turn he will secure 4 home In Las
Vegas. where he has always main
tained his legal. residence since he
became citizen Of New Mexico.
This interesting inf0rmati0n was

spOnse to question concerning his

the governor expected to take up MIS-
permanent residence In Santa Fe, and
the people In Vegas will be pleased
to learn that he intends TO return tc
this city to resume mis- residence af-
ter he enjoys much-needed and
well-earned rest.

Kansas City Markets.

Special Correspondence Of the Optic.
Stock Yards. Kansas City. Mo,
Monday, January ~. l9O6.-The ex-
traordinary supply Of $4,000 cattle ar
rived last week, but the market aver.
aged nearly steady for the week.
The yards were well cleaned up
every day, number held over from
last week being 274 head less than
the hold over at the end Of the pre-
vious week. Traders say packers
buying was never as heavy at this
season before. The run today Is 81
600 head, but buyers were eager for
them, the market Is strong to 10
higher on all kinds. Consumptive de-
mand Is phenomenai, and prices will
no doubt make further gains within
the next few weeks, as receipts can
scarcely hold up to present volume.
while the demand IL likely to keep
up. Choice fed steers sold at $3.50
today, highest price since December
18TH A number Of shipments from
the west were here last week. Hay
fed Colorado steers sold at $3.50 to
$4.1O. cows $500 to $355, heifers ut
$3.S5, Idaho and Utah hay fed steers
1910 to S3.S5. New Mexico stockers
$40, high-brcd panhandle yearlings
1920, Gamers 1926 to $2.75, bulls
$2.S5 to $3.15, stays $3.35. In the
corn belt the call Is for well bred
heavy feeders. which are SO scarce
that quotations showing range Of
bulk OF stockers and feeuers $3.50 to
$415, does not give true idea OF
prices ON this class, winch sell up
to $4.6O. The market Is 10 higher
today on all kinds, and everything
points to continued strength.
Too many sheep at all points last
week broke prices 30 TO 90 cents,
1000 head were received here. but
trade was lively each day, and the
supply handled cleanly, without nc
cumuIation or congestion. Mild ana
springlike weather throughout the

last ten days has also been against
heavy consumption. Whether condi.
tions have changed In the last IS
hours, and the moderate supply Of
1000 head today met a strong IN.
quiry. prices 10 To Is higher. Some
Arkansas valley lambs, a lbs, sold
today at >7S5, bulk Of pretty good
lambs, 800 TO $40. Top yearlings
todav at $C.25, some 0s lbs. wethers
1915, and l03 lbs. ewes at S5.25. As
in the cattle trade, demand from NUT
ton consumers is enormous, and
prices quickly advance when re-
ceipts diminish. Some partly finish
ed ewes sold 10 feeders last week at
S425 to S4.Go. and lambs in similar
condition at S6.4O.
