Kansas City Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April
30, 1907.
The liberal supply of $4,000
cattle last week resulted in loss
of 3 to Is cents on steers, but
other kinds of killing cattle re-
NAMED steady. StockerS and
feeders struck bottom the mid
die of the week, and with the APP
pearance of more buyers after
Wednesday the market advanc
ed 10 to 25 cents from the low
time. The supply OF cattle yes
terday was liberal for Monday,
and the market shade lower on
steers, but the run today is light
for Tuesday at 10000 head, and
while there is no advance in
prices, the situation is improving.
Cows are selling stronger this
week, and stockers and feeders
are also some higher, because of
small proportion of that class,
together with the encouragement
of the general rains which fell
over the country yesterday. The
demand for killing cattle is
strong, and the general market
is in good shape, and will readily
respond to favorable conditions
in the way of smaller runs. No
choice steers have been here for
some time, top last week $500,
top today $50, bulk of sales
$50 to s.. 60, cows 800 to S4.75,
heifers and yearlings shade low
er than last week, at S3.S5 to
40, bulls S3.1 to 81 25, calves
so to 15 cents below week ago,
1925 to $3.50. About 800 loads
of stock and feeding cattle were
taken to the country last week,
many of them secured at bar
gains, as traders had a good
many high priced cattle on hand
and made ruinous concessions in
order to move them. The range
on stockers is now So 80 to $500,
feeders S4.25 to $50, choice or
fancy cattle occasionally above
these figures.
The hog run last week reached
"a, 200 head, and is starting out
good this week, 10000 here to-
day. Market is shading down
wards at all points, account of
pretty liberal marketing, receipts
for April 275, 900 at Kansas City,
showing a gain of $1,000 head
over same month last year, and
the greatest since 1901. There
is not quite such a wide differ
ence between heavies and lights
as last week, the light hogs sell
ing today at $685. to S6.45, med
ium weights $3.50 to Sc. 40, heavy
hogs Sc 81 1-2 to S6.35.
Sheep and lambs are still com
ing pretty freely under the at
traction of the good prices, but
the supply is sure to drop down
soon, 5000 here today, including
a shipment of 10 cars of Texans. |
Market was lower yesterday, but
is stronger today, just about
equal to the best time lately, |
though not fully tested today.
Lambs are worth SO. 25 to So. go, |
clipped lambs 500 to S7.25,
wethers 1886 to S6.1O, ewes S5.35
to $500, wooded ewes today Sc. 60.

The Largest Egg Ever Laid BY Hen.

"A light Brahma pullet, owned
by George l.. Fish, of bingham.
has brought distinction to her
breed and fame to that town by
presenting her owner with an
Easter Offering of most unusual
size. 1t is an egg laid on March
II, which Mr. Fish and his
neighbors believe to be the lar
gest ever laid by hen.
The egg measures nine and
three-eighth inches in circumfer-
ence lengthwise and seven and
one-fourth inches the other way,
and weighs six and one fourth
ounces. Mrs. Brahma's pro-
duct is one and three-eighths
inches longer than an ordinary
egg.
A peculiar feature of the big
egg is that there is every reason
to believe that instead of being a
double yolk" there is another
hard-shell egg inside of this one
1t is impossible to determine
this by the usual test of holding
it up to a strong light, as the
shell is unusually thick. By
turning it carefully, however,
there is a perceptible jar" that
can be felt and heard
A few weeks ago a story was
sent out from some place in Con
necticut telling of a hen that had
laid a monster egg that measur-
ed seven and three Fights inches
around the long way and weigh
ed four and four eighths ounces. -
The story ended with challenge
to the world to produce it's equal.
Mr.. Fish is not looking for cham
pionship honors, but he declares
that his exhibit makes the Con-
necticut hen fruit look like a nut
