LIVE STOCK MARKET

Special to The Chieftain.
Kansas City Stock Yards, July 10
A total of 10000 cattle, including
1900 calves, arrived in the quarantine
division here last week, and in spite
of this heavy supply, prices on steers
advanced Is to 25 cents for the week,
cows sold 10 TO 20 cents higher, and
veals so to 75 cents higher. Fed steers
reached IS. so, grass steers sold mainly
at 1925 to $500, cows $500 TO 1886,
veal calves $3.50 to S7.O0. The supply
today is fairly good, at 25O car loads,
which is 100 cars less than arrived on
Monday of last week, market 10 to Is
lower today on steers, cows and calves
steady tostrong, top steers today $500.
Since the settlement of the COW ques-
tion with the packers, receipts Of she
stuff have not increased as expected,
and as the demand now includes the
wants Of all the packers there is
hardly enough cows and heifers to go
around. Buyers anticipated heavy
run of she stuff, and we're prepared to
break prices, but receipts so far have
been insufficient in both native and
quarantine divisions. Supplies Of grass
cattle from native territory have been
small so far, and the big movement
from Kansas pastures will not start
before August, while Colorado and
the west will not be shipping much
before September lst.
With the exception of Friday, hog
markets last week tended downward
net decline 13 cents for the week.
Supply is 5000 today, market lower,
top $500, bulk s5.75 to s5 IS. Spread
between lights and heavies is greater
than week ago, and tendency is to-
ward still greater difference between
them. Packers are putting meat
away all the time, and receipts are
liberal and likely to continue so, two
facts favoring lower prices for the
future.
