Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sep
TENDER Is, 1908.
Cattle and calf receipts yes
terday totaled 30, 800 head, of
which A, 500 calves, and the run
today is 5000 head, including
like proportion of calves. Other
markets are well supplied this
week, and buyers have been able
to take advantage of the situa-
ton and effect reductions rang
ing from weak to ten lower each
of the two days. Prime steers
have held almost steady, top
yesterday $3.50, and the same
figure reached today for a few
cattle, but medium class steers,
including grass steers are
10 to 25 cents lower than the
best time last week. Packers
have been storing up a surplus
of beef for some weeks, and
while they are making purchases
in excess of immediate demands,
in desire to forestall any short
age that may occur late in the
fall or next winter, they are now
in a position to depreSs prices
whenever opportunity offers.
Local packers slaughtered As, 564
cattle last week. a record for this
season, and 5000 head more
than same week last year. They
started out this week by killing
IS, 731 cattle here yesterday.
Dry pastures are said to be
swelling receipts at all the mar
kets, and runs are likely to be
heavy. Cows have been in bet
ter demand than steers since
the middle of last week, and are
about steady for that period, al
though weak today. Grass steers
bring $500 to $500, grass cows
S2.75 to 81. 40, top cows $500.
choice fed heifers $500, bulls
50. 25 to 1926. Country demand
is good and prices slightly high
er than week ago, but packers
get majority of steers in the
fleshy feeder class. Stock steers
range from $3.50 to 81. %. feed
ers $3.50 to $500.
Supply of hogs here for first
two weeks of September is 81
600 head greater than during
same period last year, but the
demand is increasing, account of
a better outlet for the meat.
Prices made a good advance yes
terday, and the market is steady
to strong today. Bulk of sales
today $685. to $7.15, top 1920.
Quality last week was at it's
worst, and though there seems
to be little improvement this
week, a higher average is not ex-
pected till the hogs appear fed
from the new corn crop.
Sheep and lamb supply is
heavy, market weak and a shade
lower last week, stronger yes
terday, steady today. Top lambs
this week bring $3.50, medium
killing lambs $500 to 80, feed
ing lambs $500 to $3.50. killing
sheep and yearlings $3.65 to
$4.2O, feeding wcthers and year
lings $3.50 to $500, breeding
ewes up to $3.50. Run last week
was $4,000 head, today $4,000
head, with good proportion of
the supply available for the coun-
try demand.
