 The Kansas City Stock Yards. Ju- ly 13. 1908. There was moderate run of cattle last week. and the market retained a part of the good advance secured first two days of the week until the end. Today the heaviest supply of the summer sea son arrived, 10000 head, which, in connection with liberal supplies at other points, gave buyers the up- per hand. and prices arc 10 to 20 cents lower than the end of last week. Buyers claim the meat is hard to move, account of h t weather and unfavorable industrial conditions being against them and should receipts continue, prices will likely show further declines. On the other hand, the market has made some exceptional recoveries from recent breaks, but it was mainly account of circumstances which cut down the receipts tenn porarily. Fed steers are extreme ly scarce. and command SIPS to $500, although none of this kind are here today. Grass steers bring $4.50 to S6.00 today. mostly west ern from Kansas pastures. Panhan- dle and Quarnatine grass steers at $3.75 to $500, cows $2.25 to $3.75, calves $3.50 to $500, bulls $40 to $3.75. Fall trade in stockers and feeders is just opening up. stockers at $500 to $500. feeders $4.50 to $500, with fieshy feeders upwards into the fat cattle price range.

The run is 5000 head today. composed mostly of small lots from native territory but also including Arizona wethers at $4.25. Colorado spring lambs $6.75, Arizona spring lambs $6. 10. The market today is called 15 to 25 higher. There IS a good demand from the entry for stock stuff, wheters and ewes at $3.00 to $3.S5. lambs $4.50 to $500.
