TO STOCK MEN,

Kansas City Stock Yards, June
IS, 1908, The waters in the kaw
river reached the highest point last
week on Thursday morRing at Kan
sas City, and had reeeded almost
three feet up to Saturday morning,
when general rain over the Kaw and
Missouri water sheds started another
rise which has eliminated today
with a stage Of 29 IL feet above
low water mark in the Kaw at the
stock yards, believed to be the crest
of the present rise. This stage IS
eight feet below the big flood Of
1908. The damage to the stock
yards and packing houses at Kansas
City will practically be confined to
the loss account Of suspension Of
business. AS soon as the waters
subSide all the facilities at the stock
yards now 0WerfoWed can be put in
condition for use within a day OF
two, as bot little physical damage
has been done. The same condi-
tions rules ID all ihe packing houses.
The Armour Packing Company has
succeeded in keeping the water out
of their plant completely, even from
their cellars, and are anxious to
begin killing all kinds OF live stock
Jas soon as it can be secured. An
official Of that company stated this
morning tbat the packers expect
big demand for meats as soon as
the floods abates, which insures a
fine outlet for live stock here WREN
business opens up again. OF course
it is impossible to forecast the date
of the resumption Of business la the
yards, but It is almost certain that
the rivers will begin to fall today,
and that stock can be- handled here
by the middle Or last of this week.
"a portion Of the quarintine yards
are on lower ground than the native
yards, but the probabilities are that
business can be resumed there early
next week. None Of the stock yard
facilities are injured in any way,
and all will be available as soon as
the rivers 90 down. None of the
connections between the yards and
the various packing plants has been
injured. Two strings Of ehutes can
siill be used for unloading stock, but
as a rule the railroads can not reach
them. Ten cars of stock were un-
loaded here Saturday, four of cattle,
four Of hogs and two Of horses, and
one car Of mixed stock were un-
loaded Sunday. However, the date
of the general resumption of business
at the stock yards depends entirely
On the railroads. AS soon as they
are able to deliver stockt0 the yards,
the yard company can handle il
and the packers viii be anxious tol
purchase it
