SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

In almost every department dur
ing the year 1906 the business at the
Kansas City stock yards shows a
gain over 1906. and in receipts of
cattle, calves and total carloads of
live stock. the year 1907 exceeds any
previous year since the yards were
opened. in 1871. A,total of 50, $780,
600 cattle have been received, an
average of almost 5000 head every
business day of the year This does
not include 2S7 600 head of calves
received. These totals are greater
by 80 1000 cattle and 27,000 calves
than were ever received at Kansas
City in any year before. Receipts
of hogs for 1907 aggregate 2,9l5. 600
head. heaviest since the drouth year.
sheep 1.5S5. 900 head, and 5000
horses and mules.
To transport all this stock to mar
ket required $4,000 stock cars,
equivalent to train of live stock
$50 miles long. or equal to three
| trains Of live stock extending COM
pletely across the state of Kansas,
east and west. or to one train Of live
stock reaching almost to Salt Lake
City. In other words; about twenty
car loads of live stock. on an average,
have been unloaded at the Kansas
City market every hour. night and
day. during the business year Of
1907, the money value of which ap-
proximates 100000 for the
year, an average daily business of
$3.50, 600 for each business day. Al
though 1907 is in many respects the
banner year Of the Kansas City live
stock market. every indication
points to still greater achievements
in the future. and it is only a ques-
tion of few years when this mar
ket will take its position at the head
Of the live stock markets Of the
world.
