RANGE AND MARKET NEWS
Items of Interest Pertaining to the Live Stock Industry in Arizona-Mar-
 ket for the Past Week.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 12.-Cattle receipts here last week were fairly good at 45,O00 head, run same week last year 35. .0OO. The market declined 10 to 25 cents on heavy steers. but light steers and butcher cattle closed about steady for the week. after selling higher middle of the week. Grass cattle lost Is to 25 cents during the week, with cows selling at the smallest loss. Some fed Colorado steers brought S6.50 to S6.60 during the week, and Kansas grazed west ern steers sold at $5.25 to $6.25, grass cows at $500 to $4.00.
 The run today is only 5000 cattle here. the supply kept down by ina bility of railroads to handle stuff promptly account big rains and washouts in Kansas and Missouri. The stuff is selling around steady today, although the meagre supply is not nearly sufficient to supply the normal demand. Indications point to a small run next few days, and with the cessation of flood con- ditions, and the improvement of the railroad situation. the demand will require large supplies of all kinds of cattle. Stockers and feeders lost ground last week, clos ing Is to 25 cents lower. Very few are included today, stock steers at $3.75 to $500. feeders $4.5O to $5.l5. few weighty feeders at $5.50 lately, buyers of same intend ing to feed them for the September market.
 Supplies of sheep and lambs are fairly good. and the market has been stronger since the first of last week. Supplies today are only 2OOO head. but offerings in the last week have embraced wide variety of stuff, including Utah wethers at $4.6O, yearlings $5.25. California lambs $6.75 to $7.5O. Arizona nut tons $4.25. feeding ewes S4.l5, feeding lambs $5.25, spring lambs $500. Colorado spring lambs at $8.l5, Texas ewes and wethers mix ed $4.25, Native spring lambs $8.6O, and young breeding ewes $5.25. Prospects point to a big corn crop all over the corn belt this season, and strong demand for all kinds of feeding stock this fall.
