MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yard Correspondent

Kansas City Stock Yards, March
%. By the middle of last week
steer prices had declined 20 to 35c
but scant marketing after Wednes-
day brought a recovery of 10 TO
Zoe before the end of the week.
The best steers were the object of
greatest attack, and suffered most,
medium priced steers meeting a
fairly reliable demand all through
the week. Cows and heifers lost
only half as much as steers, and
closed the week with small net de
cline. The run today is 5000 head,
and the upturn IN prices which be-
gan last week has continued to-
d ty, steers 10 to l5c higher, COWS
and stock grades also stronger to-
day. The break last week caused
a good many feeders to hold off
the market for awhile, but on the
other hand, muddy condition Of
feed lots is forcing some shipping
that might otherwise be obedient
to suggestions of commission men
to wait for a recovery of prices.
Top steers today brought 5000 as
compared with 500 for tops last
week, and bulk of steers bring

Hog receipts here last week
amounted to 70, 900 head, largest
total for any week in more than a
month. Prices advanced the first
part Of the week, but there was a
reaction that wiped out all the
gain by the close Saturday, and
average cost of hogs for the week
was same as during the previous
week, $6.65 per cwt. The market
