Live Stock Letter.
Kansas City Stock Yards

Kansas City Stock Yards
The cattle market was in
bad way last week, and prices de-
clined 20 to IS cents on killing
stuff in spite of small receipts at
all the markets. Stockers and
feeders met a good demand, and
held up much better than fat
steers, although the market on
them was irregular from day to
day. The cattle run today is
$4,000 head here, market strong
to Is higher on all kinds. Buyers
had to be coaxed to the pens
all of last week, but trade to-
day is the opposite of the drag
gy conditions prevalent last week
Very few well finished cattle
have been here since a week ago,
and none are here today, top
steers, $500, for steers not much
more than half fat. Country
buyers have taken out partly fin
ished steers lately at $3.50 to S. :
80, for a short feed of 60 to 40
days. There is moderate run
at all the markets today and the
opinion prevails that large FOR
ton of the corn feeding section
has marketed bulk of stuff on
feed. Beef steers sell at $3.50
and upwards, with prime quality
quOtable at $6.75, top heifers
around $500, cows $3.50, bulk of
she stuff $500 to $4.S5, bulls,
$500 to $4.75, calves Is cents to
$1.00 lower than a week ago, at
$3.oO to $l.5O, StOckerS $3.50 to
q $5.25, feeders $500 to 5 so.
Hog run of $4,000 head here
last week was $4,000 less than
same week last year, at which
time supplies were phenomenal a
all the markets. Prices advanc-
ed s. to 10 cents last week, and
the. market is 5 to 10 higher to-
day 'u1 II GOO head today. Very
heavy buying of provisions b.,
Spectators lately, andlight sell
ing of same by packers has adj
vanced the prov lsion market con
siderably during the last week.
This tOgeather with the tendency
of packers to hold the product,
lends a firm tone to trade which
is further enhanced by some talk
Of reduced supplies of hogs on
the market in the near future.
The top today here is $6.4O, a
figure not reached on late sales,
ss the close was weak, practical
ly everything above 200 selling
at $615 to $685., light hogs S.
60. to $6.l5, pigs $4.75 to $3.50.
Lower prices prevailed in the
sheep trade last week, but the
market revived today, prices Is
to Is higher than close of Last
week. Run last week was $4,000
head, supply today 1000. Lambs
sold at $40 to $7.55 today for
good ones, wethers at 1925 to
$780,. yearlings 1915 to $50 ,
