Hog receipts shrunk little more

price naturally kept on going up. The
market lost its stride after the middle

the net advance for the week was lie.

Kansas City Stock Yarcs. Sept. IA
Normal supplies of quarantine cattle
arrived here last week While trade
was active all week. the market did
not quite hold up to its recent good
performances, and the close was
lOd l5c lower on steers and COWS and
25m SOC lower on calves. Buyers got
the upper hand Labor Day, as they
did no killing then and were thus able
to get ahead that much and they kept
their advantage all week. The big de
mand for stockers and feeders in the
native division, which has been in
creased by every rain that has fallen
lately. is big handicap to packers in
their efforts TO depress prices. Country
buyers took out $50 car loads of cattle
