Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards. Aug. Is, 1910.
Moderate cattle receipts arrived
last week, and there was not much
change In the market. Feeders sold
higher the first days OF the week,
because Of the many buyers here, but
demand fell off after Tuesday, aud
the advance was lost. Killing cattle
held fully steady during the week,
medium and light cattle showing
slight gains, and calves advanced 20
cents during the week. Dry weather
cattle are running freely to Chicago
$4,000 rangers there last week, about
twice the normal supply for this early
Ia the season. Rains have stopped
the movement from most secUio .
except the northwest. owners holding
| back because of plenty OF good feed,
aud running water ia streams dry a
short time ago, and it looks like
Kansas City weuld have rather light
supplies of cattle another week or
two. Run to-day Is $4,000 head, in-
Guiding 1000 calves, and the market
averages steady. Beef steers are
shade lower In some eases, but COWS
and stOckers and feeders and calves
are stronger today, Light runs should
strengthen the market, but there are
two bear features present this week,
namely, the extra heavy marketing
of rangers at Chicago and the absence
OF demand for kosher meat in the
East, due to a series Of Jewish holi
days extending over nine days, com
neaeing Saturday. Top native
fed steers are worth IS, although best
here TO-DAY sold at $40, best heavy
Kansas wihtered natives and westerns
10 70 to $7,l6, straight grass steers
$3.50 TO 1918, grass COWS around SO, 10,
veais Sc to 81 so, stocKers IS to SIS,
feeders $4.25 to sc. Colorado and
Utah have mad a few cattle here in
the last week, beef steers at 81 30 to
81 co. stoekers at 81 % to S., and some
New Mexico hefers sold a few DAYS
ago at SO 10 to SO 10. Some Of the
oeef steers from Colorado will be here
tomorrow.
The surprise in the hog market last |
week was the sudden junping into
favor Of heavy hogs, which class ad-
vat ced 80 to 40 cents last week
Medium and light weights al>o made
gains, but not so much, al d the week
closed with only a moderate spread in
prices between the various grades
Total receipts at all tho markets dc
creased last week, and traders look
for light runs for awhile. Suppl
here today is only $500, but the
market is steady to S lover, heavy
hogs worth IS Is to sS45, medium
weights up to IS 10, top lights 1915.
The weakness today is mob taken as
Indicating lower prices this weeF,
out on the contrary strength 10
expected, as lard and heavy meats
are considered good property by
packers. The corn prospect and the
nog market will be closely associated
for some tune ahead.
Run of sheep and lambs increased
last week, but the market was good,
country buyers especially taking hold
freely. Some big strings Of feeding
lambs at SIS SO to s6 rs, aud feeding
yearllngs at 81 6s to 81 s., have been
taken out lately. Top killing lambs
today are worth Sc 10, wethers 81 So,
ewes $4.10, and the. market Is called
10 to 20 higher. Liberal runs from
Utah will likely come from now on,
ind with plenty of feed in the
country, that demand will leave a
minimum number for the packers
and the market should hold up g0oe,
