Live Stock Letter.
Kan sas City Stock Yards.

Jrly 9th, 1910.
Although The cattle market moved
up onto 6rm ground last week, under
the influence of very light receipts,
the premium paid by buyers was not
handed over spontaneously, and at
the close, though prices were l5 to
40 cents higher, trade was dull at the
advance. The holiday yesterday was
observed in all departments Of the
trade here, and the accumulated sup
ply for today was expected TO he
considerably larger than the 10000
head which it turned out to be. MAJ
urally higher market might have
been expected today, but buyers
figure that shippers have been ad.
vlsed to stay away to-day in view of
the expected big run, and that re.
ceipts later 10 the. week will be
heavier, and they can afford to be
more or less indifferent today. The
market is a shade stronger on the
best, steady to weak on others today.
Killers complain of a poor outlet for
beef, but this is not believed entirely,
as they take the best cattle freely,
aud retail prices on best cuts were
advanced last week. On the other
hand, the cheaper cattle meet the
greatest neglect, and the lower priced
cuts Of meat were reduced little 10
price last week. 1t looks like packers
have no intention of allowing prices
of the Medium and low grade cattle
gel much, if any, higher than at
present. Common light steers are
still higher than year ago, but not
as much above that period as the
better grades, so that the advice to
owners to hold on and make them
better seems good. It is the profile m
that comes up annually about this
time. Top beef steers today SS.l5,
middle class steers 6.25 to 7.5O,
COWS 1926 to 475 bulls 1926 to Ats,
best veals $50, top feeders tod ay
$50, Stocke,s at 9.25 to 5 25. ,,'-
Fairly good hog receipts came in
last week, enough to enable packers
to beat the price down % cents for
the week. Receipts last week ex-
ceeded receipts corresponding week
a year ago, at which time prices
were advancing, and about this time
last year the eight cent hog arrived,
creating some CONSERVATION; and
much speculation as to how long it
would remain. Packers had a good
ChaLce to depress prices last week,
as they anticipated the holiday of
yesterday, and two days of idleness
at the plants, and did not care to
have any hogs lying around in such
hot weather. The run is light today,
1000, which was expected, as the
country usually celebrates pretty
thorou. hly on the fourth, and little
loading is done Buyers wanted
hogs today, and paid 10 cents higher
prices for them. but at the close the
spectre of recent indifference showed
itself little, and late sales were
weak. Top today 92O, bulk 900 to
9 Is, top heavies 90O, pigs wanted,
and generally sold in with loads.
Sheep and lambs sold better at the
close Of last week, lambs especially
meeting with favor. Run is 1000
today market strong in spots, lambs at
$40, wethers worth 500, ewes Ats,
Texas wethers 4 so, goats worth
S25 Feeding stock has been rather
dull lately, and it is good time tc
buy for the country, breeding ewes
available at 400 to ATS, and feeding
wethers around 400, prices which
look very reasonable.
