Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CrrY, Sept. 15, 19l1- Cattle received here this week 66,- 800, last week 58,200, same week last year 68,600 A heavy run Monday gave promise of liberal total for this week, but break in prices amounting to 10 cents on steers was sufficient cause for stop orders on good many cattle, hence the moderate total for the week. 1t takes a small thing to cause shippers to hold back at this lime, for the reason that grass Is good -and cattle are putting on weight fast. Even at that, it is doubt ful policy, in the minds of the old timers, to keep cattle on pasture that are ready for market this late in the season. Too many minds of the same opinion in this respect would result in glut some day on Ahe market, when the drop in prices would more than offset the 6O or SOtb weight that steers will put on through their lengthenel stay in pastures. A decline of go cents would do it. The out let for beef is not very broad, and buyers refuse to enthuse much. Siace Wednesday slight advance is noted all along the line, however, especially on COWS and butcher grades. Country buyers have bought up the supply of their kind, but at no advance this week. Prime natives would reach $500, aad good wintered grass steers are eligible at $7.25. bulk of the short fed steers at $5 75 to $7.25, native grassers $475 to $7.25, quarantine grass steers S3.85 to $560, Colorado aud western beef steers $4.85 to $500, Panhandle grass cows $3 p to $410 this week, best native cows
