Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. I'll
New high figures for the year were set
on choice of prime steers in all grades
in the killing list last week, although
the supply of cattle was liberal all
through the week Corn fed yearlings
and heifers reached $7.35, heavy steers
brought 1925 on two different occa-
sions, native wintered steers off the
grass brought $500 on different days,
and cake fed Texas steers in the quar-
antine division brought S6.10. Buyers
have been complaining that grass cat
tie have been costing more hung up
than corn fed cattle, and as there was
fair supply of grass cattle at all
points last week they proceeded to
equalize values by trimming off 10 to
% cents. Quarantine cattle below the
ton grades also received this treat
ment. il is said that the lower grades
are in for further declines if the run
1.-THE balance of the month will permit
it. but dealers do. not believe supplies
will be large enough for buyers to &C
complish much in the pounding line.
The market is strong to 10 higher here
today, under the influence of the mod
crate run of 1900 head. Stockers
and feeders are up 10 to 20 cents to-
day, following a slow week, with clos
| ing prices Friday Is to 25 lower for
the week. Most sales of these range
from 1915 to $5.25. The run of quar-
antihe cattle here today foots up 147
car loads, including "a loads from
Texas. Steer sales in the quarantine
division ranged from $4.25 to $575, in
Guiding eleven cars of South Texas
grassers at $5.35. Middle grades of
native grass steers sell at $40 to
$6.25, grass cows 1926 to $3.50. top
veals $500.
Hogs became more scarce every day
last week, and as receipts dwindled the
price went up. Closing prices were
the highest of the week, and showed
an average advance of AZ cents for the
week The run today again fell short
only 5000 head advancing 10 cents to-
day, tops selling at $7.65, bulk of sales
$7.45 to $755. Top price in Chicago
today is same as top here, and bulk
of sales there runs from 1920 to ST.55
today. The extra keenness of buyers
here is because the run here is barely
sufficient to supply the fresh meat
trade.
Sheep and lambs received a severe
drubbing last week. account of big
run of grass sheep from the north
} west at Omaha and Chicago and the
determination of buyers there to es.
, tablish a satisfactory basis for the
grass season. Run was not excessive
here, as Utah has not commenced ship
, ping grass sheep yet, most of our grass
sheep coming from that state in the
fall. The close of the week found best
: lambs worth $675, yearlings $3.50
! wethers $3.50, ewes $3.50, breeding
ewes $275 to $3.50, feeding lambs
: $3.50. These prices are effective to
day, run 1000 head, market steady.

Haynes of Vinita, Okla, "we are going
e to raise pretty close to an average
;. corn crop All about us they were
i talking dry weather some time ago
but we never suffered from anything
/ of that kind, our only trouble being
d the hot winds which swept across from
g the places where it had not rained
Now that we are having good rains
n the corn is maturing very. fast ant
a will make pretty close to an average
t yield. Then there is bound to be {
crop of late hay. That is hay terri

n quantities The hay harvest will b.
h late, perhaps as late as October, as !
is the late growth that is now cominl
g on that will furnish the crop"
