Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 30.-
There was an irregular market on cat
tie last week, the close showing heavy
steers off 10 to 10 cents, light steers
strong to 10 higher, butcher grades
and stockers and feeders about like
the close of previous week Bulls lost
| 10 to 25 cents during the week, and
calves closed 25 off. Stoekers and
feeders sold higher first of the week
lbut lost the bloom early, though en-
Toying a good demand all week The
run today is $4,000 head here, and the
market is steady on everything except
heavy fed steers, which are weak to
no lower. The crop of finished steers
is much larger this year than in any
recent year, one reason for the small
premium finished steers are bringing
over lighter weight short fed steers.
Another reason is that the beef trade
is not in very healthy state in the
least. Light weight cuts can be sold
in large quantities, but the demand
for big steaks is disappointing. A
string of 1,450 ID steers sold here to-
day at 500, fed since the first of Sep
tember, and the same salesman sold a
lot of 900 lb steers to the same pack
er at $5.65, fed sixty to seventy days.
The highest sale here last week was
at $3.50, for some Nebraska steers, on
Wednesday, 1854 lbs Nothing as
good is here today, best here around
$625, bulk at $565 to $6.15. Most of
the native cows sell at $4.00 to $5.25,
heifers at SAFE to $500, bulls $4OO to
$510, best veals today $3.50 Some
Colorado fed steers, from the Arkansas
valley, sold at 1896 last week, COWS
at $4.40 to $3.50, stock cows $475, can
ners $375. Thirty loads quarantine
steers arrived today, selling at $3.50
to $500 A year ago now the cattle
market was setting in on big rise,
values advancing one dollar per cwt
in February, but dealers do not ex-
pect anything of the more distant fu-
ture, from the prices they are paying,
$475 to $500 for cattle for the coun-
try.
Hogs lost II cents last week, the
bear influence being evident most of
the time during the week The run to-
day is 5000 head, market to 10 high
er, top $7.77R, bulk $40 to $775.
Heavy weights and lights have chang
ed places on the price list since week
ago, the lights now leading, while mix
ed packing weights remain in the mid
die Heavies sold today at $3.50 to
$40. Eastern order buyers bought
light hogs freely. which accounts part
ly for the change of position An
other factor Is the increasing percent
,ge of heavy hogs in the receipts.
Sheep and lambs sold lower last
week from day to day, especially after
Wednesday, and the close was a quar-
ter under close of previous week Mar
ket is steady today. run 1000 head,
best lambs at $500, wethers $4.25. ewes
$4.10, yearlings worth around $3.50 for
light weight stock January receipts
here show a small increase over Jan
uary last year, but dealers predict
bigger gain in February, although they
admit that native territory is pretty
well stripped of offerings, and a good
share of the San Luis Valley stuff, in

Cousin Emma S
Fault

When Mrs Cox returned from the
seashore her two trunks were full OF
mussed-up hats and soiled dresses.
She unpacked her things with set
look of distaste and heaved sigh OF
relief when the last pair OF satin
slippers had been sponged of with
gasoline and the last ehiffon veil had
been folded away in its particular
sateen-covered box in the top bureau
drawer Mrs. Cox is a fastidious
young person and no article Of her
personal apparel ever strays from it's

very tired.

Cox nodded with vague sympathy

The only thing I'm uneasy about is
my bathing suit. 1t did seem so
ridiculous to send bathing suit to
