KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.

Rickart, Co

Kansas City Stock Yards, Mar. e7.-
Monday was the low spot in the cattle
market last week, though Tuesday did
not bring much improvement. Very
light receipts after Tuesday began to
effect slight advances Immediately on
light and handy weight killing stutf
and by the end of the week all the
loss of Monday had been restored. To
day the run is only 1000 head here. ac-
cording to first estimates. The small
ness of the run put some vim in the
early action, at prices 10 to 10 higher
than close of last week, and around
quarter above a week ago, and al
though the final count ran two thou
sand head above the estimate the
market did not weaken March re-
ceipts of cattle will show a decrease
of nearly 10 per cent from last March
at Kansas City and Chicago, and even
greater decrease at some Of the other
markets, and yet the market has lag
ged along reluctantly all month so
far. Even the rise of the past week
has been granted only because of the
extra slim supply. The cattle supply
during the next three months is eX-
pected to show some gains over same
months last year, but the last half of
the year, according to parties who have
surveyed the whole field recently, will
show a decrease of 10 per cent in cat
tie receipts from last year. Quarantine
receipts amounted to 100 cars last
week, and 40 cars arrived today
mostly steers at $5.25 to $500 Best
steers in native division today sold at
$685., bulk $3.50 to $G15, COWS $40O
to $535, heifers from Nebraska today
at $610 veal calves $3.50 to $3.50,
stock steers $4.75 to $500, feeders
I$5.25 to $3.50.
Hog receipts last week We're 6S,0OO
head here, about 10000 less than pre-
vious week The market declined ma
terially during the week, but it was not
without a struggle on the part of sales
men. A year ago now was the high
time and shippers grow sentimentally
reminiscent in recalling the ten dol
lars per cwt. they received then, and
compare it with the three and one half
dollars less that they receive now, but
they still are able to say at the finish,
that there is still a profit in feeding
hogs. Prospects ahead look more
bearish than a week ago Run here
today 10000 head, market weak to 5
lower, closing steady, heavy hogs
$6.45 to $3.50. medium weights $3.50
to $675, light weights $6.65 to $6.75.
Total marketing of sheep and lambs
at all points last week fell off Is per
cent from previous week, though there
was a good run here. Colorado is
furnishing the big bulk of the receipts,
and will continue to do so two weeks
or more. Spring lambs will soon be-
gin to come, and dealers say prices
will not be as high as in former years,
4 because Easter comes so late, and
there will be plenty of lambs, They
say packers will pick and choose, and
doubt if $1,000 per cwt is exceeded,
probably $500 to $500 taking most Of
the early lambs. Run is light here to-
day 1000, market 10 higher, top
lambs $685., yearlings 1855, wethers
1925, ewes $50, clipped stock so to
75 cents under these figures for best
