Kansas City Stock Yards, Mar. g.
Cattle receipts here last week were
less than thirty thousand head and
everybody was disappointed in the
size of the run. The bad market of
the previous week had good deal to
do with the slim supply, as the cattle
on feed now are In stronger hands
than a short time ago, and profes-
sional feeders do not panicky at the
first cry of wolf. The market jump
ed up fast first three days of last
week, but heavy fed steers sagged 10
or Is cents the last two days of the
week Net gain on steers was Is to
rs cents, and butcher stuff closed up
rs to 25 higher also, stockers and feed
ers a little higher for the week. Ex-
Ipectation for today called for a. good
run, but supply at all points fell short
again, 5000 head today with prospects
that the final count would run a little
above that figure. Steers sold steady
to 10 higher today, with a $3.50 top on
heavy steers. Other kinds of cattle
sold higher ALSO strong to 10 cents up,
except calves, which seem to be head
ed the other Calf supplies have been
extra heavy since the first of January.
aud the supply of them will grow from
now on. Prices are a quarter lower
than a week ago. Heavy bulls are
also a little lower than week ago.
Top steers reached 1915 last week,
equal to the best price paid in Febru-
,,ary. Killers say that the beef outlet
lis bad, and attribute it to the fact that
hogs, sheep and lambs are each nearly
three dollars cheaper than year ago
at this time, and are therefore more
attractive to consumers. Cattle are
$f0O to $3.50 cheaper now than a year
ago. Bulk of steers sell at $5.75 to
$3.50, good cows $400 to S5.25, heifers
$3.50 to $500, bulls $425 to $5.15,
calves $500 to $500, quarantine steers
s5.25 to $500, Colorado COWS $500 to
$500. Stock steers range from s4.75
to $500, feeders s5.95 to 5000.
Hog receipts were moderate last
week, and yet killers succeeded in
putting the price down a little, the
market today 5 to 10 cents lower than
week ago today. The run is 10000

800 to $40. Packers are using as
a bear argument that there was an inn
portant accumulation of stocks in Feb
ruary. It is true the figures show this
but demand is good from a variety of
sources. Europe is calling loudly for
lard, and a good tlade in side meat in
the south is on the cards for the inn
mediate future Reports differ as to
probable supply of hogs in the imme-
diate future. 1t looks like fair run
can be disposed of at strong prices.
Supplies of sheep anil lambs have
been rather light, and the run today
is only fair for Monday. 10000 head.
The market was good last week, clos
ing up a little higher, and prices are
10 higher today than last Friday.
Lambs brought $6.15 today, and ewes
$4.45, highest in each case in two
weeks. Yearlings are worth up to
$3.50, wethers $3.50. A good many
common lambs are coming, which sell
20 to 80 cents below the best, and feed
ing lambs are selling freely at $5.25
to $54O. Top ewes today came from
Rocky Ford, Colo. and two lots ol
lambs from the Arkansas valley il
Colorado sold at the top.
