WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
(By J, A. Rickart, Correspondent)


 Kansas City stock yards, Nov. 27, IoII. Heavy receipts of range cattle came in the first part of the week, but few cattle of any kind arrived after Wednesday. The maaket declined IS to 25 cents Monday and Tuesday, and re- mained on the bottom Wednesday. The run was so small after We'd nesday that buyers began to take notice and by the end of the week most of the loss had been regained. Stockers and feeders were at very low ebb on Wednesday, but by Friday the feeling was much better, and everything was cleared up close by Saturday night, with a full recovery in prices in nearly everything. The run today is req sonable, at I2, ,ooo head here, but Chicago has about one third more than necessary today. Prices here are strong to 10 niger than Friday, and 20 to 35 cents above the low time last week. Colorado beef steers sold today at S5.I5 that would not have passed S4 90 last week, and others reached S5.75 today, as compared with a top of S5. 50 last week for full loads of Colorados. Some feeders from Montrose sold at S2.o5 to S5.25 today, 25 to 50 cents higher than the low time last week. A train of Old Mexicos brought $4 co toda, direct from the Republic, similar to $500 cattle date last week. Panhandle calves sell at SAYS to S5.25 for heavy weights, and some Io5o lb Panhandle feed- CTS brought S5.65 late last week, about the extreme top for feeders. Though the market is much bet ter today, killers still assert that the beef markets in the East are full of meat, and that usually large stocks of poultry and small meats are in the retail shops and coolers.
 Packers are supporting the hog market in fashon that indicates they believe in an approaching shortage of the porkine animals. Prices held steady last week, in the face of increased supplies at all points, and clean ups were good from day to day. Run is moderate today, I2,ooo here, prices steady, top S6.45, medium weights S6.25 to S6. 45, light hogs S5.75 to S6.25, pigs S4.25 to S5. 50. Average weights are increasing, I85 per cent here last week, I78 per cent the previous week.
 Sheep and lambs sold unevenly last week, with the market gener- ally Respondent, though good lambs finished the week with sale at the top, S5.5o Run is 7ooo here today, market steady, no good lambs here, medium lambs around $5.Io, feeding lambs S4. .oo to S4. 50, yearliugs S3.5o to S4.25, wethers S3.oo to s. 50, ewes SAYS, to S3.Io. High corn is testing the staying powers of feeders, and some stuff has been sent prematurely. Buyers cut the price on unfinished stuff, and owners are urged to make their stuff good if they hope to reap profit. Dealers believe December prices will be better than now. Some ewes that went out two months ago at S3, were returned last week and sold at SIPS, to $I.75, without any gain in weight, an extreme case.
