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

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 5.-The cattle run last week footed up 33,ooo head, which was three thousand more than the previous week, and five thousand more than same week last year. The market on fed steers above the middle grade was strong all week, and new high top for the spring months, at S6.35, was made. Be- low the middle class steers prices declined a little because of the increasing number of cake fed cattle from the south now being put on all the the markets, which latter class answer the same pur- pose as the cheap corn fed steers, and do not cost as much money. The spread between the best and the worst has thus been widened, something that should have hap pened to the market months ago. The run today is 5000 head here, only two.thirds as large as on last Monday. There are fewer dry weather cattle here today than a week ago, but there are more quarantine cattle, but the shortage today is mostly in corn fed cattle. These are selling strong today, in fact all kinds are strong, though stockers and feeders are consid- erably lower than a week ago, the decline on those classes in the last ten days amounting to 25 to 50 cents, most on stock cattle. Top steers today S6.I5, bulk of steers from corn fed territory 5.26 to S6. 10, quarantine steers mostly at 4.5o to $5.25, though there are several droves of good weight Texas cake fed steers here today at $50 to S5.7o. Heifers in the native division range from 4.5o to $6, bulls 400 to S4. 90, calves 500 to S7.5o, feeders 500 to S5.5o, stock steers 4.25 to S5.25, stock COWS and heifers 800 to s4.25.
 Sheep and lambs recovered IS 10 25 cents from the low spot last week by the end of the week, and though the supply today is I7,ooo head, prices are nearly steady. Some Texas wethers brought S4, same as they brought Thursday and Friday. Arizona spring lambs reached S7 today, remunerative price, and Arizona wethers also made S4. Ewes are selling at 3. 50 to S3.85, goats $3 to $40, with cull stuff below s, and feed ing sheep-worth $3 to s so.
 The hog market will not down, market at the close of last week is almost at the same notch as at the close of previous week, and prices 5 to 10 higher today. A number loads sold at the top price today, S6, and bulk of sales runs from 5.85 to S6. There IS some bearish talk heard, which may have some truth in it if re- ceipts hold up heavy, but hogs are still cutting up at profit, and any reuuction in the supply will likely more than offset falling off in the demand for lard and meats, which some packers are 4

As last resort to regain his health, A. L. Grady went from Iowa to Flagstaff, Ariz., 28 years ago. As his health improved he begun to look about for an occu- patton, and soon found himself in the live stock business. Since May 8, MT. Grady has marketed 5000 head of wethers, which in- cludes 3 carloads he brought in today. Besides these, he has back ready for shipment, 1000 good lambs, which he will start for market in a short time. His sheep ranch is located near My CTS, Ariz., a mountain range dis trict. Never had better lamb crop in the history of that country than we have raised this spring." MT. Grady said. "This was due to the fact that the ewes wintered well, and to the fact that all season we have had abundant range feed. Good rains early in the spring, and since then, kept the ranges green, and sheep have been doing exceptionally we'll. My wethers are as large as ever had, and very fat. The lambs are also very heavy this spring. We still have with us up in the mountain ranges many of the same condi- tions that existed when went there 2S years ago. A country like that, and especially the parts back from railroads, show but a few changes. We have the big gray wolves, also the coyotes, and other game about as we had years ago. But down in the valleys irrigation has been introduced, and there is where the changes can be found. Kansas City Stock News.
