Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards. June II,
1912. Smarting under their defeat last
week, when they we're forced to add 81
to 80 cents to cattle values, buyers
threatened at the end of the week to
break the market fifty cents this week
Killers are being criticised for the high
cost OF meat, and would be glad 10
cheaper it. But the demand holds up
we'll, as labor all over the country is
pretty generally employed, and the
call for meat is insist ent, despite the
high price. Small killers are scurrying
about the country in search of chear
beef, and there is enough Of them 10
keep the big killers lodging. 1t would
be possible for packers to carry out a
threat to break prices half dollar, but
would be like man staying unde
water, be could not stay there very
long. Receipts at the five lee ding mar
kets last week we're one third less than
during the same week last year, a con-
dition that m ght easily excuse the a6
vance recorded. Various markets re
ported big run of cattle to-day, with
prospects favoring lower markets, bu'
the run here was modest, 5000 head.
and in the native division everything
sold strong and active, without sig
of the break hereatened. A run of I80
cars Of quarantine5 served as a reason
for concessions from sellers there,
running from week is 10 lower, with
the close of the market the best. Top
natives sold at SO Is to-day, Colorado
at $500, Texas quarantines at So. TO-,
grass quarantines at SIS 90 to So rs.
Hogs we're received to the number OF
5000 heads here, light for Monday, but
lower markets elsewhere caused a de-
cline of weak to five cents here, top
81 As, same as top in Chicago to-day,
bulk 81. Is 10 $40 Sheep and lambs
sold steady today, best spring lambs
1915, FIVE loads of Arizona whethers
$500, native ewes worth $425 These
prices are rs cents above week ago,
except on lambs. The run is 1000 to-
day, containing good share of low
grade Texas and Arizona stuff.
