KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET
j. A. RICKART,
Market Correspondent.
) ooooooooooo 10000

Kansas City Stock Yards, March IS
Light receipts of cattle were receiv
ed at all the western markets last
week, because of the bad shipping
weather The market made some ad
vances, though prices were already at
a height that made it difficult to ad
vance from. Some dealers say that
despite the expected slim marketing
of cattle for a month or two ahead
prices will not make much of a gain
in that time. Receipts today here are
$500 head, market steady to strong
on everything except heavy steers,
which are little lower in some cases.
Usually at this season that is a condi.
tion to be expected, as buyers want
lighter cuts of meat as warm weather
approaches, but it was not looked for
to any extent this season, account OF
the scarcity OF the good heavy cattle,
and the larger percentage of light
weights. A year ago this condition
was most pronounced. Butcher cattle
are stronger today, steers and heifers
selling up to $500. The best heavy
steers here brought $500 today.
Twenty-six loads quarantines are here
today, containing some good yearlings
at $3.50, and yearling heifers at $3.50,
heavier steers, $50 to 1175 lbs, at $6.10
to $6.75. Hay fed Wyoming steers sold
today at $3.50, weighing 1850 lbs. De-
mand for stockers and feeders is brisk
today, at the highest prices of the sea-
son, fair to good feeders selling at
$500 to $3.50, and stock steers $5.25
to $6.40 stock cows and heifers 1915
to $3.50.
Hog prices moved up decisiyely last
week, and without much opposition
from packers. Receipts are shortening
up at all points, and killers who have
stocks of provisions on hand are not
averse to falling in line with an ad-
vancing market. The market is called
steady to five lower here today, al
though the top price, $6971a, is the
highest figure reached here this year.
1t was paid for an extra choice load
of 800 lb. hogs Bulk today sod at
$6.65 to $500, light weights $6so to
$3.50, and pigs $500 to 1915. No
sooner has the seven dollar mark been
approximated than dealers begin talk
ing about eight dollars, which some
predict will be reached before the first
of May.
Sheep and lambs made good gains
last week, especially wethers and ewes.
which advanced so cents. Lambs ad.
ded half that much Run is 5000 here
today, market 10 to - higher, top
lambs $725, others at $40, fair to
good lambs around 1878. Feed short
age is causing many shipments of half
fat stuff, and While the face Of the mar
ket looks alluring, the accounts of
sales cause heart aches in many cases.
Wethers are worth up to $3.50, ewes
$525.

fact, every appliance and tool In use
on an up to date farm.
The knowledge and educational ben.
eft derived from this camp of instruc-
ton will be spread broadcast through
out the entire state. The selection of
the boys will be made on a competitive
examination of essays by committee
composed of the county school super
intendent. member Of the state board
Of agriculture and member Of the
faculty Of the Agriculture college. The
