KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET
o o o o O 90 O 100000 o

Kansas City Stocy Yards, Dec. l6.-
Too many fed cattle at all the mar
kets last week injected considerable
weakness into the market on that
kind, particularly steers, and though
stock cattle and feeders held up steady
the week closed off several points
taken as a whole Excessive receipts
of cattle today at all points struck
the market in a defenseless position,
and declines today range from 10 to
25 cents. The run here is 1900 and
in Chicago 10000. Heavy liquidation
Of short fed steers accounts for much
of the surplus today, and there are
different explanations of why so many
feeders decided to ship now The
most PLAUSIBLE one is that feeders see
a profit, and prefer to take it than
to wait, and take chances. Sick hogs
are hurrying some shipments, and the
usual desire to clean up before Christ
mas is having its influence Bulk of
the fed steers are off half a dollar
from week ago, selling at $3.50 TO
$500, best quarantine steers today at
$685. to S715, native cows selling
largely at $3.50 to 1915, bulls $3.50 to
$500, veals up to $1,000, the butcher

was liberal, $4,000 head to that trade
as compared with 10000 head same
week last year Trade eased off n
little at the end Of the week. and the
food Of fed cattle today shakes the
confidence ot country buyers a little
though they are still paying up 10

last week and the market Is barely
steady today run 5000 head. tor
$L32l2, bulk $500 to S725. Receipts
are fairly liberal and weight is iu-
oreasing. which puts the run a little
above fresh meat requirements. which
IS a point where packers begin to
fight the market relenuessly. They
simply viii not pack hogs at present
rates but demand a seven cent mar.
ket The sheep market acquired con
siderable bloom last week, though not
as much as it is said by sellers to be
entitled to. Outside points report ex.
,essive supplies today, and there is
l temporary backset though top lambs
brought $7S5 today, Dealers believe
leayy runs no ware at the expense of
ater supplies, which makes the situa-
ion look good for most fthe Colo
ado feeders. Light yearlings bring
ip to $500, wethers $500. ewes $4.65.
eeding lambs S6.25 to $7.15.

The judgment granted to William
Busey, in the sum of $500 by the coun-
ty court, by default, several months
ago, was set aside this morning on a
motion filed by Mayor J. G. Starr City
Attorney Simms testified that he had
filed a demurrer to the suit and that
in some way it had been lost and
never became a part of the records in
the case. When the. case was called
several months ago the city attorney
did not appear in court and the judg-
ment was granted the plaintiff by de-
fault. In view of the fact that the city
attorney believed the demurrer was
on file and a part of the records, Judge
Parks set aside the judgment and
granted a new trial of the case at the
next term of the county court. Busey
brought suit to recover $500, alleged
to be due him as salary for street
commissioner
