CATTLE MARKET

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS. Dec. l6.--Too many fed cattle at all the markets las, week injected con siderable weakness into the market on that kind. particularly steers, and though stock cattle and feeders held up steady the weak closed off sev- eral points taken as whole. Ex- cessivc receipts of cattle today at all points struck the market in q defeuseless position. and declines to- day range from 10 to 2s cents. The run here is i7,000 and in Chicago 10000. Heavy liquidation of shor, fed steers accornts for much of the surplus today. and there are differ ent explanations of why SO many feeders decided to ship now. The most plausible one is ,ha, feeders sec profit. and prefer 10 take it than 'o wait. and take chances. Sick hogs arc hurrying some shipments. and the usual desire to clean np be- fore Christmas is having it's infiu- ence. Bulk of the fed steers arc of half dollar from q week ago. selling at $os0 to 800. bes, quar- antine steers today at s6sS to N.is. native cows selling largely at S5.s0 ,o &7s. bulls s4s0 10 5000. veals up to $i000. the butcher classes not showing as much decline as steers. as compared with 10000 head same week last year.
