KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET

Market Correspondent.
Q ooooooooooooooooc c

Kansas City Stock Yards. April -
More seasonable weather last week
permitted shippers to land more cat
tie on the market than they have been
able TO do for some weeks past, but
at that there was not enough came in
TO put even dent in the market Re,
ceipts here amounted to 27,000 head
for the week, which was an increase
of five thousand over the previous
week, but it was six thousand head
less than same week last year. March
closed with-S shortage of thirty thou
sand cattle here, from last year. and
the market has received a substantial
uplift during the month. Middle class
streets and butcher grades have taken
on most OF the gain, the best steers
standing about like a month ago
Quarantine steers look half a dollar
higher than the first of March. The
supply today is only 5000 head here,
including fiftep loads of quarantines.
Weather explanations do not answer
for the slim run today, but it has solid
flied the feeling that the country is
bare of supplies Chicago expected
$4,000 head today. but got only three
fourths Of that number. Naturally buy
ers are uneasy, and it was not difficult
to coax them into paying strong to 10
higher prices for cattle today. 1t is
fortunate that the supply was light to-
day, as buyers are complaining of the
meat outlet, and were prepared to ad.
minister a severe slap on the wrist
today had plentiful receipts arrived
Top steers sold at SS.15 today, against
$500 paid last Tuesday other steers
at $500, and bulk at $3.50 and up
wards, quarantine steers at $5.75 to
$780, COWS up to $6.25, heifers $500
stockers at $500 to $625, feeders s5.5C
to $3.50.
The markets have begun to show
shortage in hog receipts, all of then
falling off heavily in March, as com
} pared with same month last year. The
big bulge in prices during the month
lis the direct result, and the market Is
stin going up. There was only one
setback last week, and new records
were set today on all kinds. Tops
sold at $500, and bulk of sales ranged
from $3.50 to $685.. While the ad
vance of $1.25 to $14O made during
March is not expected to be duplicated
in April, yet further gains are expect
ed above the present high range
Sheep receipts continue fairly lib
eral, though somewhat less than a
| this period last year. Prices remair
firm, closing last week with some ad
: vance, and opening today fully stead!
: with the high level reached. Eight!
pound lambs sold at 1885, today q
h., lambs at $3.50, 64 lb. lambs a
: $3.50, and some SO lb choice sprini
lambs at $1S.50. The market for sprinl
, lambs will fiatten out after this week
Yearlings sold at $3.50 this morning
