MARKET REPORT

Kansas OlUy 0UOCk dIuS, pcpO. d,
1912. Though the cattle market still
bore the brand of steady to weak"
it has been wearing for three or four
weeks yesterday, there was a shade
better feeling evident. Quarantine
cattle sold steady. The run today, is
1900 head, four thousand more than
the estimate for today, and the mark
best Steers here yesterday brought
80. so, and the top today is SO. IS, in
dicating that prices have softened
little since a week ago throughout
the entire cattle structure. Pasture
men shiIped lightly Sunday, but they
loaded a good many cattle yesterday.
These cattle are 25 to SO cents lower
than a week ago, at S6.65 to 1915.
Quarantine cattle carried more quail
ity yesterday than heretofore, tops
reaching $3.50. The run from the
South today is 100 cars, market is
about steady, steers at 81. 10 to S6.06,
including some light ones from Ark
ansas at the lower figure Travellers
from Oklahoma arrived here today
say that country is suffering for rain,
and unless it gets it this week we
erns next Monday. Kansas got a
good rain last night and yesterday.
Controversy as to corn probabilities
has about ceased, all agreeing that a
bumper crop is assured. Demand for
country kinds is at maximum, 10000
head going to the country last week
from here. Feeders are half dollar
lower than last week at .25 to S7.25
for most sales. Stockers have held
up almost steady, sales largely at 81,
10 to $685.. Hogs came in more liber-
ally today, though the total was only
TOO head for the day. The market is
steady to lower on light hogs, with
top of 1882 l-2, but butchers and
heavies are off 10 cents today, bulk of
sales at S. to So. 10, The spread in
prices is widening, which puts count
ry buyers against hard proposition,
to get hogs worth the money at coun-
try shipping points. Sheep and lambs
are strong today, run 1000 head
Lambs brought S7.90 today, out of the
same lot that sold at $685. yesterday.
Feeding lambs are worth $40 for
best, feeding yearlings 1925, and feed
ing wethers $40 for best, prices
within close range of the prices the
packers are paying for fat stock.
