ONLY SHORT FEDS
 SHOW DECLINE IN PRICE
Special Correspondence.

ISpeciaI Correspondence.
 l KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Dec o.-Liberai marketing of shor, fed steers last week caused a sligh, reduction in prices on fair to good ones. which formed the bulk of the run. Other markets also had heavy runs of fed cattle. which made the decline of 10 to IS cents look very moderate. Other classes of cattle held lip steady The run here to- day is 10000 head, somewhat larger than was expected, and the majority of the supply is again of the short fed variety A fair degree of finish has been put on most of the offer ings. sales ranging from N.OO to $9.O today. These cattle arc making money for the feeders SO far, hence there Is a disposition to replace them in feed lots; and turn the same trick again. Therein is found some diff euIty; as indicated by an advance of 10 cents on feeding steers today, account of the strong demand for them. and the relative scarcity, while the killing cattle are selling barely steady. Shipments to the country from here last week footed up ls,O0O head. as compared with 10000 head same week last year Top stock steers sell at N.i0. and best feeders N.s0 partly finished steers going to the country up to $500 These arc the highest prices ever paid for com mercial cattle. the best year ago selling around $s.7s. Range cattle arc about all in. the season closing with beef steers up to N3S. cows and heifcrs $655, stockers and feed CTS N.25, the seasons pinnacle. Fed quarantine steers reached N.U to- day, cows S650. low grade Southern stuff $3.50 to $500.
 A run of 10000 hogs came in today and sold 5 to 10 higher, top N.o0, bulk S.6s to S&X. Hogs are sell ing on fresh meat basis, hence all
 
 sectional lines have been wiped out. and prices here arc as high as at Chi cago or any other market. Quality Is good, and is improving. but the heavy fresh meat demand. and the strong competition. keeps prices SO high that pork cellars are not being replenished. a bull indica- ion on future markets.
 Run of sheep are under positive orders not to advance the market, he packers realizing it could easily become a runaway market. but prices ire working upward in spite of this. Best wethers are worth $4.6s. ewes lt $400 to $4.35, ycarlings up to s6.50. feeding lambs 5000 to $6.s0.

 State Gets Advertising.
 Arizona obtained a great deal of good advertising this week through the medium of LcsIic's Weekly. Two pictures and a reference to the state advantageously placed attract atten- ton to Arizona and its prospects. | One of the attractive pictures in the Weekly was that of Arizonians bath ing in the pool outdoors at Castle Hot Springs in the depth of winter and to enhance the effect of all this the picture was one of a number showing what people arc doing in different sections of the country in December.
 The picture of the first Fl Paso K Southwestern train ever to enter Tucson, which interesting event took place on November 20 last. The crowds around the train testify to the interest taken in the arrival of Inc new line and its train in the Old Pueblo.
 The last proposition that draws attention to Arizona comes from the 'ock slopes of Mohave county.
