Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. 30
Medium class steers slumped off q
to 40 cents more last week, as all the
markets were favored with a consid
cradle influx of that kind of cattle
from pastures in Kansas and Ne
braska particularly and from other
sections. Cows and heifers were
scarce, and sold firm, and quarantine
steers, though lacking quality, held up
steady, in line with butcher cattle
generally. Stock steeds eased off 20
cents, and feeders dropped down half
a dollar, because of the liberal supply
coming cff the grass now. The decline
in country classes were solely be-
cause of the large supply, as the de-
mand for them was greatest Of the
season, and country buying the heav-
lest More than $4,000 cattle went
out to country points, about As per
cent OF the total supply for the week.
Receipts today are heavy, $4,000 head,
including $500 calves. The market is
following the same lines as last week,
medium steers shade lower, cows

$40. Cold weather and frosts In last
few days will hurry shipments from

purchasers of stock cattle or feeders
will find the next week or two the
