WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. 29.
killers filled larger orders for cat
tie last week, and the buying for the
country was on a bigger scale than
ever, buyers from Iowa, Illinois, and
other heavy buying states being aug
mented by Kansas and Missouri men,
who bought stock cattle for wheat
grazing and other roughness that has
become available since the rains. All
prices closed the week as high as
any time this summer or fall on prac-
tically all kinds Of cattle. The sup
ply today is $4,000 head, and aside
from some weakness on corn fed
steers, everything is selling steady,
stock cattle and feeders stronger.
Ninety per cent of the cattle are
steers, divided between the cornfeds
a very large percentage Of Panhan-
dies, and more Colorados than any
previous day this season. Prime
steers might reach 9.25, although the
tops today stopped around 800, heif-
ers at the same figure. Kansas pas
ture cattle sold at the highest pric-
es Of the season last week and the
sales today are close to steady at
$50 to $50. Extreme scarcity Of she
stuff here caused a decline on that
kind at Chicago last week to be dis
regarded today, Gamers selling up
to 4.5O. and heavy cows at 700.
Horned Colorados sold at 200 to
