Kansas City Stock Yards, March B.
Cattle receipts last week were 4.0u0 head
less than previous week, and 5000 less
than Corresponding week last year. The
reduction was largely due to hampered
shipping facilities, account of the storm,
and the result was an advance Of Is to IS
cents on killing grades. After Wednesday
there was slight weakness on killing
kinds. as buyers expected good receipts
this week. Stockers and feeders grew
timent was universal that the market was
bidding q last farewell to its low spot.
Receipts today are 1900 head and the
market on killers is steady to weak. stock
ers and feeders strong to 10c higher. The
first estimate for today was 1900. and
the market 6rmed UP q little when it be-
| came known that the supply would fall
short Of tho estimate. A trade secret.
which is having some effect on the will
| ingness Of buyers to make purchases to-
| day, is that cattle always take on good
after a storm, but light fills a week or
ten days after a storm; hence cattle
bought today are expected to show better
dressing results than similar cattle bought
last week. No prime natives are here to-
day, but they are Qu0table up to $9.26.
