WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, February IA, 1916.-The steer market was un- satisfactory last week, but there is recovery today, sales strong to higher. Buyers wanted some good to choice cattle today, but top was $S.50, being held down by lack of finish in the offerings. Some plain cattle of good weights sold at $7.40 to $7.75 today, this class getting least advance. Some of the shippers here last week sent their cattle to other markets in the hope of getting more money, but every lot forwarded lost money by the operation, losses ranging from $50 to $150 car. Butcher cattle held up firm last week, and are strong today. Cattlemen observe with satisfaction the trend of COW prices, both killers and breeders, for after all, the COW is the basis fthe cattle trade. Receipts today are 12,000 head, and trade was active from the start, the market called strong to 10 higher in all de- partments. Some rough western pulp fed teers weighing 1890 lbs. sold to killers at $7.75, and pulp fed bulls brought $5 to $5.50. A string of Co., dorado yearlings and twos sold at ST to $76O, five or six loads at the top, showing some strength in stock cat tie. Most of the feeders bring $6.75 to SIPS. Some medium to common quarantine steers sold at $640 to S6.65, and some plain Oklahoma cat tie from Chickasha in the native divi- sion, brought S6.70 to $7.15, 800 to 115O lbs. Present prices are are ma terially higher than year ago at this time.
 Large Run of Hogs
 Hogs arrived to the number of l2,O0O head, and sales were largely teady. Packers tried to buy them cheaper during the first half of the session, but finally paid strong prices, up to $8.05, bulk of sales $7.6O to $500. Receipts at most of the markets overran estimates, hence the attempt to buy cheaper, but good order buy ing demand, with probability of light CT supplies later in the week over came the attempt to depress prices, and bolstered the late market. Pigs have been in strong demand during the past week, selling at s6.75 to $7.50. Hogs are pretty high now, in view of the large receipts, but pro- phets predict big advance between now and summer.
 Lambs Sold for $11.1O
 Sheep and lambs sold 15 to 20 high CT today, lambs going to $11.10, and ewes to S7.60, bulk of the good lambs $11.00. Feeding lambs sold Friday at $l0.30, and today at $1050. Receipts were II y000 today, and total supply is running moderate. Prices are at a point where packer buyers are held to strict accountability for poor dress ing purchases, hence they watch closely for finish and quality.
