Kansas City Liuestock Prices
Kansas City Stock Yards,


 May 8, 1916. Beef steers fin ished last week slightly lower than the opening of the week, though showing some strength Wednesday and thereafter. But cher stuff closed a shade lower, and stockers and feeders sold quarter lower last days of the week. Receipts today are 1000 cattle, market generally 10 low CT. except that good killing year lings are steady, and stockers and feeders are as good as the close last week. Some mixed yearlings brought the top, S9. 40, and pulp fed Colorado steers. HOO to 400 lbs, sold at $8. 75 to S9.20. including a string of II loads from the Sugar Company at Scottsbluff, 1406 lbs. at 9.20, not as good by 10 cents as steers from. same people last Monday at $9.35. Some short yearlings from the Panhandle brought S9.0O. from MT. Cauble, Big Springs, who also had three loads of twos. 748 lbs at $8.60 Furneaux Bros., Trinity Mills, Texas, had two cars of yearlings in the quarantine division 554 lbs at $7.85. Heavier quaran- tines sold at S8.90 last week. Chicago overran it's estimate on cattle today, and the market there is lower, but the liberal supplies around the market cir cle today are regarded as a tenn porary condition, and expecta- tion for tomorrow is for a light run and stronger prices. Indi- cations point to heavy steers getting Into the speciality class at an earller date than usual this year. Last year no special ad- vance was made on finished heavy steers till July.
 Hogs sold five lower today on receipts of 14000 head. The opening was 5 to 10 lower. but the hog market has a way of gaining strength all through each daily session, and the close was the best point, top $9.85. bulk $9,55 to $9.75. Receipts generally are larger than ever before, and while a big June run is assured, there is some specu- lation as to whether or not the customary break in prices will be effective this year. owing to the unusually strong demand on packers for all kinds of meats and product. Texas is produc- ing more than twice as many hogs this year as last, which has it's effect Tn supplying the South ern trade through Ft. Worth, but the South IS a stronger buy CT this year.
 Receipts of sheep. lambs and goats today were 12000 head, of which 5000 were goats. Lambs and sheep sold strong, goats 10 higher. Top Colorado fed lambs brought $11.55, some 92 lb lambs $11. 30, a very strong price, Ari zona spring lambs 61 lbs, SIPS Arizona clipped ewes. no lbs, $500, a record price, Texas kill ing goats $5.6O to $500, Angora brushers $5.25 to $5.6O, Spanish brushers $4.O0 to $500. A liberal run of goats will arrive all through this week.

Satisfied With Little.

The Australian bushmen wish only a shelter from the rain, and if they can find a cave or overhanging rock that will shelter them they will build no house. If there is no such natural shelter they select a place where small trees or bushes grow together and weave the branches together and cover them with grass. This forms a roof to keep off the rain.

Cattle Cross Line.

CaleXico Chronicle: Five hundred
and fifty head of cattle, mostly steers,
were brought across the line from MeX-
leo into the United States yesterday
where they have been pasturing on
tie J. 3. Corrall ranch. The cattle were
passed over the line west of New river.
They were consigned by S. E. Bragg
and purchased by Mr.. Montaverde, a
cattle buyer for a large Los Angeles
packing house. The purchase price
was not given.
The cattle were all tested by d..
McKeller, chief veterinarian of the
crstom service, who came here from
San Diego for the purpose.
The $50 head were brought through
after payment of $500 in eXpol
duty, or SO head. There is no duty
imposed on the American side.
This is understood to be the larg-
est individual movement of cattle out
OF Lower California in this section
this year.
