CATTLE MARKET.
Special Correspondence

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Dec. 4-Killing cattle sold pretty we'll last week, killers filling good or ders from day to day. All quaran tine restrictions on the movement of cattle here were removed Saturday Receipts were l2,000 cattle, steers steady, cows strong, stockers and feeders quiet The hog supply was 10000, market 10 to IS higher, top Sl0, sheep 10 higher. lambs S12.35.
 Beef Cattle.
 Branded yearlings brought S10S5, and some pretty good heavy steers sold at Sl09O, strictly prime steers worth up to SIP. The S109O steers today were mates of steers from same shipper at S10.9O last Wednesday. Medium to plain short fed steers sold at SS.50 to Sl0.5O, some Missouri steers at S1050, l,40O pounds average, that cost a.50 here in September A train of g cars of cattle from Red Rock, Mont, arrived, containing ten cars of steers around l 200 pounds a, S.S5, and 13 cars of COWS, of which one car brought SIPS, one car g, the main drove S665, balance SC to S6.40, few throw-outs $525. The COW market was a shade higher. including canners, the latter at S450 to $.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 On the discovery of the harmless nature of the disease affecting the sick cattle here all embargoes have been lifted and trade is on a normal basis Receipts of stockers and feeders were light, and the feeling was weak, prices quotable at S5.5O to I5O for steers, and $ to g for stock COWS and heifers.
 Hogs.
 The morning estimate of 5000 head was raised to 10000, and there was a very active market at 10 to Is higher prices, the close 20 higher in some cases. The top was Sl0, bulk of sales S94O to S990, medium weights up to S990, light hogs S9.75. The market showed the good effect of the order buying trade, which was operating to- day, top here being 10 cents above nearest Missouri River market, ano only 10 cents under Chicago top to- day, bulk of sales here today actually above bulk in Chicago. Killers have a place for hogs in practically unlim ited numbers, and present price ad justment is making them good money. |
 Sheep and Lambs. The market was stronger, and there | were several important features. Four cars of pea fed lambs from the Monte | Vista district sold at the top price, Sl235, 76 pounds average Four cars of feeding lambs frop Roswell, N M., sold at $ll, new high figure for that class, 60 pounds. A carload oi prime Kansas fed Nevada wethers and yearlings, no pounds, sold at S975. An offer of Sl025 for the yearlings md S850 for the wethers in this lot vas refused. The wethers cost S450 md the yearlings g here in August Fat ewes sell at SIPS to S8.25.
