MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Novem-
Der 9th, 1917. Cattle receipts today
were 10000 same number as arrived
yesterday, market steady, top $500.
Hog receipts were 10000 head, mar
ket 10 to 20 lower, top $17.1O. Sheep
and lamb supply was 1000, market
steady to 25 lower, top fat lambs
$16.10, feeders $16.75.
Beef Cattle
Well finished two year old Missouri
steers brought SIS, best here this
week Weighty grass beef steers sold
at $1,000 to $3.50, western range beef
steers $8.75 to $11. Killers apparently
need beef, and the moderate receipts
here this week have sold at steady
prices, notwithstanding lower prices
at Chicago both yesterday and today.
Cows have been selling good, but
heavy cows were not quite as keen to-
day. Gamers continue firm, at $3.50
to $500, good range cows $6.75 to
$3.50, best natives around $40. Veals
bring up to $13.
Stockers and Feeders
More buyers are here this week,
and prices are stronger, especially on
feeders, which are wanted to consume
soft corn, as well as good corn. High
priced hay is holding stock cattle buy
ers back, but good many young cat
tie are wanted to run in stalk fields.
Stock calves are weak, and selling at
nargain prices. Stock steers range
rom ST to $1O.5O, feeding steers, al
most finished, yesterday at STATS.
Hogs
Packers are insisting on lower pric-
es this week, and the market is going
down reluctantly, prices 10 lower to-
day than the close yesterday. Best
heavy hogs brought $17.10, best med
ium weight hogs same price, best
lights $1,000, bulk of sales $16.4O to
SIT, pigs s15.75 to s165O. The an
nouncement of minimum hog price of
$3.50 yesterday had the effect of
stimulating immune stock hog trade,
present prices for them around $3.50.
As generally understood, the cotton
statement means sliding scale for
hog prices, per hundred pounds, thir-
teen times the price of corn per bus
hel.
Sheep and Lambs
Bidding has been lower each day
recently, best killing lambs at $16.1O
today having been sold at $16.75 yes
terday, with a bid of $16.5O then.
Native lambs sell around $15.75
Feeders stopped at $16.5O yesterday,
but a fancy lot brought $16.75 today.
Oklahoma wethers sold at S1O TX to
$3.50, feeding wethers $9.75 to $11,
goats $6.25 to SIPS, kid goats $500,
breeding ewes $10.50 to S14.5O.
