 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Dec. 26.-Eight thousand cattle ar rived for today's market, and sales were steady to 10 higher, trading act i've, top steers S1O25. Hog receipts were l0,5O0, market Is to 20 higher, 1 top Sl0.50 There were 7,500 sheep and prices were 10 higher, lambs Sl325, another new high record.
 Beef Cattle.
 Missouri steers brought Sl025, and nine loads of pulp fed steers from Scottsbluff, Neb., first here this sea son, sold at $1O10 and S1020. around 1, 300 pounds average. Strictly prime steers are quotabie at Sll or a little better Medium to good short fed steers bring $SA5O to Sl0. Range of prices on beef steers is considerably narrower than two or three weeks ago, to the advantage of the lower priced steers. Far Western grass steers have sold here in the last week at SIPS to SS40. Cows continue firm, best around SS, medium cows S6.50 to a.75, cutters S5.75 10 $625, canncrs S5.25 to S5.65. A string of Colorado COWS sold today at S6.S5, S.l0 and S.S5, canners S5.25.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Best grades have sold steady to strong right along, but there was some decline last week on medium and common stock steers and stock calves. The market was strong today on all kinds. Panhandle twos weigh ing S66 pounds sold at $S.25, strong price, and medium stock steers at Nl5 were called higher. Fleshy feeders find outlet around SS. and common stock steers may be had around Sc
 Hogs.
 Packer competition was very strong today, choice heavy hogs selling to the packers up to Sl050. Medium weights sold largely at Sl0 to S10.45, lights 5000 to Sl025, bulk of sales 800 to SlO.45. Several lots of Ari- zona hogs were offered, most of them pig weights that went to stock hog buyers at S7 to SS.5O, a few weighing lS5 pounds at S9,35 and l50 pounds at So10 Average weights are increas- ing, but remain low, lS5 pounds last week, which means c lack of good lard hogs. Eastern killers are buying many of their hogs at VN'stern mar kcts, a feature that helps keep up prices, but packers engage in stronger competition among themselves than they have at any time in recent Evidently hogs are need1S
 Sheep and Lambs. Vi
 Prices continue to creep upward. ! Two lots of lambs sold at Sl3.25 to- day a new high record, and numerous lots brought S13l5, equal to previous high record, paid last Friday. Year lings are quotable up to Sll.50, wcth- CTS S1O, ewes S9.25, all these last three classes due for more money to put them in line with lamb prices. High ! prices for pclts is a factor in the strong markets, which makes ii more secure than in former years. Feed l ing lambs arc worth S1l.5O to SIP.
