Kansas City Stock Yards, March 10,
1917.-Embargoes on live stock ship
ments held receipts down today, al
though there was fair run of cattle
here, $500 head. The market was
strong to 10 higher, best steers here
fattened on beet pulp, selling at
S11.75, a record price for that class of
cattle. Hogs today 1000, market 10
higher at the start, top S15. Sheep
and lambs sold 10 to Is higher at the
start, receipts $500, top lambs $14.S0.
Beef Cattle
The price limit on prime steers has
been determined here recently, but it
is somewhere around $3.50 for the
right kind Medium kinds at S10.25
to SLIPS, and steers brought SO to-
day to killers very little better than
stock cattle. Pulp steers made new
high decords today at S11.75, weights
1924 lbs, drove of Sc head bringing
that price, with other sales of that
class at $1O.S5 to S11.65, and some
plain and rough pulp steers at s9.65
to S10.35. Two cars pulp fed bulls
sold at 1910 today, 511 lbs. average.
One car of Oklahoma steers and heif-
ers sold in the quarantine division
today at S1O.35, 629 lbs. average,
record price for that class. Cows and
heifers and bulls were strong today,
veal calves 25 higher, up to $12.
Stockers and Feeders
Prices ruled 10 to Is higher first
half Of last week, but after the strike
began to look threatening demand fell
off, and the close was n quarter low
er Demand is back to normal today
and the market is as high as We'd
nesday of last week, stock steers up
to $40 today, feeders S1O.5O. Killers
bid on all fleshy feeders, and country
buyers have paid up to 5000 in the
last week.
Hogs
Early prices were highest today,
sales up to SIS, bulk of sales Sl4.40
to $14.9O Railroad embargoes in
terrupted shipping orders, and fewer
hogs went to order buyers today as a
result. Receipts are not sufficient for
the needs of killers, and packers here
are shipping in a great many hogs
bought at Omaha, Sioux City and Fl.
Worth. The general belief is that the
market will work higher, though not
as rapidly as in the last few weeks.
Sheep and Lambs
After some depression on lambs
middle Of last week the market has re
covered, sales 10 TO Is higher today,
and the top only cents under ex-
treme top of the season, reached the
first Of last week. The good lambs
sold at S14.75 and $14.SO today, some
fair to good lambs around S14.5O, and
heavy lambs worth around Sl4.25.
Prime ewes worth $12.25, some Mex
lean wethers at S12 today, 70 pounds
average Feeding lambs sell at
s13.25 to s14, shearing lambs slightly
