Kansas City Stock Market

Kansas City, Oct. 2O.-Liberal re-
ceipts of cattle for the weeks opening
run placed plain to common grades in
a weak position. Best grades were
fully steady and sold readily. Liber-
al receipts of hogs caused another gen.
eral decline in prices with the market
turning back to the low point Of last
week. Sheep were in moderate supply
and sold 25 to 50 cents higher.
Today's arrivals were 10000 cattle.

COTTON MARKETS
Quiet and Without
Much FeatuTe-No Change
In Spot Department.

SATURDAY AlLcEIiOOls jan 10,
Nothing startling happened in the
cotton market during the short session
and net changes were small. Some
little pressure "a shown a little while
after the opening, the dip extending
nearly half a cent, but supporting or
ders came in and recovery followed,
indicating that the bears have pretty
thoroughly worked their influences for
the moment. But little reason was
given for the early selling, SO il was
assumed TO be largely from habit, al
though some C~outended that bearlsn
weekly statistics oecasioned some OF it,.
The fact, however, was that, accord
ing TO Hester, there was a slight rel
alive decrease in the visible supply Of
American, Spinners took 274 600 bales,
against 241 600, while movement into
sight was $4,000 bales ahead of a year
ago. The relative loss in visible was
thus about $4,000 bales.
The May option in New York opened
at 23.56c, touched % Sic, then worked
up to 23.74c. only later to work off
to IS soc before support improved, Re-
coyery before the close extended to
20, zoe, tone being called very steady
and the list showing a net loss Of 10
to a gain Of I points, In New Orleans
January closed 10 points to the bad,
but October was unchanged, with final
tone steady.
Liverpool on Monday should come 20
to IA points to the good.
Spots were generally unchanged in
the belt and business light, New Or
leans sold 2,73S bales and Houston l.47l,
but Memphis sold none. In the local
market strict low middling was ad-
vanced 100 points, but the rest of the
grades were left unchanged,
Weather conditions in the belt were
some better in the west and central
belt, but elsewhere more rains were
reported. and some adviCes are telling
of how little winter work has been
possible on account Of so much bad
weather. The indications are for fair
and not much change over the week.
