 LIVE STOCK LETTER
Kansas City Stock Yards,
 EahrnlarN q lQon

February 9, 1920.
 Hog prices today were 50 to 70 cents higher and close to the 15 cent level. Cattle sold slowly at steady to strong prices and sheep were strong to 25 cents higher. The rally in the market is due to sharp declines last week that cut down receipts today, and indicate that the country will adopt holding policy for an improve ment in the market.
 TOday's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 12,0OO cattle, 11,000 hogs, 11,00O sheep, compared with 10000 cattle, ll,000 hogs and 7,500 sheep a week ago, and 16,l5O cattle, 23,150 hogs, and 5000 sheep q year ago.
 Beef Cattle Receipts Smaller.
 Though cattle receipts were mate rially smaller than a week ago, there was no rebound in the market. Chi cago reported lower prices, and here trade held steady to strong. Quality of the offerings was much the same as last week with the bulk of the steers selling at Sl1.50 to $l3.00 top $13.75. Some common killing steers brought Sl0.OO to S10.50. Butcher cattle were steady, exceptions stronger, bulls steady and veal calves strong to 20 cents higher. Veal calves sold up to Sl6.00.
 Stockers and Feeders Decline.
 Last weeks decline in fat cattle cut down demand for stockers and feed CTS, including fleshy kinds, sold at Sl0.0O to $12.25, few above S11.25, and stockers sold mostly at $9.5O to S10.50. Good stock cows and heifers were firm, plain and common kinds slow sale.
 Hogs Sell 75c Higher. The market opened with traders and shippers paying 75 cents higher prices. Owing to lower bids by pack CTS in Chicago, packers here did not follow the opening advance, and in the final dealings bought hogs about 20 cents above Saturday. The top price today was $15.00, and packers top $1450, with the bulk of hogs selling at $14.25 to s14.S5. ...
 Sheep and Lambs Strong.
 Prices for best sheep and lambs were strong to l5 cents higher, and plainer kinds were steady. Lambs sold up to $19.65. Receipts were fair ly liberal, but a good clearance was reported. Most of the lambs sold at S19.O0 to $19.50, and ewes $11.50 to $12.25. There is much better demand for mutton and lamb than for beef or pork.
 Following last weeks five day auc- tion of horses and mules, the opening supply this week at the horse barn is liberal. A large number of buyers, together with numerous orders are in evidence in the trade. Prices are fully steady.
