KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET. Cattle Active and Higher. With Mod
 crate Advance in Hogs.

Kansas City Stock Yards, May 31. Tho some livestock markets were closed Monday and there was gen eral holiday at packing houses and in other trade lines, fat cattle prices here were 25 to 40 cents higher, with the trade showing considerable snap. Hogs were strong to 10 cents higher, with a close clearance, while sheep were steady and lambs 25 cents lower.
 Today's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 7,5O0 cattle, 1000 sheep, compared with 15,000 attle, 15,000 hogs, and 16,000 sheep q week ago, and II 300 cattle, 17,400 hogs, and 6,500 sheep year ago.
 Beef Cattle.
 Killers were in the yards early to- day, and bought fat cattle freely at |25 to 40 cents higher prices. The ac- itivity in the trade was more pro- nounced than for some time past. Some steers and heifers mixed sold at |$8.50 and weighty steers up to $S.25. The bulk of the fed steers sold at I$7.25 to $500. Moderate runs are ex- pected next week as last weeks de- cline and today's holiday at some mar |kets checked the loading. Cows and heifers were quoted 15 to 25 cents higher. Veal calves were steady to strong.
 Stockers and Feeders. With few country buyers here trade in stock and feeding cattle was dull with prices about the same as last weeks low point. Thin cattle are selling at the lowest prices of the past several years, and those who have grass or rough feed can pick up some good bargains.
 Hogs.
 Hogs were 10 to 15 cents higher than last weeks close, with trade ac- tive. All the offerings were cleaned up before noon. The top price was SITS, and bulk of sales SIPS to $7.65. Pigs sold at $8 to $8.75. The active demand today together with moderate receipts expected later in the week has created the belief that the market lis in for a general rally.
 Sheep and Lambs
 Lambs were 25 cents lower and sheep about steady compared with the low close last week. Spring lambs sold up to SLIPS, ewes $3.50 to S3.75, and clipped wethers $4. A good clearance was reported. Some California spring lambs brought $11.25.
 Horses and Mules.
 Trade in the horse and mule divi- sion is quiet, with no quotable change in prices.

 America, says Haywood, is passing thru it's greatest economic crisis, due to "the vast conspiracy of group of capitalists against the working class as whole"
 From all sides in America" he adds, lone can be easily convinced that the capitalists of the United States, who are the owners of the land and industrial undertakings, are as ready to destroy the workmen for their own benefits as to destroy na- lures beauty"
