KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET.
Cattle and Lambs Stronger While
 Hogs Are Slightly Lower.

Hogs AIt 0Hkh@i- '""~'f
 Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. l4.-- Tho receipts today were fairly liber- al. trade in fat cattle was active at strong prices. Shipping demand from the Eastern seaboard was in evi- dence and there was a good outlet to both local killers and country buyers. Hog prices here were down lO to ID cents with trade active. Chicago was slow 25 to 35 cents lower. Sheep were steady and lambs strong, with top lambs reaching $14, the highest price paid in more than year.
 Today's Receipts. Receipts today were 12,000 cattle, 14.OOO hogs, and 1000 sheep, com pared with 13,000 cattle, 13,000 hogs, and 5000 sheep a week ago, and 9,2OO cattle, 13,600 hogs, and 15,425 sheep year ago.
 Beef Cattle.
 Trade in fat cattle opened early and a large eastern shipping demand soon forced local killers into active compe- tition. In the average quality of the offerings was much the same as for some time past. The best steers here, mostly 1250 to 1850 pounds grades sold at $7.75 to $8, and the good me dium to heavy eight grades brought ST to $7.65. Fewer cattle are selling be- low $6.50, than month ago. Cows, heifers and calves are steady with re- ceipts light.
 StOckers and Feeders.
 Demand for thin cattle was active and indicated that many feeders need .I rta c fanHIF1u and other light weight steers to carry thru to grass. Cows and heifers were steady.
 Hogs.
 Chicago had 69,000 hogs today, and the market there was 25 to 35 cents lower. Here receipts were moderate but declines elsewhere caused 10 to 15 cents lower prices. The top was $9.65 and bulk $9 to $9.60. Trade was ac- tive as soon as the decline was estab lished and closing prices were the strongest of the day. Pigs sold up to S9.35.
 Sheep and Lambs. Several punches of Colorado lambs sold at IA to 15 cents above the top price last week and the highest since September, 1920. Other good lambs sold at $13.50 to $13.75 and most of the ewes at $7 to SIPS. Some feeding lambs brought S11.50 to $12.50.
 Horses and Mules.
 Trade in horses was quiet with prices unchanged from last week. In- dications are that demand at the mule auction tomorrow will be more active.
