 Hogs Decline Moderately.

Kansas City Stock Yards, March 6. --The depression in lamb prices late last week proved only temporary and today with normal supplies offered the market rallied 50 cents, top $15.5o- A heavy run in Chicago weakened the hog market and declines spread to other points where receipts were mod crate. Here the market was down ID cents. Cattle receipts were the small est of any Monday this year, and prices were 10 to 15 cents higher, url- der an active demand.
 Today's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 5000 cattle, 12, ,0O0 hogs and 5000 sheep, compared with 13,O0O cattle, 10000 hogs and 1000 sheep a week ago, and 14,600 cattle, 13,100 hogs, and 11,500 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle.
 Trade in fat cattle opened early at strong to IS cents higher prices, and retained the advance turnout the ses- sion. The market closed firm. There was a good demand for fat classes from Eastern Seaboard points, and heavy steers were wanted on an ex- port order. Early sales were mostly at $7.75 to $S.25. Pulp fed Colorado steers sold up to $8.05. Heavy cows were 10 to 15 cents higher, and there stronger. Veal calves, heifers and bulls were fully steady,

At the decline both packer: and shippers bought freely. Pigs solc at $9.75 to $10.50. If shippers would distribute supplies more evenly tht market would be less liable to decline

 Nine double-decks of fed lambs solc at S15.50, and other lambs STATS tC | S15.40 or 30 cents above last week: close Practically no fat sheep were offered They were quoted nominally higher.
