KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT
,444449@4%%+4@4eg
Kansas City Stock Yards,


Active demand advanced cattle
prices 10 to Is cents in the average,
from last weeks close and spots as
much as 25 cents. This gain added to
the substantial advance last week took
the market into the highest position
for some time past. Receipts were
moderate. Hog prices were 10 to Is
cents lower, but the market closed
active and in 3 stronger position than
at the opening. Both packers and
shippers bought freely Lamb prices
were 15 to 25 cents lower than last
weeks close and sheep were steady.
Today's Receipts
Receipts today were 10000 cattle,
1900 hogs and 5000 sheep COM
pared with 10000 cattle, 10000 hogs
and 5000 sheep a week ago, and 49,
900 cattle, 14,225 hogs and 1850
sheep year ago.
Beef Cattle
The steer market was strong to 20
cents higher than last weeks close,
mostly 10 to Is cents up This adj
vance has taken steer prices so to rs
cents above a week ago and the high
est for some time past. There was
an active demand in all divisions and
early clearances were reported. Med
ium and strong weight steers are be-
ing regarded more faverably than in
preceding weeks. Good strong and
heavy weight steers sold at $3.50 and
light weights up to $40. None showed
much finish. The bulk of the fed
steers sold at $3.50 to $3.50, with
meal and hull fed grades $7.75 to
$8.75. Cows and heifers were 10 TO
25 cents higher and back to the high
point of the past month Most of the
offerings were medium cows that
brought $3.50 to $3.50 Veal calves
weer steady.
Stockers and Feeders
All classes of stock and feeding cat
tie were in active demand at strong to
| 25 cents higher prices. Weather con-
ditions remained favorable for feed
ing operations, and tended to increase
demand for thin cattle The improved
demand for heavy fat cattle is in
creasing the call for good quality half
fat steers.
Hog receipts, 1900, were the larg-
est of the year, but of this number
some 1000 were direct to packers here
from other markets. This large di-
rect movement indicates that packers
can buy at a sufficient price margin
elsewhere and ship here for slaughter.
The market ruled 10 to Is cents lower
than last weeks close, but late prices
were stronger than early sales. The
140 to $50 pound hogs sold at $11.404
to $11.70; 25G to 800 pounds S11.30
to S1165; packing sows $10.25 to
S1075 and stock, hogs and pigs SLIPS
to $12.
Sheep and Lambs
Lambs were Is to 25 cents lower.
AS soon as the decline was estab-
lished trade became active. Sheep
were scarce and in active demand.
Good to choice lambs sold at SIP to
S1240 fair $11.50 to $12; feeding
lambs $11.50 to $12.35. Fat yearlings
brought $40, Navajo ewes $3.50 and
breeding ewes So.

of possibility that the police will be
called upon to engage in the pursuit
of this class Of criminals.

of another branch of the Government
in order to enable them to enforce
the same.
"A small group have been sworn in
as special prohibition enforcement
agents. but such an arrangement is
not satisfactory solution of the prob.
lens with which the department is con-
fronted.
1T is recommended that section %,
title 2, of the national prohibition act,
which bears No. II. r. OSLO, Public No.
Sc, Sixty-sixth Congress, be amended
so that members of the Metropolitan
Police Force of the District of Column
bia will have the same authority as
other officers of the Government in
enforcing the laws relating to the

liquors under the laws of the United
States.

forcement of the liquor and gambling

direction of the aior and Superin-
tendent of police, with the approval of
the Commissioners of the District of

ing that such sum or any part thereof
may be expended either for the pur-
chase of evidence or the payment of
informers, or both, which procedures
are absolutely essential to any meas.

ArmOred Car Request.
1.-THE Detective Bureau should be
provided with a sufficient number of
high-powered automobiles to enable
the men assigned thereto to respond
promptly to all emergency calls and
to successfully pursue those guilty of
crime fleeing in high-powered automo-
biles.
I "A limited number of armored or
semi-armored cars should be available
with such equipment as machine
guns, tear gas and other modern equip
ment, prepared to answer any emer-
gency and to pursue bandits known
to be armed and having committed Of
lenses.
"As is we'll known, the bandit situa-
ton throughout the country has be-
come a grave one. Almost daily the
newspa pers contain accounts of crimes
committed by such bandits armed with
the most modern weapons and not
hesitating to fire upon pursuing Off
GERS, and 1t is felt that our peace offi'
GERS should be entitled to such protec-
ton as an armored car would afford.

by the tedious--and oft-time ineffective
method of communicating with the
stations and bureaus on a line into
the Central Police Telephone Bureau
the messages being transmitted by
word of mouth, copied by the clerk at
the stations and later transferred to
the official telephone record.
1.-THE installation of the teletype
system would eliminate the method
now employed, which gives no assur-
ance of accuracy, and would provide
a mechanical system whereby the mes
sages are written or typed at head
quarters and simultaneously repro
duced at all stations and bureaus.

I'm this connection it is considered
that every member of the force should
have the same authority in the en-
forcement of this act as of any other
criminal law within the District Of
Columbia, and in order that the de-
partment may be successful in deal
ing with violations of the national
