LIGHT CATTLE
GENERALLY UP
Other Grades Weak to Down
Over 11-Market Circuit
During Week

KANSAS CITY, March 23.-(P-
GU. S. D. A.)-Cattle trade this
week around the 11-market circuit
was featured by further price up
turns on the lighter weights Of fed
steers and yearlings, some centers
reporting gains of $1,000 cents on
light yearlings. Low grade steers
of light weight occupied especially
strong position. Demand remained
narrow for medium weight and
heavy steers, with weak to lower
values prevailing at markets where
this contingent formed a fair pro-
portion Of the supply. A liberal
| movement of dairy calves at
northern live stock centers prompt
ed sharp declines on vealers, prices
on this class previously having
been relatively high. StockerS and
feeders ruled unevenly higher with
country demand broad for thin
light weight stockers. Aggregate
receipts were around 10000 as
| compared with 163,099 last week
| and 1853 500 the corresponding per-
iod a year ago.
Values on hogs continued to
fIuctuate from day to day but trade
was not nearly as cratic as last
week and two weeks ago. Closing
prices are unevenly 10@50c lower
than a week ago, with the most
| decline shown at Chicago and ST.
Louis. The closing top at Chicago
was S11.05. Total offerings were
| around 500, 700, an increase of u.s.
600 over last week but 74,200 short
of a year ago.
Fed wooded lambs are closing the
week at generally strong to Csc
higher prices. Scattered shipments
| Of native spring lambs were recelv-
ed around the loop and several
| decks Of Arizona springerS were
| offered ia Kansas City. Late sales
of Arizonas were SOC lower than
initial consignments. Aged sheep
were scarce at firm to higher
values. Chicago had a top Of SITS
