Life-long republicans, who had op
posed Presldont Wilson up to tho tlmo

who havo followed him from tho" bo
ginning, expressed rcnowod confidence
In his wise leadership.

tion of principles, and wired It to tho

Kansas City Market
Aprl 30, 1917 Cattle receipts were
10,000 today, steers weak in spots,
otherwise the market was strong, top
$12.40. Hog supply was 10,000, mark
et steady to 10 lower, ton 8lri.HK.
Sheep and lambs sold 25 to 40 higher
minus with wet fleeces at $16.90, re
ceipts 6,000.
Ikef Cattle.
The supply of pulp fed steers was
only one half ns heavy today ns on
recent Mondays, nnd there will bo
few of that class nfter this week.
Best natives sold here nt $12.40, prime
steers worth up to $12.75, short fed
steers, $10.25 to $11.75, a certain
kind of steers to killers down to $9.
Pulp steers did not average ns good
quality ns usunl today, sales mostly
at $11.65 to $12.25. A few advance
shipments from North Texas sold in
the Quarantine division at S10 to
$10.40, weights around 1,100 lbs, some
sra-s lb Oklahoma steers in that divi
sion today at $9.90. Bulls sell un to
$10.25, quarantine bull3 $9, cows
$10.50, veals $13. April receipts show
a good Increase ovep last April at all
markets, due to forced marketing,
and receipts are expected to drop off
in may.
Stockers and Feeders.
Tho war situation gives all futures
a bullish stimulus, but not many cat
tle are wanted for immediate feed
ing, a few sales at $9.60 to $10, some
near fat steers around $11, stock
steers, $8 to $10, stock cows and
heifers $7.25 to $10, fancy bred hei
fers and calves up to $11.60.
Hogs.
Receipts are insufficient for tho de
mand, but packers aro determined to
keep some sort of control over the
market, and fight for concessions
every day. A good order demand
makes their task hard. Shippers paid
$15.85 to $15.65, light weights $14.80
to $15.40, pigs $12 to $14. Receipts
today include two car loads from C.aU
ifornia, a few shipments each from
Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and
Texas, besides shipments from nearby
states, Missouri hogs brought the top
price. Packers will be unable to ac
cumulate nny considerable stock of
provisions in May nnd June , as is
their custom, which apparently means
that they will have to operate on a
hand to mouth basis during the sum
mer and fall months, putting the situ
ation almost completely into the hands
of sellers.
Sheep and Lambs.
The law of supply and demand is
operating without restriction, in the
sheep house, prices 25 to 40 higher
today, and nearly a dollar above a
week ago. A drizzling rain added
weight to pelts, yet wooled lambs
sld at $15.60 to $16.90, ewes worth
$13.00 to $13.75, clipped ewes around
$11.50, clipped Iambs today $13.40,
spring lambs recently at $15.75 to $16.
Coats sold to killers today at $8.60.
Texas is shipping nothing, nnd the
fed lots has about emptied in every
section.
