Kansas City Stock Yards, June 14—
The advance on fed steers early last
week was lost by the olose of th* week,
and grass cattle declined 10 to 20 centa
for the week. The supply was several
thousand htad less than previoue week,
but there was some bitch ia the con-
sumptive demand and killers aoeording
ly cut down their ordere a little as tha
week progressed. A year ago at thia
time the Kanaaa City market was out of
commission account of the Kaw river
flood, but this yoar there is no danger
of a flood. Tbe Kaw river is twelve
feet below the flood stage, and aoil and
weather conditions over the Kaw water-
shed make it practically impossible for
sufficient water to develop in tbe river
here to do any damage. The cattle run
today ia 10,000 htad, market steady to
strong on light ateors and she etuff,
weak on heavy ateers, calves a quarter
lower. Some 1130-pound steers sold at
$7.00 today, the top, and fed Colorado
steers told at $fi 60. Beef eteers in the
native divieion range from $6.00 to $7.00
embracing all stages of finish, with
buyers shying a little at cattle showing
pronounced grase signs, cows at $2.75
to $5 60, heifers np to $6 50, bulls $3 00
to $5.00, calves $4 00 to $7.00. Stocker*
and feeders lost 10 to 15 cents last week
•and trade was dull, account of absence
of country buyers, but demand is better
today, stockere at $3 75 to $5 25, feeder*
ecaroe, at $4.75 to $5.50. Medium to
fair *.ockere are available around $4 40.
Th* bog markst continued ita upward
tendency last week, except for a small
decline on Saturday. Tha supply ia
running light at all the markets for
June, and the run of 8,000 head here to-
day is only about three-fourtbe as large
ae predicted by dealers Saturday. Pri-
ces are sharply higher today, 10 Jo 15
cents up for bulk of sales, light hoga
sometimes 20 cents higher. Heavy hogs
are selling at $7 60 to $7 70, medium
weights $7 45 to $7 70, light hogs $7 20
to $7 55, pigs $6 00 to $7 00. Packers
and buyerB have surrendered to the bull
side of th* market and are willing to
predict still higher prices for hoge.

Plymouth Binder Twine
SAVES TIME AND GRAIN
Twine is a small item, but good twine save* a lot
of expense in harvest time. Every time your machine is
stopped the delay costs you money. Time in
harvest season is always valuable, and some-
times extremely precious on account of the
condition of weather or grain. He sure you
use the best twine,— PLYMOUTH
TWINE. Then you will be safe from
the annoyances, delays, expenses, which
ordinary twine causes. Plymouth 1 wine
works perfectly in every machine. More
of it is made and used every year than
any other kind, because it is known to
he the best and has been for years.
Bind* more sheaves with less ex-
pense, no knots, no breaks, and is
guaranteed full length and extra
strength. CJet Plymouth Twine
from the local dealer. Look for
the wheat-sheaf tag.
Use
Plymouth
Rope. It hat
the t a m e

and Acme Binders.
