OUR LIVESTOCK LETTER.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 31, 1906.
As was expected the run of cattle last
week war small, and the trade without
special feature, except that demand for
fresh meats was greater than packers
had figured on, and the result of their
urgent orders, coupled with the small
supply of 18,400 head, was an advance
of 10 to 30 cents on killing grades.
Beef steers got most of the gain, but it
was not regarded as having any special
significance, outside of being a hopeful
sign, in view of the unusually small
supply. The run today is also small.
