o KANSAS CITY STOCK o
MARKET. o
O J. A. Rickart Correspondent. O

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kansas City Stock Yards Oct. 2.
The cattle market turned out better
last week than it looked from the
viewpoint of last Monday for the rea-
son that receipts dropped down sharp-
ly after Tuesday thus enabling sales-
men to completely regain the slight
loss of Monday before the end of the
week. This week is starting out ex-
actly like last week a heavy run all
around 28000 here including 2500
calves market steady to 10 lower.
Dealers have been expecting a bigger
run of cattle tha nhas appeared and
reports from the grazingf sections in-
dicate that the cattle are pretty well
run out at least no great big number
remains. August showed a big short-
age at all points from last year same
month and September figures are even
more impressive sixty thousand cat-
tle short here from September last
year. At Chicago so far this season
110000 rangers have been received
the smallest number in ten years for
the period to date and 62000 less than
last year. Yet prices do not advance
which proves two things a slack out-
let for the beef and great caution on
the part of country buyers. Both of
these conditions might change for the
better any time they are not apt to
get any worse. The upper 20 per cent
of the cattle in all classes are selling
fully steady today the balance weak
to 10 lower. Prime beef steers ar
worth up to $8.00 short fed steers
$5.75 to $7.23 native grass steers
$5.25 to $7.00 western grass beef
steers' $4.50 to $5.75 Old Mexicos
$3.90 to $4.40 quarantine steers $3.80
to $5.50 native and western grass
cows $3.00 to $4.85 veal calves $4.50
to $7.73 which is 25 to 75 cents lower
than a week ago. Stock steers bring
$3.75 to $5.35 feeders $4.25 to $6.00.
Hogs lost 20 to 25 cent3 last week
but they closed the week with a sus-
picion of strength. Pigs made an ac-
tual gain of 25 cents for the week
but they still sell at ruinous rates
$4.00 to $5.00. Supply today is 5.500
head rather light for Monday market
strong to 5 higher top $6.30 bulk
.$6.25 and $6.45. These prices are
$2.50 lower than a year ago and about
50 cents higher than lowest point
( reached this spring. Cholera in the
country continues to drive in a world
of light stuff. Average weight of hogs
in Chicago last week was 50 lbs lighter
than a year ago same week. The dif-
ference here was less standing at 20
pounds.
Sheep prices strengthened a little
last week and a firm undertone has
developed thought a big run today
does not allow it to come to the sur-
face prices barely steady today. Sup-
ply here today 20000 Omaha and
j Chicago badly overloaded today fifty
seven and fifty thousand respectively.
Utah lambs brought $6.10 today year-
lings worth $4.00 to $4.75 light ones
up to $3.00 wethers up to $4.23 ewes
$4.00 breeding ewes $3.00 to $4.00
feeding lambs $4.83 to $5:10. Astute
dealers look for stronger prices.
NINETEEN MILLS
IS IITH'S LEVY
State Board of Equalization Springs
Surprise By Making State Levy
2 Mills Instead of V2 Mills.
The tax levy in Vinita for all pur-
poses this year will be nineteen mills
according to County Clerk Nix. The
city county and school levies had
been previously announced and last
night the state board of equalization
wired the amount of the state levy.
Instead of fixing the state levy at
the highest legal rate three and one-
half or at three mils as had been gen -
erally expected the state board of
equalization after an all day session
Monday set the levy at only two mills.
At the two mill rate the board esti-
mates enough money will be raised to
defray the current expenses of the
state government for the coming year
and provide for the public schools the
levy for the former purposes being
one and three-fourtha mills with one-
four of one mill for school purposes.
Absolutely no provision was made
in the levy for the deficit inherited
from the former years and the board
will recommend to the legislature that
the question of issuing funding bonds
to take care of this deficiency be left
to the people of the state for a vote
The deficiency is more than $2000000.
The legislature at its last session
made an appropriation of $2537846
for the fiscal year ending June 30
1912. It was estimated that 20 per
cent of the taxes would be delinquent
making it necessary to add to that
amount $507569 to the appropriation
making a total of $3043415.20 to be
provided for. Aside from direct tax-
ation however the estimated revenues
of the state are $722067.27 leaving a
balance of $2323353.83 to be derived
from direct taxation.
The total property valuation of the
state is $1327527893 and on this sum
the two mill levy will raise $2655055.-
78 of which one-eighth goes to the
school fund and the balance to the
ordinary current expenses of the state
government.
Out of the total amount raised there
will be paid $741037 appropriated by
the legislature for the current expenses
of the fiscal year ending June 30 1911
which was not paid and consequently
will come from this year's revenues.
When the board met Monday morn-
ing a resolution was offered fixing the
levy for general purposes at one and
one-fourth mills for school purposes
at one-fourth mill with an additional
mill to apply on the old deficit making the grand stand. 2 p. m. Judging am;
