Durlng the pout week the great
American Royal cattle show and sale
tins been in progress and both as a
dhtplay of Hereford, Shorthorn and
Galloway royalty and an attraction
to visitors has far surpassed any pre
vious event of the kind ever attend
ed. The weather has been Ideal, and
with the perfectly appointed barns,
show tent and sule pavilion there
was nothing to mar the success of
the undertaking or retard the execu
tion of the program. From mld
fnrenoon until dusk the 300x125 feet
show tent, the two and a quarter
acre barn, the pavilion with a capac
ity for housing 200 cattle and con
taining an ainpltheatre with seal
for ,1000 people, and the streets adja
cent were tilled with a mass of mov
ing people who Inspected everything
from the obscure nurse-cows to the
ribbon liedecked winners of many
prise.
The top price at the Shorthorn sale
was f 1850.00 for Inglewood, a two-year-old
Cruikshank bull, and the
average price paid for 12 Shorthorn
bulls was $477.01. Thirty-eight
Shorthorn cows sold at an average
of 9292.36 and the general average for
the 50 head of Shorthorns was if 338.90
or, 20.00 higher than last year.
There was 135 Herefords offered at
the sale, the general average having
been 1253.25. The females numbered
92 head and averaged $ 257.55, while
the 43 bulls which made up the re
mainder of the offerings realized
$244.06 each. The Hereford averages
fell lelov the last year's mark but
this was due to the fact that the se
lections for the sale were made more
with a view to giving the average
cattle breeder and farmer something
that will increase the value of his
herd than with the idea of an ex
change of blood between the thor
oughbred producers. The highest
price Hereford bull sold was South
Ington 111,703 of the K. B. Armour
estate herd, and the top price for a
Hereford cow was $620.00 for Pits
burg Maid ST?,55. Southtngton
brought $1005.00, and was taken by
Wm. Humphrey, of Ashland, Nebras
ka, while Pltsbnrg Maid went to
Marshall Field, of Chicago. In the
Galloway sale, 22 bulls averaged
$144.08 and 13 females went at $117,31
or at an average of $134.14 for the 35
head offered. Some of the Galloways
were In good show condition and
Imported Wolfel, a prlte winning
aged bull, brought $600.00 but as a
rule the Galloways were not at their
best, the bulk of the offerings consist
ing of only fairly pedigreed stock and
not In good flesh. The top price on
Galloway females was $200.00 for
Lady of the Lake and calf.
The dressed beef cattle market dur
ing the post week reached about as
high a point as has been touched
this year. The top beeves brought
6.50 and the demand was so great
that one packing establishment
brought a train of 16 cars, from Chi
cago towards the last of the week
There was a heavy run of range cows
and values settled slightly, ruling
probably 10 to 200 below the bulk of
the week before. The decline on de
sirable feeders was checked but the
common stockers and feeders of Infe
rior quality were slow and lower.
Southern receipts amounted to
about 9000 cattle and 1300 calves and
consisted largely of very common
cows many of which sold under 2.00.
The better grades of Southern cows
brought 2.25 to 2.90 and a few scat
tering Bales ot prime fed cows sold at
a no ta 3.75. K teer qualities were
erably auguroented as consignments
from Eastern territory had been at
tracted by the higher prices that had
ruled at Kansas City for some weeks.
Values declined 30 to 40? during
the week but still range 1.25 to 1.60
above last year. Heavy hogs are
worth 6.10 to 6.20; mixed packers and
medium hogs 5.75 to 6.10; lights 5.30
to 6.00 and desirable pigs 4.65 to 5.40.
The sheep supply was liberal but
hardly sufficient for the demand.
Prices were higher from the start
and native lambs sold up to 4.75.
Western lambs sold at 3.75 to 4.60
and Western Wethers at 3.25 to 3.75.
Stockers and feeders were In small
supply nnd remained about steady.
Receipts of live stock during the
past week were:
Cattle.. 62.500
Hogs 60.500
Sheep 27,500
For the proceeding week:
Cattle ...66,000
Hogs .38.800
