C. Live Stock Market Letter The heavy supplies of cattle last week at the five AVestern markets had their usual effect on prices. Values here were 15 to 25 cents lower, but the trade was lifeless, packers claim ing that the demand for heavy cuts of beef was light. The top last week was 85.P5, agHinst 15.75 for former week. Corn fed cattle seem plentiful though the choice well finished dry lot grades are scarce.

Nearly all the offerings show steus of grass. Light weight steers and heifers In good flesh continue in demand at firm prices, Cows were lower on all but corn fed grades and hardly enough of these were offered to test the values. Some sold up to $1.35. Most of the grass grades brought 2.25 to 3. The stock.

er and feeder mark6t was dull. Too many were offered with the demand limited. Only the best native grades were wanted. tock cows and heifers were steady most of the sales ranged from $2.25 to 2.50. Prices of hogs advanced again Wednesday from 5 to 10 cents.

Most of the advance came early and the close was the low part of the market, no more than 5 cents above Tuesday. The top was $5,871 and the bulk of sales $5.70 to 5.85. Choice light weight butcher hogs hold the high range. Abovt Our University How many people Could give offhand this information regarding the University of Kansas?
