Ft. ’Worth, with receipt. of son than
a million hood. Including calves, was the
only organised cattle market la the United
States which doting 1912 recorded t >tal
gain In cattle receipts. The loading river
markets fell off a combined total of ap-
proximately a million head.
A review of conditions and receipts for
1012 at the leading river markets, at Kan-
MiH (ity In particular, has been complied
by the Kansas City Drovers Telegram.
It la a comprehensive and Interesting
story and In part Is as follows:
(From the Drovers Telegram.)
With more than 37.000,000 head of meat
animals st five western markets In 1012
prices Oar such tfgadrupeds were the
highest on record, on the whole. So that
the million bead shortage from the pre-
ceding year, while of Immense benefit ti
such producers as had supplies for sale,
was rather expensive for the consumers.
But hereafter any shortage In supplies
will be hssed not so much on an actual
decrease from year to year as on the fail-
ure to Increase to keep pace with the
enlarging demand. In other words, a
supply that ten years ago wonld have
been excessive and demoralising today
would be wholly Inadequate.
From a statistical standpoint cattle re-
ceipts at western markets the past year,
being In ronnd numbers 7,300,000 head,
were the lightest since 1001. In boga,
the total of 17,000.000 In 1012, while more
than one-half million below 1011, were far
above the average, snee In only three
years have 17.000.000 been exceeded.
Sheep supplies were the heaviest eTer
known, betBg almost 13.000,000.

Whftl They Lost.
In 1012 the six leading markets sus-
tained a loss of nearly 530.000 cattle, when
compared with the preceding year. Chi-
cago has I lie greatest loss with around
300.000; Kansan City around 181,000;
Omaha, 105,000; St. Joseph. 17,000. St.
Louis made a gain of 122,000, Inrgely dne
to combing new trrltory from whence
the major portion of their gains came.
The relative movement to the two mar-
kets from Missouri shows Kansas City
with only a small part of the state as
legitimate territory to have held Its own
with 1011, while St. Lonls with practi-
cally the whole state to draw from, shows
a decrease of 20 per cent from Missouri.
Chicago and Kansas City, the only mar-
kets which give out separate statistics
of calves, a loss of over (10.000 Is shown
from 1011, and the total loss at the five
markets will probably aggregate a grand
total of 100,000 for tbe year and will
..........." 'i
slightly reduce the loss of cattle for they
are compiled as cattle In Omaha, St
Joseph aad St. Louis.
Conserving the Calves.
The loss In calves was naturally export-
ed for tbe breeding establishments In the
west anil aontbwest and the eowipeq on
the plains began reserving their calves
for breeding' purposes last year sud aw
still doiug so. In order to replenish their
producing herds. But st certain seasons
in 1912 prices of calves soared to shave
820 per head and It was hard for tbe
owners to hold fast to their rnles, not
to part with the eslvee, st snch prices.
Undoubtedly some of them were Induced
to part with them and thus avoid the
chances of loss by death before they
reached the ages to move to the corn belt
states to be finished. The sale of young
calves In every Instance will serve to re-
duce the future supply of cattle to some
extent.
Adverse Climate Ceudltiena.
Constdering the year’s trade from a
local standpoint the movement In sdl
branches was fully as heavy as expected
and developed many remarkable features.
At the close of the year 1911 and the
early months of 1912 conditions were far
from flattering for a prosperous year,
crops were almost a failure In Kansas
and the severe winter—long to be re-
membered—resulted In the curtailment of
feeding operations and a heavy loss,
particularly to the cattlemen In western
Kansas, Oklahoma and eastern Colorado.
One need only glance at the record from
Kansas in the matter of cattle receipts
to appreciate the remarkable record made
In Kansas City in the face of the great
handicap from the one state. In 1912,
nearly 290,000 less cattle arrived from
Kansas thau In 1011; 28.000 less from
Nebraska and 12,000 less from Oklaho-
ma. Yet the total decrease was only 200,-
01X1. There were gains of »ver 27,000
from Arkansas, 20,000 from Texas, 1,000
from Iowa and 5,000 from Illinois.
The Increase from Arkansas Is partly
explained by Improved railroad service.
In Oklahoma some parts of the state
have been placed above the quarantine
line, which includes nearly half of the
Osage country and the oil mills.
More Cattle on Feed.
From what Information can be had It
appears that there are more cattle on
feed In Kansas City territory than there
were a year ago, which Is contrary to
the general belief prevailing among the
traders. From Nearly 300 Inquiries sent
out in 1912, a total of 472,000 cattle are
on feed, against 467.000 In the same locali-
ties last year. The same returns indi-
cate that there are 437,000 hogs available,
against 435,000 8 year ago. Returns on
sheep sngest 932,000 against 428.000 a year
ago. These Inquiries were sent out to
the same persons ns a year ago. and
while they do not cover every nook and
corner of the territory, they are re-
garded sufficiently reliable to Indicate
what is going on In the country and the
probable per cent of feeding operations
In progress as compared with a year ago.
Reports from the oil mills there arc fully
as many cattle on feed as n year ago In
that territory, while the general lmpres-
alon seems to be that a great many more
are being fed this year than last.
Prosperous Year for Feeders.
As a general rnt« livestock raisers, feed-
ers and shippers to tne Kansas City mnr-
of Receipts for
■-“ -
fcet In 1912 have been unusually prosper-
ous tbe whole year through, rrices with*
out excepting* ruled the Mg beat ever
known in nearly every branch of the
trade. The market as a whole waa uo*
usually free from material breaks or slug-
gishness. The prime feature outside of
high prices, was the ready demand for all
kinds, at all times. Advancing prices
were the rule, but when reactions set In,
there waa ever present a ready demand
at the prevailing prices. There were no
excessive accumulations; no sluggish per-
iods and no rutuous declines. This waa
probably due to lack of drouths, floods
and hot winds or crop failures. The
market dosed with the worst fluctua-
tion of the year when beef grades de-
clined 73c <g> 1.50 from the high level and
regained 50$>75c of the decline in holiday
week, which waa seldom the case at this
season.
Clrasaers at High Level.
Prices of all classes of cattle from
choice beeves to calves advanced mate-
rially in the first four months of the
year and averaged at tbe highest level
ever kuown In the history of the market.
In the next four months beef steer prices
fluctuated more or less, owing to the free
marketing of grassers from Kansas and
southern pastures. During this period
choice to prime fed steers were scarce
and maintained steady price*. Grasaers
started in at the highest level ever known.
Butcher classes broke 50c to $1.25 in the
summer tor grasers, although common
cows and cutters, which were scarce dur-
ing the whole season, maintained the
highest level ever known for this class.
In the final quarter beef steers fluc-
tuated more than In the forapart of the
we are to safe the Indians, it must be
year, having reached the extreme high
level in September, there were gradual de-
clines until the end of the year, with oc-
casional reactions for a few days.
Butcher grades closed strong to higher.
In the final quarter and from $1 to $2
higher than a .tear ^go. Cows and heif-
ers are growing scarcer all the time,
owing to the fact that n good many are
being held back for breeding purposes.
Calves closed at the high level of the
year and from $2$g)3 higher thau last
year. Tho abnormal high prices 'are
maintained through scarcity for the same
reason that cows and heifers are held
back—to replenish the pastures and feed
lots.
Declines and Advances.
The stocker and feeder trade general-
ly followed the course ui the beef trade
and reacted with it. As a whole prices
were on the highest level ever known,
still feeders generally made money in
haudllng them. There were declines In
the months of April, June and July and
material advances lit all the other
months with the exception of November
and December, when there were no ma-
terial changes. Whenever packers attempt-
ed to force declines on ha If fat steers,
feeders from Iowa, Illinois and Missouri
came In and outbid them, paying the
highest prices ever known.
The feature of the trade during ihe
year was the liberal shipment of Stockers
and feeders to Kansas City from Chicago.
At that time receipts were small and
prices soaring. Chicago traders were
quick to take advantage of the situation
and shipped here in trainloads.
Top prices lu beef steers ranged from
*9.90 .
•taara
winner* at
in October sold up to
tho highest prices ever paid on
Kansas City market from ono year s
end to the other. Top prices for steers
In tho Texas division ranged from IS.10
to 19 in June, which broke all previous
records for high prices from that state.
Colorado grass steers ringed up to $fc.50
in September. Greenwood county half-
fed grass steers ranged from I8.25Q9 In
the first half of the year, the highest
range ever known in the history of the
market. The high price paid for half-
ers was $9.95 and tor mixed yearling
steers and heifers $9.55. Yearling steers
ranged up to $10. Top prices of feed-
ers ranged from $6.60 ^8.25 and stockers
from $6.10 £>&.
Big Tear In Feeders.
In spite of the loss of 183,000 cattle In
Kansas City in 1912, tbe stocker and feed-
er shipments wore practically the same as
in 1911. In eleven months there was a
loss of nearly 20,000, but tbe December
movement aggregating around 63,000,
against 35,875 in December a year ago,
practically wiped out the decrease to the
year.
This showing is deemed remarkable in
tbe face of the big loss In the total re-
ceipts.
All aurroundtng markets show material
losses in the volume of stock cattle han-
dled during the year and a loss waa ex-
pected in Kansas City during the forepart
of the season, when the movement to the
country was much smaller than a year
ago. In fact, the shipments in the first
seven months showed losses each month
from a year ago, and again In November,
August, Heptember, October and Decem-
ber gains were sufficiently large to off-
set the losses in the other eight months.
For the year, close to 679,000 head were
sent back to the country against 675,123
in 1011. This is the largest shipment since
1909 When 706,868 were returned. In 1907,
the record year, 830,814 head were sent
back to the country. In August, Septem-
ber, October and November, the four
months in which the major portion of the
year’s business Is handled nearly 2,500
more cars were sent out laat year.
8iioce*Nful Year.
The year’s trade was regarded highly
successful from the raiser's and feeder’s
viewpoint. While prices of thin cattle
maintained the highest level ever known
in the history of the market, the feeders
at all times received good margins for
their labor and feed. The seasons were
unusually favorable, excepting In the first
three months of tbe year, when the se-
vere winter forced many out of the cattle
business and resulted In heavy losses.
Crop failures In Kansas lust year cur-
tailed operations in that state, until the
pasture season opened und the new crop
was made. The great crop of roughness
induced many to reenter the field the
past fall and even now some of the big
pnsturemen in western and southwestern
Kansas are In the Panhandle In search of
supplies to eat the cheap roughness.
These cattle are usually moved up in the
spring, but the more venturesome hand-
lers are going to take another chance
with the elements.
The Hummer and fall seasons were ideail
for finishing storK, noth in the pastures
and feed lots. Tnrve were no drouths or
epidemics of disease or pests and the
cattle as a rule made big gains, while
prices were constantly advancing. It was
such a year which made the old timers
look on with perfect amazement and pon-
der over the results.
Conntry Buyer Bushes Parkers.
Scarcity of good feeders frequently
caused the countrymen to enter tbe com-
petition with the packers for hnlffnt
steers and they paid "beef” prices for the
privilege of taking them home. Even In
the height, of the grass season, when
packer* were catling more of this
thin the, needed *ad attempted to bear
the market, the feeder came to the reacue
aad cleaned ap the aurplua, at price*
Barer beard of before.
The rear’* trad* waa remarkably free
from hear, accumulation*. The market
waa never stagnant. Tbe demand waa
constant and always equal to tbe aupply,
more often responsible for maintaining
tbe unheard of prtcea, from January to
December.
Stock cowa and hetfera excited more or
leaa comment during tbe entire senaon.
Prtcea often were aa high or higher than
fat gradea. Choice kinds were alwaya tn
request and the demand greater than the
aupply, which tadteatea that the breeders
and raisers are keeping their better
gradea at home for future use.
At the dose of tbe year of 1912 the
livestock trade of Kansas City finds Its
column of receipts In red 1nk.\ It wa*
the flrat year In Kansas City's history
to record decreases In all classes of stock.
The falling off In ;cattle, a* compared
with 1911. ws* not far from 181.000 head.
Hogs were btdly tn arrears, tbe falling
off npproxtmattng #44,000. Sheep, though,
and calves and horses made only nominal
declines. Tbe number of car* received
waa about 122,000, against about 14LOOO,
a decrease of 18,838 car*. Comparing the
122,000 car* with previous years, tbe re-
ceipts In 1912 were the smallest since
1904, when only 119,680 ears camo In, ee
that 1012 fell back and took rank with
the average of years prior to the laat
eight years.
While Intensely regrettable, the de-
creasing supply of meat arrivals, re-
flected In uo more striking way at Kan-
sas City than at other of the large mar-
kets. occasions little or no surprise, for
the producing country has for several
yesrs gtveu evidences of curtailing its
output, particularly of cattle.
Future Beef Supply.
Hereafter tbe nation's beef supply evi-
dently Is to be to some extent the ca-
price of tbe small farmers, who, If they
were of a mind, conld, without any ef-
fort, replace the beef stock and the roast
to Its former position of honor at the
head of tbe table. Ruthless slaughter
of calTes whs somewhat cheeked during
the last year, when receipts at the mar-
ket were noticeably smaller than In re-
cent yesrR.
Wholesale erection of silos through the
,-orn belt Is a good sign that farmers
hereafter will undertake the Job of put-
ting meat on their young animals In-
stead of rushing them to markot while
still too yonug to have any effect on the
beef supply.
Aa to the shortage In bogs, there is no
excuse for It. Enough hogs dlo of chol-
era from lock of availing of the Inven-
tions of science to augment the pork
.supply to an excess, if the government
ever puts forth as much effort to' con-
serve the hog supply from fever ns It has
to bold In check and ultimately anni-
hilated Ihe tick In southern herds of cat-
tle. there will bo no lack of swine.
Mutton In Demand.
Notwithstanding the fact that the sup-
ply of sheep at the big markets the past
year was the largest ever known. Judg-
ing from the price charged for mutton
the supply was not too large.
If statistics were available showing the
states that contributed stock to Ibis mar-
ket the paat year the Kaunas quota
would reflect the failure of the corn and
forage crops of 1911, and the terrible win-
ter of 1911-12. There Is no doubt that
the 900,non-head shortage of cattle, hogs
and sheep at this market was wholly .
traceable to these conditions In the Sun-
flower state. Add If the aupply for thla
market In 1913 shows a gain over 1912, it
will he due to the greatest forage yields
on record the past year and favorable
weather this winter.
Throughout Ihe past year shippers
bare r»fitted good prices on their dtock
and it fat almost certain that the aheep
industry will grow to larger proportion*
during the romlug year.
The new method of short feeding
proved highly successful at all time* and
furnished a large outlet for medium
gradea and under weight atock that met
with poor demands. At time* there was
a strong demand for handy weight stock
of all kinds while heavy finished stock
had to be sold at a diaeonnt. nowever
these conditions were only the nature! re-
sult of heavy marketing as the demand
generally favored good weights a ml
choice quality rather than light half fin-
ished stock. Transactions throughout the
year ware highly tatlsfactory to all con-
cerned und through the experience gained
during 1912 the market during tho com-
ing year should show further improve-
ment.

sheep aad Lamb*.
Kansas City ranked aa one of tbe fore-
most sheep and lamb markets tn 1912.
Shippers all over the west aimed ship-
ments In this direction and they were
amply rewarded for their foreslght.
All of the territory acquired last year
and some new localities were well rep-
resented by large consignments of choice
stock. The severe cold weather late In
the spring reached far down into Ihe
southwestern states and caused great dis-
asters on the open ranges of Arlaona and
New Mexico. The supply In that section
alone was 20 per cent short of last year.
This same condition caused a heavy in-
flux from all other weatern states and re-
ceipts were unusually large during the
first six months In fact new records
were established in every one of the first
five markets. loiter receipts were rather
tight but there was a steady marketing
of stock op to tho close. * '
Price* reached very high levels In the
year and packers stimulated the trade
by active buying at all times. The year
as s whole was a decided suceeaa and
stands above all previous years as one
of substantial prices. Feeding stock wa*
scarce and with the exception of January
and February, receipt* each month were
far below those of 1911 The country de.
mnnd 'was generally good and exceeding-
ly high pri.es were paid for all kind* of
feeding and breeding stork.
Year In Hug Market.
The hog industry tn 1912 was one of the
most profitable In several years; Ruh-
stanllsl prices were msinlalned praettcal-
tho abtindanro amt cheapness of feed In
ly throughout the entire year, In spite of
Ihe last six months.
The much heralded shortage of hog* tn
the conntry was noticeable to a large ex-
tent In the last half of the year when
receipts everywhere hecame smaller. The
dlsasterous fall of 1911 was directly re-
sponsible for this shortage as a great
many stock hogs were wiped out by dis-
ease that spread over the couutry. How-
ever Ihe free application of cholera se-
rum together with more sanitary hand-
ling, did much toward eradicating tho
disease and sick hogs were In a small
percentage of the supply comparing with
last year. Weights and qnaltty were also
largely improved during the past year.
