value wont as high as 40c a dosen,' and
a number of sales are shown at this

does not command as -high a figure; in
fact most of the arrivals will sell under
ths top. Thus far only a small per cent
.of the arrivals have been of first class
quality, the percentage of "culls" being
muoh heavier than usual.

On March I. 1909, It is expected that
all will be in readiness to transact
business In the new stockyards on the
pciuujiuia aiongsiue or me Bwlrt plant.
While the work of construction up to
this time has been rather slow and has
met with frequent unavoidable delays,
It is iulte likely that building Opera
tions will soon be conducted on a much
more extensive scale.
There is a continuation of the alow
ton for ordinary grades of cattle and
for these killers are not willln tn nav
acceptable prices to shlppera . Every
effort to discourage the shipment of
rr quality cattle is etui being made
. the killers and they say they do not
propose) to stop until the shipments
cease. According to cattle raisers.
however, tbey have nothing else to do
but to send their supplies to market and
accept any price that the buyers are
wining to pay. reea prices are ad
vancing instead of showing a loss and
the problem of prpfltable feeding is too
