Fourteen loads came forward from Wyoming for today's market and there fore trading, did not start very brisk. Total arrivals of cattle were heavy and consisted of 676 head, together with 82 calves, 'The recent bumpipg that local sheep men secured in the yards has evidently not stopped the offerings, here for the arrivals today were the greatest since Monday. It is alleged by shippers that the local packers were sore that a cer tain shipper sold his cattle at an In terior point Instead of vending them Into the yard and that Is the reason why the shipper was bumped when he shipped his sheep forward. "If they Intend to treat shippers that way we are going to cut out the Port rand market altogether," said this ship per. "We find that while packers send men into Montana and elsewhere to buy cattle for the local market in order to break prices, they seem to object to our selling in the country. The price we received for our cattle was better than we could have received here considering how they treated us on our sheep ship ment and hereafter we will sell to the highest bidder whether he is from Port land or some other place."
