How ia the cattle market to-dayl" was the anxious
question: several times repeated on Tuesday evening
as met with farmers from the neghboring counties,
Our answer was: There is no material change from
what it has been for several weeks. The supply is
large and buyers not very anxious, and the brokers
call il dull market. Then comes the reoinder: Is
j. never going 10 be any better have some cattle
to se and am tired OF feeding them at the present
price of gain. In fact, am only giving them just
enough ~ keep them from falling, waiting for better
maxi etc. We all expected high prizes in January.
True, You discouraged that idea all the time; we wish
v e bad taken your advice; our cattle would have
brought us iust az much money in November az they
will now. Is this state OF things never going
to let up 7" Upon our word we do not see
