FAYErTE CoUNTY CATTLE BEAR THE PALM.
Last week we noticed that some very fne
cattle were shipped from London, Madison
county, by Henry Kirk Of this county, for
New York City, to be put in that market
for Christmas Beef. On Saturday last our
friend Mr.. W. ]. Bowers, who accompa.
MED these cattle to New York, called on
US and handed us a copy of the New York
Tribune Of the 18th inst, from which we
gather the following facts in relation to.
these extraordinary cattle. Eleven of the ID
were shipped to New York, and the other
three to Dayton. From the report Of the
cattle market on the 18th, we learn that
"The prize lot of ii extremely fine Ohio
grades, probably the best ii head ever
brought here together were fed by Henry
Kirk in Fayette County, and weighed "a
ewt. gross. They were sold by TJ.
Goff; five head of 9 1880 lbs average, to s.
Williams of Fulton Market at2Ic one bull
lock to j. Schum Of Eighth avenue for
$345i one pair weighing $3.50 lbs to
Snowden 4 ConYill, to go to Philadelphia,
at 22c; while G. G. Teed picked out a
splendid animal, on which the price was
not fixed. Kirk also had IS fat but coarsJ
ish Ohio steers of cwt,, sold at l5c."
The IL head of Mr.. Kinks cattle sold at
an average per head of 1896 .e.a ~.
