IL Is a noticeable fact that there are not
near so many cattle buyers and spectators
here now ~ there were one year ago but,
all the same, there are enough around TO
pick up any good bargains that may BE-
offered. No man who has a stock OF CIT
tic and range to sell need fear that he will
not find purchaser Another thing no
ticeablc just now Is that there is not such
a disposition to drive in so many cattle
from the east this scasOn. Feed i more
plentiful there this SEASON is one reason for
ihis. and then II has been demonstrated
that cutie do not do rs we'll rs the natives
