The allsimpor tans, question now " for..
1stockmsn Is how to ship their beef to-
market. IT ~ not probable that there
will bs any more buyers In the markets
this season, and owners viii be- COM
PEELED to ship. The most economical
lWay TO do this Ii for 4 number of herd:
.towners to club together and contract for
the transportation. The Northern Pa
clio railroad company has shown . dis
position to b very fairI In its arrange
mant for the shipment Of cattle, ana We
have no doubt that ~ clubbing together
