, All recent reports FROM the stdcl

fallen to figures unthought of for years

A buyers at that figure. The mad, wild

appears to have reached a elimination
and the inevitable shock results.
The fault is not with the business at
, all but is with the way In which IL has
been managed. During the two years
past such has been the demand
/, for cattle and cattle ranges that
the prices thereof have advanced tC
unrational figures. Stock cattle on the
ranges brought better prices than fat
, cattle in the Chicago stock yards, and
dry, barren plains were called ranches
and sold at fancy figures. Thinking
men have foreseen that this state OF

have been in continued anticipation

whether speculation, drouths or over.

suit, but they felt that present figures
were fictitious and must fall. 1t ap

mentioned are 1t work and the fall

may be but a breaker and 1t may be a

There Is no industry more certain in
