The sale OF four hundred hay-fed Nevada
steers the other day for $35 around, de-
livered at the railway station for shipment
to San Francisco, is proof positive that cat
tie values on the Pacific coast are stifenlng,
says the Baker City Democrat. 1t is pretty
evident that prices will continue to improve
for some years, and that new life and vlgor
will be given to the industry. We under
stand that California butchers are offering
to contract Nevada and Idaho steers for
next summers delivery at the railroad and
getting no cattle. The lowest offer on the
part of the ranchmen at which they are
willing to contract their steers is, S35, and
the price generally set is $40.
