Live Stock Market.

ST. LOUIS, July 5.-Only a dozen
car loads of native steers were offered,
which sold promptly at strong prices.
Good steers in active demand. Mixed
butcher stuff also scarce. Although
the run of Texas cattle was very large,
some 203 car loads, yet prices adj
vanced20to % cents per 100 pounds,
and the market was active at that,
and a large number of sales were
made. Prices are now from 70 cents
to 81 per 100 pounds higher than
about ten days ago.
HoGs-With scant supply but Lit,
tie could be done in the way Of bust

tiyes entered and Missouri horse
men are thus assured of plenty of
company.
The Clark stakes for the October
meeting OF the one and two-year-
old colts are phenomenaliy large
and are commanding attention from
all quarters. The entrance fee is
SO low that it is believed there will
be few, If any, that viii fall by
the way.
The saddle and harness stakes of
$500 each for the best saddle horse,
mare or gelding, and best harness
horse. mare or gelding, We r IN
formed by j.. A. Potts, of the Saddle
Horse Association, are filling well,
but not in large numbers. This
promises to be the best horse show
in these two departments eve made
in Missouri. Lovers of fine horses
who miss this show will miss seeing
the pest ever collected in the West.
We noticed on the grounds, Pres.
w. j. Bolts, who in connection
with VIM. Pollock and Col. Jim
johnson were experimenting and
locating the buildings and crowdmg
the work to an early completion.
OTHER HORSE MATTERS HERE.
The enterprise of C. F. Clark,
has induced him to build a stable
on the Boulevard leading to the
Fair Ground for his horses, Robert
Rysdyk, 2:134, Stopper q FIVE year
old son of the same, and Warfellow
by Longfellow, the runner. This
is both artistic in external appear
ance and convenient in internal ar
~rangements.
A few yards away, we notice in
process a training stable 252 feet
long, with a twenty foot alieyway
IN the center and twenty box stalls
on each side. Connection has been
made with the.water main on the
Boulevard, and a miniature track
is to be made near at hand. Nj.
Clark evidently does not think the
"horse business is "being over
DONE" In fact he says the demand
for high class horses increases fas-
ter than supply in his locality.
THE RINGo HOTEL
Has been a fayorite stopping place
for the boys since under the
management of w. T. Reed. We
were pleased to notice, as if antic-
ipating their wants at the coming
meeting and to provide for them
nicely, there were new carpets, new
furniture, new bedding, new paper,
new paint and repairs ad infmitam.
THE NEW VETERINARY,
DIR. r. A. Ramsay. is highly pleas
ed with the reception he has re-
ceived at the hands Of the horse
men and stock growers Of Audrain
county. We found him with a
good line Of practice and gaming
the confidence of all who employ
him.
FooTR BROTHERS
Report a good seasons business
thus far. but for working the
horses one of the worst. In this
they have so much company that
they expect to hold their own and
let their colts do the talking at the
October meeting. ROVER.

soon and there is every reason to
believe, both from the material
used, the method of construction
and the shape, that it will prove
a model track in every respect.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.
Most Of the buildings formerly
used on these grounds are being
moved to accommodate themselves
to the new track. A force of work
men yer busy with the larger
buildings including the grand
stand, which they have removed to
their locations. Many of the sta.
bles have been relocated, and 6
large force of workmen were busy
in their reconstruction. At ali
points we found the work far adj
vanced, needing IN fact but a few
days to have everything in order
for what is believed to be the grand.
