flowing is report of the weeks transac-
by Holmes, Briggs Co.:
fe report IS loads OF cattle on sale Mon
Y, which was about the same in num-
r as Monday of last week. The quality,
Dwever, was below tEat of last week. The
incipal receipts were cattle which had
cen fed some grain through the winter and
jurned on grass. But as there has been so
much rain this season, grass has been too
soft and wasting TO produce fat, and We
think farmers are making a big mistake to
put their cattle and sl,ssp of before they
are lit to be killed. When there is such
abundance of grass and every advantage to
make fat stock it would be more profitable
to the grazier and butcher to keep back
stock until ready for market 1t be-
comes more evident to a careful observer
every week that grain fed cattle and sheep
are below the demand ana must command
