deed there WAS one sale 81 cents above the
price heretofore reached, % cents having
been paid for bunch of very superior
short horns. While In the aggregate, re-
ceiptS were fairly liberal, the offerings of
good TO extra grades were extremely light,
and, it WAS in those descriptions that the
advance WAS the most pronounced. Fully
one-half of the days run consisted or
range cattle, about 1900 comlug
from Texas. aud coo being
credited TO the western ranges. The 100
natives were principally common to fair,
