There have been shipped out Montana
this season. over the Great Northern
road 15S trains Of cattle and IL trains of
sheep. or 3,16O cars of cattle and 1.O2O
cars of sheep This makes total from
the twelve shipping points in Montana.
on this line, of G7,94O head of cattle and
900 head of sheep.
The Northern Pacific road carried from
Montana points 53O7 cars of cattle and
l,O0o cars of sheep making a total of
| 1lG, ,1S1 head of stock and POI 900 sheep

prices of beef for the season to be about
one dollar per hundred pounds less than
last year. Light cattle and light prices
have prevailed all summer. but the
necessity of having some money forced
the shipment OF cattle to market against
the better judgment of the owners and
kept up the run when otherwise 1t would
have dropped below the mark for the
previous year.
