Cattle shipments Light.

The stockmen of the range west OF
Pierre are OF the general opinion that
the shipments for this year will be
lighter than for several years past.
Last year saw a large movement of
cattle and the high prices which have
prevailed this year has prevented the
usual stocking up of the ranges,
though many young cattle have come
in the past few weeks. These, though,
will not be ready for shipment this
fall. Some OF the cattlemen place the
shipments at but half the usual num-
Der, but three fourths is q very con.
sentative estimate. and they may ex-
coed that. While the prices for young
cattle have advanced about Sc per
head, thew will not likely 90 much
higher, as one old dealer puts it.
people will go eating meat il beef gets
too high. and the man VINO expects
much more of a raise will be fooled"
The scarcity though is very likely to
give higher prices for THE year than
last.
