Ben L. Welch & Co. are still at the
front on all lines Of sales OF live stock.
Their predictions for the past year are
remarkable for their accuracy. They
predicted when cattle were selliug In
the spring for @S.40 to $500 that you
would see the same class of stock sell
for $3.50 before July 4; $4,85 was real
lied before that time. July they pre-
dicted scent cattle barring Christmas
cattle. Watch the market and you
will say that Ben knows something
about the tendency Of the markets.
Wright & Hannah sold fOEty-fiVe
head Of feeders Monday for $3.75.
This was the top Of the feeder market
for that day. There is no firm on the
yard that SCENE to keep nearer the top
round Of sales than this firm. The
above cattle belonged to p. ]. En-
inert, Seneca, Kas. He was highly
pleased. In fact, there are very few
shippers who patronize this firm who
do not realize that they secure every
cent that is In their stock. When

seldom lose him.
