The increase in the cattle business

tening.

crease, mostly for home trade The
South st. Paul market stands on its
own merits more in the sheep trade

cation of the company, making J. W.
Johnson, the old manager, treasurer,

poses. Half the produces of the house
is taken by the local trade, and 17S cars
