shipments This Year From Western Mon
tana broke the Record.
Missoula, Dec. 14.--John Il. Daily re-
turned Monday night from a trip
through the lower valley and the west
buying cattle. Mr.. Daily says that
he has ever known them to be in this
section. There are very few of the
ranchmen in this county who have any
cattle left over. so anxious have all of
them been during the summer TO mar
ket their stock. The number of cattle
shipped from Western Montana this
year has been a record breaker and the
prices received have, as a rule, been
very satisfactory, but the result has
been that the available supply of beef
cattle is very low and from present
appearances, it Will not be any better
until spring, when the feeders market
the stock now on the ranches for win
ter fattening. Mr.. Daily says that,
while he found a few good cattle this
trip, he does not know where he will
find any more.
Reports from the Clearwater. Bitter
Root and other valleys of the western
part of the state are similar to the
statement made by Mr.. Daily and there
seems to be a dearth of beef cattle all
over this part Of Montana. 1t is said
that in some parts of eastern and
northern Montana the retail meat deal
ers are, thus early III the season. ship
ping in dressed beef from the eastern
packing houses and il may be that local
dealers will be compelled to do the
same before spring.
