CHATS WITH SHIPPERS.
cat least one, Western shipper W II use
this market in the future. 1 think said a
prominent cattle IMAM at the South St. Paul
yards yesterday u Recently he shipped a
train of cattle in here and sold to splendid
advantage. Then shorty afterwards came
another train. They were offered for sale
and good price bid for them, considering
the Chicago market. The people in charge
was withdrawn and sent on to Chicago. 1t
sold there the next day at prices that had
been steady with the previous day, but when
the owner began to figure he was a little
freight, terminal charges, switching. feed
ing, bedding, and the numerous other things
that were made necessary in sending the
train on, he found that he was between S4)0
and $500 short on the sum he would have
received for his cattle had he sold for TOE
price offered n South st. Paul. and he sold
at the top of the Chicago market too"

Midway Horse Market.
Barrett & Zimmerman's repcrt: The trade
ruled rather quiet on the market. The de-
mand was in the direction of heavy horses
which were not very numerous on the mar
ket. Good farm chunks were the only N.Y.
kota dealers were on the market, but did
not purchase, awaiting better supply,
which will arrive tomorrow. The nominal
value of serviceable sound horses was as
follows:
Drafters, extra ............1, 100 $165
