The street is in bad condition and they
asked that it either he paved with fire
brick or some other kind of brick, other

President Pratt, in answer to the dep

sicn to run a sewer from six houses on
Tenth street between Lombard and
Pine streets.
The officers Of the Diamond Ice

The Journal has said that the de-
mand for the best classes of cattle has
Kept their prices well sustained, and
perhaps this is always true, says Texas
Stock and Farm Journal. There are
several reasons why it pays the best
to produce the best. One of these is
the condition presented by the market
today. and, it might be said, presented
always, that is. that the supply Of
animals of the really choice quality
is SO limited that they are put on a
market where practically they are
without competition. Choice cattle
are now selling as high as at any time
during the year. but their number is
small. On the Chicago market of Sept.
q the cattle receipts are reported at
1S.400. OF this number, II head were
good enough to bring $5.S5 per 100
pounds. Only 16 head brought $50.
and only 295 others commanded over
$3.50. 1t is needless to say that these
cattle were ripened for market at q
cost far below most of the fed cattle
that sold for much less. The differ
ence lay mostly in the quality at the
very beginning. Those that command
ed the highest price were of a beet
breed, early maturers. of a type that
not only takes on more flesh in pro-
portion to the feed consumed than is
possible to inferior animals. even with
the most scientific feeding. but that
developed largely in proportion to the
entire carcass those parts that supply
the choicest cuts to the butcher. The
time will come, and it is not far of.
when men of moderate means cannot
afford to raise scrub cattle, even up
on the range, for the discrimination
against them continually grows
stronger.
