The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1898-01-18
january Court Day.

We had nice day FOR court; quite
an improvement over last court day :.
There was a large crowd in town and
business at the cattle pens brisk.
Trade was the best we have seen in
year. Cattle were out of sight in
price and pens about clean by noon.
There were 600 cattle on the market,
quality was good and steers changed
hands in Chicago style. Good steers
sold by weight as high as 44c, but
good judges thought that several
punches of good cattle sold as high as
44c by the head. Yesrlings at dc;
heifers at from 3 to Bic; cows at from
IL 10 &c. Cattle of all kinds were on
boom and sold above the market for
fat cattle. The high water of last
week prevented our mountain traders
from having good many cattle here.
We look for big Offering at February
court and prices lower than to-day, so
we caution our mountain friends to be
careful and not buy at too high prices.
The sales were so brisk that Capt
Jack Stewart the famous auctioneer.
could not even geta chance to say
word.
