Reef Shortage.

The greatest scarcity of beef cattle
ever known is prevailing at Chatta-
nOoga and in that vicinity. Local
dealers find it next to impossible to buy
cattle in sections usually well stocked
and the country towns are unable to

in the nearest market. Butchers say
that there has never been such a condi-
ton in that section since the war, and
they are unable to explain it.
