Fortune for a Steer.
Pasd $3.50 PEI Pouad. 1.-Two Weight, for
Wearing Steer.

Tearing Steef.
At the international live stock show in
Chicago last week sI.5o per pound on the
hoof was paid for a long yearling Aber-
deen-Angus stee: which weighed 1890
pounds. Stanley R. Pierce of Creston,
ILL.,, was the seller, and President Fred
Joseph of the S%warzschild & Sulzberger
company, New York, the buyer.
Advance is the name of the steer which
was led into the auction amphitheater.
Representatives of the big packing
houses we're the bidders and the fight
for the animal narrowed down to a con-
test between Chicago, represented by
James Brown of Armour & Co., and New
York, represented by Mr.. Joseph.
The New York nan made the opening
bid Of IS cents a pound. He was
promptly chased to 81 by Mr.. Brown.
Thirty minutes after the bidding was
started Auctioneer Charles Judy knocked
the animal down to Mr.. Joseph at just
ten times the amount of his opening bid,
$3.50 a pound.
The steer weighed 1890 pounds, max
ing the purchase price s2,I45. The terms
of the sale were that the animal was to
be killed for Christmas beef. Queen
V%ictoria's prize steer was sold for $3.50,
the previous highest price on record.
Advance had previously been awarded
the champion cup prize offered for the
best beef animal.
For a Car lot of fifteen steers $3.50 a
hundred weight was paid to L. H. Ker-
rick by a Weber, a Kansas City man.
This is the highest price in the history
of the world for a full load of steers.
Dolly, a ~4-year.old Hereford COW the
property OF Glenn Graves of Bunker Hill,
Ind, was bought by c. A. Jameson Of
Peoria, ILL.,, tor $3.50, the highest price
ever paid for a Hereford COW.
A 2-year old Hereford steer, weighing
1870 pound, was the largest in his class
on exhibition and took the second prize
as a beef animal.
The average price for the shorthorn
sale was $500, at which figure DR.. J. D
Cole of Newbern, Tenn, purchased the
3-year old imported bull, Star Of the
North, who won first prize in his class.
The highest priced female was Village
Maiden, who went to c. c. Bigler, Hart
wick, Iowa, at 5000.
1t was Dec. 10, 1909, that I6 high grade
Angus steers sold in Chicago at sS.25 pei
cwt., averaging 1898 lbs. The following
day a lot Of IL sold at the same price
averaging 1880 lbs, being the highes
price paid for carload lots in 16 year
previous to that date. On June 2, 1881
5000 per cwt. was paid for IS head o
Shorthorn, averaging 1923 lbs. Back ii
the sixties it is said cattle sold over 81,
per 100 lbs, but there is no official recor,
Of such prices.
Thus it will be seen that the S15o pc
100 lbs. paid for Advance smashes al
former records.

seem to prefer that the tax remain,

amount to about S7,ooo,ooo an
