GOOD CATTLE PRICES
w. P. Noble Sells Steers for $50
Each.
A SCARCITY OF BEEF
FOUR HUNDRED HEAD SOLD BY
NOBLE.

A bunch of 800 steers and 100 cows
for beef, selling for nearly $4,000, is
an illustration of the prime condition
of the market. This lot Of beef. cattle
was sold the other day from the ranch
of ". 2. Noble in Clover Valley, New.
for shipment TO san Francisco for early
slaughter, and Manager Fred Noble ex-
poets to III a larger order for San
Francisco delivery in a few days at
still higher prices.
The 300 steers averaged I $50 pounds
in weight each, and sold for S4.25 per
100 pounds on the hoOf- The COWS
weighed out at lilo pounds average.
and sold for $3.50 per 100. The steers
brought SIS eaCh, and the cows S3S.
In discussing the condition of the
market Manager Noble said last even
ing that there is a Very. great scarcity
OF beef cattle in the mountain states,
and the owners Of what few feeders
are left are holding out for a sure ad-
vance in prices. which. even now are
very remunerative to the ranchers. Not
for twelve or fourteen years has Cali
tOrnia been so good a market for beef
cattle as it is now and will continue TO
be for some time. Locally and on the
coast dressed beef is retailing at 8%
cents pound, and Mr.. Noble predicts
that before March 1 the price viii be
up to 10 cents.
So desperate is the situation that
butchers do not know where they can
get enough cattle toE supply the de-
mandS to be made upon them for the
next sixty days, and Manager Noble is
confident that with the strong upward
tendency of prices not a few of the
feeders viii reap the advantage that is
coming their way.
Mr.. Noble viii return to the ranch
TODAY and make up a lot of 500 head
of beef, about half Of which are coming
2-year- odds, for shipment to the west
ern market. He believes that he viii
get $3.50 per 100 pounds for them. be
cause already butchers are bidding
within an eighth of what he is holding
out for.
