800. .37.5. The latter was a fancy price
paid for six head picked out Of bunch
OF thirty. Stockers nearly as good sold
for S5-65. Ii would be well for buyers
In the country 10 remember that the
stockers that bring the big prices on
this market are picked. and taking them
as they run $500 and 80 is the best
