leads all who are not Intimately connected

II the truth lie known, values of Texas
muttons are still high despite the declines
o. the past few weeks 1t IS entirely
within the bounds Of reason aud accord.
ing TO the laws of nature for grass sheep
TO begin to depreciate in value at this
timo of the year. True, 1t Is little early
Tor the movement of grassers from the
West and Northwest TO set in and cause
values to break, but the near approach
OF the season for the movement of the
latter is an excuse for u hearish attitude
on the part OF buyers. This year the
annual depression should be acceutuated
because of the remarkably high plane to
which values had ascendCd. IL Is safe to
say that muttons soid higher the past win
