low prices of livestock which alleged
to be due to a combine between the
packers, The sale of cattle barely

is mortgaged when taken into the feed
lots by the farmers, and cattle paper
which has hitherto been gilt-edge Sc
curity. finds less favor despite the
interest rates running as high as 10

which lays the golden eggs" local

prosperity of the southwest which the
financial disturbances in the east were
unable to affect"
