Range Cattle Shipments.
In speaking OF the shipments Of range
cattle to this market L. A. Cudahy said
Thursday afternoon that he did not look
for any big run of cattle this fall.
MY sdvices from the range country"
said Mr.. Cudahy, ARE that the feed is in
fine condition and the cattle doing remark
ably well. The weather has not been cold
enough yet to cause any rush of cattle to
market and do not expect any. The ship
ments will, in my opinion. come in grad
ually instead of in a rush, as sometimes
happens. The reason. for this is the excel
lent feed the good condition of the cattle
and the prevailing prices Many owners OF
herds win hold back until prices stiffen up
