Five Carloads Bring an Advance Of
One-fourth Gent.

One-f fourth Gent.
| The Boise Statesman refers as fol-
lows 10 the situation and prospects OF
the business of raising beeves in
Idaho:
Five carloads of beef cattle were
shipped from the Boise stock yards
this week by John Mcmillan, which
were pronounced by the buyers to
have been probably in better condition
than any other alfalfa-fed cattle that
have been shipped from this section.
The cattle We're shipped to a Portland
firm.
Mr.. Mcmillan stated yesterday that
the cattle averaged in weight about
11I5 pounds and he received four
cents for them in Boise. This price.
he said, was quarter of a cent high
er than another sale of the alfalfa.
fed beef cattle that had been made.
Mr.. Mcmillan said the western cat
tie market was on the raise, especial
ly through this section. He gave as
a reason that the coast cities had
counted on buying a large number
of cattle in Montana. The eastern
market strongly demanded Montana
stock with the, result that prices were
run so high there that the coast cities
could not afford to buy in Montana
and ship west. Instead. they almost
cleaned up the stock in Idaho, and
other western states. Mr.. Mcmillan
said he did not know of another
bunch of cattle in this section that
could he bought for the market.
