Farmers are not disposed to sell
their cattle, believing the market will
improve after the rush of range cattle
from the Western States has ceased to
affect prices. Then, too, cattle are
doing finer than for years, the grass te-
ing exceedingly luxurious IN growth
and fat building nutriment.
Meadows are looking much better
than early indications promised owing
to the corp being seriously affected by
the drouth. White top is much in evil
dence this year and will make the quail
ity OF hay inferior. Many blue grass
pastures are showing beautiful sup
ply Of, this undesirable weed.
Wheat is quoted in the local market
at 78 cents per bushel. The crop is all
IN the shock and threshers began work
yesterday. The quality Of. the grain
will be excellent and the yield much
better than last year. Some fields that
were early planted and on strong land
will, it is asserted by experienced
growers, produce from twenty to thirty
bushels. On thin land where the
young plants were more or less affect
ed by the drouth the yield will aver
:e flon 10 to IS bushels.
Dealers who purchased lambs early
in the season for June delivery at 81 to
6 cents per pound are said to have

slightly off. Cne Bourbon shipper who |
had made large advanced prices sold |
to Joe Frakes for S. & S. Co. about

decks last week and will ship the re-
mainder tonight.
