IOWA FARMS
oTTUMWA PROPERTY AND
HORSE SALES.
LAST FRIDAYS SALE.

E It was the smallest one we have held
in a year and a half Had only about
80 horses, and almost half that many
buyers. among them such buyers of
the good sort as Parker, Baker &
Cooley, Myers, Hall, Lawson, Winslow,
McCollum-men who ship almost ex-
clusively to the markets of the far east,
each one here ready to buy a load Of
his kind at the present market value.
1t Is true prices We're not so high as
they have been by $15 to $25 per head
but that Is the case in all eastern mar
kets, and in my opinion will be the
case the balance of the year In fact
If it were not against the law to pro-
pose wager in a newspaper, / would
offer to bet new hat that horses will
not sell SO high again in ten years as
they did this spring. They will gradu
ally sell lower. But the moral / draw
from our experience at last Fridays
sale, when we had but few horses and
lot Of buyers ready to take every
horse at his full market value, regard
less of the fact that there were to be
no auctions in Chicago Is this: The
time to ship horses to the Ottumwa
market is every other Friday, just
twelve months in the year.
Our buyers are most all from eastern
markets, and SO small an item as tho
| suspending of the Chicago sales does
not hinder our market here
There Is one point, however, want
to call the attention of our dealers par
| ticularly to, and that is the import
ance Of sending me word as early as
possible about what you will have; It
Is big help to me in getting buyers
| here.
NEXT SALE JULY IL, and it will
| be very widely advertised.

BUYS ITS SLEEPING CARS.
Texas Central Applies for Authority
to Adopt Reduced Rates.

DALLAS, Tex, June S.-The Texas
Central Railroad Company has given no
tice to the state railroad commission that
it has bought its own sleeping cars, to be
delivered on July l, and has applied for
authority to adopt a rate of $3.50 for
lower and 81 for upper berths between
Waco and Rotan, 2GS miles
The railroad commission is gratified and
the rates applied for undoubtedly will be
approved at the hearing to reduce the
sleeping rates. Other Texas railroads
asserted that they could not obtain sleep
Ing cars and went into the federal courts,
joined by the Pullman company and pre-
vented the commission from enforcing the
rates now adopted by the Texas Central.
