Macleod, Alberta, Jan 31-This
town was invaded Tuesday night by
fully 5000 head of half famished range
cattle, and host of mounted men are
now endeavoring to drive the animals
outside the town limits. Range cattle
are in exceedingly bad shape and the
losses will run high. AS the result of
walking thru the crusted snow, the
legs of many of the animals are raw
and bleeding. Many of them can hard
ly stand, and every night many die
from exposure and weakness.
The chinook wind which visited this
part last week was warm but of brief
duration. While it lasted the prairie in
many places was covered with water
and sloppy snow. Ten minutes after
the chinook dropped the prairie was
one sheet of ice. and before morning
the drifts could be crossed on horse
back.
1t is impossible for cattle to reach
feed, and they are punched together
and ceaselessly move about. This is
reducing them In flesh very fast.
The winter is the coolest experienced
in twenty years. All outside work has
been stopped by the cold. which has
prevailed almost without a break since

and at firm prices. There were not
many lots of heifers good enough to
go above s4.T5. but prime kind was
worth 50 and higher. Most of the
good to choice heifers sold at $4@4.50,
and the medium to good heifer stock
at $S@365 Some prime COWS made
$475, and bulk of fat grades, s3.75@
435 while medium cows went mostly
at $3.1O@3.50.
Shipping demand for hogs compare
lively light.
Hog shipments have fallen off this
week.
Buyers claim that the local houses
still have a liberal supply of beef from
light killing steers and naturally they
are not keen bidders for such kinds to-
day.
Hog receipts thus far this week show
an increase of about $4,000 compared
with same period last week, and 10000
compared with corresponding time last
year.
