of Gamers at s2.0062.10. While some

Arrivals of $4,000 cattle yesterday
We're a few hundred below last Mon
day. but included 1900 western range
cattle of pretty good quality, and some
of the buyers showed a preference for
these as against medium natives,
which partly accounted for the dull
and lower prices in the closing hours.
The range cattle season was form
ally opened when 1900 arrived from
Dakota and Wyoming. Quality of the
steers was quite good and better, in
fact, than many local traders had ex-
pected. Still the lateness of the sea-
sons opening naturally called for a
good quality of arrivals and this ma
terialized. About two-thirds of the
run came from Dakota and liberal
supply Of she stock was here from
Wyoming. Prices received were very
satisfactory to the owners and the
initial sales gave indication subsequent
marketing this season will bring the
best prices paid here since 1902.
A sensational price was made on
band of Idaho yearling ewes yester-
day at $3.50. 1t is a record figure, but
they weighed but SO pounds, had
black face cross and We're an ideal
band for starting a breeding flock.
Pogue & Son. of Elliott. We're in with
cattle which sold at a good price. Mr..
Pogue reports not many cattle left,
hogs and old corn scarce.
]. S. Conger, an influential and sub
stantial shipper to these yards from

cattle pretty we'll shipped out. Hogs
about in the usual supply.
