Chicago. Dec. A grand average
price of S11.44 for fifty two loads of
long-fed steers shown in the carlot
classes, at the live stock show; an av-
the short-fed special classes, and one
load of heifers at $3.50. These were the
phenomenal records made in the 1909
auction sale of carlot exhibits. AS COM

ers simply outshone all previous ef-
forts.

sale, and feeders who fitted steers for

mood to be generous with the inter
national feeders A year ago they were
fairly generous, but this year they
evened up all old scores which the
feeders may have held against them
