WOULD SAVE THE PASTURES

The season of the grass-fed and western
cattle has arrived at the South Omaha
market fully two weeks ahead OF schedule.
1t is usual to receive large consignments
from the ranges about August l. This year,
however, the spring season opened early
and the early grass was good The later
growing season has been cut short by dry
weather and pasturage is hard to find. For
this reason the cattle men are sending In
their surplus that the ranges may be saved
for the cattle of the general herd. Many OF
the cattle are in excellent condition just off
the grass and it is true at present that
few feeders are buying with the prospect
of very high corn and hay for the season.
The fear Is commonly expressed that the
corn crop will be exceedingly light in many
sectlonsr Under these conditions the mar
ket for western cattle has dropped off
nearly so cents in the last four or five
days. Fat cattle sell at fair to high prices,
but the stock which would ordinarily be
the best of feeder stuff goes much cheaper
on account of lack of demand.
| The western sheep and lambs have also
| found their way to the Omaha market. The
same in general is true of the lamb trade
as of the cattle. The hog receipts for
the present week have been fair so far.
