| tensely interesting to the sheep pro-
ducers of the Yakima valley that the
market price in Chicago right now for
Eearllng lambs from the west is $3.50
per hundred which is the highest fig
ure that any person here interested in
the Chicago market can recall the
Hearllngs ever to have gone. OF course
/ tnlS means extra fine stuff with the
| wool one. etc, but it indicates "A
strong market and prospect for good
sales when the Yakima crop begins 20
move. That 1t will go east this wear
appears at this time to be certain
| mere are various reasons for this
one is the better price obtained and
another is that Chicago is so large a
market that 1t can take up at one
tlme practically all that is likely to
be offered whereas selling at this end
must necessarily be done in small lots
II . CONN, who returned to the
lclty Monday from visit to his Wenas
iahch says ne never saw stock looking
better than 1t Is at present, all the
conditions considered. Animals of all

PICKED up and are sleek and fat. Mr..
CONN also brought in the report that
ne mad succeeded in getting an eight
cent price for his hogs making local
sales. The market here is reported
