STEERS At $3.50 PER HEAD.
Hamilton County Farmer Receives
$500 for Shipment Of Stock.

Special to Times republican.
Webster City, Aug. 26.-Alexander
Groves, Of this city. has just received
what Is probably the highest price ever
paid for Hamilton county fat steers.
He is in receipt Of check for cool
$500 from his Chicago commission
house as payment for just thirty-four
steers shipped to that market.
Mr.. Groves has fed cattle for years.
His farm is located south Of this city
near Kamrar. The market on fat steers
has been pretty high for some time and
few days ago Mr. Groves loaded In
bunch Of thirty-four pretty fine look
ing butched animals. He got top
price of $1,000 per hundred weight, or
total Of $500 for them. This is an
average Of $50 for each animal-from
which the deduction is easily made
that the raising of fat steers In Iowa is
profitable. So far as known this Is
the highest price ever paid for fat
steers in Hamilton county.
