the week have been: Cattle, 1904;

The cattle market has remained
stronger to higher. There has been a
great amount of agitation with regard
to high prices of beef, and, while the
agtators seek to find bug under the
chip in price manipulation by the kill
ers, there has been no satisfactory solu-
ton from that source. The real and
only reason for the continued high
price of beef is its absolute and unde-
niable shortage. The mutton supply
offers temporary substitute, but as
beef becomes scarce and mutton re-
ceives more attention it will only be
a few years until mutton prices will
make its use as costly as beef The
opportunity for profit making in beef
raising was never SO great as at this
time, and when it is considered that
permanent fortunes in the cattle indus
try have followed breeding and raising
as against the losses in steer specula-
lion, the attractiveness of the cattle
breeding ranch can be easily discerned
The sheep market has been steady.
The hog market for the week was
