the week have been: Cattle, 1904;
I calves, 80; hogs, 500; sheep, 615o;
horses, SO.
The cattle market has remained
stronger to higher. There has been a
I great amount of agitation with regard
to high prices of beef, and, while the
agitators seek to find a 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 higf
price of beef is its absolute and unde
niable shortage. The mutton supply
offers a temporary substitute, but a!
beef becomes scarce and mutton re
ceives more attention it will only b.
a few years until mutton prices will
i. make its use as costly as beef. TIT
= opportunity for profit making in bee,
u raising was never so great as at thi
n time, and when it is considered tina
" permanent fortunes in the cattle indus
S try have followed breeding and raising
as against the losses in steer specula
.. ton, the attractiveness of the cattl
breeding ranch can be easily discerned
