they may. for they made more money
last year than for many years pass.
AT last, the heavy sheep is coming
10 its own and the consumption OF
mutton IL reported TO be larger than
for many years. Arrivals of mature
sheep are beginning 10 fall on, just as
the trade is finding broader market
for mutton. In the west. the most OF
the heavy wethers are coming from
Montana. The only fact that saves
the mutton market from running into
a scarcity Is the liberal arrivals or
dry ewes, which have been coming TO
hand during the last 80 days.
In the lamb division OF western
markets, conditions are reversed from
what they were earlier in the season,
The average quality of the natives
which are coming is much improved,
and, on the other hand, the western
contingent is running much more to
feeder grades than ii did early in the
season. Many OF the western lambs
that are coming TO market at present
are going directly into the hands Oh
feeders. In the feeding lamb division,
the demand Is identical with that Of
this time last year, everyone asking
for light lambs which can be carried
until late in the season, without being
classified as sheep. For the quarter
ended Oct. J. Chicago and Omaha sent
out $4,000 less feeding lambs and

she was tired OF Warthen' end In

bought the clothes for Warthen. She
also gave us $50 before We left. God
knows. Sophia was one OF our dearest

that we would have q hand In her

The arrest OF the couple was due TO
the vigilance of a cab driver who over

tween Conway and local operator.

sheep than for the same period last
year. Since Jan. ! OF the current
year, statistics show that more than
100000 sheep and lambs have been
received al the five big western
markets; less than 100000 went 10
the interior as feeders. and nearly
half OF these have returned to the
market, long ere this. and have been
slaughtered and gone into consump
ton. II will be seen, then. that more
than 100000 sheep and lambs have
cleared for direct consumption from
the five leading western markets dur
ing the past 10 months.
In the hog market, everything
seems To be bullish. except the gen
erai trend of prices, which is rapidly
downward. Arrivals are small and
the demand fairly good from packers
and slaughterers, located in the west
and the middle-west. In the east, the
situation is radically different. The
shipping demand for hogs in western
live stock centers has almost vanish.

have had the time of their lives in
the effort to save their customers
from being put completely out OF busl.

which prices have taken during the
