Sensational flood predictions, for which
there is no good foundation, helped TO at

Corrected by the National Stock Yards

ner, PresidenEl
The trade in mules and horses have
been fairly good this week. but not quite
as good as we expected, as the heavy
rains have left the farmer in such a con-
ditiOn that they could not use the stock
If they should buy them. Therefore, they
are putting on buying till the last hour
Now owing to the heavy rains out West
the traffic over a good many of the rail-
roads is being put out of business.
There has not been much buying or
selling OF stock during the past week
Therefore the market of the West has
become CORDED to a certain extent and
prices out there have declined $40 to SIS
a head. We do not know Just how long
formed that the railroads will be ready
to receive shipments by Monday and we
believe that stock raisers and dealers will
be willing 10 part with our stock at
reduced price rather than ship them back
home or keep them on expense bill such
as storage, feed and insurance
At present we are inclined TO think
this is the time to purchase stock. as
we are confident that this decline will
only last for the next few days, then
