But Mr.. Diack believes in booming
the marriage market. He has listened
to the confessions Of scores Of invoi-
untary bachelors. Some Of them
couldn't get acquainted with any nice
girls In this big. busy town. Some
met the girls and then struggled to
keep pace with the high cost Of met
ropolitan courtship. Finally. many
complained of losing money and time
they could III afford in the effort TO
comply with the city's red tape mar

THE LIVESTOCK SITUATION.

A number of California cattle buyers are in the state at the present time, looking for feeder stuff. They are not buying many yearlipgs, but will take all they can get of two and three year old steers, old bulls and old COWS. They find prices a little high for them and they are not contracting much at asking prlces, although some deals have been closed by some of them.
 There is still good demand for cows and heifers, at good prices, but few Arizona range men are selling she stuff this year, and that will be a good thing for the state. for the ranges will carry more stock than is now on them.
 In the southern part of the state, from Salt River south, disposing of their steers and cows to California butchers at 6 cents for steers and cents for COWS that are fat enough to kill. In many years range cattle have not been so fat at this time Of year and the range men are reaping a deserved harvest.
 Sheep are scarce and high. It is almost impossible to buy range sheep at any price, and the owners are all wearing dia- mondS and store shirts.
 Hogs are up again in the price and there is a good demand for all classes at fair prices. Fat, grain finished butcher hogs weighing on average of 175 pounds sold by the Arizona Live ftock Commission Go. this week for 1-4c, but it would take more money than that to buy them now as that class is very scarce and hard to get.
 The dairy COW trade keeps uI good, but most of the trading is being done locally between the farmers and dairymen. Prices range from S65 to S125 on the average. Holstein and other grades run about the same, but registered stuff runs high Stock man Farmer.
