RECENT PUBLIC SALES
Unusually Large Crowds Attend and
Good Prices Prevail.

Several remarkable public sales
have been conducted in 'Mahaska
county of recent cate and unusually
high prices have prevailed. Hogs
at public sales are selling above the
market price. Corn has sold at II
cents the bushel, the highest price
ever paid in Mahaska county at sales
of this character.
Advance market price of both grain
and stock is reflected in the sales.
Where the price of feed is so high the
price of stock is correspondingly
high and the stock must bring a good
figure. Where the quality of the
property approaches anything like a
desirable point the bidding is active
and prices given are exceptionally
good.
Crowds and attendance at all sales
have been. in excess of the average.
This fact is accounted for in two d.
rections. In the first place the quail
ity of the offerings has been excel
lent, considerable amount of blood
ed stock having been available, and in
the second place owners have adVer-
tised more widely than usual, having
used newspaper space generously and
extended the publicity of their sale
dates and listed property. In each
and every case where space has been
used in the papers the sales have been
largely attended and the total amount
Of the sales has more than justified
the expenditure for greater publicity
Below are listed several of the larg
er sales of the latter part of October
cried by |. M. Reed, the veteran auc
tiOneer. incidentally Mr.. Reed
states that October was the banner
month of years of experience. Never
before has he secured such prices nor
has buying been more spirited. ANY
thing in the way of definite value has
been snapped up and sales have been
very rapid.
Weather the latter part Of the
month was unfavorable and in several
cases sales were conducted in the
rain. Bad roads made getting about
difficult but in each and every case
buyers were on hand from a distance
Another point, settlements, with is
olated exceptions, have been made in
cash. All buyers have money with
which to back their bids and business
has been of strictly bona fide char
acter, no saving bids having been of
fered where price was not satisfac
tory to owner
All sales have exceeded in total the
amount expected.
Mr.. Reed, states that the total sales
made by him during the month oil
October exceed in amount the sum
OF SIS, 100000.
