hundred dollars worth of property to
the satisfaction of seller and buyer.
Success of this sale probably wa>
partially responsible for the fact that
this was the best bargain day since
last fall
There were only a few bad features
in this sale which can be eliminated by
a better understanding The man
who asked S1.7o for hens had better
not have offered them, and the man
who was bid $40 for COW and puf n
reserve bid on her of $50. made another

take when he refused Il S52 hid and
placed Il bid of $50 on her.
We bring these things out. as they
are the things that hurt these market

things may be avoided and bigger sue
