Sales I AVlial tlie Local Dealers Are Din t D-in The past week has been one of activity and snap so far a the live stock movements move-ments go The runs or sot grass stuff i continue heavy and prices on the whole are better than one would expect after reading as much about the goldbug threats The buyers and sellers or legitImate imate transactions seemed to pay but lit I tle attention to the threats and abuse Y from the muchImposedon money lender I of the east but are going ahead and each day finds a way out of the difficulty and realiy it looks a tough we westerners in a measure will yet be able to do business bus-iness without the aid of our godfathers of the eat who havo always before looked upon the western business man asa as-a ward of theirs and that to do business without his aid or consent was a breach of the highest order That it is changing there can be no question To bo a peon in America i a thing ot the past and you see the doa do-a termination on the par of the masses t today that never existed before The fanner and stock raiser are doing business now on the coop plan largely large-ly and many big deals are being mae in this way and gives the best results toOt to-Ot seller and buyer The fanner has the corn and no money the cattle or r sheep man has stock for sale and when N I he finds that much better prices can be olwained for his stuff when placed on six months time with good security he is convinced at once that it not only helps the farmer who has no money but is a paying investment So we find many h large deals of this kind going on which does not disturb the money market in the least 11 The past week has been the most active t ever known in the feeder line the movements move-ments to the country having been extremely ex-tremely heavy Shipments were 180 cars an even 100 greater than any previous week this year 60 cars larger than a year ago and 3 2 larger than 1S94 Shipments of export cattle last week wre 171 cars against 75 cars a year ag while shipments of hogs last week were j st I 12240 against 3116 a year ago r 1 Late tables quote American beef 10 to 1 cents dressed weight refrigerator beet at 74 American sheep 10 to 10 dressed weights These are very satisfactory prices and It the range cattle and sheep i were in better flesh prices here would be more satisfactory but little of the stock f shipped so far this season has been even tit for home market and scarcely any lit for export The determination on the part of the swine breeders of the cast to improve their stock when prices are so low is a Y I step in the right direction At a recent auction sale of purebred swine at thee the-e Illinois state fair 1303 was paid by H O Minus of Springfield for a young brood tow and J4200 was received for twenty seven head a satisfactory average of 156 F a hear The only way to obtain the 4v highest market prices is to have the best for J 1e and the breeder who lets his stock run down when prices are low will never get the top when the change comes I Salt of Ht RAn sAn s-An enlarged marketing of hogs is shown by the record of the past week Western e packers kid a total of 240000 compared with 165000 the

lower than a week ago The Chlcag market has proven a disappointment dis-appointment to those who were looking for an upward shaping of prices This is t especially notable in mess pork which t ranged

way p down yet the western range man seems to have the bet of the market for there is a demand for his product which he prepares 4 pre-pares for market on the free grass found A on the public domain The cost of preparing pre-paring his product for market is nothing compared with the expense of the eastern farmer who finishes his mutton for mart mar-t let only t rind that the conditions surrounding sur-rounding the consumer are such that there is no demand for the finished article rt arti-cle that will compensate for the feeding of sheep on Ute highpriced lands which constitute the farms of the east and middle mid-dle sta tc When on stops to consider the advantages advant-ages the ratine bhoepmaii has it is not to be wonderd at that the sheep business has proved so attractive to Investors and that the business has grown with such wonderful won-derful strides of late years More than this it is not surprising that there are instances of cattlemen on the northwest Instces ranges who ate running on their ranges bunches of sheep au won as cattle Taken all In all the sheepman is not in such a 4 hard row of stumps as he would have 37 the world believe but of course he is not the possessor of such a snap a he had six or eight years ag nor can he ever expect such 3 chance again In the number of sheep sent to this market in the first eight months of the year Kansas heads the
