In reviewing the markets for the year it is gratifying to note that feeding operations were generally productive of profit. As always, and especially during a year when much poor feed must be sold or fed on the farms, the live stock farmer had a decided advantage.

Prices paid at these markets compare favorably with those else- where. This with the shorter ship and consequent lower.
