) SUPREME SHORTHORN SALES.
THE DAILY RBXAMINE’& CHAR OTTETOWN SEPTEMBER
5» 1900
Perhaps the most significant sale of pure-bred cattle ever held in this country was that of the celebrated W. D. Flatt herd of imported and Cana- dian bred Shorthorns, Aug. 7, 1900, in Dexter Park Amphitheatre at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago. This herd was gathered from the best ani- mals and prize-winners in England, Scotland and Canada, and brought as an experiment to Chicago for sale at auction, the purpose being to demon- strate the value of such cattle in the United States at the present time.
In this sale, 44 cows and _ heifers brought $3°,135) 2m averaze of $708.- 52 each, and15 bullsand calves sold for $11,690, an average of $779.33, making a total of 59 animals for $46,- 825, ora general average of $793.64 per head. The highest price was paid for an impcrted two-year-old heifer, “Mayflower 5th,” calved July 10, 1808, bred by L. de Rothschild, Ascot, Eng- land, and sold to Col. G. M. Casey, Shawnee Mound, Mo., for $2,600. The highest priced bull was imported “Orange Chief” for $1,510, to Mr. E. W. Bowen, Delphi, Ind. The Canadian heifer, “(Queen of the Louans”, calved Jan. 3, 1899, brought $1,800, and a Canadian cow, “Mildred 6th’, sold for $1,325, both to Mr. E. S. Kelley, of Springfield, Ohio. The Canadian bull, ‘Royal Banner”, went for $1,505, to Mr. H.F. Brown, Minneapolis, Minn. Forty-five imported an mals brought $36,105, or amaverage of $802.33 each, and 14 Canadian-bred animals sold for $10,720, an avelage of $765.71.
These figures show in what estim- ation such stock is held. No such magnificent gathering of Shorthorn breeders has occured, and no_ such prices have been realized for any breed of cattle, since the celebrated Cochrane saie of Shorthorns in Dexter Park in 1874, and the New York Mills sale in August, 1873, and one or two sales in the early eighties. The values then realized, however, were for fashionable strains of show cattle, wherein pedigree andthe fancy of wealthy buyers more than individual merit determined the price. Now, values are based on the practical basis of the actual dollars and cents income or profit to be derived from individual performance in breeding, and never before has the cold, mercenary criterion been so strictly applied as in the Flatt sale. This fact, together with the prices realized, speaks volumes for the high merit of the animals offered, apart from their pedigrees. They are worth every dollar they brought for the improvement in value on the market for beef of the herds they wiil become the progenitors of.
The dispersion was as follows: Iowa 4, $17,160; Illinois 6, $2,615; Ohios, $5,565; Kansas 5, 53,875; Minnesota
4, $3,680; Indiana 4, “5,015; Wiscon- sin 2, $1,450; Missouri 3, $4,100; Michigan 1, $335; Vermont 1, $725,
and Ontario 4, $2,305—ten states and Canada being represented by purchasers. ‘The states bordering on the Mississippi river and eastward took 50 head at $40,645, while the more westward states took only 5 head at $3,875, and Canada 4 head at $2,305. he
The above is a sufficie-t answer to the claim sometimes made by interest- ed parties that the best bidders for high-class breeding cattle are west of the Missouri river. For the third time this year, and in each of the three leace ing breeds of beef cattle, it has been demonstrated that Dexter Park Amphi theatre, Chicago, is the best place in the world to dispose of such stock; the first being the dispersion of the Wallace, Estill herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle, on March 22 and 23, when sev- enty-two head brought $41,699, or an average of $579,30 each, and the sec- ond being the dispersion of the Fair- view herd of Hereford cattle, by Mr. F. A. Nave, of Attica, Ind., April 17 and 18, in which 96 animals sold for $64,415, an average of $671 each.
These sales have not only enhanced the values of choice breeding cattle ofall breeds, and encouraged and benefited the entire beef cattie in- dustry of the nation, but the Flatt sale undoubtedly will encourage the

pure-bred cattle in the United States. Mr. Flatt deserve: great credit for his experiment. He has demonstrated that American breeders have a grow- ing confidence in the stability of good prices for first-class breeding stock, and he has shown to foreign breeders that Chicago is the recognized market of the world tor sales and purchases of hleoded cattle for breeding purposes. marketing of imported and Canadian The “Breeders Gazette” |comments as follows: “It is necessary to hark back sixteen years to find an average at an auction sale of Shorthorn cattle equal to that recorded at the Flatt offering last Tuesday when fifty-nine head averaged $793.64. Counting with their dams three sucking calves, catalogued with the cows but sold separately (a method of calculating averages sometimes usec,) we have an average of $836.16 on tifty-six lots. The full significance of these averages can only be appreciated when it is Stated that no extreme prices were bid. The top price was $2,€00, the bottom $275—the only time the figure fell below $300. Only eight of the 59 head dropped beiow $400. Such figures carry their own comment. The sale was a huge success. There is much comfort and encouragement in the fact that the individual excellence of the offering rather than the paper pedigrees commanded the high prices. Breeders are engaged in a cattle hunt, not pedigree hunt, nowadays. The word ‘impo:te.’ was not an open sesame tc pocketbooks. That breeders do not intend to buy animals at big prices merely because they are import- ed was clearly demonstrated at Dexter Park. The results of this sale, gratifying to Shorthorn breeders as setting the auction-ring record for years past of all breeds should empha- size this warming. It is no invitation for speculators in cheap cattle to rush in; it is rather a positive warning that such speculation would prove unprofit- able. The sale was a model in its conduct and altogether a red-letter day in the history of Shorthorns.”
