The writer attended the Matern sale in Wesley township last Tuesday to hear the auctioneer cry pedigreed stock. Being first on the ground, they had time to inspect cattle and pure bred hogs advertised by Mr. Matern, noting the extreme low market conditions in Chicago for hogs and cattle. The seller commented that the sale was advertised a month too late.
