The Chicago Live Stock Market broke its own record the other day when the sale of the thoroughbred Hereford bull, “Dale,” property of the Wabash Cattle Company of Wabash, liul.. was consummated for the sum of SIO,OOO. “Dale” was sold iu 11)00 for $7,500, his buyer being Clem Graves of Bunker Hill, 111. Afterward Mr. Graves sold him to the Wabash people for SB,OOO. “Dale” is the sire of “Perfection,”, who sold for SO,OOO, this being the highest bona fide price then recorded for a single hull in this country.-Recently Jesse Adams made an offer to the Wabash people for “Dale” and the sale was closed for SIO,OOO. This establishes a record for Hereford cattle that is likely to stand for some time. •
