Manly had been away from the ranch nearly six months, and he and Dell rode the range, pending the return of the absent. Under ideal range conditions, the cattle of marketable age proved a revelation, having rounded into form beyond belief. "That's why I love cattle," said Manly to Dell, while riding the range; "they never disappoint.
This can never be sold as regular marketable coal; but it is rich in carbon, and much of it might be used if it could be marketed near the mines and sold as low-grade coal. In the past there has been almost no market for it, and if it were either in the roof or bottom of the coal bed, it has been left unmined.
Have not I told you, seventy times over, that everything a man has his coat, his hat, the tumblers he drinks from, nay, his very corporeal existence is absolute marketable capital? What do you call that fourteen-gallon cask, I should like to know?" "A compound of hoops and staves, containing about a quart and a half of spirits you have effectually accounted for the rest."
Then these latter gents of flunkeydom in frills had big sticks in their hands, with which they kept the flies from my Lord's good-natured countenance.

A million wild horses in sight would be of no marketable value if they could not be trapped. So he bent his keen gaze here and there, up and down the valley, across to the far side, and upon the steep wall near by. "Blink, see that deep wash running down the valley? It looks a good deal closer to the far side. That's a break in the valley floor all right.
The unpleasant fact is that these dividends were paid with borrowed money merely to make the stock marketable. It is not unlikely that the padded construction accounts, already described, may have concealed large disbursements of money for unearned dividends. When the Metropolitan was listed in 1897, it immediately went beyond par.
In short, Mary was a marketable product, and Lydia was not. Cliff came to tell Lydia that he and Mary were to be married, and that she had always been his best pal, and that their friendship had been one of the sweetest things in his life. He kissed her in brotherly fashion when he went away.
