- The San Antonio Express furnishes
the following list of Texas cattle already
sold, with the names Of the purchasers
and points of delivery:
Colorado cattle have stood the winter
admirably. Old stockmen express tile
belief that they are in better condition
now than for years past at the same
season. Contrasted with the outlook
for other grazing states, this is a special
cause for congratulation.
The Stockman has reports from
Washington territory to the effect that
the winter has been a severe one and
stock suffered considerably. In some
places the loss is put at one fifth on
cattle and sheep, and at others it is
thought to be still greater. At Camp
Cour d'Alene, Spokane county, the
snow lay on the ground at n time
thirty inches deep. %
Says the Indicator: Judge Quinlan, of
Quinlan, Montgomery & Co., received
yesterday a letter from Mr.. A. H. John
son, dated San Antonio, Texas, April
II. in the course Of which he says:
stock matters still look gloomy here;
it is still dry; no rain. Herds from the
south and southwest are losing from
three to six per cent of their cattle get
ting this far north. They are all losing
more or less-all of which will lessen
the drive to Kansas"
Sioux City Journal says that ]. R.
Coe, of Sloan, lays claim to the largest
calf at birth ever produced in the
United States'o Great Britain, accord
ing to the record kept by the United
states Stock Journal. The largest calf
at birth of which there is any record is
III pounds in this country and 112
pounds in England, while the calf born
to Mr.. Coe on the 21st of last month
weighed on the day of its birth ia
pounds, and five days thereafter 124
pounds. The animal is not of blooded
stock.
The Sidney Telegraph warns cattle
men interested in stock on the South
Platte, that they had best have a little
care just now. The cattle encounter
greater danger in and about the numer-
Gus water holes than they did during
the excessive snow storms. They are
absolutely too weak to relieve them
selves from the mire surrounding the
water, into which their thirst compels
them. Hence heavy losses will be sus-
tanned, which a little care might OBJ
viate.
The Colorado cattle company has just
transferred to W. H. Vanderbilt and
Mr.. Eastman N. Y. who is known as
''the cattle king" a controlling interest
in that corporation, with a view to vast
extension, through Mr.. Vanderbit's
shipping facilities, of the live beef ex-
portation to Europe. The Colorado
cattle company have owned for seven
years the Huerfano ranch, seventeen
miles broad, on the Huerfano river, IN
Southeastern Colorado, and have no
