Hon QUorATIoNs.-Says the Droy-
ers Journal: From the present indi-
cations it will be cheaper for feeders to
fill the distilleries this fall with
''natives" or cattle from this and ad-
joining states, than with half breeds
and Americans from the plains, as
has been their custom for years.
Though there are comparatively few
desirable feeding cattle coming to mar
ket, the majority of the offerings are
from nearby points, as, fortunately for
themselves, western ranchmen show a
strong disposition to hold their cattle
until fit for the butcher. 1t is rather
early in the season for western feeding
lcattle to appear in large quantities, as
buyers do not want them during the
heated term, but indications point to q
very much smaller proportion of feed
ing cattle from the west this year than
usual, owing the fact of the general
average condition of the stock being so
much better than common. Grass is
indeed king this year, and ranchmen
have cause to appreciate its worthmore
freely than ever before. Texas cattle
selling at S400(64,75, and h~alf-breeds
and American at S4.75G5 so, are un-
heard-of prices since the range cattle
trade has been OF much Importance In
the markets of the country. To have
cattle from the plains outselling unripe
animals of equal weight, from this and
adjoining states, seems almost an
anomaly, but when the fact that range
cattle shrink in dressing even less than
| an n xvar oa ~, fah otnak 10 nnnQlhpr-
ed, it can be readily understood why
buyers give them preference over I'M
ripe natives. Ranchmen certainly have
great reason to feed gratided at the re-
suit of the seasons work, so far as it
has been developed"
Peter Anderson returned from Wyo-
ming Monday last, having been on a
trip to the cattle range of Hanna
Anderson 81 Campbell, of which firm
Mr.. Anderson is a member. Mr.. An
derson met a herd consisting of 1880
beeves on the way to the railroad to be
shipped to the Chicago market. He
says The feed is excellent on the range,
and that this shipment of cattle are in
better condition than the one shipped
several weeks ago, which sold at a
handsome price. The shipment will be
made about September, 15th.-[Fort
Collins Express.
The Chicago live stock has taken
quite a tumble from the dizzy prices of
last week. Wednesdays quotations

Wyoming's sheep interests are grow
ing more rapidly than its cattle bust
ness.
DIR. Hopkins has returned from the
Chugwater where ne has been to eX-
anime some fine cattle which he found
affected with a disease Of the eyes
caused by sudden change as from warm
days to cold nights, sc. No trouble is
app rehended.
AS will be seen by a notice else
where Keogh Bros. have $4,000 sheep
at Green river enroute this way. Last
summer they sold 10000 head Of this
class of sheep, which average from ten
to twelve pounds of wool per head.
Wool. - Recent wool circulars !:
Activity in demand and steadiness of
sales are the notable features of the
wool market. Every one is busy, yet
there is no excitement. 1t is a surprise
to many hat prices do not advance, and
without question Il great deal of wool is
held for a future market, but manu-
faeturers have 10 difficulty i'll securing
ample supplies. Our own Judgment is
that prices for the best fine washed
feeces will gradually improve, but the
advance will be very moderate, and will
not justify the expectations of Ohio
and Pennsylvania farmers who are now
holding for 4Oc. A few fancy clips may
be worth doc, but if shippers are to
make q profit they must buy first-class
wool at 30 to 36c. The demand runs
largely for unwashed, territory, &c,
as has been the case for some time past,
the transactions for the past week of
this class amounting to one-thIrd of the
entire sales in the market. These woods
have met with n good demand from
manufacturers, as offering cheaper
stock than washed 0eeces. The demand
for the finer grade of delaine and com
hing 1eccps continues active. N all
