LAVE sToUE

The Texas cattle drive for, the coming
spring Is estimated at 100000 head. The
cattle ON the northern ranges are also re.
ported in very good condition in spite OF
the exceptional severity of the weather. 1t
is said that the storms Of this winter have
forever settled the question OF ranging cat
tie on the plains. The business is no longer
experimental, The storms have demons
trated that cattle can live through any
weather. Mr.. Davis president of the
Stock. Growers association, OF Wyoming,
regards cattle as worth SO more per head
since the storms, because their security is
assured,
| An exchange says: Advices from Fort
Benton, Montana, report cattle and sh eep
as having wintered well and being in good
condition. 1t is said that sheep-ow ners
who since the winter of 1880 81 have pre-
pared themselves with an abundance of
| hay have as yet fed little or none of 1t to
their hocks The stock interests of this
territory are in highly prosperous condi-
ton. 1t IS doubtful if any considerable
quantity of stock cattle could be bought
for less than $50 per head, including all
branded calves. Sheep have not advanced
| in price, but an unusual demand for them
has thus sprung up.
In his annual report the secretary OF the
Chicago exchange says the aggregate value
of the animals arriving at Chicago during
the year 1882 has been greater than during
the previous year, though the number has
been somewhat less. The aggregate value
of the animals was $1S6,670,22l, against
| $183 ,007 10 in 1881. The number of cattle
and calves was 1,6O7 ,495; hogs, 5, Sl7,5O4;
sheep, 62S, 1887; horses, 1856. The increase
| in the product of cattle and sheep in the
western states and territories has been very
marked, and still promises almost lndet-
mite expansion. The receipts OF hogs have
been less than in 1881, but Chicago has not
in this respect lost any of its prestige as
the leading market both for the sale and
packing of this class of stock. The con-
sumption of cattle in the city, including
packing in its various forms, has b zen 65l,-
600 head; sheep, 314, 900: hogs, 4,09S 100.
The export, both of cattle and fresh beef,
mainly owing to the high prices, has been
very much less than in 1881.

WOOL AND HIDES,

A late Boston paper says: Already in.
terror markets are more or less excited and
farmers are beginning to look for extreme
prices for the next clip. 1t may be that we
are forcing the market into position
where a reaction is sure to follew. 1t is
only within a few weeks when fair profit
has been realized on last years clip. At
least three-quarters of the clip has been
sold, during the year, at a price that
scarcely paid cost, and we are now forcing
the market into position where the same
result will follow next year. Importing
considerable wool from abroad, without re-
gard to condition, is also very likely to
bring this result about. 1t would be well
therefore, to move cautiously, because 1t is
doubtful if the present boom will continue
for any length oftime.
The business in unwashed fleeces has
been good, when we consider that stocks
are very much broken and that desirable
lots of fine and medium are scarce. The
sales have been 564, 900 pounds OF all kinds,
including Texas, territory, Georgia, Ore
gon and western fleeces, at the usual wide
range of prices, the details of which are
noted below. Choice medium western
feeces have been sold at 80 to 30 cents. and
fine from "a to 80 cents per pound, with
considerable low and coarse at 81 to "a
