A rumor had obtained circulation that
the firms of Udell, Schmieding d Co. and
Samuel Cupples & Co. were to consolidate
A Post Dispatch reporter called upon Mr.
Freeman e. Udell this morning and asked
for information regarding the rumors OF
the business change. Mr.. Udell said: The
business July 1. Mr.. Schmieding and myself
are going into the cattle business near Colo
RADIO City, Texas, where my brother, Spen-
eer r. Udell, has already located. We are
satisfied fully with our business, have been
making money and are doing prosperous
and growing business. We, however, have
decided to invest oar capital in the cattle
business, and will associate under the name
of the St. Louis Cattle company.
The Drovers' Journal of this city says
Prices which 400 to 1000 pound corn.ied
cattle are realizing, $3.50 to So 20, are posi-.
lively discouragIng in view of the fact that
handy LOO to 1000 steers are fetching
$3.50 to $3.50. There ought to be greater
difference between merely ileshy light cat
tie and choice ripe stock. Vi
course it is natural to suppose that as
grass cattle become more plenty and corn
fed stock scarcer there will be widening
in the gap between the Two kinds, but there
have as yet been no assurances that such
expectations will be realized; or, at least
that there will be any material advance in
prices tor good cattle. Current prices for
fat cattle are So so to 1915 lower than at
the corresponding time last year, while cur
rent rates for grass Texas cattle are only
about 70 cents per hundredweight lower
than year ago.
1t is shown that the little nation of Dem

diana. and SOC, 900 more people, and Is also
the smallest of the Scandinavian states,
has, for the past five years, been able to
sell TO England nearly as many live ami.
mails as the entire United States, and OF all
the animals imported in the five years
named above, say 9 sos, 577, the states have
only furnished 7SS,0l7, or say a shade less
than II per cent. of the whole. In 1852
Denmark sent 10 England 50, 1856 cattle. the
states AZ Csc; sheep from Denmark, 5000;
from the states, 90, 800; total food animals
