Montana is said to have Coz, COO sheen.

Montana is said to have eO0,O 600 sheep.
About 100 Normandy horses nave Just ar
rived IN New York. Their selling price in
this country is from 81 300 to 81 500 each.
An exchange says il is difficult to tell
whether Illinois or Kentucky is the centre
OF the shorthorn breeding interests in this
country.
Arizona has 5000, 600 acres of good pas
ture land, on which, it is estimated, there
are 1000 GOO sheep and 10000 head of cat
tie grazing. New Mexico has 10000 600
sheep, and the wool clip of that territory for
1852 Is reported at SO,0O0,O0O pounds. which
was shipped TO eastern markets during the
year. IL looks as if New Mexico would be a
good place for few w0olen-mills. The in
yestment would be a good one, and OF great
commercial value to the territory.
The Denver Journal of Commerce SAYS
The price OF stock cattle is 10 per cent
higher in Colorado this year than 1t was
last year, and 30 per cent. higher than
three years ago. Eight years ago COW and
calf were held 10 be worth from SIP to SIS,
To-day they would sell quickly at $40
Twelve years ago yearling calf was worth
but IS in this market. There is different
state of things just now. Mr. Lon Horn, of
Trinidad, lately purchased large blnch of
animals OF this age on the Arkansas river,
paving SH head for the same"
There Is evidently large margin for
profit on pure bred Galloways, according to
the Irish Farmers Gazette, which says at
will have been observed that at several re-
cent sales in America lots of Galloways
have been sold at an average OF close on
tlOO each. While this is the case on the
other side OF the Atlantic, prices keep low
In Scotland. The herd of Mr.. Carruthers,
at Cleughheads, near LOckerbie, was sold

The Omaha Bee has this to saw of
Wyoming cattle interests; Statistics COM
piled by well-in;ormed stockmen estimate
the number at 100000 head. During the
shipping season of last year. from July to
November l, there were, as reported to the
Wyoming Stock Growers association, by
its secretary, at its annual meeting last
month, 2l7, 1872 head sent east to the mar
kets, an increase over the shipment of 1881
| of $1,000 head. The great cattle drives
| from the Pacific slope have ceased, and the
drive from Texas has greatly diminished
| Wyoming, under the range system of
| grazing cattle, is now almost fully stocked,
and the number raised by breeding is not
| largely in excess of the number shipped
last year, 1t is doubtful whether the ship
ments to the eastern stock-yards during the
coming season will be larger than those of
last year. Prices of cattle were, during the
shipping season of 1882, fully % per cent.
higher than those of 1881. Stock. raisers
| took advantage of high prices to sell as
much of their stock as was marketable, and,
consequently, there will be this year no de-
crease in the prices of Wyoming cattle
founded on an over.supply Of stock in the
territory. In round numbers the statistics
OF WyOming's cattle business for 1883 may
be put thus: Stock, 100000 head of cattle,
worth $4,000, 900; shipments, 200, 600 head
worth SO 0O0,000 to $4,000 600. While a
little more than one.fourth of the number
of cattle will be shipped to market. that
number will represent one-third the weight
of beef in Wyoming, and, of course, one
third the value of all the cattle.
