A sheep pasture in Dimmiit and Webb
counties, Texas, cotnp.ises 800, 900 acres, and
leeds 10000 sheep. Il Is believed to be the
largest in the world.
The Indian territory is expected TO be
the great cattle mart this season. IL is esti-
mated that not less than 10000 head will
be congregated in the Cherokee nation
alone, whence they will be- distributed TO
various northern and eastern markets.
The English butchers do not like very
large cattle or sheep; they prefer cattle
weighing from 1900 TO l,G00 pounds, and
sheep about $50 pounds live weight
WetherS bring from one to two pence a

1t is announced that "a monster cattle
company has been organized in New York

ganization is TO be known as the United

been secured, amounting to 100000 acres

The department OF agriculture will short

the principal horse and mule markets are

BOOTS AND SHOES.

A BosroS dispatch says the movement in
boots and shoes has been steady this week
the spring trade, now almost entirely closed,
will be recorded as one Of the largest in the
history of Boston, and the outlook tor fall
is in no way less favorable up TO the pres
ent time.
Chicago is manufacturing n good share OF
the ooot.covering shipped from here, and
this branch of our industry 10 a rapidly.
growing one, but Boston Ia the center of the
boot aud shoe interest of the country. BY
the latest census the total number Of shoe
facteres in Massachusetts, was. 1852, and
the value of the product for that year SlO5,-
lis 800 The total number Of cotton facto.
ries In Massachusetts, was 100, and the value
OF the product was SOS, 5G6, lS2. That is to
say, less than two hundred cotton factories
produced goods to the value of q little over
half the value of boots and shoes produced,
in which industry over fifteen hundred
concerns are engaged.
The Boston Advertiser says: "Once
Boston was the centre OF the dry.goods
trade; branch houses were in New York and
the west, Now the reverse Is true the main
houses are in New York and the west, and
the branches are In Boston. Boston's gro.
Gerry trade is now comparatively provincial;
Its grain trade Is stupid. For these trades
II Is no longer the centre. But for boots
and shoes and largely for leather, the nation
turns to Boston and Is filled-htted, rather,
better and cheaper than was ever any other
nation In the history Of the world"
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1883-05-02
DRY GOODS.


Specials from Boston says the wholesale
trade is quiet. Jobbers are doing u mod
crate business, especially with the west,
Some outside makes of bleached shirtings
and low-rrade prints show weakness in
value but other cotton goods are firm,
Heavy makes of brown sheetugs are lar ely
sold ahead for export. For desirable styles
OF light prints there Is more call, tiud the
liner summer fabrics generally are doing
better. Print cloths continue TO be taken
about as fast as produced, and prices are
steady. Seasonable dress goods are moving
little more freely but there is no general
animation. On wooden fabrics for mems
wear, movements are confined to small lots
and deli veries on old orders.
From New York:-General demand in
different, the chief attention being given 10
bleached cottons, with an upward tendency
in price; cotton, which appears warranted
by the statistical condition, causing more
general interest than was manifested at the
ruling and low cost tor goods.
From Provdence;-The print-Cloth mar
ket is steady and firm, the sales being mod

PROVISIONS,


Under the head of "Pork- Packing and
Provision Topics" the Cincinnati Price
Current OF Thursday states that the hog
movement in the west, as compared with
1882, continues to show u considerable de.
crease. The packing at all points for the
past week reached $4,000 hogs. against 1885,
700 head ayear ago. The total pa king
since March is 525,0O0 hogs, against us.
OOO year ago, and 6S5,0o0 in 1880, a de.
crease this season OF 10000 compared with
lSs., and 10000 compared with 1881. In
1851 the summer packing to November |
was ,502 600 more than for 1889. In regard
to the future Of the present season, SAYS
our authority, there is n diversity of opin.
ion among. men recognized as good au Z.
thority on these matters-men In the trade
who have been receivers OF hogs and close
observers for many years. There are those
who assert that there can be no increase In
:he summer marketing, and others that the
increase after the LIST of June will be con-
slderable-perhaps there are ct present
more holding the former conviction than
the latter.

GEORGE j HEATING,
Kansas City, special Partner.

Illinois writer says "You may look for
the largest acreage of oats to be put in this
season that has been sown for many years.
This arises from two facts-the one scar
city OF corn in BNinois and Iowa, and the
other the use OF she self-grain binder re-
lieving the farmer of all difficulty in pro
curing labor at harvest. In fact, the
grower OF small grain now is in an indie.
pendent position, so far as the securing OF
tho harvest is concerned"
A correspondent of the Marysville Cali
forniG) Appeal, writing from Gridley,
Butte county, says the crops between these
places are very promising. Wheat that two
weeks ago stood six inches mas now at
tanned height of eighteen inches, ano in
some fields II has begun to head. Farmers
all feel happy, and say II there should be
no more north winds that the crops will be
large. Equally encouraging news comes
from the central and southern counties. The
hay crop will also be up to the usual stan
dard. IL is expected, and the old crop has
been rapidly falling in price for the past
two weeks, Should there be no severe
irosts this month, the fruit yield will be
the heaviest yet known in California.
The amount of wheat In store ut Duluth
on Monday was ,4i0 592 bu.
In their circular of the Goth instant,
Messrs G. A, King & Co.. of Toledo, state
that since the opening OF the month their
reports from the winter wheat belt show a
marked Improvement in the crop, though
most of them are less favorable than Il
year ago, and many materially so. The
slight increase in acreage sown has been
absorbed by the amount recently plowed
up. The department of agriculture's re-
port OF April lst, was less favorable than
for the crop OF 1881, which was only $780,
0OO,0 600 bu. with favorable crop on the
Pacific slope and of spring wheat, except
in Iowa and Wisconsin. There may be n
possibility OF an average crop OF winter
wheat this year, but it will require the
most favorable conditions henceiorth.
Spring wheat crop can be determined bet
ter after all the acreage is sown." Winter
wheat constitutes about two-thirds of the
wheat crop of tho United States. which
raises in an average season almost one
quarter of the worlds wheat crop.
