Towx SrocK TALx.-It seems now TO
be considered the proper caper 10 trade
in calves, when cattle get too closely
held. One rancher. whose stock run
on Horse Greek, refused SI2 around for
his 50 head, and a II ader who connect
ed with st. Louis on good day got over
sixteen for his youngsters. One bunch
of a hundred from here Was on the
market Tuesday. To man up a tree,
it looks ike a calf was powerful near
equivalent 20 . yearling. A
local dealer got ont to Red Fork and
bought two cars Of cattis in the dark.
They made over q couple of hundred
profit for him. On his way in he met
a man with q carload that had cost
within q few dollars Of 400. Our dark
trader bought these for 800. They lost
him few dollars. . g Mr.. Haw-
kins, ten miles southeast of town, got
from q ChetOpa man SIS for his 2-year
old steers, and Mr.. VIM. Davis sold 50
steers 10 the same party These cattle
viii be fed corn in Kansas this winter.
This ChetOpa man bought another lot
Of stock in the same neighborhoOd that
lost him over $500 on the market
The party that bought Mr.. HalselI's
steers is understood to be 5000 ahead
between Vinits and Chicago. They
numbered 200 and went through with q
loss Of seven head. Frank Allen
is the proud owner Of G 200-acre field
Of growing corn, on the NcOsho. It is
expected to yield some 5000 bushels.
A shippe, is commencing to feed
near about 100 hogs. on Horse Greek,
west Of Tightwsd. He says he gets all
the new corn he wants for twenty cents.
delivered at the pen. Some Of
our cattle raisers have quite 9 fancy
for steer yearlings and twos over mixed
cattle in making purchases for the
range since the heavy losses Of last
winter. Cows and calves for this pur-
pose are 10 q certain extent not sought
as much as in previous years. They
don't stand the racket extra well.
A finer bunch OF two-year old grass ar
imals than one carload shipped by Mr..
skinner the other day is sels.Jm raised
in the Territory. They were straight
up, smooth, fat, mostly roans and reds,
and would run up very hard against q
thOueand pounds average. Mrs. got
them up Cabin Greek last spring.
Messrs. Hughes and Pratt are in the
Chickasaw nation with $500 head Of
sheep, driving TO Vinits- They come
from Abilene, Texas. Shipments
Halsell, S cars from Mingo; Skinner, 4
cars from Vinita and 4 from Prairie
City; Goodykoontz cars and Beatty
car from Vinita; Eaton, cars from
Claremore. The Texas pOnies
that were on this market were last
week taken away. 100 head were driven
to CoifeyvilIe and the remainder ship
ped by raj. They are held at sort of
balloon figures, and will likely lose
some time and money for their owners,
who are extra clever men and were
very well liked. Forty to fifty nice, big
American dollars outsizes a thin, little
Texas mare, among the boys on this
range for this month at least, and nei-
ther should our speculative friends in
the horse business hope to get sixty
or seventy dollars for sn unbroke mus
tang which looks somewhat large to
them because it is running with their
little stock, but which will in reality
not much outweigh eight hundred. .

only lost one animal in the entire lot.
