were over 200 900 bales, and in December oysr
$4,000 bales. Tie aggregate for tho year Wa
1900 149 bales, and considering that the exports
from New-York were about GA, 900 bales, and thu
Northern consumption about 100000 bales, dur.
ing the crop year 1870J71, those sales doubtless
represent in the main honest transactions In actual
cotton. The next year the so-called sales In New.
York were more than three times az large
in 1879 they exceeded $500, 900 bales though the
crop of 1871 was less than 600 900 bales; and In
1875 they mounted to 1913, $50 bales, mere than
double the crop of 1874. The next year there was
decrease in speculation; though the crop was
larger, the so-caledsaes were only $685. 75o bales
But in 1877 they suddenly mounted to Is, 54s, 200
bales, and In 1879 to 81, 521, 800 more than six
times the largest quantity then ever raised in any
year. From that point there has been gradual
decline, and last year the "sales" were only
24,360,S00 bales, or about four times the entire
CROP This year the sales " in four months have
been only 6,28l. 800 bales, against s401, 200 for
the corresponding months last year. and at the same
rate the aggregate for the year woald fall to about
100000 bales. But that would be three times
the entire crop.

1t will be seen that an increase appears of nearly
% per cent in sheep and over 20 per cent in
"otherp cattle with about 10 per cent in each of
the other kinds except hogs, but in the number OF
hogs the apparent decrease has been over . per
cent The Railroad Gazette comments upon these
figures that the census of ranch cattle and sheep
was very incomplete. But the Bureau returns also
show n marked increase in the number of sheep and
other cattle while the decrease in number OF hogs
from 1880 to 1882 was doubtless large.
OIL PRODUCTION. The April return. which is
thought especially interesting, because it shows an
increase of yield with a remarkably low price,
comes Just in time TO be compared with the official
abatement of the production from the Russian oil
region. II appears that the increase IN the guam
tity shipped from Baku TO all other points IN ana
ont of Russia was over 80 per cent from 1888 TO
1884 namely. from 20 OOO, 900 pools TO 53.6s4.49
poods Reckoning the pood at about five gallons,
the quantity shipped in 1884 was about 26S 00O,-
900 gallons. But this includes residue, 2S,539S49
poods as well as naphtha ubricating OIL benzine
and asphaltum, leaving only 81, Oh pools, or
about 100000, 900 gallons, of refined petroleum.
Nearly all the refined was consumed in Russia ana
IL il said that not more than 10000 barrels went
into consumption in other parts OK Europe iase
vear but the rapid increase shows thai there VIII
soon be largo surplus for sale, and that the pre-
vailinr low price does not check production there
any more than 1t does In the oil region OF renhsy

The number of steers would be the

crease, 2S5G.
From this deduct an annual loss of 3
per cent. of the number of cattle on hand,
and make another deduction for the rea-
son that cows will only average eight
calves in ten years; take your original
price of one hundred cows, deduct for
the keeping of the same 81 80 per head
per anum, and you viii find an enor-
nous increase and an immense sum rep
resenting the value of cattle on hand, and
will learn at what rate the capital in the
live stock business increases.
INSTANCES FOR PROFIT REALIZED.
Just as the cattlemen of the West are
in business, upright, honest and accom-
modating, so they are in private life
courteous and estimable, and to these
traits am indebted for the information
concerning instances of success which
will now mention
Mr.. i. p. Ernest is the cattle king of
Colorado, owning the largest herd in the
state. This gentleman, Il Texan born,
came TO New Mexico in 1871 with $500
and engaged In the business. He had ac-
cumulated by 1875 herd of $500 head,
which he removed the same year TO Colo
RADIO. He bought near Deer Trail, on
one of the tributaries TO the Platte river,
enough water front 10 control a range
large enough for his future business, and
this location enables him to control
100000 acres of pasture. His
herd has grown, by natural increase and
by fortunate purchases, which his fore
sight and judgment enabled him TO make
from time to time, TO $4,000. Last
year he sold about 100000 worth OF
beef, He has been offered for his herd,
with range and privileges, ss50,000, but
he declined the offer.
One of the first men 20 engage in cattle
raising was h. G. Webster OF Denver. He
has not only been very successful but has
also become prominent among the cattle
men by his devotion TO and furthcrance Of
all the interests of the cattle business in
the West lie began in 1872 In Colorado
with thirty-Gve head and $500 In cash.
Beina unacquainted with the business
when he began, he devoted all bis time
and energy 10 IL and made himself con-
yersant with all Its details and managed
il with such skill, both in buying and
selling, that he was enabled one year ago
TO sell his interest for SlS5,000.
MIR. Geerge A Binkelman OF Denver
began business in 1868 on the kiowa' east
OF Denver, with 100 head OF all ages ana
both sexes. He thinks that from the hrst
his natural increase was 80 per cent an
nually, none OF which he has lost, De-
cause he was careful to keep his hero 70,
gether. In The fall Of 1873 he removed
his herd to the Republican river, iaIther
north. IL had increased TO 1900 head,
During the first year OF ms arflNai
