The following reports TO the Drovers' Jour
nal Of Chicago tends to show the situation
regarding stock in the territory adjacent to
| this markets:
One stockman from Lick, Wyoming, says {:
"Stock of all kinds (that is, horses, cattle
| the year than they do now. There is no diff
| ficulty in finding plenty of good beef on the
| range and fat mutton in every flock of sheep.
| 1t presents quite contrast to the outlook OF
and one year ago To-day you can ride out
| on the range, and horses and cattle will curl
| their tails up over their backs and make q
run much as they do in the summer time.
| One year ago in riding over the range II you
| saw any stock at all it was either carcass
or u ghost of what was once bovine. 1t
| would take "a terrible condition to withstand
| the elements. Hay is rather more plentiful
| than heretofore and brings $40 in market
| A feeder, from Washington, Ia, says; I'm
regard to fat cattle, they are nearly all gone
and have carload left; they are nice and
| smooth and will average about 400 lbs and
doing well. l think l will hold them fol
another strike. Most all of the fat hogs are
|
high. Feed seems to be rather more plenty
than people expected it would be this spring
| l fear some have fed too sparingly for the
| good of their stock. Washington county ha6
| rather good crop of almost everything last
summer except hay and potatoes, and some
| seem to have plenty Of these. Stock Of al
| kinds seems to be dong we'll considering
their chance. don't think the farmers OF
this county have much reason to complain
| except it should be on low prices on cattle
| but don't think they will complain Of thi!
| very long, Another writing from PiersOn
| Ia, remarks: "There are more cattle being
fed here than ever before. Corn is plentiful
and sells for 30@3lc per bushel. Hay is from
s.. so to s 3 per ton. Heavy hogs have mostl.
been shipped, and there is not as many ligh
| hogs as usual" A stockman from Keene
saw, Neb., writes: winter is still with us
Corn is scarce. Hay plenty; not much stool
being fed. Am feeding 800 head of sheep
| All stock appears to be healthy" Another
| from Linn Grove, Ia says of the situation il
| his part of the country: "All the good cattl
are pretty near gone in this part; there is
great number of young cattle. There are no
| many good fat hogs left, and there is diseas
in some parts here. There are but few sheel
| in this part There are a good many goo'
horses here, too. Plenty of corn at 80 cent
bushel oats, " cents per bushel, ther
is not half of it shipped yet. There is
great deal of barley this year; good sold a
SO cents per bushel. There is not muc
wheat this year. A few farmers feedin
