something about The eject OF the late J
storm on cattle III West Texas. Both |

driven great deal and are greatly drawn
and the grass has been so damaged that

some loss before the end Of tie
winter, notwithstanding The favorable
wes tier OF tie first part OF the year. TIE
stock dfifted & great deal, particulscle
north OF the Texas and Pacific, and wi
not be rounded up again very easily.
Shipments Cf range cattle for the season
axe ever now, for 1t would be very diff
cult to get held OF a train load
Of marketable cattle throughout all
West Texas. There sre some cattle in
pens along the Texis and Pacific, and OF
these some will be sent on up TO the mar
Ike s, bat most will be returned to the
raCga. Few stOckmen hsve much grass
for Them to feed en-; If they had good
rang they VIC uld not be putting them on
the market. As yet, however. there has
been bat very little loss.
