y
From January l to October /, this
year, there were shipped from Alice
on Arkansas Pass railroad, this county,
1,S47 cars of stock, from Corpus
Christi 1913 cars, from Gregory Is, from
Sinton 254, from Skidmore Is and
from Beeville 376.
A good many sheep died during the
cool spell. The people should shear
sooner and not take such a risk in
waiting so late. Wool is selling slow
have not seen any wool buyers around
except VIM. Hebron. There is a
fine chance for buyers in this vicinity
l don't suppose all the WOOL went
with the sheep.

The butcher market at Fort Worth
runs smoothly on 14c cows, and there
is enough in sight to keep the market
supplied.
The stock of wool in San Antonio
will aggregate about 100000 pounds
and no sales.
Owing to the unusually cold and
copious rainfall, shearing has been
greatly interfered with, and many
will probably not shear who had in
tended to.
o. T. Grason, of Rockwell county,
sold in Dallas twenty-nine steers for
feeding purposes at $14 per head
They were 3-year-olds.
Albert Fredericks claims to have
the largest Texas steer horns in the
country, which are 7 feet and s inches

plush and gold.
r. A. Riddles, of Alvarado, was il
San Antonio, and says that his cattl,
sold uniformly 1c per pound less thar
last year, although the weights were
heavier. He does not know q CATTLE
feeder or shipper who has not lost
some money this season. Mr.. Rid
dies sold about 300 big feeders to Mr.
Wick, of Memphis, at $lS per head.
Many wonder at the obstinacy o
southwestern rancheros in holding
back their beeves so long from market
If there is any quality that they pos
sess stronger than anybody is "hold
on-longevitiness."

from the Messrs. Stevens, of George
town, their stock on the Mexican
range to the number of 5000 head

$4,000. Mr.. John Blocker, of Sal
Antonio, also has purchased tn
stock of Mr.. Vaughan on the sam
range. This stock is estimated a
5000 head and sold for $4,000
These trades will probably be goo,
ones for the purchasers, since the cal
tie tax levied by President Diaz vii
probably force meat on the Mexic
City market to famine prices for
time.
