The Texas land and cattle company Is
running large numbers Of cows to mar
ket. They are not first-class by any
means, and this fact is taken as proof
by many that there is no good stock in
that section, or owned by said rich com
pany The San Antonio correspondent
of the Stock Journal SAYS, however, that
the facts are quite the contrary, and the
management of that corporation proves
its practicability by getting rid of its
scrubs, and if marketing them leaves
net over cost Of transportation and hide,
it is good economy, as it leaves valuable
grass for the improved breeds that are
being put on their Laureles ranch.

Through the courtesy OF Mr.. Henry
Warren, vice-president of the Aztec land
and cattle company, we are in receipt of
printed report of the condition OF that
corporation at the close of the year 1888
The superintendent of the company, Mr..
+. j Simpson, furnishes some interest
ing statistics. He shows that the number
of cattle on the company range in Ari-
IONA at the close of the year was 81 ,725,
as against 81 ,64S at the close of 1887.
There were driven from the Pecos ranch
2246 head during the year,
which practically closes the COM
pany's range operations in Texas.
The total sales for the year were 1851
head, aggregating value of So 1928 90;
number of calves branded G449, besides
377 left in the herd as bulls. The ex-
penditures for the Arizona ranch were
S26 ,72G 10; for the Pecos ranch S2G43 .07.
Mr.. Simpson states that the number of
calves branded fell below a full proper
ton, but attributes the shortage TO an
insufficient number of bulls on the range
The losses for the year have been nomi-
nal, Mr.. Simpson believing . per cent.
to be an ample estimate II Hoof and

W. F. Sommerville said yesterday that
the scheme mentioned some time ago in
THE GAZETTE of exporting cattle direct
from the range TO the English markets
had not been abandoned by those inter-
ested, but only laid in allegiance while the
nature ana advantage of this business
were made plain to the cattlemen. To
this end he referred to market quotations
on live stock on hoof at Liverpool,
wherefrom it can be seen that there is
large margin between prices in
domestic and foreign markets, making
allowance even for transportation across
the water. Following reports are given
for the week ending January %:
Liverpool Monday-The supply of
stock was much less than last week A
fair demand for cattle without alteration
in prices. Sheep much dearer. Beef:
First class, I'D; second class, GID:
third class, 519d; best state beef, 655d
