MIR. George ". Strattou, superinten-
dent of the san Simon cattle company,
whose cattle possessions are principally
III Arizona, states that his company has
shipped about seven thousand head OF
cattle, nearly all steers, out of the ter
TitorY during the past two months. OF
this number about four thousand head
went to Montana, the balance TO Kansas
and the Indian Nation. While the cattle
were being shipped, they had gathered
together at one time and in one herd
5000 steers, which, we venture to assert,
was the largest steer herd ever rounded
up in the territory by one firm or com
pauy. Grass in the San Simon was never
better at this season of the year, and
stock is in good condition.

It is not calculated TO

It is not calculated to arouse much en-
thusiasm in the cattle trade to reflect
tilat cattle are lower in July, 1889, than
1fhey were in July, 1888; but they are
lower nevertheless. The depression has
been somewhat intensified IN the last two
or three weeks, under circumstances
which afford little if any encouragement
for expecting high prices at an early day.
There may be several different reasons
for cattle being low, but one of them GER
tainly is that there are plenty of cattle.
Somehow all philosophiziug as to cattle
becoming more scarce ends up from sea-
son to season III more cattle being for
sale than ever before. This is a fact,
ana in the face of it the current July rs
affording nothing especially cheering to
the cattle-groWer.

The feeding states and the southwest
evn range are flooding Chicago with cat
tie, dIspelling all hopes Of an improve
ment il prices based on a scarcity of
cattle. Two classes of prophets have been
practicing on the beef market. One of
them, and by far the more numerous
one, says the supply must be exhausted
before the prices can go up. The other
says that prices will 90 up as soon as the
inferior stuff with which the country is
alive is worked off. Good cattle viii
then fetch good prices, not because of a
scarcity of cattle, but because the quality
is better. From the present outlook
there is no hope of eXhausting the sup
ply, for the woods appear to be full Of
cattle. There Is, however, considerable
Improvement observable in the quality
of cattle now going on the market over
those that have gone for the past several
years. As soon rs the feed districts are
exhausted the cattle on the Northwest
ern range will be fat enough to put on
the market, and the runs will thus be
kept up all summer.

Stock papers throughout the country
are continually asserting that better
feeling regarding the future of the cat

time say that market reports are not
very encouraging. On what, then, is

Sullivan and Egan and which met them at the
depot and entertained them during the even
ing.
The statement is absolutely false" Mr..
Donnelly said "Messrs. sullivan and Egan
arrived here promptly at O'Clock. and We
conducted them from the depot directly to the
academy. The committee was composed OF
well-known citizens Of Milwaukee. / sat on
the platform all during the evening conversiug

man named Beach was with them. Not sin
gle allusion was made TO anything of revolu-
