Texas should Demand Protection.

FoRr McKAv1TT, Tex, Jan. 81, 1889.
To the Gazette.
L take pleasure in sending you copy of
the schedule formulated by the recent
convention of the "National wool
growers at Washington, D. C.
The changes made in the bill now be-
fore the senate committee are marked,
and you will observe they are very few,
and none at all that are in any way
radical. We have not asked any adj
vance in the tariff, and while l cannot
venture to say what the effect of our
efforts will be, l am constrained TO think
the committee will see the prOpriety of SO
amending the present bill as will prevent
any possible misconstruction of term, or
evasion of duties in the future.
After the adjournment of our conYen-
ton 1 took the liberty of calling the at
tention of some of the senators, it was my
pleasure to meet, to the fact that
hides were still on the ''free list -
and the universal reply 1 received
was the cattle producers had never
made any protest or demand
for protection. They assured me it
would afford them pleasure to aid the
cattle industry in correcting the evil, if
such existed, and my purpose in referring
to the matter IS that you may call the
attention of cattlemen to the enormous
loss we are suffering by permitting for
eign nations to send their surplus hides
to our already overstocked market. We
produce more hides now than it is posi-
BILE to consume (of the coarser grades,
and it naturally follows there is no sense
in allowing other nations to dump their
Oversupply on our market and make the
whole nearly valueless.
I viii not attempt to dis cuss the merit
of free trade or protection, but will sim
ply remark, if congress maintains pro-
tective policy in all Eastern industries 1t
seems to me that Texas should demand just
and adequate protection on all the pro-
ducts of her soil that come into COMPETE
ton with foreign productions. Yours,
WIN. L. BLACK

Horses in shaekelford County.

special TO the Gazette.
ALBANY, TEX. Jan. 25.-Messrs. Hays
s. Duncan, well known breeders and
raisers of fine horses, of this county,
shipped on yesterday to their Long
Island farm one car of fine saddle and
polo ponies. These ponies havelall been
trained on their ranch near here. This
is one of the most paying industries of
our county and Messrs. Hays & Duncan
have built up great reputation in New
York city for their ponies, they
always finding ready sale and
fancy prices. Mr. I. NJ. Chism sold one
yesterday to Tom Gober of Stephens
county, Volapuk, fine three-year-old
stallion, sired by Harrison Chief, Jr.
Volapuk is pronounced by competent
judges one of the best young horses in
the county, and while terms are private
it is very well understood that he brought
fancy price. Shackelford county has
acquired an enviable reputation as the
home of fine horses.

STATE OF TRADE.
A General Weakening Which There is
No Use Blinking At.
Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review-Complaint Of Dull
ness, but Evidence of a Large Volume of
Observation-Disclosures in Prices.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-R. G.. Dun s.
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
The state of trade is unusually per-
picking, for with general complaint of
dullness there are evidences that the vol
ume of transactions is large. Payments
through banks last week were % per
cent. larger than for the corresponding
week last year at New York, and 16 per
cent. at all other cities. Railroad earn
ings also show that traffic is larger. The
demand for money is sufficiently active
at nearly all interior points, moreover,
to indicate that large business is IN pro-
gress. Yet it is undeniable that the pre-
vailing temper is one of disappointment
at the result of business since the new
year begun, and this is not wholly ex-
planned by the steadily declining prices of
products. At Southern points, after
some depression, trade
APPEARS TO BE IMPROVING.
In the Northwest trade is fully equal to
that Of last year, and at some points
clearly larger. The supply of money
seems to be everywhere ample for the Ie-
ultimate demand. There are no indica-
lions of general QnsOundness or over
straining of commercial credit. In the
great Industries the consumption for all
other than railroad purposes appears to
be larger than ever, but there is serious
disturbance. The Iron Age reports Ga
general weakening which there is no use
in blinking at, - and holds that the furn-
aces which cannot face without serious
loss a decline of fully 81 from present
prices may wisely
SUSPEND PRODUCTION.
At Western points Southern iron is of
fering at prices equivalent to Sl2 at Biz
mingham, which is considered as equal
to ST. for Pennsylvania iron, and large
sales are reported at prices below the
quotations a decline in the price of
coke is considered probable, and the an
thracite coal market continues weak. The
decline in wheat continues, prices having
fallen 21S cents this week, as prices
reaches this week 9315 to 9358 cents.
There has been some buying for export
though not as yet for Great Britain Corn
has fallen cent, and oats are lower.
Pork products have also declined, mess
about 90 cents per barrel, lard 20 cents
and hogs 10 cents per 100 pounds. Cotton
is shade lower with sales of II 100 bales.
and coffee q of a cent higher with sales
of 233 900 bags. The market for coffee
has been dull, and tin is lower at 2I15
cents.
LEAD IS ALSO WEAK
at S3S. There is little activity in groceries,
but the sugar market favors the holder
The general average of prices has fallen
$40 of per cent. for the week. The
supply of money increases both by
remlttances from the interior and
by excess of tIeasury disbursements
over receipts, when reached 81 200 600
for the week. Exports of merchandise
from New York show a gain of IL per
cent. for three weeks. The stock market
is nevertheless so firmly maintained that
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-01-26

the average decline in prices has been
only per $40 for the week.
Business failures number $40, against
total of $50 last week and ISL the week
previous. For the corresponding week of
last year the figures were 269.

Montana and Northern buyers have
camped on the range in New Mexico in
speeding the herds there and making con-
tracts for early summer delivery. Prices
offered are said to be good. There was
closed contract this week in Las Vegas
whereby William E. Hawks, president
of the Soda Springs land and cattle COM
pany of Soda Springs, Idaho, and the
Plymouth Rock cattle company of Red
Rock, Montana, became the owners of all
the steers owned by the Il Captain cattle
company and the Lea cattle company of
Lincoln county, from two-year-old and
upwards, amounting to between 5000 and
5000 head. They are to be delivered at
the railway by the middle of May. The
prices paid are not stated, but are said to
have been better than any steers have
sold for on the range in the past two
years.

A special correspondent writing from
Chicago under date of January 10 says:
The cattle market is demoralized. Words
can scarcely convey to the country shipper
an idea of how sick trade really is. Prices
have gone down, down until there is no
basis on which to make comparisons. 1t
would seem that a panic or n desire to
give away their property must have seized
shippers this week, and after the big run
on a declining market there has been an
increase this week of something
like II 900 head. Throughout
every night and forenoon
cattle have come trooping along on
every train, filling the yards to their full
est capacity Indeed, many consign-
ments were housed in hog-pens and not
exhibited to any one on the day they ar
rived. Statesmen experienced the great
est difficulty in getting any one to look at
stock, and as matter of course values
fell steadily from day to day Sales are
now being made at a lower range than
ever before recorded, and as trader re-
marked, the deal is s'rot-
ten. " The decline on the
ordinary run of fair to good steers
amounts to 50@60c and undesirable stock
has fallen even more. Even at that
ABOUT 2COU head had to be carried over
each night. Prime cattle are very scarce
and but very few are wanted. The stock
that sells quickest is such as can be had
at S. rs to ST 90. Very few prime beeves
go above 81 90, the great bulk of the
good and useful animals ranging between
So .25@3.75 and many fair lots at 81 So
TO $50. Neither dressed beef operators
nor shippers are anxious to load
up even at these figures and hold back
with ridiculous bids. Eastern markets
are dull at lower prices and cables quote
an overloaded and declining market.
Wednesday IS supply here-about 90 900
head-was, with possibly one exception,
the largest ever seen in the yards at one
time. Tha.eoarse, heavy and the thin
lots suffer most; just how much could be
obtained for bunch of really fancy
beeves, can only be conjectured, as
none of that kind are offered. 1t is safe
to say they would not show the drop
which medium sorts have suffered. For
the coming weelsthe outlook is very I'M
certain. Thousands of dollars have been
lost By the country on the break,
and hundreds of kilograms have been

A straw showing which way the wind
blows was under notice when the Box.
V, or Prowers estate cattle company,
sold to Mr.. J X. Thompson of Kansas
City all of their yearIing calves in Col
orado on January 81. This Is so unusual
a thing for cattle company to do that it
caused comment, and the natural con-
clusiOn that another of the i'm
mense punches of stock will be
removed from Southeastern Colorado,
either, as in this case, for the slaughter
house, or, as in the case of the Hon.
Frank Collinson, who is now in Old
Mexico looking for a range for his big
herd far from any civilization, and
where settlers are not likely to drive him
out. The rapid settlement of the coun-
try is surely killing the larger cattle
interests in that section, yet as re-
CARDS wealth it goes on increasing, as
in the proposed new Wolcott county, the
assessment of May, 1880, gave value of
81 1868, 537. Since then over 1000 claims
have been proved up, adding an increase
of about $500 900, and 100 miles of irri-
eating canals have added considerable
more. This is one of the reasons why
cattle are being sold out. 1t is said that
Mr.. Thompson, through his agent, Mr..
Lyons, is negotiating for another bunch.
If it is completed the total of both sales
viii amount to an even 500 900.

COIman's Rural World: Few men
who have given the beef question SER
ious consideration, that is to say the
killing of beeves in one vast market and
distributing the meat all over the coun-
try by means of refrigerator cars and all
over the world as canned meats, but
have concluded that it was a mammoth
monopoly, leading to ruin both
the breeders of fine stock
and the feeders of butcher stock.
If any man doubts this let him
visit and talk with both classes of men at
their own homes. We have seen short
horn cattle sold for breeding purposes in
the state of Missouri within six months
past for less than twenty-f1v dollars
head. He have seen hundreds sold
within the past two years for less than
they would bring for beef and are quite
sure that so long as this state of
things continues breeders are being
run to ruin. During the same time
hundreds of thousands of beeves have
been sold in Chicago and other stock
yards at less than 2 cents a pound live
weight, and such is the condition of the
market that they continue to be sold at
those prices. This fact stares the
farmers in the face to-day, and
to speak plainly they are big
ger fools than we think them
if they do not look into the cause and if
possible remove it. Many of the state
legislatures are now, or soon will be in
session and ought to be able to enact laws
by which the interests of their own farm
ers might be protected and the health of
their own constituents safely guarded.

Shipments of stock from Arizona are
