THE RUSH OF LIVESTOCK.

Western Roads Unable TO Supply the De-
mand for Cars.
The Denver Republican, in speaking OF
the inability of railroads to supply cars
enough for their business, says;
"The great movement Of livestock
Eastward has been the cause of much
perpleXity TO Colorado lines, and espec-
tally the Union Pacific and Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe. These roads are
by no meaus able to satisfy ali the de-
MINDS of livestock men on account of
the lack Of cars and motive power. II is
stated authoritatively that the Sauta Fe
Is to-day In need of 1000 cars 10 accom-
MEDIATE their increased patronage. One
year ago the Santa Fee was leasing 10
other companies their engines aud rolling
stock. To-day they cannot secure
enough for their own purposes.
II was reported in DENY freight cir
Giles yesterday that at present there are
5000 sheep in Pueblo awaiting for freight
cars. These will go via the Union Pacific
TO Omaha, and livestock Agent Leury
OF that road bns gone East to secure
transportation for the animals. During
the last two weeks fully 80 900 sheep. to
say nothing OF beef cattle aud hogs. have
pissed over Colorado lines from Colorado
runcnes and farms en- route to Eastern
markets. Since the fall movement has
begun the Union Pacific has almost aver
aged one train load of beef cattle week
Such record Is unprecedented in the
history OF the Centennial state, and even
SURPRISES all expectations. The great
question with the companies now seems
to be, sn pressing is the patronage, not
what road will secure the freight, but
can ths stock ruisers be accommodated?
The Union Pncitic is short of cars several
thousands dav-ali owing TO Increased
growth In the state = produrtiveuess.

merchant in Fort Worth has handed
us the following circular. The American
ass has been bearing the Republican
budthen for quarter of century, aud
as long rs be consents TO do so will find
no sympathy from Carnegie and Quay
The Republicans have added more weight

devotion OF the American ass:
TO THE TRADE.
The tariff act, which goes into effect on Octo-
Der G. 1880, suddt My advances The duty on
musical instruments. paris thereof. and strings
from A. to 10 per cent. above old rates.
This, combined with steady rise in the En-
ropean cost Of GOODS for some time back, Gbso-
lutely CompelS all importers 10 advance their
prices.
Various american made goods are also
affected, because of higher duties on imported
material, parts, etc, used in their construc-
ton.
At large meeting OF the wholesale houses OF
New YORK, Boston. Chicago, Cincinnati. St.
Paul, etc., the Gu .siion as to how and when to
advance prices was fully discussed, and it was
unanimously decided to maze The necessary adj
vance at once, and TO all dealers without eXcep-
ton.
Any other plan would demoralize the trade. a
state of unsettled market prices would be worse
;han decided and stable advance.
We. there ore, notify you that all orders
veived by us alter October will be filed at
prices In accordance with the new tariff. Ex-
ceptions cannot be made.
Dealers will do well to mark up their goods
