II T should be borne in
Il mind that the longer a
present lasts the longer
will it be a reminder of the
giver. Smoking and House
Jackets will always be stan
dard Christmas presents.
A stylish, comfortable
skeleton coat made of fine
English cashmere can be
had for 600. Japanese silk
ones, quilted, are $50.
Plain dark colored CASH
mere with corded edge and
frogs cost $50. Some mob
by London Jackets in big
plaids are here at 1000.
One of the favorite styles
this season is of black dag
onal, with quilted satin lap
els and cuffs, lined and
double stitched edge.
These cost 1900 to 1850.
Handsome Turkish coats,
embroidered and satin
lined, for 1900. Blanket
Bath Wraps are made bet
ter and fit better than those

less-6.oo to 1000.
Some one has said that
the hardest thing to find is
a proper present for a mid
die aged man, but there
ought not to be any difficult
ty of that sort this year as
a large proportion Of the
holiday goods seem to have
been designed for people
in middle life. If he is a
Sunderland he probably
is-buy him a tobacco jar
for 200; there are cheaper
ones if you want them, but
this price gets one that
he'd be proud of; he would
like a pocket match box of
silver-you can get a hand
some one for I.48, with a
choice of cheaper or high
er according to your de-
sires. A cut glass inkstand
is always a good thing to
give a man, a paper weight,
paper cutter, letter opener,
or fancy blotter.
If he travels much in
sleeping cars give him a
leather dressing case with
all the utensils-we have
them from 100 to 1880
and any price between. A
silver handled silk Um-
brella would be acceptable
of course, so would a real
alligator travelling bag,
they're both here at all
prices-but you'd better
spend at least 500 for the
Umbrella, he'll think more
of your judgment if you Sc

Beef Low and High,

Beef IN the Fort Worth market. when
offered for sale on foot by the producer,
is terribly low; but when bought over the
block by the consumer, is fearfully high.
There are little "big tours" right here
in Fort Worth as well as big ones in
other cities. A well-fattened COW
(steers are rar ly bought here by the
butchers) weighing 900 pounds, will
bring to the producer SIS. so at the rul-
ing price, one and u half cents, when
offered the Fort Worth butcher, and If
the animal is not rolling fat it frequently
sells for one cent per pound, which
would make the returns from 800
pound COW So; but when sold over the
block this animal will bring not less than
$50, and very probably $40. This may
be what butchers call legitimate profit,
but TO man up tree it looks like any
thing else. Butchers never reduce the
price of meat over the block, no matter
what they pay for beef on foot. They
have cast iron prices, and they are there
to stay,

ROUND.UPS.
The Texas Cattlemen VIII Not Do Much
Shipping this Month.
The Number OF Cattle Per Capita in the DIFF
ferent Countries-Beef on DOT and Over the
Block-Notes and Personals.

It is not expected that the general
movement of cattle from Texas during
the present month will be anything like
as large as it was during September,
1889. Last year there was genera
stampede and the race was to see who
could get to the market first. The re-
suit was a ruinous market and losses i
all who shipped. Cattlemen have prof.
tied by experience, and they do not
wish TO go through the same thing this
year they did last. 1t is known that
there must be marketed from the Indian
Territory large number of cattle of all
kinds-steere. COWS and calves. These
cattle will stock the markets for all they
can stand, and for a while it is believed
there will be more cattle on the market
during September than the market de-
mands. If this is the case prices will be
low, and as Texas cattlemen can better
afford this year to hold back their cattle
they will do SO. There may be
some who will in spite of the
conditions starlug them in the lace ship
10 market, and is safe to assume that
they will be sorry they did so when their
returns come IN. Those who hold back
their beeves until the rush is over will in
the long run reap the benefits of a good
market which is sure to come in the
spring and perhaps in December.

to be of value for breeding, when they
are driven to the saledros or slaughter
