The Situation.

There are to-day and have been for years wide differences of opin- ion as to the cause of.the great de- pression in cattle values that has of late years prevailed and views equally diverse as to the time when 8 change for the better would take place. Journal readers know that we have spoken our mind freely and fully and they can all recall the arguments from time to time employed to prove that the end Of over-production was approaching. So it is not now necessary 10 re- peat them.
 At this writing the masses engaged in the growing of cattle feel hopeful and realize that pres ent conditions are better. There are many, however, who cling to the idea that this relief is only temporary-that in a short time the great packers will be able to cut prices to the late low figures and control the market. To these we desire to speak.
 Cattle values shrank in 1887 for the reason that there were more an- imals put on the market than the demand called for. In 1888 the same conditions were present 1889 showed, throughout the year, an increased marketing of about 20 per cent with an increase ot popu- lation of but ? per cent. Of course prices ruled low. There was too much on the market.
 These greatruns that kept values below the cost of production had the effect of burning the candle at both ends, so to speak. The beef steers not only went, but the calves were sold by the hundred thousand and the COWS by the million. Not less than three million COWS a year have been slaughtered since and in cluding 1887. Hence, to-day. we dis cover that an advance of a dollar a hundred on fair beefcattle in the mar ket centers fails to increase the runs, while an advance of ten cents any day during the time betweenMay 1SS7andNovember1S 800, would cause almost stampede in all the mar kets, Why this difference in con- dition?
 Up the close of 1889 the whole earth seemed to be and really was, full of cattle. The slightest ad- vance turned them loose because the owners wanted to sell. Early in 1890 it was discovered that the Was gone and there was every promise of return to compen- sating values. An upward turn took place in feeder values, first, for the reason that the stock on feed was sufficient to last only until July and after the grass cattle were gone plices would have to advance.

few days. Besides the natives, there were about 600 New Mexico steers on sale. Trade was on the quiet order, though the demand was bet ter than yesterday. Prices were unevenly quoted, compared with yesterday, but all traders agreed that prices were much lower than one week ago. One speculator re- ported buying as low as Saturday, while another reported 15c rise.
 Sales of April 2S compared, be- ginning with 1880, show cattle to have been sold at the highest point April 2S, 'S2, at $6.6O, and the low est top sales same date '89 at the extremely low figure of $3.75. On the same date, 1880, $4.20 was paid for tops, which was next to the low point. A similar comparison of hog prices shows the highest sale to have been made April 28, 1883, at $7.30 and the next highest same date, 'S2, at $7.15, and tie for low top years of 'S6 and go at $410.
 The best price paid for cattle in April, 1890, was one load at $5.05. Four loads sold at $5, and with these exceptions no sales were made above $490; in the same month $4.20 was paid two days for top, while the bulk sold at high notch of the month on the 14th at $4.- 124@4174. To date this month the top for cattle is $1 10 higher than that of corresponding month of 1890-$6, ,15; and the top for hogs 95c higher at $5.15 with highest at $4.S5@5.OO, or 72!@S24c higher than April, 1890.

Kansas City Notes.
Good western feeding steers, if here, would bring good prices.


 here, would bring good prices.
 A 2,600 ID steer made sort of sideshow in Kansas City this week. No one seemed to know when a larger animal had been seen there.
 Export steers and light weight dressed beef steers, in the language of the market reporter, "have been selling closer together than ever before"
 The Telegram continues to re- ceive many letters relative to the condition of crops. We have yet to find the first man who thinks they will not be better than for many years.
 Over 600 New Mexico cattle, mostly steers and all thin, arrived Saturday, too late to sell, and there was some common thin stuff among the fresh arrivals. None were sold but some of the commonest can not be sold. Nothing has been here recently to compare prices with.
 In view of the light receipts of sheep it appears that all the talk of everybody going into sheep raising was but the creation of some ooun- try farm journal. Lambs are bring ing in eastern markets from $7 to $S and the supply at Kansas City is really below the demand.
 The Drovers' Telegram of April ?, says; Including the New Mexi- co stuff that arrived Saturday after noon, and the stale and fresh na- tives, there were about a thousand head on sale. The feeling was stronger than Saturday, but a good deal lower than a week ago. Some rated the decline only 25c to 30c but others quoted 40 to soc decline,
 April ?, 1876, cattle at this mar ket sold at $5,05; April IA, 1886, a sale was made at S5.65. With these exceptions, the month of April has meyer been the high point of the year for cattle. In 1882, however, the high point on natives was April 26, at $, 80, but June 10 some corn fed Colorados brought $40, which was the top of the year,
 April 2S; The supply of stockers and feeders was larger than for 8

As will be seen elsewhere, the Santa Fe railroad officials are con- sidering the advisability of estab- fishing COW rate, and it is hoped by the cattlemen of Arizona that such special rate may be adopted by which they can ship she stock with at least small profit, and re- duce the present overstocked con- dition of many ranges. It would prove to be a source of no small profit to the road and a great relief to ranchers, Let us hope the com pany can see the point.-Wilcox Stockman.

The Graham County Bulletin has the following information from San Carlos, which is reliable. Referring to an associated press dispatch from New Mexico last week, stating that the Indians on the White Mountain reservation were restless and liable to go on the warpath at any time, our correspondent says :: There Is not any truth in the report that the White Mountain Indians are having much trouble among themselves. All seem to be nov ing along as we'll as could be ex- pected. They are at work at their farms, ditches and dams and in all probably will be able to plant a crop of corn.

A Sioux City dispatch to the Omaha Bee says: The demand for stock cattle throughout the country surrounding Sioux City is very great, and increasing all the time. The high price of corn and other feed for the last few months frightened farmers in northwestern Iowa and adjoining parts of Nebraska and South Dakota, so that many of them sold and are now buying at advanced prices. Stock cattle are taken up by feeders as fast as they are offered for sale and at the high est figures during the year, prices having advanced $1.00 per 100 within a week.

followed. It is little early for the pets to be out, but this is probably a scouting party sent out to look the country over and see how the water is. Around Chloride, Her mosa, Hilisboro and Lake Valley is the old stamping ground of Yieto- rio and Mana. There are too many whites in that section now, and we think it would be rather unhealthy for any small rowing band of h. dians.

The tobacco crop in this neighbor-
hood is an experiment this year, as
many persons have planted small
crops and a few have planted larger
crops in order to test the soil and cli-
mate in that particular crop. So far
the crop looks well. 1t is now be-
lieved the yield and quality will
both be satisfactory, and we may eX-
pect to see a larger crop of tobacco
planted in this locality next year.

Among the most important changes is that affecting prospectors and others gong into that country with teams, mining imple- ments, etc who must make applica- 'ion in writing to the Secretary Of Hacienda, at the City of Mexico, for permission, stating just what they wish to take with them, and the time they wish on the bond. They will not be allowed to carry any freight or passengers beyond what is expressed in the bond. If they do SO they will forfeit their bonds and must pay full duty on their outfits.
 Other travellers can only bond in for eight days, which time can be granted by the administrator at the custom house
