Men who bought Texas sheepto feed awhile
ago at s. 60(d3. 30 are rather getting the
worst of 1t now. The fed Texas sheep are
selling on the market around 81, which is
notenough margin TO make the owners feel
very happy. Competition from Western
range sheep is doing it. 1t is said, however,
that supplies from this source are short.

to market over the different roads leading
out of Fort Worth from off the Denver the
last two days. Whether this will have any
effect on the price of Texas cattle remains
to be seen. Anyhow the late advance in

and whether it will continue depends upon
the prices received The following shipped

Col R. E. Maddox brought in the city
yesterday for inspection the colts of Pea
cock and Dandy or Tarrant (his regis
tered name). They are fine lot and have
been on grass since dropped without at
tention, but will be weaned and fed up
from now Oh.
The first was beautiful chestnut colt,

A chestnut colt, by Peacock: dam, Jennie,
second premium-F. b. Daggett.

Graham-R. E. Maddox.
Brown colt, by Tarrant; dam, Libby
Mac-R. E. Maddox.
These nine colts were all dropped in
April with the single exception of the one
following Kate Pitman which was foaled in
May. Col. Maddox has long been known as
raiser of fine stock, and he justly feels
proud of the success of his efforts to intro
duce some of the finest strains of blood into
this part of the state. These colts may
serve to show that fine FLOODED horses can
be raised here on the natural range, as they
have been running on the grass without
much attention up to date: and as they are
now to be weaned and fed they will be
showing pretty soon the effects of good at
tention from careful trainers. Col. Maddox
carried his horses back to Maddoxia Place,
one mile east of the city.
