speaking Of the cattle outlook, MIR. Evans
is thoroughly enthused on the subject, and
is confident the o!d-time cattle business is
opening up again in Texas. Prices are
elm birg up to where all thorough cattle
men like TO see them. and are going to
stick. Eastern markets must look in this
direction for their beeves, and good ones
are in demand and will bring good figures,
as already The quotations have indicated.
A Fort Worth cattleman said yesterday
to j reporter: No, no news-but there's
one thing I've noticed, there are great
nun Der of inferior cattle being placed on
the Eastern markets, and are quoted as
Texas cattle, and the prices they bring,
while every cent they are worth, does more
h2{1So Texas than one who does not make
PBtady would think. True, there are
es0me choice Texans being placed on the
markets, they are bringing top figures
they are worth it, and are going higher,
but those inferior ones should be Kept of
the market thirty or sixty days longer;
then they would be in condition, besides it
would pay the parties placing them there
to do it. Now where steers have been fed
on cotton seed and meal in addition TO what
they secured on the range during the win

ket, but you'll find their owners holding
that sort, and still feeding, and when they
go to market you'u hear from EN-"
"Quite a number Of range cattle are be-
ing cut out and loaded for Northern ranges
that are not able to stand the trip said
well posted cattleman yesterday. Take
some Of those ranges where cattle have
Jared badly the past winter-while they are
paratively few in Texas there are
enough Of them-and generally they are fed
but twice on the trip. Well, ii will take
two or three weeks even if they stand the
trip through, for them TO gain the condition
they were in when they started They
should be held on their present range for at
least thirty days yet, then the trip would
not hurt them at all. l don't mean to say
this applies TO al shipments. for there has
some mighty good cattle passed through
here this spring-then there has been some
mighty thin ones. AL over Texas grass is
coming on nicely now. Give 'em start at
home, so that the trip to other ranges won't
hurt EN- e.
There were six trains of feeders loaded
