get the freight, and it is alleged that the
roads agent is capturing all of the most
desirable lots and shipping them over his
line.
A couple Of weeks ago row was raised
over the Milwaukee's action, but the affair
has quieled down somewhat, either because
the shippers could not help themselves or
the proof positive could not be secured.
Nevertheless, the road is still accused of
investing in stock for the freight there is in
it, and the fact that its stock shipments are
larger than those Of any other line and that
they are made by the alleged agent is con-
sidefed proof enough for the stockmen.
The cattle business through Kansas City
is likely TO receive a new impetus soon.
Nelson Morris has big lot of cattle down
in Texas which is TO be moved soon, and
negotiations with the railroads are already
on. The Santa F'e, it is said, will probably
do the business. although the katy" and

the deal. 1t is said that extra mileage on

Mr.. Haggard was seen yesterday and said:
Eyes, of course, l enjoyed the trip,

How did you travel?''
Railroads, horseback, muleback or on
foot, according to the country. The climate
is very trying there with heat and insects ;
the air swarms with them-mosquitoes, jig
gers and kind of tick called 'garapapata. -
They make life a misery We made the
City of Mexico our headquarters and made
short trips here and there. We visited the
Chispas country, where valuable mines
have recently been discovered"

''Livei Oh, as we could-ike dogs" said
Eaggard, laughing. Sometimes we found
huts to crawl into at night, and. if not, we
stayed in the open air. Yes, l have plenty
Of material for my story; but cannot stop
to talk about it. l shall take the time of
Cortez to fill it in, as l believe the MeXicans

MEETING POPULAR FAVOR.
Sam Lazarus Says the Cattle Market WAS
Never in Better Shape or Prospects.


Cattlemen are taking q lively interest in
the Times predictions OF a better market
for some time to come. They are confident
that matters have gone as low as possible
and that things will soon take an upward
turn Mr.. Sam Lazarus, one Of the largest
cattle dealers in Texas, recently sad that
the prospects for q better market were
very bright. He thought that there would
be no repetition of the forced sales OF last
summer when the CherokeeS trip was
evacuated. This, he thought, had bad
influence on the market, but he was conf
dent that the prices would SO up this year.
While the demand for meats Is constantly
increasing, according to Mr. Lazarus the
supply is continually decreasing, and the
natural tendency Will be TO force prices up
several points.
Mr.. c. NJ. Bruce, the manager of the
Barbacomari cattle company, the largest
cattle company in Southern Arizona, SAID
that the producers on the Pacific coast had
reason to be thankful for the improved
condition Of things. He said that to his
mind the editorial and local article. the
Times expressed the situation exactly. he
believes in new era of prices and in an
other season of the general prosperity for
the cattle producers of the West. MIR.
James Converse, one Of the youngest and
most successful of the business men of
North Dakota engaged in the cattle bust
ness, is also confident te3t prices Will De
better for the next month or two but he
does not wish to make any assertions as to
the far future He has recently Travelled
over Texas and the Southwest looking at
the cattle interests there and he finds
great many reasons for encouragement be-
sides the mere question Of the prices.
Mr. ]. c. Leary of Denver, the livestock
agent OF the Union Pacific, Is also firm
believer in the good prices and the good
times that are to come. He bases his pre-
dictions upon the fact that the shipments OF
cattle from the South to the Northern
ranges have decreased in a great measure.
He thinks that the sum total of the cattle
to be sent from south to nor Il this year
will not amount to more than 10000. Mr..
Leary believes that the railroads may pos
sibly transport 100, 600 cattle, but that the
cowboys will not drive more than z, 900
cattle north. The usual migration has run
from two to three hundred thousand head
annually Mr. Leary believes that this is
indicative of a shortage. These four opin-
ions coming from widely different sections
of the country demonstrate that the Times
is not far out Of the way when the predlc-
ton of higher prices and better times are
made.
Mr.. James w. Johnson of Hamilton,
Kan. is at the Midland. He says the pros
poets for increased prices and for q steady
market are brighter than they have been
for a long time Mr. Johnson is one of the
largest feeders in the vicinity OF Enporia,
and he is a close student of markets rather
than maxims. He says that the farmers
and the cattle breeders of the Southwest
have reasons to feel greatly encouraged
over the situation Kansas City Times.

New YORK. March 31.-JobberS in dry
goods still experience the dizziness that has
prevailed for nearly two months.
Distant customers, who should have ap-
pearcd in great numbers long ago, have not
yet been seen, and in some minds there is
fear that they will not come at all. as the
season is so far advanced; but buyers from
all points are confidently expected before
long, throughout the distant portions of the
country. which usually sends many buyers
TO New York The weather has been very
rainy and business unprosperous. Buyers
from these sections undoubtedly purchased
beyond their needs last fall before the Nc
Kinney law went into effect.
The general feeling in dry goods is one OF
hopc.ulness, however, and leading dealers
look for favorable change within a few
weeks, as they have looked for it al along
The efforts of the Southern plaid manu-
taC'urers TO form a combine to control

nut his goods into its hands for sale if
formed. At the second session of the same
convention Ut Danville, Va, the directors
of Riverside mills firmly announced that
they would not depart from their previous
resolution to hold aloof from any combine
unless all the mills in the South, making
the same class of goods, were parties
thereto. The convention adjourned without
accomplishing anything. and 1t Is thought
in New York the project will be abandoned.

RANGE CATTLE PROSPECTS.
Here's the Way the Chicago DroSer's
Journal Puts 1t.

Late adyices from the Northwestern
range country are generally favorable, the
late heavy snowfall guaranteeing plenty OF
moisture for summer grass. In some sec
tions, however, the reports say that the
SHOWS were so deep and remained so long
-four weeks that the cattle became badly
emaciated and losses were much heavier
than were thought possible few weeks
ago.
If the range cattle are good there is little
doubt about their meeting a good demand.
The best Of them, it is thought will sell
readily for expectation. Some well in
prices. 1t is all right to be sanguine, but it
is better to be prepared not to be too much
disappointed if hopes are not realized.
In the southwest there is lvelier trad
ing in range cattle than there has been
since the old boom days of the early
eighties. Owing to the late money strin-
gency buyers who had cash We're able to
make some highly advantageous deals IN
Texas cattle this spring. Thousands of
cattle were bought at prices that even now
show ! profit of s3a7 per head. The high
price of feed stuff has caused many feeders
to merely rough their cattle along until
they can be more cheaply fattened on grass.
This, coupled with the fact that grass was
too wet in the southeast and too dry in the
southwest portion of the state 10 make
early beef, has caused decided decrease in
marketing of Texas cattle this year COM
cattle in the Southwest have been con-
tracted by Chicago buyers, and the move
ment to Northern grazing grounds has been
larger than last year.
The general outlook for range cattle is
certainly not bad.
