General Livestock Notes.

Maj J. S. Krinnan of Terrell was in the
city yesterday. Maj. Krinnan is a breeder
and raiser Of Herefords, and recently dis
posed of forty-six to Mr.. Powell, OF the
firm of Rhome g. Powell. Mr.. Powell
placed these with others he had bought TO
fill an order from New Mexico. Mai.
krinnan is well pleased with the outlook
for cattle business, and in speaking Of
Kaufman county, especially his section,
says grass was never better and cattle are
looking well. He has large land interests
also in the county and says crops are fine.
-
There is quite let-up in the movement
of feeders from this state ct present. The
movement for two months up to ten days
ago has been SO heavy and constant that the
ranges are considerably thinned out now.
and the cattle are doing splendidly, and
stocknen are in no especial hurry to move
them, except in instances where there is .
special effort made TO place early grass
beef on the market. There is good move
ment yet, however, but compared with the
rush il appears insignificant.
Mr.. L. ]. Miles, livestock agent in the
Usage country, is in the city for the pur-
pose of interviewing livestock men here
who contemplate moving cattle to the graz
ing lands of the Territory and use his best
efforts to have them placed in the Usage
country. During the heavy movement of
cattle TO the Northern ranges for several
weeks prior to the 18th of April the Usage
country was closed against Texas cattle, at
least until it was too late to place any great
number there; but now the country is open
and no doubt great numbers of Texas feed
ers will be shipped there, as the range IS
represented as being in abundance and of
the best quality and the country well Wa
tered. Mr.. Miles will visit other portions
of Texas during this trip.
Joe Mast of Crockett county recently sold
100 head of grass fed beeves to be delivered
at San Angelo, AT $50 per head. Pretty
good price for grassers.
-.
John p Brown. manager of the St. Louis
cattle company, has sold 1000 head OF year
ling steers at $40 per head. He thinks this
the best sale he has made in long time.
The late rains will make a mint of money
for stock raisers and farmers. The grass
and Vegetation are doing their pest and the
old cows will now begin to make a shadow
- bid defiance to the pesky heel fly.
The great Northwest was so short of
corn last fall that cattle were placed upon
the markets at almost any price, and the
Stockyards were depleted. Now these
states are buying largely in Texas, and as. q
result the prices OF good range cattle are.
stifening every day.
The Floyd County Times says: ''The
prices of cattle have advanced at least 80
per cent above last years quotations, and
the outlook was never better for a still far
Their advance in price. 1t will pay to hold
for better price. y reaction in the cattle
market has at last set in. and the stockman
will be able to realize handsome dividend
on his investment
The MeXia Ledger says: ga train of
twelve cars passed through the city Satur-
day evening en- route to New Orleans.
There was nothing remarkable about this
train except that these cars were loaded
with the products OF Texas institution
meat from the Fort Worth packing COM
pany. This meat will go to Liverpool,
England. The hogs slaughtered in this
Texas institution are mostly shipped hcpes
from Kansas, but we trust the time is nd
far distant when Texas can furnish her
own meat for her own packery. 4
