There is something like an absurdity
in the suggestion. The history OF Tex

Such has been the state Of affairs
from the time when the memory Of the
oldest inhabitant runneth not to the
contrary.
But It is not that way now.
Tie decline in the price OF beef cat
tie in the past two or three years has
been gradually cutting down the mar
gin Of profit, and within the last year
prices have run down so that the cat
tie raiser has generally had a margin
OF loss TO account for at the end OF the
season.
OF course there ARE stu lots OF cat

districts were all but depopulated OF

The stock cattle were rushed to the
Indian Territory and there fattened for
beef cattle. And the more cattle there
were thus thrown on the market the
lower prices ranged. In this. as in the
case OF every other production which
has been seeking market during the
past year the more plentiful the sup

controlled the money needed it in their

there could be no limit 10 the low range
Of prices. Isut In this there has been
rather large mistake.
Beer Is not like other products. which

prices OF the past season.
When cattleHen have been compelled
to sell their stock cattle, that's an end
OF the cattle business for them, as well
as everybody else for the time being.
This Is the condition Of affairs in
some parts OF Texas today. And many
