The class of cattle known as
Texas Gamers is selling at a de
cline of so to IS cents per cwt. be.
low the prices prevailing a year
ago.
Export dealers ia cattle are now
taking 5000 TO 10000 head per
week, and the demand for good ex-
port stock was never better, albeit
prices linger on the lower lodges.
Mondays London cablpgram
quotes best American steers at ten
aud three quarter cents, agains,
ten and one half cents a week ago
and twelve and one half cents a
year ago.
! Receipts Of cattle last week at
Chicago, 5l.400; Kansas City,
l9,3OO; Omaha, $1,000 and ST.
Louis 1000, making a grand to-
tai OF loo, 0,400, against 100000 the
previous week aud l02,9OO corre-
spending week of 1893.
Permits for about 10000 cattle
to be shipped from what are
known as the safe districts" to
Kansas have been granted so far.
About 800 of these cattle were
shipped over the Rock Island, 400
over the Missouri Pacific, and the
balance over the Santa Fe.
Up to the 18th of May about
/ 100000 cattle had been bought in
Chicago for export. Same period
last year, January to May she sold
only about 10000 for that trade.
The increasing demand for export
beeves and dressed meat will soon
begin to strike the thin places in
tire supply, and then prices will
improve a little despite ratchets Of
the big four"
Ifthere is any indication of scab
it will pay to dip the sheep as soon
as possible after shearing-
When sheep are seen running
with head close to the ground and
stamping, the fly which produces
the grub in the head is near. Pat
some pine tar in the sleeps noses.
Recent exports of sheep have
been quite liberal, week before last
1904 being shipped. Cattle ex-
ports were week before last 10,979
head against IA, ,l04 for the preced-
ing week.
There is no use trying to down
the dressed meats system, but
what must come and what will
come in a few years is a division
of the business through the differ
ent cities of the country. The
packing industry came on the
country SO suddenly aud filed a
long felt want SO thoroughly that
before people had time to open
their eyes it had gotten into the
hands of combine who monopo-
lized the whole trade, and with
mammoth facilities that it has
been well nigh impossible for new
and smaller outfits who aspired tC
= a share of the trade tn compete al
all. This state of affairs cannot
last however, and within the next
decade we predict that packing
plants will spring up in the repre-
sentative cities of the different
sections of the country, which will
. stimulate competition for the trade
bring live stock to home market
and altogether be a boon to the
whole live stock industry.-Stoel

t If you think you cannot afford
. tO dip the whole flock, by al
means a week or ten days aftel
