Cattle receipts at Chicago the
first two months Of 1894, 469I20,
tho smallest since the first two
months Of 1889.
Cattle exporters are doing a
much larger business than they
we're at this time last year. For
the week ended with Saturday
last they took about $500 head
out of Chicago, as against 5000
head for the corresponding time in
1893.
When a frightened shepherd Of
fers his flock for less than it is
worth, if one has plenty of feed
and room, no time should be lost
in buying it, advises an exchange.
We have bought sheep in March
that paid for themselves within
six months. They will do it this
year. They are selling in some
quarters.
During the past two months 80,
49l, head of cattle, 148,307 quart
ers of beef and 1874 head of
sheep have been shipped from
New York and Boston, and prob
ably seven-eights of the total
shipments we're received, at Liver
pool, Southampton, Hull and
Glasgow, the remainder having
been shipped to Havre and Ham
burg.
This is the way an exchange has
of stimulating the backbone Of
those who are down hearted over
the price of live stock: "The alb
solute certainty of there always
being a market for cattle. sheep
and hogs is founded in the fact
that there are one billion human
beings to be fed on meat, and that
about 2OO,OOO,OOO hungry babies
are being born annually. Who
doubts the outlook"
The lower Pecos valley round
up has commenced aud will reach
Roosevelt about April %, and Fort
Sumner about May %, when the
grand cut will take place and the
cattlemen will be ready to drive or
ship their steers. The Cass Land
and Cattle company will have
5000 steers, mostly twos aud threes
to ship, which Mr.. w. G.. Triton,
manager of the company states are
in prime condition.
The climate and soil of the south
west is peculiarly adapted to the
raising of cattle, and this has long
been and will probably continue
to b. the leading industry in tina
section. Within a comparatively
recent period the cattle business
of the country has been almost
completely changed. The first
cattle from Texas that found their
way to the markets of the east
went as beef, but the corn-fed cat
tie of the states and the better
bred and better finished range
cattle of the west and northwest
soon crowded them out until they
were generally considered as infe-
rior and bought for Gamers.
w. G. Triton, manager of the
Cass Land and Cattle company,
was in Las Vegas during the week
purchasing supplies and transact
ing business. He stated that in
an interview hat cattle in his sec
ton are in splendid condition and
there is water enough in the pools
on the mesas of the southern part
of the Territory to run the cattle
until July. He says hat as yet
very few cattle have come TO the
river for water, which is "A sure in
dication hat there is plenty of il
on the highlands. Nh. Triton also
stated that the whole of the old
Jinglebod herd of cattle, consist
ing of about ten thousand head,
would be driven to the Adobe
Wall ranch in the Panhandle
country. This is the oldest brand
of cattle in the Territory, origin
ally belonging to old John Chisum.
