The anticipa;ions OF better market
ana improved prospects generally in
the livestock line after the holidays
are already beginning to be realized

appreelably affected ny tho stimulus
whleh returning activity infuses, The
receipts at the local yards yesterday
were better than for any day during
the past week, cattle were stronger
and hogs were generally ten cents

good hogs are selling as high as S3.37 l-2
This favorable beginning OF the week
has Infused new life into the livestock
business and given fresh Impetus
TO the market.
The Dallas Farm and Ranch. In lis
last issue, says: The first public auc-
ton sale of horses at the Fort Worth
Stock Yards on Thursday last was
the iirst move in the enterprise of es-
tablishing permanent horse market
there. on account of lack OF proper
advertising and the Indictment weather
II was comparative failure. But few
buyers attended. and but few sales
were made. We do not believe this bad
beginning will be permitted TO kill
the enterprise, but simply to side track
II for u more ausplclous season. Fort
Worth IL now the great cattle and
hog market os the state. The enter
prise Of the stock yards will not be
complete until a regular horse market
is added. It can be made a success.
but not with any great degree OF sud
denness.
This generous tribute to the Fort
Worth market Is merlted as recent
events have proven AMI that part OF
1t which predicts further Efforts in
the enterprise Of establishing horse
and mule market Is verified by the an
nouncement that another au ton sale

favorable circumstances that attended

important conditions OF the recent sale
OF the property to the Chicago company
