tho value OF their stock this year. and
the bright prospects for the future OF
the trade. While many are lamenting
the fact that they have not larger
crop OF cattle to market they should
,.at Ns.F. gttt,1y
would have kept values much below tt'
present figures The combined receipts
ut the principal markets OF the West
will show n decrease this year compur-
ed with 1902 OF not less than One-hRlf
million head, while the Industrial con-
dltions OF the country are such that u
very large Increase In the demand for
meat Is already experienced The par
tial failure OF the corn crop In the couu-
try tributary TO Kansas city has caused
our dealers to Look TO Texas to supply
the deficiency Of corn fed cattle and
the results show an Increase In receipts
from this state OF over i25 per cent
compared with last year The lnrge-
hearted hospitality OF the Fort worth
people grows with each year. and the
evidence OF prosperity on every hand

Stock exchange to Texas a year ago
was one Of the most profitable trips

cattle. | think these cattle conven-
lions are n great thing for the cattle
rnisers. and ! know they are very val
liable to us. our Kansas City delega-
ilon is much larger than last year and
every one Of us rs loaded with Kansas
city literature, We think next to Fort

on earth. We have IN our party In adj.
diton to livestock people a number of
bankers ana other representatives OF
financial Institutions, several OF whom
nave not before visited Texas. We eN.
