Southern Utah Cattle Heading For
the Point of Delivery

Southern Utah Cattle Heading For
the Point of Delivery.
Within the next ten days there will
be some heavy movements of southern
Utah cattle. the busiest point in pros
pect being the station of Milford. on
the Union Pacific, at which place in
the neighborhood of 10000 head of
cattle are TO be delivered at once. B.
r. saunders will reach Milford this
evening from the south, where he has
been for the purpose of personally in
specting the cattle being turned over
TO his agents by the Canaan Co-opera-
tive Stock company, on the ranches Of
the latter, recently purchased by Mr.
Saunders and associates. On Monday
the gentleman will receive several
which are to be at once delivered by
him to one of his customers. MIR.
saunders has alone purchased some
1850 head of cattle in the southern
part of the territory, exclusive of the
Canaan stock. and the major portion
of this stuff is for June and July de-
livery. The work of turning over the
Canaan cattle is progressing very rap
idly, there being a large force of men
engaged in gathering and branding.
Purchased Idaho Cattle.
Hon. Orlando North is back from
Idaho, where he went for the purpose
of purchasing cattle for feeding on the
ranches of the Bear River Land and
Cattle company below the city of
Evanston. He was very successful
and gathered up something over 1000
head of steers which are to be de-
livered at Caldwell and Weiser, al
though not until the month of Sep
TENDER. Then the stock will be taken
at once to the ranches of the COM
pany and some prepared for market,
while the remainder will be fed during
the winter. Mr.. North reports that
the conditions surrounding the cattle
industry in the state on the north are
very favorable and the outlook is ex-
tremely encouraging. There will be
some heavy shipments made from
there during the fall and winter.
The Holt Livestock Commission COM
pany has just purchased of the Utah
Colorado Land and Cattle company.
some 400 head of steers. which were
received from the southeastern part
of the territory. and the shipment was
made from Price yesterday. This left
600 head out of the bunch purchased
by the company and these, NJ. h Par
sons, general manager, shipped to
the Colorado ranch.
Few Eastern Shipments.
There are now no Utah cattle on
the eastern markets and it is hardly
likely that any shipments will he
made for some time TO come, for this
is the season between hay and grass
and there are comparatively few mar
ketable steers in the territory
Up in Cache valley some
few punches of cattle fed there by
eastern dealers are now being finished
60. The ,oa,.lxat and these are about the
only ones being counted upon ~ TINS
time. Every indication points to a stun
further advance in the price OF I'VE
stock. and the we'll posted declare that
the markets must go up. Receipts at
Omaha, Chicago and Kansas city are
now extremely short and there mas
been a shortage during the past i've
months of over 100000 head of cattle
alone. not saying anything regarding
the sheep and hogs, which also snow
a great falling off as cCmpar-
ed with last year. Statistics snow
that the cattle are not in the country
this year, and, in consequence, there
must be an advance in quotations 1t
is not anticipated by the conservative
that the Importation of Mexican cattle
will have any noticeable effect upon the
markets of the United States. The
supply IS 10 short and City of Mexico
prices TO good.
Sheep Moving Freely.
During the past few weeks there has
been quite movement in sheep from
the west. Idaho contributing her share
to the shipments. On Monday So car
loads Of mutton were sent out from
stations along the Short Line, con-
signed to the Chicago market. The
sheep were not in very good condition
and they are to be sold for feeders.
