UTAH CATTLE IN MONTANA.
Northern Ranges Are BEING Utii'
lied For Their FatteninG.


During the present year the territory
Of Utah and the state of Nevada have
sent thousands of cattle, both
steers and stock, into the state of Mon
tana for ranging purposes and when the
same are thrown upon the open market
this fall and sell at good prices, which
they will bring, then the state on the
north will receive all of the credit which
should he distributed among the two
states and the one territory, Montana
TO get full dues for her superior grazing
lands and Utah and Nevada for their I'M
surpassed breeding ranges. 1t is eSti-
mated that from Utah alone over 5000
mead of cattle have gone into the north
and in all instances the shipments have
Saur derS returned to this lily yesterday
morning from Montana. where he had
been to arrange for the delivery of a
heavy string of cows and calves for the
ranges of Pierre Weibaugh, the French
nobleman who is making a fortune in
the handling of cattle on his extensive
ranches in the north. Mr.. Saunders
states that the eastern and central por-
lions of the state of Montana are in
splendid shape and the grass on the
ranges is the finest for ten years, while
in the north and northwest conditions are
not quite so favorable, ii being = little
more dry. Taken altogether, however,
the cattlemen of Montana have nothing
70 complain of, and their inVeS tmentS in
southern cattle should prove very re-
munerative 10 them. Shipments of fat
cattle TO the eastern markets from Mon
prices should be good. The COWS and
calves contracted by Mr.. Saunders are
Low on the road north, shipments haV-
ing been made from Milford and Oasis.
One of the heaviest Utah shippers to
Montana points has been the Promontory
Stock company, which has sent all of
its marketable stock into the north.
From Nevada extensive shipments have
been made by John Sparks and MeSsrs.
Saunders and Parsons.
Delivery of Canaan Cattle.
Advices received from the south are to
the effect that to the date of the dis
herds of the Canaan Cooperative Stock
company had been turned over TO the
agents of Mr. Saunders, and still the
field forces of cowboys were in the sad
die and will probably continue the work
of delivery until toward the end of. the
month of August. Upon the drafts of Sec
rotary Woolley, Mr.. Saunders has now
paid on the cattle total OF Sos. 600, which
includes 5000 of the forfeit money or
cne-half. The Canaan ranges. in com
mol with all others of the southern part
and the cattle come up in good condition
There ssh be practically no loss, except
the regular retirement from activity of
the old cows.
CampbeIHs String Received.
The Allen c. Campbell string of steers
CAME ID from the south yesterday and
Unlosaded at the Union stool; yards. There
were sixteen carloads and re-shipment
will be made from the yards this morn
ing to Clay. Robinson & Co., at Omaha
1t was at first thought that sale could
be effected here in this city to the local
dealers, but the terms offered were not
satisfactory to Mr.. Camphelrs agents.
and the decision was reached to make a
shipment onto tire eastern markets
where quotations for fat cattle are still
good. These steers are from the Nevada
ranges OF Mr. Campbell, and they are in
frst-class condition.
Improvement anticipated.
It is anticipated ty the stock growers
and the other handlers of livestock that
there will yet be marked Improvement
in the markets. and the opinion is based
upon the fact that tho reports from
growing crops in the central west are of
the most encouraging, and il is very evil
dent that there will be an abundance of
corn for the fattening of cattle and hogs
Should this prove to be the case and
every indication is that way then the
farmers Of the corn-grov ing states will
be anxious for the purchase of Sometime
which viii consume the grain with profit
Nothing will do this like livestock and
therefore the natural inference is that the
demand for cattle viii be ccdsidera bIy in
creased by the good harvests of the inn
mediate future.
