A WESTERN REVIEW
Chicago. w. P. Anderson, general
travelling agent of the Union Stock Yards
and Transit company, of Chicago, says in
his annual report: "
"The advice of the different cotton ex-
changes to the planters Of Texas to cur

crop was the cause of many cattle being

of the quarantine line, so that they
might find feeder markets other than the
cottonseed mills of Texas, etc, afforded.
This, and the still further curtailment of
the cotton crop, through unreasonable
weather, reduced the Texas cattle feed
ing numerically from about 325,000 in
1885 to about 100000 or 125,O0o in 1896.

ports show an actual increase of the num-
