F. ]. Godair, representing the firm
of Godair, Harding Go. of Kansas
CITY and Chicago, was seen at the
Knutsford last evening and said to Mr..
Corridor:
Il came from western Texas, where
/ have been all winter looking after
cattle and sheep, and L may be able
TO tell you something that would in
terest men in Z like business here:
One hundred and seventy-five thousand
sheep have been shipped, from San An
gelo to Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas
City within the last ninety days, and
nearly ali mutton sheep have been run
out for the season, so that supplies
from now on must come from the
northwest. This spring 1000 have
been shipped 10 northern markets and
the spring clip at San Angelo was two
and a, half million pounds, all selling
at from 5l2 to cents. l am here for
my house looking for western sheep
consignments. This winter l fed 1000
on cotton seed, meal and hulls at
ment, for this was the first large bunch
ever fed in this way. I found that in
ninety days sheep will gain twenty
five pounds on this feed
The gentleman said further:
THE prospects in Texas are for
very heavy cotton crop, which will
make big supplies of feed for the
cattle this coming winter. the meal
and hulls coming from the cotton.
Last winter about 100000 head of cat
tie were fed on this. sustaining heavy
losses TO feeders. If present crop pros
poets mateTialize. meal and hullS will
be very cheap and an unusual number
of cattle viii be fed the coming winter
there.
There was a great movement of
cattle from Texas to the Indian Terri
tory this spring. The cattle have done
well there and are ready for market
in large numbers. They are being held
back on account of a low market, but
will be forced to go shortly. They will
interfere materially with the north
west range cattle, as they strike the
market simultaneously"
MIR. Godair is bearish on markets
for summer and fall. He is thoroughly
posted on the business, and a pleasant
man to talk to.
Jose Dunipe, a cultured and accom-
plished Spaniard. registered at the
Knutsford yesterday. and saw the
sights of the city during the day. Be
ing directly from Spain it was ex-
pected that he would voice his senti-
lnentS on the Cuban situation, but in
fluent English he explained that he
was not politician and that he did
not care to talk on the matter
Both countries are right, and both
are wrong (America and SPAIN but it
is a delicate subject for me to dis
cuSs." he said.
I'm travelling in America for pleas
ure, having seen most of the old world
My home is in Seville, where export
Spanish products. | think that your
city is very beautiful, and I'm sorry
that / have not more time to see more
of it. I noticed when I visited the
lake today that your system
