Fine rains and warm genial weather
all over the range country in Texas
are reported, with cattle improving
rapidly.
1t is likely that for this and next
month light weight steers Will be most
in demand. In July heavier steers
viii again be in demand for export
purposes.
1t is now estimated that the north
ward movement of southern cattie
through Denver this season Will
amount to 300 900 head, nearly thirty
per cent more than a year ago.
While no material decline in prices
of cattle is expected it is hardly prob

Twelve purebred yearling Hereford
bulls were recently exported from
Great Britain for the purpose OF I'M

Whenever heifers get to be worth

be too valuable to ship, and will be
held for breeding purposes, or sold TO
breeders. Then after that goes on for
a while cattle will be more plentiful

petition for Texas cattle this summer
The Kansans are not prepared to hand lie
them in such large quantities as their
northwestern neighbOr5, but Will pay
full market price before going back
without what they want
Replying to an enquiry as to the
true extent of losses the past winter on
the northwestern range, the represen-
tative of an extensive company ranch
inc in Montana, says that while there
was no means of ascertainiug with &C
curacy until roundup work commenced
the losses are professionally very
heavy.
A great deal of the opposition to the
proposed tariff on Mexican cattle ema-
mated from Kansas men, many of whom
have cattle interests 10 Mexico, using
that country as a breeding ground and
shipping the steers to market on the
transi stop privilege. 1t Is quite ma
tural that these gentlemen should OBJ
ject to the restrictions proposed and
equally natural that Texas cattlemen
should object to such competition right
at their doors.
