actions Of rather an unexpected nature, in
volving in ALL over 5,010,0J) pounds but apart
from these transactions, business has been
very quiet. The most conservative dealers
those who are generally disposed to take their
profit the momenr they see itnre refusing to
spll NJ current figures, rs, after searching tho
world over, they 40 not SEQ where they are
going 20 replace their holdings nj these quota
tions. IT Is I'm this fact that the real
strength Of the market consists.

The Shortage of Cattle.

"On the Pacific coast" says Tom Keogh in the Salt Lake City Tribuns; "there is almost panic for enough est. tie to supply the local market, and indi- cations are that before Christmas the dressed beef men from this side of the mountains will be shipping cattle to California. Prices are advancing at aa alarming rate, and even the high prices are not drawing out many cattle, tor the reason that they are not in the country.
 "Take it on the Pacific coast now. l know that around the Reno district, iH Nevada, whence California has drawn it's great supply for years, there are only 5000 or 1000 head left, where there were nearly 30.000 last spring. The good prices in the east have induced eastern buyers to enter the district and buy, and the CaIifornians did not awaken to the situation until they saw the cattle being shipped out.
 ''In the same way eastern buyer have cleaned out Arizona. Oregon. WashiHgs ton, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado and mest of Utah.
 "For several ears cattlemsn hays spsved their he sars and Kattened them and yasr-o .1 g for the market. until The ranges lr- -rgJlutelv barren The great bulk of She cattle of this country are now concentrated in Nebraska. Kansas, Iowa and Missouri, where they can get corn"

The Boom Tn Sheep.
Range Nsws.l


 The sheep industry has recently sx- perienced most remarkable revival. From condition of extreme depression which brought hundreds of it's patrons to bankruptcy. 1t has suddenly leaped to the front rank of prosperous indus- tries. The comparatively new enter prise of feeding lambs on large scale in Colorado and other states has also contributed to the boom in sheep grow. ing. Cattle breeding having also re- ceivsd strong impetns, the old hostl' lity between sheepmen and cattlemen may presently be revived. Sheep have already occupied the range vacated by cattle as a result of the recent years of drought. In Wyoming and New Mex ico large areas which formerly sup ported herds of cattle are now given up to sheep. In northern Arlzona & sim liar transition is in progress, and II B

 Sheriff Scott White spent Thursday in Wilcox, having just returned froA the line, Thither he had gone toinvest- igate the truth of the report that three members of Black Jacks gang had been apprehended and were in durancs at Fronteras, Mexico. After riding all night Sheriff White found that there was not even convincing evidence that the outlaws had been arrested. He thought they might have voluntarily paid fine. Officers collected in Morits resorts several dollars in battered sil- yer coin which had been spent in ths place by the party on their entrancs into Mexico, the appearance of the money being regarded as conclusive evidence that the party WAS responsi- ble for the recent hold up at Grants, New Mexico.
