Bradstreets says of the prospects for
the cattle industry: "The situation in
the cattle market seems to be some
thing like this: Desirable cattle are
scarce. Prices have been good for
some time and cattlemen have been
sending all their available stock to
market. Ready money has been in
demand and but few choice calves have
been raised. In consequence of this
young beeves are particularly hard to
get. 1t seems reasonable to expect
that the good prices that now obtain
will hold good for some time. Many
cattlemen think, and it is believed
there are good reasons for their 80 do
ing.

cellent condition. The railroad COM
pany refused to give rates that would
come anywhere in the neighborhOod of
offsetting the cost of the ever
land drive, so rather than pay some
500 on ten carloads of cattle
they were driven to their new pasture.
The local ranges have been cropped
pretty closely by Mr.. Johpson's cattle,
so division of the herd was decided
upon as the best course to adopt to en-
able the grass to recover It's wonted
vigor. Mr.. johnson is figuring on an
other transfer soon, in which case he
may drive to Deming and ship via the
Southern and Texas Pacific routes
