Money for she Cattle owner.

ID. M. Stickney, a prominent cattle
man from Laramie. Wyoming, in an
interview at Denver the other day
made the following statement:
The stock business is most prom
ising, but there are q few difficulties
in the way. Feeders are very high
and dealers do not like to take chances
on heavy purchases. Still the de-
mand is increasing, and they will
probably go higher before they are
lower. was offered a bunch of fine
steers, 2sO, the other day at $3s per
head. l lost my nerve and before
/ recovered it the bunch had been
sold for $42. A man who keeps close
watch of the cattle market can see
such changes in value every day, and
they are nearly all changes that mean
money for the cattle owner"

CATTLE sHORT IN MEXICO.

1.-THE statement may astonish live
stock growers, but nevertheless Mex
leo is almost without CATTLE" said ].
NJ. Bernard of Waco. Texas, last
night. "This is due to the tremen-
dous demand for Mexican beef that
began exactly two years ago. and has
resulted in cutting down to very
small numbers the seemingly mex
haustible herds of northern Mexico.
The States of chihuahua and Sonora
alone have been shipping to Cuba
from 5000. to 5000 head Of cattle q
month. That is why the Cuban re-
bellion has lined the pockets of the
Mexican stockman with gold. It is
singular, indeed, when one stops to
consider, that Mexico, which so cru
ely felt the iron hand Of Spain CEN
turies ago. should in these modern
days furnish food in vast quantities
for the enemies OF the descendants OF
Cortez.
During the last quarter Of 1897 the
total value OF cattle that came into the
United States was s222 .522, and this,
too, regardless of the fact that the
duty upon cattle imported from Mex
leo is about 50 per head. All this
stock is Of low grade, and the beef it
makes is far from being equal to the
product. The result is that
Mexican beef is bringing unheard OF
prices. Omaha Bee.
