lnS llnely'
The stock panic has abated and prices
are advancing. Banks are exhibiting a
tendency to loan again and money for
speculative cattle will soon be plentiful.
The territory is overrun by purchasers
looking for ''snaps' on beef cattle, but
the prices are held firm by stockmen on
account of the scarcity of that class OF
cattle. The ranges are in excellent con-
dition throughout New Mexico and they
are being rapidly stocked. This prom
Uses to be a banner year for stockmen
and every effort is being made by buyers
and sellers to take advantage OF existing
conditions.
