greater than it was last.
Several Texas sheep men were held
up at the territorial line by Q. w.
Lewis. inspector for Eddy county,
pending the payment of an inspection

be q large numbe of cattle fattened in
the Pecos valley this year for the Kan
sas City market.
James Baker brought in three big
lobo hides from the Henderson ranch
yesterday. This makes four lobos kill
ed on the Henderson ranch since the
organization, and there ia no telling
how many dollars it will save MIR. Hen
derson and other stockmen in that sec
tton in the course of time. If the asso
citation of stockmen is kept up for
year or two there will not be enough
wild animals left in this county for
seed.-West Texas Stockman.
The expected" has happened in
the valley this season. 1t began to
look two months ago as if the feeding
business would be largely entered into
much new land was broken up and
planted in alfalfa, most of which as
sures good stands. 1t appears now
that not only have the new fields been
leased, or sold, in some instances, but
that the old pastures of long standing
are in great demand. This state of af
fairs was, as remarked above, in a
measure looked for but not to the ex-
tent that now exists. Very many OF
the large breeders here, who during
the spring made large shipments north
and east of young stock, withheld
number of wen bred animals for the
purpose of placing them on their own
alfalfa feed lots here, or those they
expected to acquire by either lease or
purchase. N. NJ, CORES

Beef and Prosperity.-Ass an evidence
of prosperity among all classes of
people consider the great and growing
demand for beef st Chicago. Take
Monday of last week for example.
With %, 900 head of cattle received
that day the market was active and
firm, with only slight decline, while
with $4,000 hogs and 1900 sheep on
the market at the same time all were
sold readily at good prices. With 3d.
900 cattle and calves, $1,000 hogs and
40, 900 sheep received during the next
three days, still the cattle market
ruled steady to strong, with prices firm
and we'll sustained, while Friday, with
!, ZOO cattle, $4,000 hogs and 10000
sheep, the cattle market was active and
10 cents higher, Texas cattle selling 10
and Is cents higher. The receipts for
Monday of this week are 20, 600 cattle,
45, 600 hogs and lS, 900 sheep, with cat
tie firm and active at the advance, and
a steady market for both hogs and
Stockman.
The Denver cattle traders do not
care for a repetition of the business of
June, 1899, and for matter of fact
they would be more than pleased if the
business of the last two months will
never be repeated. The cattle receipts
for the past month were 1874 less
than the same month last year. Sew
eral causes have entered into this.
Primarily Wyoming did not take as
many cattle from the south as last year,
neither did Montana-neither of year
ings or % and neither did Nebraska
and Kansas take its usual number of
southern yearlings, and the west was
not supplying the east as formerly,
because the coast states, Alaska and
the Philippines were the best custom
ers. The demand from Nebraska, Kan
sas and Wyoming for 2year-olds could
not be supplied. These rangemen de-
