founded principally on the resumption
of manufacture in the east and the vol
untary increase in wages that has been
going on since the first OF the year.
Dun's review two weeks ago says:
.sBy far the best assurance OF good
business in the future is found in the
general rise of wages. The general
advance in the earnings OF cotton mill
operatives, in most cases 10 per cent,
of iron and steel workers 1O per cent,
and tin plate and sheet workers 8 to 10
per cent; and of coal miners in some
large districts about as much, has Get
pace which most establishments
will follow which have reduced
wages in the past years of depression.
Those who fail to comprehend what
such change mty mean have only to
consider that a tenth increase ins the
wages of all labor would put into the
markets a new buying demand, in
amount about three-quarters OF the
entire value of exports to all countries.
The volume of business shows no signs
of decrease, and for the first full week
of March has been about SIT per cent
greater than in the same week of last
year: and 900 per cent greater than 10
1892 +"
This points conclusively to the fact
that more of the solids must be con-
sumed and the people will have the
wherewith to pay for them.-Denver

Many people seem to be laboring un-
der the idea that if the loss of cattle
from winter storms is heavy the prices
on the cattle left are sure to be higher;
that heavy losses will be favorable to
the bull side of the market. Perhaps
eventually this is true but past ex-
perience has shown an exactly opposite
effect, at least 90 far as stock cattle are
concerned. The principal buyers OF
stock cattle are the rangemen. The
man who suffers a heavy loss during
be particularly enthusia site to
buy more cattle in the
spring. 1t makes him discouraged and
unhappy and he generally succeeds in
instilling some of his discomfort into
his neighbor. The result is a lighter
demand, unless particular inducements
in the way of low prices are held out.
the losses for the present winter will
be. In some instances they have al
ready been heavy, but it will be May
before anyone can say positively just
what the damages have been. 1t is
noticed that the heavy buyers are not
showing any disposition yet to rush
after cattle. They are waiting to see
where they are at.-Denver Stockman.
M. S. Gordon, of Weatherford, has
shipped the fine calf which he bought |
at the auction sale of Herefordssto Col |

the process of incubation with serum |
in order to render it immune against |
the Texas fever. The experiment on
this valuable animal will be watched |
with interest, 1t will be remem bered |
that Mr.. Gordon paid $4,000 for his
prize, and those who attended the auc-
ton sale did not consider that he had
done himself much harm, if any. The
calf was donated by o. 81. Nelson, of
the firm of Nelson & Gordon to the
