The supply Of western rang srs
gets decidedly smaller as the season
grows later, and cold weather will
soon stop shipments entirely. The
total arrivals at Chicago last week
amounted to 1900 head, against g.
200 the week before and Z,6OOa year
ago. The supply for the eas to
date amounts to 147, 700, against
l45, 100 a year ago. During last
week the demand had been quite
good for all the desirable cattle,
while the common grades sold
slowly. Most Of the supply last
week consisted of common to me-
dium stock.
The Folsom correspondent to the
Buffalo Gap Republican. remarks
that it would seem that there is no
rest for the stock in that district.
One roundup outfit follows another.
Two granger outfits ars now work.
ing in that vicinity. This is hardly
right or fair to the local stockmen.
1t cannot be good for the range
stock that is located to be "ginned"
around SO much, especially SO late in
the season. Something should be
arranged another year. The 6 L
wagon worked the country q few
weeks back when everyone might
have gathered their stock. Wetrnst
some M will bring this before the
stock association next spring, when.
better arrangements can doubtless
be made.
"A Montana exchange remarks
that the northwestern stockmen are
coming to the finish Of. one of the
most favorable seasons for their
business ever known here. The
winter ranges are in the best condi-
tion-better than have been known
for years. Grass and accessible
water are plentiful. It is said that
double the usual amount Of hay is
stacked, 80 that unless the coming
winter is unusually severe, stock
and stockmen will come out all right.
The recent cold snap e~mbarrasses
some sheep shippers who had been
holding back for better prices, which
they imagined would rule the later
market after elections were over.
Just then it was too cold to risl
the transit Of double-deckers across
Dakota.
