tories are splendidly equipped for ad-
mission into the union. Oklahoma is

great as they are, cannot compare with
those of the two sister territories. The
storage of water for irrigation Will
place both Arizona and New Mexico
ahead of Oklahoma in agricultural
wealth, and our mineral resources are
no less permanent. The copper in sight
in mines already in operation in Ari-
iona is of greater value than the total

development of the mines and minerals
of Arizona and New Mexico is but just

Live Stock Movements.

The commercial movement of the
great staple commodities produced IN
the interior of the country is neces-
sariIy subject to something of a lull
during the midsummer transition from
one crop year to another. There Is.
nevertheless. in the data collected by
the treasury bureau of statistics, on
internal commerce up to the END Oh
June. an opportunity for half-year COM
parsons of commercial movements
such as those of livestock, grain. pro
visions and produce.
The five western markets of Chicago,
Kansas City. Omaha, ST. Louis and st.
Joseph, taken as an index of the trade
generally, report total receipts Of meat
producing stock, including cattle, hogs
and sheep, between January 1 and June
30. inclusive, of 14,766,s55 head. This
was 7C9, 2S3 head less than for the cor
responding period of 1901. and 34l.692
less than for 1900.
Taking the Chicago market as typi-
cal the monthly average weight of cat
tie has begun to recover from the lowe:
level of $40 pounds per head in April.
In May the average weight rose to 95I
pAunds. and in June to 964 pounds per
head. The average weight of hogs is
likewise recovering, but the numerical
supply is still nearly million short OF
the receipts for the first half of 1891.
a rough gauge in the increasing de-
mand for meats is found in the trunk
line shipments of provisions from Chi
cago and Chicago points. These ship
mcnts go primarily eastward from the
centcrs of production in the interior,
and secondarily southwark. For tbs
first 26 weeks of this year 652,211 tons
entered into this movement, compared
with 5T2.S15 tons last year. The gain OF
IL per cent over last year amounted
to an average of 1854 tons per week
more than the weekly demand for 1901
The five markets reporting stocks OF
cut meats had, in round numbers, "a
100000 pounds of cut meats in stock al
the end of June, 1902, against 81, 000.0 0t
pounds for the corresponding date il
1901. This is a decrease of u per cent
At Chicago the stocks were over 15,-
100000 pounds below the level of yea
ago. At the four other packing cen,

In connection with some statistics on
the production of brick, the geological
survey reports that there was a re-
markable increase in the number of
buildings erected in the forty-five larg-
est cities OF the country in 1901 as COM
pared with 1900. In 1901 the number of
building permits issued was S5,511. In
1900 it was 6S.417. The gain was there

of the buildings erected last year WAS

New York was first in the value of its
buildings, with $136, G15697. the number
| of permits was less by 1,056 than in
| Philadelphia, where the total value Of
the new buildings was only $29519 10,
and 1.GC5 more than in Chicago, where
| the total value was only $34, 962 ,015. The
average value of buildings erected in
New York in 1901 was $17,76S. in Chi
