ton Reversed.

responding period OF 1901 Texas alone
more than accounted for this gain, sending

month than she did in August, 1901. He-
total contributions for the month amounted

and the Southwest held back stock on ac-
count Of the rulnous prices that resulted
from the heavy runs OF Missouri. Kansas

tlon Is reversed and the plains are now
pouring stock upon the market while the
farming sections In the territory contigu-
Gus 20 this market are recuperating from
the losses Of 1901. This may be shown by
Aissouris cattle contributions last month
