The Territory Movement.
Stockman-Journal.


w. ii. Weeks. live stock agent
of the Frisco, said today that the
Frisco ia handling large ship
ments of fat cattle going to the
st, Louis market from the Indian
Territory country.
On Monday there were nearly
300 cars of fat stuff on the St.
LOUIS market from the Indian
Territory.
Mr.. Weeks says that at the
present time there is very light
movement from Texas to north
ern markets from the fact that
cattle are not in the best of condi-
ton, due, he says, to the dry
ranges and a pest of flies, which
keep cattle on the move, thus
keeping them from fattening. lie
believes. however. that by next
November there will be good
movement of fat cattle to market
from Texas. Usually in Septem-
Der and October cattle move to
market from this state, but the

The Wool Trade.

American Wool and Cotton Reporter.
A very large volume of business
has been quietly accomplished in
the wool market the past week,
nearly all of which has been done
10y three houses in the trade. One
house is credited with having sold
over three million pounds of
tleeces, in addition to some large
lines If territories and several
hundred bales of Australian. Out
wardly the market is quiet, but
under the surface there is great
deal going on, and at this writing
negotiations are pending on other
lines which very likely may result
in the accomplishment of further
business of good size. The prices
at which these woods were bought
reveal the strength of the stua-
ton and the confidence of all
concerned in the future. The
woods bought are for the actual
needs of consumers as guaged by
the orders which have thus far
been taken on goods, none of the
purchases being for speculation.
The receipts of wool IN Boston
This week amounted to b3, 003
bales, against 90, l0l bales last
week and 2S.49S bales last year.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 1875, 900 pounds of
domestic and $4,000 pounds of
foreign, making total of 1920.
600 pounds, against a total of 4,
G45,000 pounds for the previous
week and n total of 11,055, 900 fol

situation this year is somewhat
different and it will be at least
three months before many cattle
will be shipped from Texas.
Mr.. Weeks believes that the
San Angelo country will have a
heavy movement in the course of
two or three months.

Louis market are being rushed
through in order to avoid the
operation of the twenty-eight

EVERYBODY DELIGHTED!
San Angelo Citizens Highly Pleased
with Prospects and Plans for
Carnival in November.

One man may object to the
date, another to the fact that the
show will be held on the streets
of San Angelo, another for anoth-
er reason, etc. ETC., but the major
portion of San Angeles progress.
sive population is highly pleased
with both plans and prospects
for the fall carnival of 1905.
The merchants like the idea of
a carnival on the streets, in fact,
very few of them care to have the
carnival at all if 1T is to be held
in the country. Some of the OBJ.
jections to the dates set are that
the weather will likely be bad, it
is too late in the fall, etc. To the
first of these let it be answered
that the weather in West Texas is
better on an average in Novem-
Der than IN October. If the car
nival were held two miles in the
country the chances of a cold
snap would likely prevent some
peoples attendance. AS it is even
during q rainy week in February
the streets of San Angelo were
crowded at a little street fair,
People will come down town to
see the shows in almost any reas-
enable sort of weather. The only
thing calculated to be of injury
to the enterprise is the dust and
it is intended by the manage
ment to have the streets sprinkled
regularly during the carnival.
There are those who will knock.
1t could not be otherwise. The
knockers are always with US and
we'll have to pass by their beau
tiful axioms, whenever knock
er makes q statement it has
passed the court of final resort)
We are going to have the carni-
val. Charlie Metcalfe is going
to make it success. He always
does of things he undertakes,
Efforts are being made now to-
ward getting one of the larger
carnival companies here for this
occasion. The plans of the asso-
citation provide for stock, farm
and poultry exhibits. These
shows will charge no admission.
There may be a flower show, a
baby show and perhaps other at
fractions of like local nature.
The affair will be the best thing
for San Angelo yet had and the
knockers will be put out of bust
ness. Whoop up the carnival
