Heavy Livestock Shipments.

Not far from half a million head of
cattle passed through ST. Paul last
year on the way to the Chicago stock
yards. This does o include the
stock killed at the South St. Paul
yards, says the Pioneer Press.
The record kept by one of the rail.
roads shows that approximately 4 1000
cattle cars were shipped through St.
Paul to Chicago from January l, 1905,
to December Is, 1876. A few cars
passed through after December Is,
but the movement had practically
closed down for q time. 1t Is figured
that q head find room in q car, which
makes the total 448,O00 cattle. The
total movement through St. Paul to
Chicago during 1904 was about 10000
cars. While the past years record ia
q good ~ and has not been surpassed
of late years, II is not the best record
made in St. Paul. The movemen,
reached a high.water mark In 1895.
The movement of sheep from the
west through St. Paul also was unusu-
ally heavy last year.
