YEAR AS SEEN BY BRADsTREET

Perlod OF Heavily Increased Purchas-
ing Power. @
The year just ending has been one
of almost boundless activity, accord
ing to Bradstreet's. It was period
OF rich rewards to agriculture, though
not of uniformly record yields; Of
abundance Of employment for labor
and Of few serious strikes; Of build
ing and constructive activity in all
lines; of enormously enlarged bank
clearings totals. and Of striking small
failure damage considering the i'm
mense business done and the unpre-
cedented number engaged therein.
That it was, on the whole, year
OF heavily increased public purchas-
ing power seems certain, in view Of
the fact that commodity prices were
maintained at record high levels.
Continuing the report states:
"The multitude of records broken
shows that new guideposts have, in
deed been set up. The revival which
began in the last half of 1904, far
from spending its force, as was pre-
dicted in the early part of 1905, grew
as the year advanced The CONNER
cial, financial and Industrial move
ment surged forward, weather draw.
backs and disclosures Of financial rot
tenness in high places failing to stem
the upward trend. Disregard of pre-
cedents was. perhaps, best illustrated
in the persistent advance Of securi-
ties despite high money prices, and
the tendency to discount prosperity
was irresistible"
Speaking Of conditions in the lat
ter part Of the year 1t is stated:
I'm September car shortages began
to affect traffic and collections, clear
ings reached new high figures, while
failures and liabilities for nine months
were below 1904. Lifting Of southern
guarantees gave zest to southern
trade, which was further helped by
high cotton quotations when the
movement was heaviest. In the last
quarter open weather favored out
door activity, but retarded retail
trade, which was also hampered by
farmers holding grain and cotton and
the car congestion, which likewise de.
layed collections. Stock speculation,
though lacking marked public partici-
patton and displaying manipulative in
fiuences, was Of large volume at rec.
ord prices, despite high money, in
fiuenced by active trade and dis
turbed foreign markets. Iron and
steel outputs advanced; ore sales,
clearings and staple prices all scored
high levels in December"
OF the outlook for the new year the
report says: Va
IF satisfaction with the past and
confidence in the future are at all re.
liable guides, 1906 is likely to equal,
if indeed It does not surpass, the year
drawing to close. The volume Of
orders booked ahead exceeds any pre-
vious year in the country's history,
and high prices as yet seem to exer-
else no effect upon consumptive de-
mand. Iron and steel Of all kinds are
heavily sold ahead, as are also shoes,
cotton and wooden goods, lumber,
hardware and myriad Of other prod
ucts. Wheat enters the winter in ex-
cellent condition and with an en-
larged area. Predictions as to 1906
building are even more sanguine than
a year ago."

Packers May Quit Business in Texas

The Chicago Chronicle says:
The prosecution of the suit against
the Armour and Swift interests in
Texas for the purposes of securing
S12, 900, 900 penalty for alleged viola
tion of the antitrust laws may result
in closing all the packing plants in
Texas and the withdrawal of the Chi
cago packing concerns from that
state.
This was the announcement made
by the officials of the Swift and
Armour companies in discussing the
effect of the suits brought against
them yesterday by the attorney gen.
eral of Texas.
The officials declared that the
packing business in Texas was just
being put on a proper business basis
and was still in the experimental
stage. They declared the question
of withdrawal from Texas had before
been discussed several times and if
the suits were pushed it will be fol-
lowed by the execution of such plans
which had been under contemplation.
The withdrawal would mean the loss
of work to 5000 employees and the re-
moval of an investment of $1,000, 600.

Arizona Cattle Growers Association

The following circular letter ha:
been sent out by G. L. Coffee of Fort
Thomas, to the Cattlemen of Ari
IONA.
The Arizona Cattle Growers AS
sociation was organized and is
conducted solely by the stockmer
of this Territory, for the purpose
OF affording protection to the cattle
and horse industry.
1t is undoubtedly the intent OF
the administration at Washington
to lease, in some manner, the public
domain for grazing purposes, and
very soon, as there are two bills
before congress at the present time
for that purpose. This Association
has already had conference with
Messrs. Pinchott and Potter in re-
gard to the leasing. Also it had
a repres entative at the American
National Live Stock Association, for
the purpose of discussing this meas
ure. 1t is one that every cattle
and horse raiser is interested in.
If we make a mistake now it will
take years to rectify it, and drive
many, if not all, out of business.
So we ask each and every one of
you to join this Association and see
what we are doing and help us with
your advice and experience.
The stock growers organization
has grown very rapidly in the past
year and has accomplished a great
deal of good for the stockmen of
this Territory.
The cattle growers have made
very able and effective stand against
Joint statehood; also against high
rate of taxes on forest reserves, and
are at present making it very un-,
pleasant tor the cattle rustlers, who
in the past, have been quite pest
to the western stockmen.
This organization is feeling its
way into much larger concerns; that
is much stronger against the success
of the stockmen than any previously
mentioned.
There are two national questions
of great Importance. which I will
take time to mention, and each
vitally concerns, not only the live
stock industry in general, but the
prosperity of all; the varied indus
tries of this country and the welfare
of every citizen of this republic.
One is our international trade rela-
tions, the other is the regulation of
interstate railroad rates, and each
of these questions is being considered
as speedily as possible by The
American National Live Stock As
sociation, one of the strongest bodies
of just workers in existence.
There being so many things of
vital Importance which the stockmen
must take into their hands of con-
we encourage each and
every stockman of this Territory
to do his duty and become a member
of this organization.
