the prospects for mammoth fruit
crop are better than in any former
year. OF course we are not yet be
yond the danger from frosts but grow
ers are carefully watching the weather

"smudge" if it seems necessary and il

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, April
80. Receipts were light here last
week and market quiet. Demand
was good and trade little more active
than preceding week but little change
in values Eastern markets closed
little higher but prices advanced
here the week before while they de-
clined at other points and cattle are
still selling as we'll here as anywhere.
Beef steers sold largely at e. % to
"a. 80, some choice Nebraska corn feds
bringing the latter price. Top cows
brought $4.15 with others at 81. 10
and bulk of better killing grades at
~. 90 to 81. 90. Bulls are about a
quarter lower with veals fully steady.
Feeder and stocker supply was light.
Demand was very good for good steers.
Choice light stockers have best call but
good heavy feeders also sell well
Stock cows are in excellent demand
and closed considerably higher. Few
stock cows coming. Market today
about steady here but lower east was
heavy. The season for moving south
ern cattle to northern pastures is now
at hand. While the movement is not
expected to be as heavy this year as
last, indications are that more trad
ing will be done on the market Ar
rangements have been perfected where
by large numbers of southern steers
and heifers will be sent to Denver for
sale and many stockman have signi-
fed their intention of buying their
grazing cattle here this year. More
and more of this southern business is
being done at these yards yearly as
both buyer and seller realizes that
this is the best point to get together
on account of its central location and
the excellent facilities here for hand
ling the cattle. There is general
feeling that better conditions will pre-
vail in the cattle business during the
next few years on account of the short
supply both in feed lot and on the
range and it would seem that now is
the time for Colorado stockmen to
put in grazing cattle.

SATURDAY. MAY 5. 1906.

THE INTEREST aroused by the
good roads convention held in Glen
wood last fall has not entirely abated
and there are those who believe the
county commissioners should and will
take up the matter of better roads for
Garfield county and that plan will
be evolved which will make Gar
field the banner county of the state
for good roads There is no reason
why this should not be done We
have road material in abundance and
Of excellent quality and the time is
very near at hand when we must adopt
some plan by which we can utilize
this material to the advantage of our
people by giving them the best of
roads all over the county The plan
has not been definitely evolved but
there are ambitious men in Garfield
county who are determined that the
matter of good roads shall not be neg
lected much longer. The Post, al
ways awake to every movement for
the benefit of the entire people, will
keep its readers posted con cernlng
such steps as are taken in this line.
