THE Denver MARKETS

DENVER, COLORADO, July "a
Receipts of cattle here this morning
were II loads, of which seven were
Southern stockers billed through, and
the balance natives for the market. Tho
average quality was fair, but there was
| nothing choice on hand and the mark
ct was little quiet. There was boz
ter tone to the trade than yesterday
and some sales of cows looked quite
little higher though the general market
could hardly be quoted better than
firm. The trade has been uneven this
wook and the tendency Of prices gen
orally downward. The market is off
25 to SOC from ten days or two weeks
ago and some statesmen thought this
would not cover the drop on cows.
Eastern markets had fair supply this
morning and the trade was reported
steady.
Beef Cattle-The beef steer demand
today was fair, but not heavy, and the
market continues little quiet. A few
good steers sold up to $4.75, with most
of the fair kind offered at $500 ana
$40 and the plain rougher kinds dawn
to $3.50. Cows sold up to 1925 for
some fair Idahos, with the better
grades ranging from this down to g
and the palmer cows down to %. Old
Shelly cows are selling down as low
as $1.25. There is good demand for
good bulls and veal calves and they
have held up well during the week,
hulk of the bulls going at $500 and
$3.50 and veals around t4.5O and $3.50.
Feeders and Stockers-The feeder
and stocker trade continues light and
hardly enough business done in this
division this week to afford a line on
values. There is fair inquiry for the
good feeding steers and also for good
stock steers, but this class of stuff is
very scarce at present. Common steers
of all kinds are moving slow and the
tendency of values is lower. Even the
good kinds are weak to little lower
owing to dullness in the beef cattle

Reports which have come to me front
all over the country show that enor-
nous crops are assured in all the fruit
growing districts. The fact of the mat
ter is, however, that California really
has big crop but in few weeks that
state will be through shipping their
fruit. Georgia and Texas are shipping
and this will cease in about fifteen
days.
1t develops that Missouri, Arkansas.
Illinois and several other middle states
have no peaches or apples.
With this the case the only competi--
tors that Colorado apples and peaches;
will have in the markets are the pro-
ducts of Michigan, New Jersey and
Delaware which states have good crops.
"When Colorado and Utah ships its:
fruit there will be no other section
in the nation shipping in the same
style of package as the west and the
peaches of the other states are not.
suitable for reshipping.
"The Colorado fruit has been rec
ognized as the best in the country for
several years. 1t possesses the quality
flavor and color as well as the stand
ing-up ability that no other product
can claim.
"To prove this wish to say that
when the Georgia and Texas peaches
arrive in Chicago they are sold on
the docks at l O'Clock in the morning
so that they can be disposed of the
same day. The Colorado fruit ar
rives in the night and it is good for
4s hours easy or for reshipping. And
that is why Colorado's fruit brings
the highest prices and is in demand
over the product of any other state in
the union.

CONTINUED from first pass.)

Land values have not decreased at
any place on the Western Slope and
in those sections which have fruit the
increase in land prices will average
from 25 to so per cent. Orchards that
have sold in and around Palisade for
$4,000 an acre, and considered high at
that figure, no doubt will bring 1880
to $1,000 an acre between now and
next spring.
