Trade, crop and industrial reports
nre still very irregular, but the UNDER

eating a short crop; that buying is still
hampered in some sections by unfavor-
able weather or by the reduced pur-
chasing power of the public, and eau
ton and conservatism still govern COM
mercial operations to a large degree.
Easter trade at retail is classed as
fair to good in most parts Of the West.
fair at the East. but below expectations
at the South, and rather poor in Texas,
where drought conditions hold back
buying demand. Some slight expansion
is noted in filling in orders by jObbers.
but trade in this line is distinctively Of

confidence in buying for fall.

The first horses OF the western plains,
probably were brought there by the
Spaniards. In 1910. more than iftv
years before jamestown was settled,
Coronado, the Spanish captain. was
roaming about the plains OF New
Mexico, and he tells Of the dogs used
by the Indians to haul their plumber
O II lodge poles, Indicating that they had
no horses at hat date, says the st.
Louis post-Dispatch.
In 1716 the Spanish again worked
their way eastward across the plains
and their letters tell Of the astouish
ment of the Indians at seeing the
horses they had with them. The ex
petition was constantly losing horses
and there is little doubt that the first
droves of western horses originated
from these strays.
In the early days upon the plains
they were as great a pest to travellers
as they are to-day. Woe be unto the
luckiess camper who allowed a band
of wild horses to get close enough to
his gentle horses, turned out for the
night, to sweep them off. 1t was al
most useless to follow, for the call of
