HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW.

Houston, Texas, May 24.-Cotton.
both futures and spots, easily have
held the center of the market spot
light during the week. This was due
much to the spectacular trading in
the New Orleans exchange by Frank
B. Hayne, the cotton bull leader, whose
bidding forced futures to higher levels.
The continued bull support from New
Orleans had a tendency to demoralize
form quotations, for news reports OF
prospects for arin in the belt which
weakened new crop positions some
what, were offset by the continued bull
ish tendency from the South. On the
strengthening market July made a
high record in New York, selling at
1906, while all the other old crops
made new high records for the season.
In all during the week strength was
found in steady cables, renewal of bull
support and continued buying by
shorts, while the sensational gains
came on the news of the activity of
the bull leader, Frank B. Hayne, at
New Orleans.
Very encouraging reports have been
received in Houston from over South
Texas concerning the slight effect of
the recent heavy rains. When the
heavy rainfall continued undated seed
dealers prepared for a rush for seeds
for replanting This rush failed to
materialize. Very little seed has been
washed. Corn practically is unhurt
and very little new cottonseed was

WEEDS NOT YET CUT.

a number of places where the weeds
have not yet been cut. These patches
of weeds are not only unsightly, but
are breeding places for pestilence. II

the appearance but also to the health

EGYPTIAN COTTON.

Government reports and statistics
iare again dealing with the subject OF
Egyptian cotton, which is imported to
this country to a much greater extent
than most people would guess, as the
following article shows:
That the requirements of the cot
ton goods industry necessitate the i'm
portation of approximately 60,0OO,000
pounds of Egyptian cotton, costing
S16,000,OO0, is probably unknown to the
majority of those who read of the enor.
nous crops of cotton produced in the
Southern states and learn that during
the last seven months all records have
been broken and practically $500,000.
900 worth of that staple has been eX-
ported But it was the considerable
value of this import that induced the
United States department of agricul-
ture several years ago to endeavor to
develop Egyptian cotton culture in the
United States in order to supply our
own market with homegrown prod.
uct Although experiments were made
at different points from South Carolina
to Texas, as well as in western Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona and southern
California, it was only in the Colorado
river region that climatic and other
conditions similar to those in the Nile
valley and suited to the long staple
Egyptian cotton were found. There
100000 acres of excellent land are, Or
soon will be, under ditch in the I'M
perial, Yuma, Salt and ella valleys,
and one-fifth of this acreage could
produce the amount of Egyptian cotton
annually imported for the use of New
England mills. Hindu is the name APP

of cotton with a short, weak fiber that

KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK.

Kansas City Stock Yards, May o.
Cattle receipts shortened up last week
after Tuesday, and the market re
gained the loss of the first two days
| by the end of the week An incipient
scare about the possible effect of dry
weather on pastures was noticed late
last week in market circles, but the
general rains that have fallen in the
last two days have effectualy squelch-
ed it. A few stock cattle are here to
day that were STARED to market from
some dry spot but the 5000 cattle re-
ceived here are chiefly made up of a
normal movement. A feature this
month has been the light supply from
below the quarantine line, and this is
responsible for the decrease OF around
10000 cattle here so far this month as
compared with same period last May
Another thing about which the wise
ones have been figuring for some time
is the fact that total cattle receipts at
the five leading markets of the coun-
try so far this year show a shortage
of 6 per cent from thea Verase receipts
at the same points for thea verase
for the past FIVE years, while the pop
ulation of the country has increased
IL per cent in the same period. An
other thing, exports of cattle are in
creasing; 1900 head went out of the
country in April, 1900 head same
month last year Exporters can OPP
crate when beef gets under $500. Ac-
cording to all logic, cattle prices
should be on the up grade, and so
they are today, steady to strong. Top
steers bring around $615, bulk $1,000
$50; COWS $375@5.15, heifers $4.75@
900; bulls dull $4OO05.O0, calves
$5.OO07OO Colorado sugar beet steers
today $54O05S5, quarantine fed
steers $3.50, caked steers $4.75@5.25,
grassers $4.50@5.OO, stock and feeding
cattle firm today at $5.OO@5.75.
Hogs did very well first half of last
week, but met some reverses the last
half. The run today is 1000; mar
ket started out at its worst, but fin
ished a little better than the start,
501Oc lower than Saturday, top $685.,
bulk $5.SO65.90. Packers are anxious
to take the hogs at present prices. and
seem able 10 dispose Of their pur-
chases readily, The recent Cudahy
prediction that the &c hog would APP
pear within two months is not taken
seriously. On the contrary, it is be-
lieved that receipts will have to be
extraordinary this summer and fall to
force prices lower than $3.50. Lard
exports are three times as heavy as a
year ago and the foot and mouth dis
ease has caused the government
slaughter of lot of hogs in Germany
this spring, pointing to good outlet |
there for the product later on.
Sheep have advanced SOC in the last |
week, goats likewise and lambs have |
jumped up $100 in that time. A good |
share Of this rise came today, and the
market is popping. Wooled lambs
brought $500 today, spring lambs
s6.75, clipped lambs worth $3.50,
clipped wethers $500 ewes $3.50. fat
goats today $500, brushers $3.50. The
