 Market Letter for the Past Week.
Los Angeles Market Report

Prices for steers, feeders and beef, still show the downward ten dency. Feeders in Southern Cal ifornia refuse to buy steers twos and threes at four cents and state SIS is the only price which will allow them a safe return. A few of the bolder spirits offer four cents for straight Ss and AS steers if they are extra good.
 First class Northern Arizona twoS and threes were offered in Los Angeles and also to Phoenix feeders at four cents without talk CTS to date. Steers 3s up are scarce however.
 Nevada has sold number of thousand head to California feed CTS, HOO lb. steers and up, fall delivery, practically all beef, at 4.25.
 Utah beet feeders offer 3.75 and l cents for ss and 4s, providing grade of cattle is extra good.
 It is stated that many spring de- livery buyers are trying to cover. The larger operators throughout California, Utah, Colorado and Montana have stopped purchasing until the situation clears up some- what. It is rumored there will be 100000 steers delivered from Mexico, in the near future. It re- mains to be seen what the result will be, some we'll informed men predicting cheap cattle and others concede last years prices.

NEW ARIZONA OIL COMPANY
Northern Arizona Oil Company Organ
 ized at ow--Experts Give Glowing Reports

MT. Geo. F. Gardner, who was mainly responsible for financing the Arizona Fire Insurance com pany, came up from Phoenix We'd nesday and is now enthusiastically boosting Northern Arizona oil fields near Winslow. The North ern Arizona Oil company was or ganiZed last month at Winslow and incorporated for ST 1000, ,ooo, which has been divided into one million shares at a par value of one dollar each. The new com pany is made up of the strong men of Phoenix and Northern Ari- zona. The officers are: Presi- dent, E. A. Sawyer; first vice president, w. Olander: second vice president, A. K. Stacey; treasurer, w. H. Burbage; secre- tary and financial agent, George F. Gardner. The directors so far selected are: Harry Asbury, Ma than By, P. T. Plus, P F. La Prade, E. V. Boyd.
 The company has taken over  5000 acres of oil leases of the Salt River Oil company, six miles west of Phoenix, where drilling opera tions will commence next week. Drilling in the oil field near Wins low will commence within the next thirty days.
 The company has oil leases of an estimated value of one million dollars, has invested S25, 1000 in drilling machinery and is ready to commence work, with funds on hand to continue development op- erations tor two years. They have splendid reports from oil experts who claim the oil lands are located in the Rocky Mountain basin, di- rectly on a line between the Cali iornia and Texas oil fields. Drill ing will be continued until they secure oil in gusher quantities, though they have one or two wells from which two or three barrels of oil per day is secured.
 The stock is being sold at ten cents and is taking well on the market. Mir. Gardner is stalking his reputation on making the new company success, and with the list of men behind it there is little doubt he will deliver the goods. If oil in quantity can be found it will be big boost for Arizona.

MT. R. A. Evans, of the firm of Reid, Evans & Co.,, cattlemen, with range in the vicinity of Ash Fork, passed through Flagstaff last week with a carload of regis tered bulls purchased in Kansas to be placed on their range. The bulls were the best that could be bought. The Reid, Evans X Co. outfit are making an earnest effort to improve the stock on the range. believing 1t is profitable invest ment. Many stockmen of North ern Arizona are awakening to the fact that better bred animals are necessary and it is to be hoped that a wholesome interest will be taken in the subject by individual stockmen as we'll as the Cattle Growers Association.
 Recent cattle shipments from this section in the past few days were: 500 range steers from Kirk land to Salt River valley, pur- chased by Wayne Ritter from Dan  Condron and James Carter: about 1000 head from Skull valley and Hillside to California. DIM. Francis is shipping trains of his sheep from the Hillside section to eastern markets. The sheep are shipped by way of Prescott and will figure up about 5000 head. - Prescott Courier.
 Carlos Castillo is one of the prosperous sheepmen in the Can yon Diablo country. He came in Monday, having finished lambing
 
 and reports that he had an in- crease of or per cent, which IS considered the top knotch for that section. The recent heavy winds have dried up the range a great deal and rain is badly needed.
 
 The Los Angeles Livestock Commission Co. reports that ship ments of dressed beef from east ern packers to the coast, has ma terially affected the coast market and broken the market from 5 to 50 cents a hundred to the bad. Unless there is a change in con- ditions beef will go lower than last years prices.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
CBy J. A. RlCkurt, Correspondent

I5.-Cattle receipts here last week were little larger than the pre- vious week, but were still moder- ate, and less than the correspond ing week a year ago. The market advanced 10 to IS cents for the week, to which might be added TO cents more, account of the very good fills secured all week. The rise in price and the general ac- ton of the market were accepta- ble to shippers, and had the effect of shutting off many of the steers that were being sent in prema- turely. Whatever hopes arose in the breasts of cattle feeders last week received some discourage ment today, run nearly o,ooo here, and heavy at Chicago, mark ct steady to 10 lower, worst on heavy steers. The backset today is noI regarded seriously, and a general uplift in prices is antici- pated in the next few weeks. Packers anticipate this, as they have already served notice of an advance in wholesale price of meats, effective in the near tu- ture. The best price paid for heavy steers last week was S6.I yearlings made S6.I5, and heiters S6.o5. Heavy steers reached S5.o5 today, bulk of steers selling at S. 50 to 5.eo, cows S4 to 5.25, heifers SAYS to GOO, bulls S4 to 5.25, calves S4. so to 6.75, stock CTS and feeders firmly held, at S5.25 to 5.75 for most sales. Re- ceipts from Colorado have been very light, tops in the last week at S5.S5. A tair run of quaran- tines arrived today, ted steers up to S5.7o today, grass steers s4 to SAYS.
 The hog market gained about Is cents last week, and closed at  the highest point of the week. Local receipts were about as heavy as in recent weeks, 78,ooo head, but outside points fell down lit tie in supplies, and the feeling prevails that we are on the eve of smaller runs at all points. This feeling, together with an actual reduction in the supply at Chi cago and one or two other points, and heavy exports of the product last week, are causes for the ac- tive buying of the packers, and their willingness to advance the price. The same greedy manner characterized their buying today, run here LOGO, market strong to ; higher, bulk of S6.Io to 6.I5, top 6.2o.
 Sheep and lambs also had good week, and closed Friday about quarter higher for the week, nothing here Saturday. The run today is 1000 head, made up Arizonas and Colorados mostly, a few natives, no Texans. Texas shippers had about decided against shipping much to market this season, because of the low prices, but the advances recently may cause them to revise their decision. The market is strong to TO higher today, clipped lambs at S5.5o, spring lambs worth S6.35, clipped Arizona yearlings S4.6o, clipped ewes worth up to S4.25, goats Ss to $50.
