Mexican Cattle in Demand

A Douglas dispatch says that several days have been spent at the American custom house by the cattle inspector and the men who classed the big shipment of nearly eighteen hundred head of cattle that were passed from the Mexican side to the American.
 Six hundred cattle were for Tate and Bates and Fife, four hundred for Curtis and Dowdle; ninety for the Palace market, and another bunch of fifteen was passed.
 Hundreds of cattle are brought out every week from Mexico for the American markets. The cattle are in fair condition, and are put on pasture, and in short time are in good order.

Wool Market Looks Good

Wool market conditions in Boston are very encouraging and western growers should have a good year, according to James Wilkinson, president of the Albu- querque Wool Securing Mills, who has returned from a visit of several weeks in the Hub City, studying the wool situation.
 Speaking of the situation in Boston in secured wool, MT. Wilkinson said that it can be said that there is but very little secured wool on the market, all the big lots having been sold in January and February.
 "The market indications in Boston are that there will be a good, steady demand for territory wools and that prices will be sat isfactory," said MT. Wilkinson today. T don't believe there will be any twenty cent wool, but con- sidering the tariff tinkering and conditions in general, the prices will he very favorah hle to the prow- CTS. 1 look for a very successful year for the wool men,"
 The Albuquerque securing mills will begin to run day and night on May 10th. Odd lots of wool are being secured now, but the plant is not running full capacity as will be the case soon.-Albuquer- que Herald.

Important Cattle Deal

The following dispatch from Prescott is self-explanatory: One of the most important land and cattle deals consumated in this county in several months was closed yesterday when the inter- ests of the Burnt Ranch Land and Cattle company lying west of Granite mountain was purchased by George A. Carter and Joseph H. Stephens. The consideration it was reported runs to over $3o,- 900. Embraced in the holdings of the selling company was the old Draper ranch, patented, and two other we'll improved farming tracts also patented. Several hundred head of cattle with the extensive range rights and pos sessory locations, are also in- cluded.
 H. C. Cavness, secretary of the selling company, concluded the deal. The sale is a noteworthy one, for the consolidation of range and livestock interests that will be effected. It gives to Messrs. Carter and Stephens a domain that is practically twenty by forty miles in extent, and with their other interests, is considered one of the most desirable pieces of property in that industry in the state.

Kansas City Market Letter
cBy J. A. Rickart, Correspondent

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 22, 1912. "A more liberal run of cattle came in last week than in recent weeks, and though the supply was five thousand head less than arrivals same week last year, the market broke 20 to 40 cents, proving that the basis of the high range of prices is formed of the shortage in the supply. Killers will buy only in hand to mouth way when prices are as high as they are now. Top steers last week sold at 8.55, against a top of 6,5o year ago same week, for cattle just as good. The run today was estimated at eight thousand head, but the final count exceeded ten thousand. The first estimate might have sold steady, but the situation became murky as the returns of arrivals came Tn and by the time the majority of two thpusand over the estimate was announced, killing grades had settled to a ton lower basis. Dennis O'Connor, Plattsb burg, Mo-, sold a load of 1872 pound steers at the top today, $40, and load of lighter steers at 8.3o, Chicago prices in each case. stock and feeding grades made up larger percentage of the supply today than usual, and decline of 10 to 25 cents awaited them. Kill lers are no longer willing to buy anything that will bleed," and the withdrawal of their competi- ton on thin cattle permitted the break to be more pronounced. Quarantine steers sold up to 7.7o today, and a train of hay fed westerns sold at prices up to TAO and some sugar mill steers at TAO. Optimism prevails in view ing future probabilities of prices, as slim supplies a couple of months ahead seem to be cer- tainty.
 The hog market keeps running up and down a short course inn mediately in front of the eight dollar grand stand, for top hogs. The run today here is 5000 head, market called big ten lower at the start, mainly for the reason that Chicago had sixty two thous- and hogs, too many by twenty thousand head tor the market to hold steady there. Conditions improving during the session to- day, and the market started back up the course again before the close. Top hogs brought 7.8o today, bulk of sales having an unusually wide range, because of the large number of law grade light hogs included, 7.3o to 77a.
 Sheep and lambs gained quarter last week, and the market is higher today. Failing receipts are the main reasou for the ad- vances, less than thirty thousand being on sale here last week, and but nine thousand today. Fore cast for the balance of the week point to fair run of Texas, of which there are none here today, and small run of Colorados, of which the run is almost entirely made up today. That is a provi- dential situation for sellers. Colo rado lambs sold up to SIS today, number of bands at S.Io, medium lambs around 7.75, weathers 6.4o, ewes worth Goo for wooded stock in each case, clipped stock 75 cents to dollar under these figures. Texas muttons would sell today at $40 to 5.oo, goats | 2 z fo -E
