Nearly 100000 More Raised on Colo
RADIO Government Land Than
Ever Before.
Denver.-Almost 100000 more head
OF cattle were raised on the forest
ranges of the government in Colorado
during the last season than in 1915.
according to figures submitted by the
Denver branch Of the bureau. The
season has been unusual, according to
the grazing department Of the bureau.
but the cattle furnished to the market
from the forest ranges have been
shipped direct to the killer and have
not required feed lot finishing.
Permits have been issued during
the season for almost 1,125.000 head
to Craze on the forest reserves. Nine
hundred and two thousand, one hun
dred and forty.six sheep had permits.
and 979 goats. The increase during
the grazing season probably brought
the number up to more than 100000
sheep turned over to owners at the
Put Ban on Eastern Cattle and hogs.
Cattle were second to sheep. per-
mits being approved for 317.80l head
OF cattle, and 10.lS9 head of horses.
Many Of the range horses were
broken at once and put into the mar
ket for service in the European war.
This is the first year in the history
of the forest records that Colorado
forests were stocked to their full Ca
pacity and officials say that permits
were refused for approximately $4,000
cattle and 2l5.OO0 sheep. The figures
mean two things to the forestry off,
cials-that Colorado stock raisers are
coming to realize the full worth Of
the forest ranges and that this real
ization is going to put Colorado in
more important place in the stock
raising industry.

POOR RESPONSE IN COTTON
TO ADVANCE AT LIVERPOOL
English Spinners Uneasy on Belief
Insurance Rates Will Rise

NEW YORK, May 4-The cotton mar
ket this morning made poor response to
a sharp advance in Liverpool which was
offset partly by more favorable weather
in the South. A private cable from Liv-
erpool stated that English spinncrs were
becoming more uneasy because of fear
that freight and insurance rates soon
would be further advanced. II was be-
lieved here that this indicated belief on
the other side that n German raider has
again found 1t possible to leave it's base
and is now somewhere on the Atlantic. and
in view of this the advance in the Eng
lish market was given less attention than
otherwise.
the start and the tone was steady. There
was some covering Of shorts and spot
house buying, and Liverpool was again a
purchaser, taking July and December
With the exception of some supply from
Wall street, the selling was scattered.
In Liverpool the market was firm with
only small offerings and at the time of the
opening here, advances Of to points
were recorded, whereas prices were due to
come l Il to 3h points lower
Weather conditions were ideal for the
crop IN the East, where needed precipita-
tion was reported while improvement was
reported from the West. Temperatures
generally were higher.
The receipts of cotton at the ports for
the day were estimated at $4,000 bales,
compared with 17,O12 bales last week, 49,
416 bales last year and 6707 bales in 1914.
