CAT TIE DIE Of
HEAVY WEATHER
Federal Banks Reports
Show Losses; Feed Short;
Prospects Are Gloomy.

That cattle losses from bad weather
were quite heavy throughout the
range country is the statement made
by the Federal Reserve bank at Dali
las. the news coming from its corre-
spondents in various parts OF the
country
Reports from the banks west Tex
as informant stated that losses from
bad weather were less than l percent
Panhandle reports were to the effect
that few losses were experienced, and
these cases were mostly cattle already
in a dying condition, shipped into
pasture from drier sections
Contrasted to these reports are ad-
vices from Roswell, n. NJ, which state
that losses reached as high as 10 per-
cent. and that further losses we're to
be expected unless a good supply Of
cottonseed cake for feeding was
available. Eagle Pass reports TO the
bank were unencOuraging and pic
tured the cattlemen's situation as
very grave, indeed. II is stated by
the bank that cattle prospects for
the coming season we're not OF the
best, unless there is an increase in
seasonal rains.
IN the face Of these discouraging
reports. however. is the annual report
of receipts and shipments at the Fort
Worth stock market A total OF
69,526 cars cars of livestock were re-
ceived at the Fort Worth yards in
1917 as against 47,461 cars in 1916.
Shipments in 1917 aggregated 32.216
cars, compared with 2l,161 cars in
