ARIZONA CATTLE
MOVEMENT LESS
THAN LAST YEAR

DENVER, April II (R.-The spring
movement of cattle from the southwest
is estimated at about 8 per cent less
than last spring and "a per cent below
the 1925 spring movement, according to
report of the United States division
of crop and livestock estimates. The
report places the 1927 spring move
ment from Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona points outside of the states at
531, 600 head, compared with $4,000 in
1926; $1,000 in 1925; $50, 900 in 1924,
and $4,000 in 1928.
New Mexico-The spring movements
of cattle from New Mexico is estimated
at 10000, or Z per cent less than $4,000
orally good with few dry spots, but
there is a large supply of cheep feed.
Last years New Mexico cattle ship
ments were heavy and the. depleted
number of cattle with good feed con-
ditions, it seems that there will be a
short supply of cattle to move. Cattle
are in good condition.
Arizona-The cattle movement from
Arizona this spring will be much
lighter than the past two years, esti-
mated at $4,000, compared with $4,000
in 1926 and the same number in 1925;
$4,000 in 1924, and 10000 in 1928
Feed conditions are very good and
the heavy movements of the past two
years have cut the available supply of
cattle. The spring shipments last
spring consisted of 81 per cent steers,
35 per cent cows, heifers and bulls and
4 per cent calves, compared with Y
per cent steers, 21 per cent cows,
heifers and bulls, and Z per cent calves
in 1924.

JAPANESE DECIDE

TOKYO, June 30.-Even the red.
dest Rollys Royce, with gilt in as
many places as possible, lacks the
regal dignity Of red and gold
coach drawn by four prancing
horses, in the opinion of the leading
experts il Japan On dignity and
what constitutes pomp. Consequent
ly, the imperial coach and four,
which disappeared from use some
years ago in Japan, is to be re-
stored.
Twenty five imperial carriages
have just been completed for the
use Of the japanese court for form
al occasions. The first ones seen
since the great earthquake rolled
i. through the streets Of this capital
when the young Emperor appeared
in person to open the special session
OF the diet.
With q glittering escort of red
and gold laneers, mounted on black
chargers and with remnants whip
ping from their lance tips, the i'm
perial coaches gave the intended i'm
preston of power and majesty, an
impression which no automobile has
yet achieved, while the slower pro-
gress of the coaches through the
streets enabled the gathered people
to obtain a better view of their
Young ruler than the motor he uses
on less formal occasions can.
