SHEEP AND CATTLE
CONDITION LOWEST
IN LAST five YEARS
Unfavorabls February Weather
Takes Toll, Says FEEDER.
al Statistician

Cattle and sheep condition In North
Dakota is the lowest 1t has been In
tho last five years due to unfavorable
February weather and feed shortages,
according to the March range and
livestock report issued Wednesday by
the federal statistician's office at
Fargo.
Temperature was 81 degrees above
the daily normal. This is misleading
as the excessively high temperatures
which prevailed during the last few
days Of the month caused the low
temperatures Of the first three weeks
to be more than offset.
Wind velocities were reported as
having an average hour velocity Of
81 miles. Precipitation was 90 inch
below the normal of IS inch.
Hay and feed supplies are getting
short In the state as "a per cent Of
the reporters state they are short on
forage and 70 per cent are short on
concentrates.
Death losses are believed to be in.
creasing among the cows. according
to estimates of 80 per cent Of the re-
porters. while 50 per cent believe loss
es are increasing in breeding ewes.
Soil moisture conditions have inn
proved somewhat. In some commun-
tiles 1t is difficult for the stockmen
to secure the necessary finances with
which to purchase feed and forage.
Ranges
North Dakota ranges are open for
grazing except for few drifted spots
The range condition figure remains
the same as a month ago or 50 per
cent of normal as compared with 70
per cent year ago and TAO the five
year average.
Cattle and Calves
Cattle condition fell off sharply
during the month as the condition
figure is now IS per cent of normal
as compared with 81 month ago, 86
a year ago and 1874 the five.year av-
erage.
Sheep and Lambs
The condition Of North Dakota
sheep also shows sharp decline dur
ing the month. Although sheep are
thin In the western part of the state,
their physical condition seems to be
good. No heavy losses have been sus-
tanned thus far.
Condition Of sheep Is 70 per cent Of
normal as compared with 50 a month
ago, IS year ago and 84.8 the five
year average. In the western range
states q condition Of 70 per cent of
normal is reported compared with 80
a month ago, 81 per cent a year ago
and 001 the five-year average.

David Henderson Houston
Created Device Which Made
Eastman Famous

Fargo, N. D., March l6.-(P)-1t was
George Eastman whose name became
synonymous with Kodak" but it was
David Henderson Houston Of Hunter,
In Cass county. North Dakota. whose
genius made the kodak what it Is and
gave Eastman the product upon
which the camera makers fortune
was largely built.
Houston has been dead these many
years but Fargo residents, at news Of
Eastman's suicide. recalled stories
they had heard about the Cas- coun-
ty farmer, whose imagination was too
active to confine itself entirely to
crops and stock.

but the camera king had been no
laggard In energy himself, starting
as a poor youth and amass!ng the
first capital for his business BY frugal
saving.
Houston's share in the profits Of the
kodak, however. did not stop, as have
so many inventors with the first sale
Of his product. In 1894, he had is
sued two new patents.
The basic principles Of these later
patents also were incorporated in a
more modern kodak camera, and up
on them Houston received royalties
for many years. Later In life he de-
voted more and more Of his time to
experiments In the field Of photog-

Unsteady Market
Recent Recovery Held an
Greater Variety of Issues
Are Traded.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WALL STREET, New York, July IS
Deliberately but impressively. today's
stock market extended its advance into
new high territory on this recovery.
Realizing was well absorbed and activ-
ity was always greater when the stocks
were rising than when they were re-
acting.
The oils were leaders throughout the
DAY. but all grades CT stocks improved
more or less. Just before the close
auburn Auto was in urgent demand.
Following publication on the bond tape
OF the announcement that 900 shares
were wanted for cash." In various
relatively inactive issues there was a
thln market on the Offering side
throughout the session.
No Help From Commodities.
Today's advance was achieved with
out much help from commodities. The
wheat market was lower on selling
which Chicago professed to believe was
for Farm Board account, an illuminate
ing commentary on the operations of
That organization. Coffee was strong,
up II to % points; hides advanced as
did rubber. Sugar was up a point or
two, but cotton was reactionary.
The oil shares took the lead at the
start, stimulated by the success of the
world conference to hold production in
line with consumption, affecting coun-
tries outside the United States. Oil
stocks were higher in London before
the opening here and during the first
hour they were actively bid up in this
market.
Atlantic Refining Feature.
The feature was Atlantic Refining
which went to a new years high on in
creased volume. In this case, however.
there was good reason for the strength
because OF the recent highly favorable
second quarter earnings statement. At
lantic earned its dividend for the full
year in three months and even at to-
days advanced quotation it yielded the
purchaser at the present rate of dsi-
burSement over per cent.
Other oils in demand included
Standards of New Jersey and of Cali
fornia, both at the best of the present
rally, Socony-Vacuum and Texas Corp
Grafton. Phillips Petroleum reported
earnings Of 80 cents a share for the
second quarter, showing a net profit
Vi SI,oz4,4SU aIIer taxes, interest, de-
probation and depletion, against a net
loss in the preceding quarter of
81 1882. This was another evidence
of the improved outlook for the
petroleum producers and distributors
and was hailed as such by the market.
Reading Advances.
Railroad shares were not as active
as industrials, but all the important
changes were on the side of advance.
Reading ran up 3 to 4 points on the
June earnings statement. This was the
fifth consecutive month the company
had reported an increase in net despite
a falling off in gross. Delaware &
Hudson, Norfolk & Western, Union
Pacific and Atchison were all more or
less higher.
Short covering featured the HIGHER
priced issues of the grade Of Coca Cola,
Allied Chemical, Eastman Kodak and
American Telephone. The Coco Cola
dividend meeting will not be held until
August 8, but the present expectation
is that the regular rate will be declared.
