misiake. Gcn'l Ros was bred by
Charlie Haley and is out rjf one of bis
best mares.
The season 1$ here when all prudent
breeders with a view to getting a spe-
cial class of horses are looking around
to see which of the stallions in his'
neighborhood or in this country will
suit his purpose best. Our people are
striving to improve the stock they are
raising and are now in iking more intel-
ligent crosses. We have within twenty-
five miles ot Abilene splendid repre-
sentatives of most every character and
faniily of horses. The thouroughbred is
well represented by a son of Imp 1M
let called Tom Powers but th -t is reg-
is'cred as Gen'l Grant owned hre by
Fred Wood and Lone Star owned at
Baird by Ellis R chardson. The trot-
ter is represented by HaskeW a worthy
member of die Wilkes family Broad

dy and others The Cleveland Bay. a

uality the property of Jesse Canoi
The heavier horse families are all rep-
resented and among the best of these
are the Belgium stallions cwned by Mr

is some discussion as to what the
market was last year and having been
asktd about this matter wc have e-
amir.cd our files and find that the
pru'cs paid September 4th 1891
range from 7:50 to 8:05$ Sept. 25th
7:50 to 7575; Orii. 161I1 7 to 7:55
Nov 6 625 to 6.75; Nov. 19.60a;
December 2 2d 6 50. From this &
will be seen that the farmers realized
a better average price for cotton last
ear than they have up to thisktim
this season but the prices from the
tune on promise to be better than th
average last season. The es'imatm
on total iccipts here for this year
are not higher than 6000 bales or
alKut 2000 bdes less than last sea-
son. '
Wiibai' is coming very slowly an3
there is no change in the market.
