Prices declined \\<q hy, Reading and Louisville and
Nashville leading the downward movement. Sub-

Lackawanna aud Reading being prominent. Be-

X<ive Stock.
Barber County (Kansas) Index: One year
the sto Email goes to Oregon, auorhdt to Ari-
zona or New Mexico or California after breed's
ers for the foundation of his herds. His main
reliance lias been, however, the State of Texas.
There is 11 <> spot in the world where cattle can
be raised so cheaply and at the same time so
near an unfailing market as 011 the plains of
Texas. Yet so great has been this demand
and so many cattle were driven from Texas
l>etween 1*70 and 1*^0 that the average annual
increase in that St ;te was only 15 per cent.,
while in ail the States rr.;-i Territories west of
the Mississippi the average annual increase was
52 per cent. It needs a hardy class of cattle on
these plains to stand the extremes of heat aud
cold. The young stock from the East are too
tender to stand the test, ami a severe winter
HO per cent, of theui die with cold and
hunger. In Texas the cattle are more
hardy, and hence the great demand
for cattle to make the basis of the
herds. While Texas has nearly or quite 4.000,-
000 such cattle, yet the conditions are so favor-
able and the nmrkets are s good, rancheros
there prefer to keep all breeders, and sell only
the three and tour-year oid steers to be driven
north aud west to fatten for t«eef. Then breed-
ing cows ami heifers, the hardy and prolific
base of their herds, they will not sell except for
high prices. Hence, tor the last two or three
yeai 1 the cattlemen 01 Colorado» aud that sec-
tion have began to look beyond Texas aud into
Northern Mexico. Roughly speaking, a line
drawn from txuayraas. on the 1 iiilf of Califor-
nia. to Tainioca, on the Gulf of
Mexico, represent the chief cattle range
of Northern Mexico. From this enor-
mous territory deduct one-third for
mountains, deserts and tillable land, and there
remain two-thirds as grazing-land. Overall
of this territory in every extreme of climate,
from the thin, cold air of the high olateau to
the low hot lauds of the coast of T^fcaulipas,
rau-,e tlio hardy progenitors of thV rr-^"g
cattle. Long-horned, large-boned, gaunt im-
mense beasts, they are simply frames upon
which the sweet grasses of Kansas and the
West will make fine beef. The descendants
of the line stock brought from Spain
by the Spanish conquerors, nature has
adapted them through generations of neglect,
to their wild life. They are hardy, they are
wil l, and while their rating as to class is low,
yet the good blood of the past generation is still
there. They themselves will make good bee£^-
when they are fattened ou "rae western plains,
but crossed with the improved bulls from the
east or from Europe, oue or two crossee brings
them far above what the same would do for
t he ordinary class of cattle in the United States.
In Northern Mexico there is an available area
of «*0,oo0 square miles. About two-thirds uf
the territory is suitable for raising cattle.
Since the latest order of the treasury depart-
ment. base i on a decision of tne Supreme
Court, regai ning the free importation of cattle*
for bre< <iiug purposes, the imitorts of this class
01 cattle from Mexico have increased.
Mr. Sutton says that the stockmen of Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, etc.,
will take advantage of the treasury decision
and go to Mexico in greater numbers for
breeders. It will also gi ve a greater impulse
to the cattle-raising industry in Northern
Mexico. Even before this was known, condi-
tions were so favorable that large numbers off
American and English stockmen had started
ranches. Laud can be found iu such immense
tracts, at such low prices, taxes are so low,
labor so cheap, the climate so favorable
that, with all the expenses of living iu Mexico
and paying an ad valorem duty on all the cattle
sent to the United States, they haa figured out
an ample margin of profit. By the decision of
the court one-half of their stock, when in*
voiced, will go into the United States free ofi
duty. The demand is so much greater than
th5 supply that it will hardly change the prices
thereof perceptibly, but will simply add 20 per
cent, to the value of one-half their stock. In
the States of Chihuahua, Coahuua and Nuevo
Leon, a large amount of grazing lands has al-
ready been purchased, and the active prospect-
ing "has considerably increased prices. In.
Tamaulipas but little has been done,
as it lies off the line of the railroads
which are being most actively constructed,
and along the lines of which stockmen have
mostly followed. In this State of Tamaulipas,
however, is perhaps the most- perfect breeding
aud grazing country for cattle aud horses in
the world. There is more water than in
Texas, the soil is very rich, and if it does not
rain there are very heavy dews to keep the
grass green. The State nas a front of
about 250 miles along the Rio Grande,
and about oOO miles along the Gulf
of Mexico. Unlike the other States
of Northern Mexico, the mountains
do not cut it up into narrow valleys. A large
portion is very level, and in the whole Stat©
there is only a very small portion of waste
lands or mountains. Back fifty miles from the
frontier, to where Americans can buy real
rate, the people live in the old feudal man-
ner. Mr. Sutton says that somewhere in ther#*
towards San Francisco, Soto la Manna, Vic-j
toria, Tula or thereabouts, is, in his opinion^
the best opening for stockmen to buy catt^
and horses for export, or ranches on which
breed them.

Texas Wool says: The question of labor is
to flock-masters a perplexing yet most impor-
tant oue for discussion. At the present time
there is no regularity in prices, nor has there
ever been.

A parrot has been the means of iwscrfanfe
a young lady who lives near Boston, in a very^
peculiar light. This young lady sits on the
lower front piazza, with her work or book, *
large part of the time, but was out of town for
a week, during which time a parrot had been
hung in the upper piazza, a fact of which she
was ignorant, as she is a little hard of hearing.
Ilesunjing her old seat 011 her return, she be-
came very much annoyed at the attention of
passers-by, especially tlie young gentlemen,
and is now astonished to learn that the parrot,
hidden from view, has been addressing every-
body in the street with the free-and-easy invi-»
