LIVESTOCK GOSSIP M
Some ide*' of the ups and downs of the
hog markets at the leading centers the
past five years Is shown by a comparison
of Monday’s hog quotations on the Fort
Worth market with the corresponding Mon-
day of nil. 1910. 1909 and 1908. On July
22. 1«12. hogs topped at fS.&t; 1911 at
•4.45; 1910. at M. 9- 1909. at 17.05; and
1904. at 14.55. From this It is seen that
from 1908 to 1910. hog values advanced
• 2.40 per hundredweight and in 1911 drop-
ped back to the lowest In the five years.
Despkc the fact that Missouri has con-
tributed materially to the Fort Worth
ket this year that market la aome 155.000
hogs short of the receipts of last year and
the packers are paying more than <2 Per
hundredweight more for hogs this year than
last.
Messrs. John Blocker and Bill Jennings
returned this morning from the Sierra
Blanco in Mexico where they have been
the past ten days looking after thely cat-
tle interests. While there they loaded out
some 700 head uf steers to pastures in
Dimmitt county. According to Mr. Block-
er. It Is not aa hot in Mexico as it Is on
this side of the river and the country
from a cattleman’s point of view. looks
prosperous. Cattle are doing nicely and
the Indications arc that this aHI be a pros-
porous year for the Mexican cattle ranch
man.
J. M. Dobie is In the city today from Co-
tulla. Tex. on business. H« stated that
hr was shipping out quite a few cattle now
and that he Intends to figure rather con-
spicuously at the markets right along wl<He
the* packers were in a mood to pay good
prices. He sold a load of 300 steers aver-
aging 1001 pounds on the St. Louis mar-
ket Monday at •»» and KH) head axeraging
970 pounds at 13.80. He stall'd that he
expected to lond out a train of steers from
Encinal about Saturday which would go
elthet to the Oklahoma City or. St. Loui"
markets.
Fort Worth nor her packers had any
cause to complain of a frog shortage today.
Oklahoma shippers lured by the attractive
high prices that the Texas market haa been
quoting for the past few weeks gathered
up some twenty car loads of hogs and
showered down on that market today with
the intention of bringing back to Okla-
homa some of the big hog money that
packers arc begging Texas farmers to take.
The day’s receipts were swelled to 2500
head the largest In many weeks. With the
pens full the buying element took their
time and took offerings on a 10 to 15-ccnt
lower basis.
T. B. Jones stockman of Del Rio. who
has been In the cUy the past three days
on business will leave fog home tomorrow
where he will wind up his seasons ac-
tivities In the live stock business. 'Tm
through shipping now” he said "and un-
less the markets get to demanding steers
and the country faces a beef famine. I ex-
pect to hold the cattle that 1 have until
fall. We need a little rain In our section
but the cattle can go a long time yet be-
fore anything like a drouth is experi-
enced.”
8. Ragland of the King ranch who has
been spending a couple of weeks at Min-
eral Wells for his health passed through
tho city this morning en route home. He
stated that the country he passed through
looked good that the corn waa high and
the cotton flourishing but that he'did not
see many cuttie. . e
E. P. Nance stockman of Kyle 1s In
town en route home from a steer buying
expedition In Zavala county. He stated
that while he saw several likely bunches
of steeis. that he did not make any pur-
chases. "Cattle suitable for the range are
valuable now and very much in demand
and the people w*ho have them are not
anxious to sell. It is this way all over
the country and many a stockman now is
wishing that he had his bunch of twos and
threes that hr shipprjL-lo market a few
w ago back on the range.” Z
J. T. Horton of Artesia was on the local
market today with two ears of cattle which
brought him distinction by bringing the
highest of the day. "The range in our
country is In fine condition but very short
of cattle. AH of the stockmen are In the
market for young steers and very few* of
them have anything in that line to sell.”
Mr. Horton bought a bunch of three-year-
old Steers which he will take back home
with him.
Oklahoma lacked only r couple of hun-
dred head of having as many cattle as
Fort Worth today when 1250 head were
consigned to commission mA) there. The
maikrt was quoted steady to strong. The
movement of Oklahoma steers is becomirig
genrial ami it is thought that the
new market will be liberally patronized
it is not likely however that Oklahoma
shippers will crowd the home market at
the expense of prices as the Texas cattle
shipper did Fort Worth this year.
W. T. Morton of Atascosa county sold a
bunch of light steers on thia market today.
