recourse and if the bids here are not aatiafac
tory he ran then seud them on to another
niarki t I he real facts In the situation are
that the territory which bas heretofore been
supplying this market with beef animals hat
marketed its surplus up very closely aud there
sterna an urgent need for the packers as well
as the commission firms to invade new terri-
tory and advise the stockmen that San Antonio
will buy tin ir surplus at practically the same
price the\ will get for it iu Fort Worth, thus
saving them the freight and the shrinkage Incl
deut to u loug haul. Local packers have had
buyers out Id the country all the time, but this
has been an absolute necessity for the reasons
stated above. What are the packers and the
commission houses going to do about it? They
ought to gpt up Jointly or separately a state-
ment of the facta in the case and convince
the shipper that loyalty to home Institutions
is responsible In a large measure for that great-
er American sentiment, "My country, may nhe
ever be right, but right or wrong, my country."

There are certain factors on which the

pends Kroiu these It is usually possible
to determine not only the good points In
a system of tanning, but also Its de-

met hi ni nf Improving the system becomes
evident. On n great majority of farms
success Is primarily dependent on three
Important factors. These arc (1) the site
of a fiirm business; (2) the yields of the
crops a1111 the returns per animal, repre-
senting the nuiillty of the farm business,
«lid ill) the diversity of the business. Or
course many other things have their In-

excellent 111 none of these respects almost
universally fall. Those deficient In oue
or two may succeed, but their chancea of
success are generally lessened.

JOHN F. CLARK * CO.'S LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 28.—The Liverpool market resumed business today,
having been closed alnce December 23, and fully met bullish expectations, making
a new high record for spot quotations while futures closed 17^ to 1S4 points
higher, this being B'-i points better than any previous closing of tbe English
market this season. The opening here was at an advance of 6 to 7 points aud
the market was siegdy throughout the session, although there was no acaressive
eupport_or attempt to advance prices in evidence, the close being at a net gain
of 8 to 7 points. There were additional tenders on Januarv contracts, which nere
promptly stopped by spot houses Reports from ihe Ulterior are that the steailv
spot demand continues aud that what little cotton Is offered for sale Is promptly
taken at full prices. Fear "f unfavorable political developments and the crippled
eiport situation deters bullish activity, although the technical condition of the
market la undoubtedly sound
Liverpool is due unchanged tomorrow.
HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER
NEW YORK, Deo. 28. Under the Influence of the flrmuess of our market yes
terday Liverpool advanced so sharply aa to Induce some realising here on the
Idea that so sharp in advance must be followed by s reaction. Large orders,
howevar. for March on a baala of 12.40c absorbed all of the«e sales so that the
market haa remained iteady at about # to 8 point! advance all day.
Sentiment here ta rather In favor of a reaction and aurprlsed at this large
buying, which la laid to Continental account after iurh an advance Tbey rather
expect the South will be a quiet seller. though we think the demand from spin
ners w'.ll absorb tbe offers until the actual necessities of Kurope brings a revival
In th* export demand aa It did last season. We think the sentiment here li bearish.
H. A B. BEER S LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 28.—There were further lenders on Januarv contracts
In American markets today, notices for several thousand bales having been Issued
here and in New York, but were taken care of.
The optlmlallc reports coming from the cotton goods markets of America and
England give oncouragement for operations working lu the Interest of higher prices
Conditions are ripe for a good advance If tbe South was able to do a larger
eiport business, but foreign buyers are without orders of any consequence owing
to the high cost of moving cotton to Europe.
Cotton In Liverpool la selling at the highest level reached thus far thta seaaon,
7.78d for middling, or 15.56c ner pound, whereas cotton In the South la offered at
a price considerably lower than It was aelllng In earlv October
Notwithstanding this fact, and the fact that Europe stocks are not Increasing,
In some Instances decreasing, when they should be added fo, there la little doing
In the South for export.
Unlike the farmer who is complaining of the failure of the market to advance,
English spinner* are working on the blggesl margin of profit for several vears
past, for while they are paying comparatively high prtcea for cotton In Liverpool,
they continue to talse tnelr prtcea for cloths and yarns.
That exports rre to continue light ts Indicated by the small stock on shipboard
at all United Stalea ports last Friday, 130,000 bales against 300.000

Stock raising ts one of the necessities of
prosperous horticulture. Exclusive grain
or vegetable growing may be carried on
for a time with every appearance of pros-
perity, tut too often the appearance la
deceptive, while the Income Is ready and
large, It Is at the continual expense of
the capital The land ta being constantly
and regularly Impoverished, thus reducing
It In value. Land cannot be cropped and
Its productiveness retained without stock
raising unless there Is such an exn«
ture for fertilisers as will lessen If not
destroy the profits. To a very large extent

There Is no substitute for cotton seed
meal as a finishing ration for beef cattle,
a fact fully appreciated by the man In
the corn bolt. A man with plenty of'
silage has a ration that will tide cattle
. safely through the wintry season, but If
cared for, with grain rtlslng and stock
growing each help the other to make
.profits and to keep up the aoll.
