The Rancti and Range reports a
sale of til)08 head of cattle at $11.00
per head, and claims the price of stock
is gradually stiffening. Everything
points to a good season with good
markets, and lively year for stockmen.
The Breeders Gazette, Chicago, III.,
says that more stallions are being pur-
chased this season than for several
years past, which indicates an inten-

He shipped ten cars of cattle from

the tendency of the cattle market is
upward, and the outlook is favorable
for increased prices. There is a large
demand for extra good cattle, which
are rather scarce in Kansas this year.
Encouraging reports come from west-
ern Kansas, where a great many cat-

The exports of corn show an enor-
mous increase over last year. It is
■ery natural that it should, for we are
decidedly long on corn. Since ship-
ments have become liberal from the
gulf ports the volume of business has
been wonderfully increased, consider-
ably to the pecuniary benefit of farm-
ers in localities contiguous to tins
route of shipment. Farmers in Neb-
raska, for instance, have beon able to
get from 2 Otoe more per bushel for
their corn than if they had to depend
on the Atlantic ontlet alone. This
healthy rivalry between shipping
points is a good thing for business,
nnd may possibly help the live stock
trade later on.—Chicago Drovers Jour-

City of Mexico, Feb. 27. '!I7
Dear Home Friemis: When Inst I
wrote you, our party had just arrived
nt the qunintest and at the same time
the most American city of litis repub-
lic, Monterey. It has <Vi.1100 people of
whom about 4000 are natives of Ksta-
dos I'nidas, doing business there of all
kinds but engaged principally in iniu-
ing. We found the Hotel Monterey,
managed and owned by Mr. Mangold,
the best stoppiug place in Mexico.
Mr. M. has n wife, and daughter. Miss
Anna, who nssists him, and anyone
gying to Monterey will find them
pleasant entertainers. They have
been in Mexico for SJ years, yet are
thoroughly American in everything.
Among Others whom we met at
Monterey are: Aurelio Gonzales, of
New Laredo, a very pleasant young
Mexican who gave us our first lesson
in the lingo of his country; and Ar-
mando Yerena, a young lawyer who
kindly volnntered his services our
party as interpreter in visiting points
of inteiv-t in the city. We iilsu met
astockmau from Texas a' Topo Cliieo
Springs near the city, who is building
a nent residence there for his family.
We have forgotten bis name, but trust
when this paper reaches Topo Chico
we may hear front him.
There are mnny places of interest
about Monterey, notably Bishop l'al-
ace which was captured by our Gen-

used ns a point for the bombardment
of the city. Then there is the old

The most remarkable thing we have
ever heard of was the annexing1 of a
Baptist preacher from Lvon county
last week upon his own request sup-
plemented by his wife. The minister
ostensibly in his right mind, expressed
the opinion that he could do better
work for Ood aud humanity by sub-
mitting to the filthy operation, which
was performed by the celebrated pa-
tron of indecency, Or. Pilcher. The
matter has aroused such universal in-
dignation at Topeka that the physician
in charge of the Santa Fe hospitul
where the operation was performed
has lost his position. If the Lyon
county minister, so called, who will
read in the first chapter of his bible
that Ood created man in his own
images is willing to acknowledge that
he is too beastly to withstand his own
passions, he should be locked up in a
bull pen somewhere instead of being
called" to preach thB word of God
and furnish an example for good eit-
zenship.—The Republican. Council

of the queer features of the trade is
that while medium beeves are selling
on a weakening basis it is almost im-
possible to pick up a load of nice feed-

stationary as to prices and none too
many coming. To-dav we had lWIK)

the prices get a little higher than be-
