should not appear that they can not be

for. Mr. Squire has, however, been as

Condition of Trade.
New York, April 2. In their Weekly
Review Henry Clews & Co., bankers,
says:
"In general trade, the prospects remain
enoonraging. It is conceded in all mar
kets that prices have touohed bottom;
and that lays a basis for buying which
has not existed for the last twa years.
Manufacturers have pretty generally
reached a stage at which they can afford
to produce at the current scale of prioea,
though perhaps with strictly moderate
profits; and the consequence is an in
crease of orders, and preparations for a
materially enlarged production. In all
branches of the iron trade, exoepting
perhaps steel rails, there is a very dis
tinct improvement in business; whioh is
the mere gratifying because that indnetry
is always aooepted as the truest indica
tion of the state of business at large. The
cotton goods trade has entered on a
healthier stage, and with the rise in raw
ootton, fabrics are advancing in price.
The woolen trade shows a better demand;
but manufacturers are held in seme res
traint by fears of the trades unions de
manding an advanoe in wages. In arti
clea of domestic consumption, such as
groceries, etc, there is a steady improve
ment of demand, which shows that the
consumptive ability of the people is on
the increase. In brief, the trade of the
country generally affords evidenoe of a
resumption of natural oonditions, but on
an exceptionally low scale of prioes,
which seems likely to prove more or less
permanent."

City of Mexico, April 2. President
Diaz has formally signed with the Guate
malan minister the official dooument
which prevented the threatening open
rupture between the two oountries. In
his message, read before the semi annual
opening of the seventeenth session of the
national cougress, the chief executive
said:
"In the last few days the Guatemalan
minister, by virtue of instructions from
his government, has made certain propo
sitions to this government, most of
which, with some modifications, have
been accepted by onr minister of foreign
affairs, and were to-day Bigned. It is
ourduty to recognize the good judgment
shown by the Guatemalan government in
aiding this pacific conclusion of a matter
which from its nature threatened grave
consequences. We offer our congratula
tions that the honor and just interests of
both republics are thus preserved."
It is understood that Guatemala will
soon tender Mexico dne apology for the
insults offered this republic and will pay
full indemnity for losses inflicted npon
the American and Mexioan lumber camp
owners at Agua Azul.

The president's message said also:
"The survey commission between Mexico
and the United States met in San Antonio,
Texas, acoording to the terms of the in
ternational boundary convention of
March,-1890. It was decided to make an
examination of various matters presented
and to make special surveys of various
sections of the Rio Grande with a view
to submitting to both governments a
plan to obviate disputes arising from
ohanges in the bed of the river, which
project is now under study.

REPUBLICAN RHODY.
Democrats frighting- AcnliiHt Ureat
Odds In the State Kli-ctlon
To-day.
.Providence, R. I., April 2. The state
elections for a full ticket are held to-day.
The legislature consists of 101 Repub
licans and five Democrats. At the last
state election the Republicans triumphed
by a plurality of 6,307. On congressman,
eleoted on the same day, the Republican
plurality was 9,000. The Republican
ticket is: Governor, Charles Warren
Lippitt, of Providenoe; lieutenant-governor,
Edwin A. Allen, of Hopkinton;
seoretary of state, Charles P. Bennett, of
Providenoe; attorney general, Edwin C.
Dubois.of East Providence; general treas
urer, Samuel Clark, of Linooln.
The Democrats have this ticket: Gov
ernor, George L. Littletield, of Pawtucket;
lieutenant-governor, Augustus S. Miller,
of Providenoe; secretary of state, George
W. Green, of Woonsockot; attorney gen
eral, George T. Brown, of Providence;
general treasurer, John G.Perry, of South
Kensington.
The faot that the Republican candidate
for governor of Rhode Island is a son of
a former governor, and the Democratic
oandidate the brother of another former
governor, seems to show that the office of
chief exeontive magistrate runs in the
families on Providence plantations.

Cattle Inspectors to Be Named To

News from the Ranges,
Hon. J. F. Sinkle came up from Lin
ooln oounty last night and has put in the
day here very pleasantly greeting old
friends. Mr. Hinkle is en route to Las
Vegas where the territorial oattle sani
tary board, of which he is a member,
meets to-morrow. His advices are that
there will be a full membership present,
as the chief business in hand is the ap
pointment of half a dozen inspectors, in
cluding one at Kansas City and Trinidad.
There are about ten applications for each
of the inspectorships.
At this meeting also rules and regula
tions for the government of the live
stock industry under the new law will be
adopted.
Mr. Hinkle, ia common with all other
stockmen, is much elated over the steady
advance in the price of beef and predicts
the most prosperous year in a decade for
the live stock raisers of Mew Mexico.

The biggest stook run, in the history
of the Atchison road, has been begnn, 1
and a number of train loads went east,
yesterday and to-day. The shipments
will oontinue through two weeks, the
number of cars provided by the road, for
the servioe, amounting to 1,000. The cat
tle are chiefly from Mexico.
We understand that D. A. Clonthier is
an applicant for the position of cattle in
spector at Kansas City. Mr. (Jlouthier is
known throughout northern New Mexico
and respected by all who know him as an
honorable and competent business man,
well qualified to discharge the duties of
the position he seeks Stockman.
Some fellow up in Idaho has made
quite a rustle in the sheep trade by sell
ing 1,500 car loads of western wethers in
London aud the shipments have already
begun. These sheep are of the large
Oregon type and have been crowded on
oorn and alfalfa until they couldn't rest.
The sheep are carried over the Union
Pacific on special trains running at thirty
miles an hour and the lots are pushed
forward on schedule time to meet the
steamers at Jersey City, where the stock
is embarked for London. Field and

the man who sells for less than that will

E. E. Richardson, secretary and treas
urer of the Kansas City Live Stock Ex
change, while at fort Worth said: "The
oattle being sent to the markets this sea
son shows thnt it will result in a decrease
for the year of 600,000 to 700,000 head.
In view of this fact it is interesting to
know where the shortage oomes from.
Official reports of receipts at Kansas City
for the months of January and February,
1895, as compared with the corresponding
time last year, show a shortage from Kan
sas of over 80,000 head, while the receipts
from Texas to that market for the past
two months are 32,110 against 13,911
for the corresponding months in
1891. Colorado, Iowa, Missouri and
Nebraska also show a handsome gain. It
is expected as the season advances the
shortage of corn-fed cattle will be more
marked, which will have a tendency to
increase the price of the meat cattln from
this state. The improvement in the in
dustrial oondition of the oountry is also
stimulating the beef market, the demand
beiug better at the present time than for
a long period at this season of the year."
Dr. Chas. Cresswell, state veterinary
snrgeon of Colorado, gives the formula
for a sheep dip whioh he say was manu
factured in England thirty yrars ago, the
prinoipal ingredient soap weed being
imported from this oountry at a cost of
25 cents a pound. This expense prevent
ed the dip from competing with oheaper
artioles and its manufacture in England
was finally abandoned. To make the dip;
take soap weed root and noil and bruise
it nntil it is thoroughly reduced to a
pulp. To each ponnd of pulp add two
pounds of tar and let stand about one
week, until the soap weed "cuts" the tar,
stirring it several times eaoh day. The
addition of a little alchohol will make it
smoother, say about one half pint to
above proportion. When ths tar is tho
roughly cut add sufficient water to reduoe
it to the required strength about five
gallons to above will leave it as strong as
ever required, Which can be reduced to
twenty gallons where shiep are not bad.
Nature has abundantly suppled the
western plains, mesas and hillsides with
abundant and nutritious herbage for the
sustenance and fattening of all kinds of
live stook. Especially is this the faot in
New Mexico. Attention is now being
directed to the nutritive and fattening
qnalities of sotol, a vegetable growth of
the cacti speoies. Sotol is said by stock
men, who have closely studied its virtues
as a stock food, to furnish both feed aud
wator as it contains sufficient moistnre to
supply stook for long periods without
water. Sheep readily fatten on it while
cattle and horses take to it as they do to
graiu. It is not available for sheep un
less burst open with an ax. It grows in
the sliapo of an elongated ball, having a
thick, rugged bark or scale as covering.
The inside is a jnicy nutritious pulp.
The pla it no doubt could be cultivated
on irrigated lands where it would assume
much larger growth and value as a food
product.
