from labor troubles and the strikes ap
peared to be Terr Incidental matter t
the same time the middle man was con
rldcrably more alive to Uie wants of the
spinner and an Improvement In real cotton
led to a similar conrse with respect to all
its accessories
The figures at outposts were w l ealoo

hull while stock at the latter might aally

The scale did not corer a bread rjhee of
fluctuation and each receajlon brought an
atrsr of eommJtments for both account
that rav a strong Indication of altered
tIcts with reference to supply and de

The cotton market bis had a complete
liquidation and It must be r fn that a
short Interest Is now amoBg the feature
of the situation With the passing of the
holidays therefore th laws of trade eaa

On this side of the water ihe volume of
business was large and a hettor feeling was
plainly manifest with the weakness elim
inated by the early trading there was little
of a bearish nature to relate July New
Orleans set the pare ior contracts and on
the last call slightly overstepped that op

small advance occurred A decline follow

Tort Worth Texas March 20 The order
Issued today by United States Revenue In
spector Cohh at Ylnltn I T which pie
vents the Importation of tcxas cattle Into
the Cherokee Nation will he a severe blow
to many cattlemen of this State who hav
already a ramped to take thousands of cat
tle Into that Nation for grazing It Is es
timated that more than half a million
head were to go to that country beginning
next month The Santa Ie was tn handle
nenrly 200000 head alone while the Unh
and Krlsco were to come In for a good
allure of the ttansportatlon
The order will not affect the Frisco so
much as the other roads because most of
the cattle to he hauled by that line will
stop In the Osage country Ths stockmen
of Texas will be the heaviest losers be
cause of this ruling as It will necessitate
their taUne cattle to other pastures pro
vided they can be had which is a mooted
question as most available lease lands
have already been taken
