DAILY EA8T OREGONIAN. PENDLE1 uN, OREOON TUE8CAY, JUNE 21, 1904. CATTLE COMING UP BOTTOM PRICES HAVE NOW BEEN TOUCHED Farming Communities of the East Have Quit Raising Cattle on High Priced Land on a Large Scale, and Demand for Western Range Cattle Will Be Good. PAGE SIX. It now looks as If tho bottom has been reached In cattlo values nnd that prices, which havo already begun to strengthen perceptibly, will con tlnuo In tho upward tendency for Borne tlmo lo come, writes Solomon Sagebrush In the Sioux Stock Jour nal. It took a couplo of years after tho slide began before tho bottom was reached and as prices generally go down considerably faster than thoy go up, wo must not look for any moro than a steady, healthy strengthening of values, and looking nt tho matter In tho light of good reason, wo havo good grounds for predicting this. As a natural consequence, tho con gestion in the markets has been al most entirely relieved and overythlug sent to market within tho last two weeks has found a ready outlet nt Jalr prices. Tho top prlco of tho year for beef cattlo has been raised twice within that time on tho Chicago mar ket. The farming section is now calling for tho very class of ctatle which thoy have been nearly giving away to get rid of for tho past two years, which Is ovidenco enough to prove that the lido has turned. During the period of high prices, especially high on stockors, for a fuw years preceding tho big slump, the farmers could well afford to breed cattle and overy calf was saved, un til the shortage which raised tho prices In tho first place was more than made up. As soon as the demand for stock and feeding cattlo was filled, values fell until it was a losing proposition to raise cattlo on high priced land. Tho farmers then decided to get what . they could out of their young cattle and not get stuck any further. Their idea was to let tho people of tho West and South ralso llio cattlo and they would fit them for tho mar-. let. j 3t was this action on tho part of tho farmers and stockmen that forced prices down until cattle were' a drug cm tho market. For tho past two years breeding has not been stimu lated anywhere but on the ranges, and oven thero thousands of head of lielfers have been spayed and all dry cows and heifers turned Into beef. I But a little study of livestock sta tistics shows that tho entire produc tion of tho ranges does not havo much weight when compared with tho total output of cattlo in tho United States. Tho ranges have a better show In raising cattle, however, than tho tnrmlng section, where the cost can not be reduced to suit the prices. All the ranchmen who owned their cattle clear havo been able' to make a profit, though small, during tho depressions, aiu ?ar, hold their cattlo. when neces- I sary, until they can sell to advantage, without It costing ttieni moro than tho cattle are worth,. Those who have raised their own cattle have not felt the depression very much, but the men who got hurt aro those who. bought young cattlo at fancy prices. Thero hi too much of an element of spallation In this to make It a safe proposition, It may prove a good Investment on may not, but tho progressive ranchman can raise his own stock and know ho has a sure sourco of income. When tho farming states begin to depend on the rango country to do tho broedlng, that means higher prices all around. B H H a a 0 M M "3 A Strong Heart Is assured by perfect digestion.
